It don’t always work out!

-into the uncertain future, having learned from the cautionary tale in his personal life was important to me but also bittersweet. In many ways I feel like I’m just one of those cautionary tales myself now. We all won’t get to make the semi-autobio work about it working out in hindsight because,

I came away the movie satisfied but also kinda sad. And not really for the characters in the movie, kinda for myself I guess. I’ve heard some version of it the ‘this shit(following your passions) will break your heart’ quiet a few times from artists/filmmakers/industry pros and seeing Sam advance

How a dream deferred leads to other dysfunctions, settling/compromise creating existential crises, all that shit really hit home. Third act has some stuff that doesn’t have to make sense because some times there’s not a reason for the things we do

Completely forgot to return to this 😆 Nah I really liked how whimsical the act of creation was depicted, how it was a compulsion to be answered, with the sacrifice required to indulge your passion played out in both Sam and his mothers lives.

Will allow my introspection to simmer, concise thoughts on the film in the morning

Ok, the magic has turned to melancholy
