The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 1991, dir. Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise.

Heresy? Do they still burn men for heresy? Then burn me, monsieur. Light the fire. Do you think your little candle will outshine the flame of truth?

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

SHARE YOUR LETTERBOXD TOP 4 FILMS

tagged by @davidlynch. thank you for thinking of me! :)

man am I bad at these tag games. I don't even have a top four sorted out yet (I only really started watching movies last january, so I thought it'd be impossible to make a list of films I honestly find to be both great and personal to me—you know?). there's so much to get through! it's a little daunting. but in lieu of formal favorites I'll share four films I love that have left the most lingering impression on me so far since I started out last year:

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) dir. David Lean

The Witch (2015) dir. Robert Eggers

The Passion of Joan of Arc / La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928) dir. Carl Theodor Dreyer

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) dir. Rouben Mamoulian
