Leave the World Behind (2023)

[singinginthecar]

ok but why do ppl hate the movie 'leave the world behind'??

you used to be able to go into a tag after you watched a little movie and find a gorgeous little gifset or photoset or 12 and now you're lucky if you can wade through all the xreader posts to find even one we used to be a website

this year i learnt that things are meant to happen when they're meant to happen. no amount of rushing will make them happen sooner. also... you never have to worry about losing out on the things destined for you. if it has your name on it, it will always be yours. i read somewhere "if it's meant for you, it will reach you even if it's in between mountains. but if it's not meant for you, it'll be taken away even if it's between your lips". what a lesson.

You know fans are interesting, we really know nothing of the inner life of the celeb and often times are dead wrong about what’s going on in their lives but still discuss it like they know everything - it’s bizarre. I think what I like about Taylor is that all this outward facing stuff ultimately means nothing, we later get songs saying everything was not as it seems it’s funny to look back and think about. Her diehard fans never seem to learn this lesson though. I really feel like these pap walks are just what she wants us to see. She may be perfectly happy or she may not be. Who knows, what fun! We may find out the truth in 2 years or more!

no because it's literally 'guys she so happy with this relationship rn he's amazing' 'oh no she was actually miserable and he sucks' 'okay NOW she's finally happy in this new relationship and he's amazing' 'oh he sucks and she says she was miserable the whole time' 'okay so NOW look at how happy she is he's amazing' 'you'll never guess what happened-' it's almost like they never know what the life of a complete stranger is like but spend their time acting like they do

"i love you but you are not serious people" & "i love you but i cannot fucking stomach you" have the same exact energy. the writers on succession were the absolute best.

'you are not serious people' is a phrase that has done so much. thank you logan succession

ever since i got access to american library cards thanks to tumblr user anneemay (pbuh) 2 weeks ago ive lost even the 3% sympathy i had for americans crying ofc we’re stupid and illiterate our schools suck!!! because you assholes have had FREE ACCESS to THOUSANDS of books and audiobooks and classic films this ENTIRE TIME you’ve been blaming your schools for your elected ignorance!!! from my home in India I’ve listened to eight audiobooks and watched half of cronenberg’s oevre and I’m watching nosferatu (1922) today and I can’t even go to a library in person and you people have had these things your entire life yet you come on tumblr at 18 19 20 and say you don’t know who james baldwin is and if you expect me to you’re classist and 18 year old Americans are too stupid to know bombing foreign countries kills people so it’s okay if they choose to do that rather than work at McDonald’s and of course I have no idea what stocks are or what colonialism is and MCU is the height of cinema and it’s feminist to wear makeup like. my god. you people are going to go through the rest of your life being incoherently stupid and it’s not because you’re poor and it’s not because your schools suck but its because you’re so ensconced in your American privilege that you will never be forced to confront the realities of life and you can go on living your Disney adult fantasies because you’ve destroyed your innate human curiosity and potential at the altar of hyper consumption.

my partner is only 40 but nestled within him is the soul of an elderly man

thinking abt the girl who edited That post that taylor had liked on that fated day in 2020 and how because of the events of that day, taylor never came back to tumblr and interacted with any of us again... and that poor girl who did the editing left tumblr and never came back either

read somewhere "leaving behind the last year they loved me" and let me just say... ouch.

so it didn’t work out. that doesn’t mean that other things won’t work out. this one just wasn’t meant to be.

dinosaurs are like the coolest thing possible for a child to learn about. it’s like hey i know you were just borned but giant monsters are real and they fought each other in wars for 100000000000 years and then blew up when the sky exploded.
