#1) yeah yeah i usually have the maltese falcon on in the background lately#2) but i especially feel this for christmas in connecticut!!! PLEASE watch the most shenanigans of all shenanigans#3) IT'S JUST SUCH A JOYOUS LAUGH............#4) related -- i like the book a smidge better than the movie bc no matter how many times i watch the maltese falcon.....#......i still feel so confused. the book is easier for me to process.#even if the movie is a great adaptation.#i guess you could say it manages to make me as confused as sam is every single time despite knowing how it works out.#which is an accomplishment i guess?? bc when you break down the events into how they worked out#(which yes clearly i have on my online plot wall)#it works out fine! makes sense!!!! there's just something in the movie that is hard for my brain to hold.#it's also like. the falcon doesnt show up LATE. but the first mention of it takes time. and it's a whirlwind of pieces to keep track of.#but some scenes i watch and immediately experience great clarity. the last time i watched the very end i was like NO NO I GOT IT.#i feel this way about north by northwest too. i watched both movies like. pretty young#and then continued watching them as i grew up so sometimes it takes some years and many rewatches for my brain to override the initial#childhood confusion watch#you know how many years it took me to finally understand the plotlines in godfather 1 and 2???? like 5 years.
