#When a man loves a woman

Tᕼᗴ Տᗩᗰᗴ ᖴOᖇᗴᐯᗴᖇ.

. . . [ ] And if I call her and tell her Before, people's joy was not in me but now that she came into my life I am so happy but I think it was my fault and I feel a little serious and indifferent but I would change the nostalgia of Christmas night for a simple chat, a couple of songs on the roof, contemplating the moon and stars but I don't think she will answer me. My world is so simple and small.

But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,

Lives not alone immured in the brain

“When a man loves a woman,

He'll spend his very last dime,

Tryin' to hold on to what he needs,

He'd give up all his comforts,

And sleep out in the rain,

If she said that's the way,

It ought to be.”

When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 

Everybody Hurts - Song by R.E.M.

Got home from the airport late and exhausted last night so I watched this week’s Monday Philm today! Since I just saw John Mulaney’s new stand-up special about his time in rehab and recovery, I decided to keep up the theme with When a Man Loves a Woman (1994), starring Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia.

This one has grown on me. At just over two hours it’s a little long, but it still grabs your attention even when you just have it on in the background. Maybe it’s because of how frazzled the Mulaney special left me (very funny because there are things you just have to laugh about in recovery but also left me thinking about the not-so-funny stuff), but When a Man Loves a Woman was really moving today. Parts of it still feel like a mix between a Hallmark movie and an after-school special, but it’s a really clear-eyed portrayal of alcoholism, the ups and downs of having a relationship with someone fighting an addiction, and a non-linear recovery journey. The little girls just break my heart. Garcia is fantastic (and so handsome) but the kids make the film for me, it wouldn’t be half as impactful without their performances.

I think this might be one of PSH’s least talked about roles. Like, even his other bit parts are mentioned relatively often but hardly anyone brings up Gary! It’s a very brief performance but he’s full of emotion every second. A perfect example of a Hoffman performance that makes you feel like he is a fully-fleshed out person outside of the film and we’re seeing just a few brief vignettes of his life as it intersects with Alice’s. So authentic.

And I say this every time I watch any Philm because it’s always true for whichever character I have seen most recently—but he the most beautiful boy in the world here! What a heartthrob, put that sweet gorgeous baby face on the cover of Tiger Beat!

Justice for Amy who didn’t deserve to be overworked and yelled at so much by Alice and Michael!!! Childcare workers should unionize

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.
