I think one of the weirdest things I encounter on a regular basis is the people who think that, because I am an avid animation nerd and most of my favorite media is animated, I must therefore literally never engage with adult media. Even when they recognize that animation isn't just for kids, they fixate on my enjoyment of whatever random kids' show they happen to have some problem with. (And tbh it's usually Steven Universe, because everybody still loves being a turd about that one for some goddamn reason.)

I don't even bother trying to correct these people anymore. There's no point in me trying to prove anything to people whose idea of an insult is "you care about the quality of media being presented to children."

It is really funny when people try to pull the "you only like kid shows!" argument on me when I've been watching a lot of horror lately, though. Like, ah, yes, you got me. I only watch kid shows, such as the fun and wholesome adventures of Chucky the Killer Doll.

rivaling film student character and y/n.....partnered together to make a scrappy avant garde short film.....hanging out outside of class much more than they'd like....always arguing about the artistic vision.....they secretly get tons of footage of one another behind the scenes.....the film slowly loses its original concept......turns into a process montage of them falling in love with each other through the lens.....

Watched Payel Kapadia's All We Imagine As Light last week and my heart has grown fonder since. It reminded me of why I love cinema as much as I do. I was drowning in the same overused stories, until this came like fresh air and saved me a little.

Kapadia's brilliant soulful scenes are enthralling and yet so unassuming. It's for everyone who lives in faraway cities where loneliness collects itself in a bundle. You'll feel your loneliness recede slowly as you become one with the movie. You'll see yourself in Prabha, a caged nurse shun by her husband and Anu, an adventurous fierce woman, both navigating life, longing and social realities in Mumbai. Though, this Mumbai is not laced with dreams but with darkness and melancholy. A city of illusion and impermanence, and yet one must imagine the light. Under the city's shimmering blue, I reimagined myself in it's female friendships, desire and insecurities. The film explores countless themes without overdoing it. One dialogue that stuck with me is 'Class is a privilege. Reserved for the Privileged.'.

The film reveals itself like poetry, the verses of which I found in Agnes Varda (female solidarity, cats), Chantal Ackerman (how it deals with loneliness in cities, city as a character), Edward Yang (social alienation, fractured modernization) and many more. The tenderness and sensibility of the film stays with you, slowly healing, slowly transforming something in you.

I love loneliness. I love love women. I love love love cinema.

All We Imagine As Happiness.
