nip all your doubts in the bud. does the version of yourself you want to embody think like that? no? then neither do you.

you are not the girl with no friends. you are the girl who lights up every room she walks into. everyone knows your name, and no one regrets learning it. whether they met you 15, 7, or 2 years ago, everyone you meet knows you are a friend for life, and cherishes you as such.

you are not the boy who can’t shift realities. you are the boy who shifts anytime you want with no hesitation. doubt fears you. all it takes for you to shift is a blink and a wish. like its your destiny.

you are not the kind of person that can be held back by words in your head. logic never phases you. the only “truth” that matters is the one you carry yourself with. be the person of your dreams. trust in your heart that you are on the right path, and nobody will ever deny you.

7 of swords man is so greedy not only is he taking 5 swords in his hands but also by their blades how desperate is he to get away with his scheme? I don’t think anyone else in the entire suit is holding the swords by the blade.

Even the 5 of swords who is similar to the 7 of swords is holding the swords correctly…just mischievous and greedy

Past Lives works so well for me because I am so enamoured with pragmatism in fiction.

I read and watch a lot of stories about idealized love stories and I often enjoy them too! I spent my entire childhood believing that the teenagers who got together in the media I consumed would stay together forever. And then as I got older, I was naturally introduced to more stories about romances that didn’t work out. Still, it’s hard for me to think about those as pragmatic, most of them have this desire for sadness in them. They would make me feel as though the devastation was the point, that the narrative was forcefully bent toward the saddest outcome.

Past Lives doesn’t make me feel this way. Nora doesn’t stop talking to Hae Sung because of an unforeseen tragic circumstance. She makes a choice and goes through with it. Hae Sung puts it best during their conversation at the end of the film. She is the kind of person to leave. And he loves her because she is that kind of person. The “what-if” isn’t in wondering about if circumstances were different. No matter what, she would have chosen her plays over anything else. Her husband even notes that so much of how their relationship happened is because he fit so well into the life she wanted. The whole reason this film is called “Past Lives” is because that’s the only way to ponder about whether Nora and Hae Sung could be together.

It’s such a delightfully Asian perspective on it. “In another life” films are so common, but I always feel like Western movies do it in a kind of parallel universe kind of way. I love that in this one, Nora is so steadfast and consistent in her personality and desires, that there is no real contemplation and consideration of making her and Hae Sung’s relationship work. There is only a longing and a love.
