Time to watch the rest of Supergirl (I am at S5 E2 right now, so this season and one more left).

Then after that I think I might do a full Buffy rewatch! (At some point).

But I also have a new fixation on the actress Zoe Boyle (plays Grace Emberly in Frontier, which I just rewatched), so I want to watch as many things she is in as possible...

This is a way I end up watching most things, actually! I get a fixation (or sometimes due to a long-term special interest, like how Katie McGrath - AKA Morgana in Merlin - is the reason I watched Frontier to begin with), and I binge watch many things that actor/actress is in! I get exposed to a lot more media through this.

Then I may get a new fixation (short-term OR long-term), and through that stream of linking interests I watch many more things and can enjoy much more media! Leaning into the way my brain fixates on things and has metaphorical "tunnel vision" in terms of awareness and interests, is the way that leads to the most of enjoyment of things, for me!

Occasionally, like this time, I will do a rewatch of something that I originally watched for a fixation, and my narrow attention becomes pointed elsewhere... which then leads to this cycle starting all over again.

My new interest in Zoe Boyle (who does a rather good fake Scottish accent, by the way! Not perfect, I can still tell as a Scottish person that she is not really Scottish, but it is very impressive! One of the best fake Scottish accents I have ever heard on TV), has made me take a renewed interest in watching Downton Abbey. I tried to start it a while ago, but didn't have a "point of attention" to keep me watching and focused. Now, I think I might be able to use my own brain's processes to my advantage, and try again!

I have a list in my notes app of TV programmes/films, in three categories; want to watch, want to rewatch, need to finally actually finish/give it another chance. It is getting SO long... 😅

Living (2022, dir. Oliver Hermanus) - review by Rookie-Critic

I have found that, over the year since I started writing these reviews, good reviews for movies that I truly loved are generally harder to write than the bad ones. It's easy to write about and articulate what I thought was wrong or could have been done better, but how do I write a full, well-articulated review of something I loved without just gushing about how good it was? There's only so many ways to say "The acting was good, the writing was good, etc., etc., and on, and on." So when I saw Living (2022, dir. Oliver Hermanus), I was walking back to my car thinking "Wow, that was truly fantastic. This review is gonna be rough." So what do I say, what reasons do I give, for loving Living besides the usual suspects?

First, remaking any Akira Kurosawa film is almost inviting criticism, and Ikiru is one of the ones that I would almost have said just couldn't be done better. I won't say that Living is better, but it is about as close as anyone could have ever hoped to have gotten. The raw emotion that the camerawork evokes (in conjunction with Bill Nighy's masterful performance as Mr. Rodney Williams) is something to behold. It feels like a movie from the 50s/60s (helped in no small part by the film's opening scene, which mirrors the look and feel of a film from that era) and that helps the first section of the film convey the stuffiness of its central character. The movie doesn't really concern itself with Mr. Williams' past outside of passive reference to his late wife and brief flashbacks (I'm talking a few seconds at a time) to his childhood and young adulthood, because the film is trying to show this man, on the far edge of his life, not knowing truly how to do anything other than work (and maybe go to the cinema once a week). We need not concern ourselves with the past because the whole point of it is to show him learning how to live in the moment. Not to regret his past, but to really start living (eh?? ehhhh????) in the now, while he still can.

Speaking of the film's central character, let's talk about Bill Nighy. Anyone who watches a decent amount of movies will know Nighy's face at least, if maybe not his name (or maybe neither if all you've seen him in is the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as he is hidden behind a bunch of CG'd tentacles in those films). He's one of those veteran actors that just knows what he's doing, full stop, and he carries the emotional weight of this film on his back with a spirit equal to Atlas carrying the world. The entire lifetime of regret behind the eyes of this character for a majority of the film is palpable and striking, digging straight into the empathetic core of the audience like few performances are able to do. Every time Nighy sings "The Rowan Tree" (or anytime the song plays at all in the film) I was just an instant mess of a person. It's wild how instant the tears seemed to be. One second I was perfectly fine, sitting in my theater chair, feeling bad for this character, but not really close to overwhelmingly emotional, but the second the notes started coming out of Nighy's mouth that was it. He distilled the feeling of lifelong remorse out into a single note, and then did it again with the next one, and again and again until the scene ended. It's one of the most brilliant pieces of acting I believe I've ever seen. I know I started this review off by saying I have a hard time pinpointing and articulating the bullet points of films I enjoy, but I could talk about Nighy's brilliant performance in Living all day long, and if this review comes across as just me gushing over Bill Nighy and nothing else, then maybe that's really all this film needed to be great, but I don't really believe that to be true. It may be too sappy for some, but I found it to have wonderful balance, and I recommend everyone give this one a try if you're able. It is, hands down, one of the most moving films of last year.

Score: 10/10

Currently only in theaters.
