  • Blue Spring

    Blue Spring

    ★★★★★

    there’s not many films which exhibit the disparity of youth as well as blue spring. 

    a bleak exercise in hopelessness; of shattered dreams and broken youth. 

    the nihilism and mundanity that stems from one's adolescence. 

    the longing for purpose or a semblance of it. 

    friendship and rebellion. 

    lack of order and defiance. 

    teenage angst, misanthropy and unfiltered bouts of pent up rage.

    Goldman v Silverman

    ★★★

    low iq - cool short about two new york street performers hustling over a corner block

    high iq - sandler's goldman is a metaphor for the oscars and him telling silverman to fuck off is basically the bullshit that was handed to uncut gems in what was a clear snub, how the fuck wasn't sandler nominated for best lead
