  Up 2009

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Jun 2023 11

  It's that time of the year again where I have to pick a birthday themed film to watch in celebration of my Born Day! As the years go by, I realize the one thing I'm doing most is letting go: whether its of people; of things I cannot control; of ideas and preconceived notions I once had; and most painful of all is letting go of the dreams and fantasies I had of myself when I reached my 30s!

  A lot of talk about how this masterpiece is the greatest neo-Western of the century (spoiler alert: it still is), but really, it's a ghost story all along! The entire movie is Sheriff Ed Tom Bell’s perspective of Anton. Ed Tom has no clue what Anton really looks like cause he never meets him in the film.
