Media that has shaped me

(for better or worse)

• Books
• The Book Thief - They way words are described, used? Like they're physical? My gods, amazing!
  
• The Color Purple - This one just struck me deep, Celie's story, her resilience and forgiveness and strength. Also that point mid-book where she stops writing to god and starts writing to Nettie.
• The Solitude of Prime Numbers - What can I say? We all knew how it was gonna end thanks to the title and by god does it still hurt. Mattia has a special place in my heart idc.
• Real Life - I'm literally the girl in the book. One day I'm gonna build a time-machine or magically get a never-produced gun that solves all my problems.
• Movies
• The Mummy - The one with Brendan Fraser obviously. I watched it when little and became OBSESSED with archaeology and mummies.
• Inkheart - Brendan Fraser count: 2. Again, I watched it when little and it made me a bookworm.
• 1917 - Gods okay. So this was the last movie I watched before quarantine. February 14th 2020, after I got my heart broken by the first (and as of now, last) girl I ever confessed my love to. I was so heartbroken I got really immersed in the movie and didn't even notice it was a no-cuts movie. The Night Window scene is the single best thing I've ever seen on the big screen. And well obviously I now have a deep appreciation and attachement to cherry blossoms.
• Handsome Devil - This one is just one of my fav movies, I'll have to think if it has changed me somehow. edit: How could I forget! it was the movie that gave me my true name! Tho for the sake of anonimity I wont tell whose character's name i chose.
• Dating Amber - Fionn O'shea count: 2. The friendship between Amber and Eddie....I'd love to have that one day.
• Nadie Nos Va a Extrañar - This one literally clawed open my chest, took out my heart and CRUSHED it in front of me. Banger soundtrack, banger cinematography, banger story and the end.... well
  
  yeah
  
  I really really really recommend it tho! I watched it in spanish (the original language) and not in english, so I cant tell you if it hits as hard in english, but i bet it does. Also im never watching the series again, one time was heartbreak enough.
• The Book of Life - I have the movie completely memorized. Dialogue,sound effects, songs, even some movements, you name it!
• Everything Everywhere All At Once - I mean come on. You can't just watch the movie and don't feel deeply moved and SEEN through Evelyn. Also the dildo fight was hilarious I almost throw up in the cinema bcs of how hard I was laughing. Incredibly my mom slept through it all-
• The Haunting of Hill House - [REVIEW UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
• Frankenstein - The Guillermo del Toro one. THEY INCLUDED THE OZYMANDIAS POEM!!! and while i knowwww its one of the most famous poems out there, it still sits in a very important place in my heart < 3 also I think it really fits the creature himself, with him effectively being the last standing remains of his creator long after its gone, and unlike the poem, he DOES survive for humanity to potentially marvel at him. Tho in that part, I think he stands as himself, not as his father's/ruler's creation.
  Also the costuming was absolutely astonishing! I wish I could sew and craft like that.I must admit I didn't cry when the old man died the first time because I was with my family, but the second time I watched it (alone, cuz it was the birthday gift I gave myself) I did shed a little tear.
• Game
• Red Dead Redemption 2 - I never thought I'd end up making a games list, and tbh this might be the only entry but byyyyy god, all the people who told me to play rdr2 where absolutely right.
  I started playing the game in november 25, reached chapter 4 by february 26 and nowadays Arthur is just sitting on limbo cuz i take aprox 2-3 weeks to finish a single mission. IM BUSY OKAY?!!! and also i dont want him to die. Still, him not dying defeats the whole purpose of the game, it wouldnt be a compeling story without that factor, and i know we wouldnt look so fondly at arthur if he hadnt redeemed himself because he was scared of dying!!! he wouldve been like Charles or Hosea or Lenny, likeable yeah, but not on par (?) with Arthur.
