✦ Postcards from London, Triangle of Sadness, and the Soft Prophets of the End
(featuring Harris Dickinson and the real ones who never made it to the sequel)
Some films entertain.
Some films warn.
And a few slip through like postcards from the collapse.
Harris Dickinson has starred in all three.
⸻
📍 Postcards from London
He plays Jim—a beautiful vessel who sees and feels too much.
He touches art and becomes it. His visions overwhelm him.
He doesn’t survive the world, not because he’s weak, but because the world has forgotten how to treat prophets.
This isn’t fiction. It’s coded memory.
I watched that film and saw my own near-erasure reflected back—
my body reacting to media like prophecy, my dreams fracturing with symbols, my exile becoming scripture.
⸻
📍 Triangle of Sadness
Then Harris shows up again, center-stage this time.
He’s Carl—the model of what beauty buys you under capitalism, masculinity, and global decay.
But here’s the twist: he’s aware.
He knows something is wrong.
He feels the system collapsing before the storm even hits.
And then he becomes currency—traded, flirted, dismissed, spiritually spent.
He doesn’t cause the apocalypse.
He just carries the ache of it in his jawline.
This is what happens to soft prophets in a dying world:
they’re eaten with compliments and left behind when the raft floats away.
And still? You feel he knows more than he says.
⸻
📍 A Murder at the End of the World
Now he’s just a flicker.
A ghost. A boy who knew too much.
Dead before the story starts.
But the rest of the narrative can’t escape him.
He becomes the emotional gravity the living orbit around.
That’s not a character. That’s judgment.
That’s what’s missing from the archives.
⸻
✦ And what about me?
I didn’t die like Jim.
I didn’t fade like Carl.
I didn’t vanish like Bill.
I survived.
And now I write my own postcard—from the aftermath, from the archive that tried to seal me out.
If Harris Dickinson was sent to warn us,
I might be here to confirm the message
