"There is nothing like your own country, it's true. The love you get from your mother, can you get the same love from your stepmother? It's the same with a country that is not your own. To leave your country is a very, very serious thing."

I would love to see a list of movies from the last five (or ten or fifteen or whatever) movies that you've really loved, if you'd wanna share it? I definitely agree with you re: people decrying how "all modern movies are just CGI fests" because THERE IS SO MUCH VARIETY OUT THERE, you just gotta look around a bit! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

thank you for this ask! i love talking about my opinions <3

in terms of movies from the past few years:

We're All Going To The World's Fair (horror-adjacent new media trans* coming-of-age)

Titane (trans-adjacent black comedy/body-horror gore fest/found family drama. sweet, and even sweeter in the context of how fucking weird and uncomfortable it can get)

Memoria (a movie as a space to occupy. sound design as narrative thrust. a thought you can't get out of your head (a trepanned skull found during the construction of a highway). the impossibility of communication, and the importance of it regardless)

Everything Everywhere All At Once (generational trauma, the deep complexity of a fraught but loving mother/daughter relationship when it is also first/second gen immigrant, and straight/gay. butt plug fight scene. sausage fingers made me cry in the theater)

The Humans (horror sort of? psychological drama. funny. the house is a major character & Amy Schumer is sympathetic)

Drive My Car (slow bittersweet meditation on grief, performance, and human connection) & Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (Hamaguchi made 2 movies in 2021????how. but again: human connection, and the space a narrative can make for us, the words it can give us, a plainspoken honesty and room for your regret and anime blu-rays)

maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore (essay-film. language, myth, nature, and community)

Bacarau (surreal genre-mash town-under-siege story. Udo Kier as the personification of western colonialism. idk how to summarize this one it is A Lot, 10 pounds of movie in a 5 pound bag)

Lover's Rock (music, community, the casual intimacy of a house party. beautiful, joyous little thing. all of Small Axe is good but this especially)

Shirley (a good biopic? again, not-quite-horror...creation, invasion, psychosexual weirdness. the terror of being seen/the seduction of seeing)

laying it all out you can def see what my tastes are lol. & there's been a fair amount of 'really liked it but either the affection faded or it never bumped itself from Really Like to Love'. Faya Dayi, Macbeth, The Night House, Candyman, Annette, Swan Song....also some things i like bc i think the actor is super hot (Green Knight, Who You Think I Am).

i actually don't mind CGI-heavy things or at least feel like the fault is in the execution and intent, not the media. i really liked Matrix: Resurrections for ex, but even things that ARE resolutely slick theme park rides with zero "redeeming values" & filmed entirely with the world's most alienating green screen can be good theoretically i just think MCU etc gets bogged down in shit that is supposed to make you care about the characters but never does. a parallel universe MCU where every movie is like 90 minutes, has no serious continuity, and exists just so we can watch superheroes fighting supervillains sounds kinda dope actually
