Hear me out... Willem and Jude

okay, so I am one of the stupid people who brought 'a little life' with them on their summer holiday, and I am beginning to realise the errors of my ways. I just finished chapter 1, and I have realised that this book will sting and leave me emotionally ruined. I will keep you updated.

Wish me luck

I just want them to make an “A Little Life” miniseries in 10-15 years when Kit Connor is old enough to play Willem. Please and thank you.

(though this really isn't for the faint of heart. i have to mentally prepare myself every turning page 🥲)

Ode to the Judes in my life

when the world has failed you one to many times

broken you down to pieces, left you lost and terrified

when the people weren’t there and they weren’t kind

ripped your heart, split your soul and tore your mind

when the world made you turn on yourself

your skin scarred and bruised with not much left

when the people’s own pain made yours less

your life slowly shifted into inextricable mess

when the world has shown you once again

the utter nonexistence of better change

when the people left you drained in pain

your solitude so wide so deep and intense

i beg you to hope and wait

i beg you to love and yearn

i beg for you to stay

A Little Life, rage & tenderness

When I said I wanna be a main character I didn’t mean Jude st Francis ……..

Been creating some content for a new book review account on the ol’ TikTok that I’m making (@/danasbookcorner). And I’m also a filmmaker. So I’m combining skills, and for my favorite books, I’m doing these short little book trailers ahead of my review. So naturally, I had to start with “A Little Life” 😊.

DISCLAIMER I do not own any of this footage. It is pulled from:

"Mr. Robot"

"Jungleland"

"Jacob's Ladder"

"Beatriz At Dinner"

"The Roads Not Taken"

"Drive"

"Euphoria"

"God's Own Country"

"Homeland"

"Honey Boy"

"Close"

"Really Love"

Song: "Anniversary" by Novo Amor

And it’s got Rami Malek as Jude, Charlie Hunnam as Willem, Jonathan Majors as JB, Jesse Williams as Malcolm, Salma Hayek as Ana, and Mandy Patinkin as Harold.
