We’ve all had that experience. You finish a movie, the credits roll, and you just sit there in silence for ten minutes staring at the wall. You know you just watched a literal masterpiece, so just spit out the name palllllll.

For me, it’s about that emotional hangover. You feel different after the movie ends like your perspective on humanity or history has shifted slightly. I recently had this feeling after finally sitting down to watch Schindler's List. I knew it would be heavy, but I wasn't prepared for how much it would drain me. It’s a 10/10, but I don't think I can ever press play on it again.

I’ve also been diving into Nuremberg, and it’s the same feeling. Seeing the raw reality of justice and the darkness humans are capable of is fascinating but mentally taxing. It makes you realize that cinema isn't just for entertainment; sometimes it's a necessary, painful mirror.
