"no matter what the weather is, i wish for all of you blue skies and golden sunshine internally all along the way."

this is, without a doubt, one of the most emotionally shattering films ever made. with david lynch’s passing, the film feels even heavier now, a lingering echo of his ability to unearth the deepest, rawest truths of human pain. lynch didn’t just make movies, he built emotional landscapes, places where beauty and terror coexisted, where the inexplicable felt…

“mankind was born on earth. it was never meant to die here.”

this isn’t just a movie to me, it’s a masterpiece that transcends cinema, and i am thankful everyday that i have blessed to witness this film. this film isn’t just the greatest science fiction film ever made, it’s one of the greatest films, period. christopher nolan is, without a doubt, the greatest director of our time, and this film cements that legacy in a way no other film…

coming into this as someone who’s read the book, i was honestly a little worried about how they’d translate all the internal problem-solving and science-heavy sections. that’s such a huge part of what makes the story work, and i think the movie does a pretty solid job of capturing that process in a way that works for the movie. it still feels like you’re watching someone think their way through impossible situations, which i really appreciated.

obviously some things are…
