hate when I finish a really brutal movie that shakes me to my core and then I can’t even recommend it to people. like it’s incredible and everyone should see it but also I have to slap 3,000 warnings on it and tell you you’re gonna feel like shit
maybe it’s an unpopular opinion and I’m not saying to watch media that will trigger you on purpose obviously but I think people need to be okay with movies that make them uncomfortable sometimes. it’s good to feel like shit now and then. the beauty and horror and poignancy of the human experience shouldn’t always be watered down and neatly tied up into a palatable package. something that disturbs you can also move you. it can change you. growth is often uncomfortable. there are so many masterpieces that might profoundly affect you that you’ll miss if you only look to movies for pure entertainment and nothing else
