June Queer Films Marathon

I'm making a marathon watching one movie per day this pride month. I watch a lot of series but somehow don't watch that many films. I have a huge ass list of films I want to watch and it keeps on growing every year.

So this month I'm going to post a review every day! I don't have any purpose for posting this on Tumblr, I was going to do it by myself so I thought why not post about it. Maybe someone gets a recommendation out of it.

This is the list I'm following in case you want to join me 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

I'm so saaaaad, I want to be active here but I'm currently studying and working at the same time. Plus trying to meet my long distance friends, as we usually do in summer. I miss Tumblr :(

I don't know what they put in When Oranges Fall but I am catching up with it so fast I am shocked since I haven't had the urge to binge anything in a while. Honestly, Thailand, I missed this version of you.

I don't understand how people just Do things without daydreaming. like how are you not off in a silly little fantasy world rn

[personaglitch]

"Self insert characters are cringe"

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.

[http-tempted]

when you listen to a song and it gives you inspiration to daydream an answer to the plot hole in the story building inside your head

[heyhoneyfox]

Maladaptive daydreaming as a child was like "what if I was in the digimon universe" and now it's like "what if someone genuinely loved me even though I'm flawed"

June Queer Film Marathon

Day #16: Who'll Stop the Rain

Representation: lesbian

Taiwan

2023

Synopsis

In the 1994 post-martial law period in Taiwan, the students were in the midst of protest. Chi-wei, a female college student, joins the strike to fight for their freedom of expression. During the protest, she slowly becomes attracted to Ching, the girlfriend of the leader of the student strike.

Review

⭐ 4 / 5 ⭐

The plot is very interesting, but the script isn’t well constructed. It has an odd pace – in some ways slow, yet at the same time a lot is happening. It fails to delve into important themes or explore the characters’ emotional worlds, despite having the potential to do so. It tries to tackle too many themes and characters but loses its way along the line...

And yet, the vibe won me over. I like the cinematography style and the very blue colour grading, the nineties aesthetic, the characterisation, the romantic scenes and the atmosphere of university protests. Objectively, I know it’s not a great film, but subjectively, I enjoyed it quite a lot. It immerses you in a melancholic and emotional atmosphere; it conveys that intellectual and revolutionary energy; and gives you depressed lesbians with a happy ending. In summary, it’s not going to change your life, but it’s a good film for a lazy afternoon.

"I ask Ching if we really changed anything. She says 'Protest will never stop'."
