Anyone remember The Birdcage with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane?

I hc they're in the CMIM timeline and I'm 100% percent taking Miguel to their club. I must culture him with drag shows 🕺🪩

that scene in Toys(1992) when Leslie(Robbin Williams) and Gwen(Robin Wright) are having champagne in the snow and a bulldozer comes through the wall and soldiers hut-hut-hut march out ov the hole in the wall, spoiling the pretty silence and stomping on all the miniatures and the snow...

...I felt that.

I've just finished watching Good Will Hunting that has been on my list for ages, but I'm struggling to experience what so many fans loved about the film.

it's a real good movie no denying that but i don't think i understood the lessons it was trying to tell.

I think one of the main themes of the film was about not wasting your life away, and taking hold of your cards and betting your odds to see what you get.

but define wasting your life.

i still don't get it. why are we always pushed for greater potential? why do we always need to he great? what if I'm happy, comfortable just right here? i mean for sure the world can offer a great deal more, but i am a small man, and I'm happy with what I've got right now.

i guess that's why i was so confused. everyone was pushing Will for more, to do better, to reach higher, but what if he feels okay about just living his life like this? what's the point? for humanity's progress, for the world, for the country, for what? he has his choices; he has his freedom to choose.

when you have choices, why can't we choose the safer one? we don't always know which is the better choice, so why always the so-called 'better' one? each choice has its own road, and i don't think they should be compared.

fans of Good Will Hunting please talk me through this. I'm really struggling to see what I'm missing.

to be honest I'm still figuring out the 'always seeing the worst of things is bad' theory. i don't think it's necessarily bad; it gives safety and space for careful consideration. am i doing this wrongly

Thinking about dead poets society

[rachelmoffat01]

I like to think that Todd Anderson grew up to be Jesse from the Before Trilogy, he graduated Welton and couldn’t bring himself to spend any longer at home, not with his family and not without Neil. he changed his name, no longer wanting to be associated with the name ‘Anderson’, wanting an out from his family. so he decided to travel, see the world, explore life and write whilst doing so. every year he sees the rest of the dead poets and they meet up and have a meeting. he told Céline all about them, his time at Welton, his favourite ever teacher Mr Keating, and all about his very best friend Neil Perry.
