The Future
It’s impossible to express how much I loved the movie The Future. This list is really the best I can do. I wish I could do more but oh well below is my silly list:
(Spoiler alert!!)
1.) The Color scheme.
2.) Strange vintage clothes highlights.
3.) Hippopotamus figurines.
4.) Escher prints.
5.) The sort of relationship I have never been in but always worried I might get into, played perfectly by soft spoken actors who you believe every moment even during the most bizarre set ups you believe them both.
6.) Childhood sleeping time comforts crawl back to you if you leave them behind.
7.) The New York time review had this to say “Ms. July subjects her characters — which is to say herself — to tactful satire without denying them sympathy.”
8.) Collecting wise old men as buddies.
9.) The quote “I accidentally made the sound that means I am cat belonging to you.”
10.) Being someone’s cup of tea.
11.) In the moment living is really really hard to do and makes for a really hard life.
12.) Time as an organizer in your life. And not like I have an appointment at three or its Tuesday I must go to work, but the idea that life is both very long and very short.
13.) “Good morning person.”
14.) Paw Paw.
15.) It perfectly captured the sadness of waiting and waiting
16.) You can:
“Either tell the truth or lie.”
“No we are much too close. I could never do either of those.”
17.) You know that part after a break up where you feel so sad and want so badly to reach out to your former other but your ashamed or embarrassed or scared and every moment is a huge decision??? Well again this movie captures that so well, it broke my heart and drove me right back to every time I had ever felt that and just dropped me off there to feel it again. Such a real feeling.
17.) Having a sign to show you are still who you say you are to one another.
18.) The frustration of normal life.
19.) Mirand July is so beautiful and she is my favorite sort of beautiful, this rare and poetic sort that I cant begin to create a dialog about. Directing and staring Miranda July, also the voice of Paw Paw.
