gorgeous, moving essay. thank you for sharing. I also loved this movie, but saw it before i was old enough to understand it.

Thank you—that means a lot to me.

It’s wild how some movies slip past us the first time… and then circle back when we’ve lived enough to really feel them.

I think that’s the gift of aging—we finally understand the layers we couldn’t see before.

She was phenomenal in that movie. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time.
