Devotion is a place where you do not exist; life just flows through you as a certain sweetness and beauty.

A million times I think about rewatching FT
And then I CRY over IT
Again, I cry about it
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
(I can’t bring myself to read it rewatch it, it’s too tragic but it love seeing Jonny and matt’s chemistry)
crying? too tragic? idk what u mean.

Boot Theory
by Richard Siken
A man walks into a bar and says:
Take my wife–-please.
So you do.
You take her out into the rain and you fall in love with her
and she leaves you and you’re desolate.
You’re on your back in your undershirt, a broken man
on an ugly bedspread, staring at the water stains
on the ceiling.
And you can hear the man in the apartment above you
taking off his shoes.
You hear the first boot hit the floor and you’re looking up,
you’re waiting
because you thought it would follow, you thought there would be
some logic, perhaps, something to pull it all together
but here we are in the weeds again,
here we are
in the bowels of the thing: your world doesn’t make sense.
And then the second boot falls.
And then a third, a fourth, a fifth.
A man walks into a bar and says:
Take my wife–-please.
But you take him instead.
You take him home, and you make him a cheese sandwich,
and you try to get his shoes off, but he kicks you
and he keeps kicking you.
You swallow a bottle of sleeping pills but they don’t work.
Boots continue to fall to the floor
in the apartment above you.
You go to work the next day pretending nothing happened.
Your co-workers ask
if everything’s okay and you tell them
you’re just tired.
And you’re trying to smile. And they’re trying to smile.
A man walks into a bar, you this time, and says:
Make it a double.
A man walks into a bar, you this time, and says:
Walk a mile in my shoes.
A man walks into a convenience store, still you, saying:
I only wanted something simple, something generic…
But the clerk tells you to buy something or get out.
A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river
but then he’s still left
with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away
but then he’s still left with his hands.

Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) & Peter Smith Kingsley (Jack Davenport) in The Talented Mr. Ripley (dir. Anthony Minghella)
I do know that one of the clues for me, and in fact it resulted in my completely enlarging a character who’s mentioned only in passing in the novel, is that when Ripley fetches up in Venice late on in the story […] it appears as if he’s experienced absolutely no remorse whatsoever for what he’s done. And as this character, Peter Smith Kingsley, is pulling the drapes off this dusty old Venetian palazzo, he turns round to find Ripley collapsed in sobs on a couch.
And it seemed to me to be a great index of what the film might be, which is to hint at the fact that there is some consequence, an internal consequence, that there’s a prison that you can’t escape from, which is a prison of your own head. And no amount of talent to improvise your way out of trouble will ever get you out of the trouble that you have inside your own mind.
And so in some way, I thought it could be a story about the sentence of escape, rather than the sentence of being caught. — Anthony Minghella
