Tell me about a movie that u like . What are your favorite aspects of it?

anon i love u

god i like so many movies but i’ll talk abt and then we danced (2019) (in its original georgian: და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ) bc i love it very very dearly and i don’t talk about it enough <3 (i talk abt it plenty but whatever)

(heads up this is not proper analysis or v well written it’s just some things i like abt the movie :^) + the numbers aren’t really to order more just to keep my thoughts organised)

1. i really just wholeheartedly adore the colour palette of it it’s so warm and gentle and there is so much light to it. it seems like it’s fairly cold (they generally wear a lot of layers) but it’s such a cosy and gentle movie and i 100% believe that so much of this is to do w/ the fact that the colours tend towards warmer shades even when they aren’t the yellows/oranges/reds that so much of this movie is. but also there r key points throughout the movie where the colouring DOES go colder and i really enjoy that abt this movie too the fact that it is generally v good at considering the imagery of everything n how it reflects the shifts in emotional states + what the characters are coming to know. i find it to b quite an internal movie (in a good way but like the characters aren’t hugely talkative there’s v little excess + the story/plot is focused around a small situation + a very emotional one) and i think that the colours do a v good job of bringing that internal story to a visual state (here r just some pretty colours)

2. the family + friends in this movie are so so gentle like there is conflict for sure but there is also just so much love that it’s a little unbearable (<- okay u can clearly tell i’m Emotional tonight . this is true but this movie is also to me one that i can absolutely have on in the background and just exist alongside w/out too much tension). but it really is just beautiful the way that this family loves each other and these friends love each other and through everyone’s mistakes and misguided moments there is such a return to comfort and belonging and also the safety you can find in the people you love. there’s a stunning moment where the protagonist merab and his brother david lie on merab’s bed together and it is i think one of the gentlest moments ever put to screen

3. i also really adore how very natural this movie feels in that the actors (particularly merab’s but also irakli’s and david’s) just work in a way that is so human and so realistic and they move and speak and stand as though they are just people. often levan gelbakhiani (who played merab) will make this movements and they are so subtle and so everyday that you almost miss them (things like touching something or playing w/ his necklace) but they contribute so much to the overall feel of both the character and the movie. and i think for a film that i believe tries to ground itself in reality and give the audience an insight into a real human life, this is particularly significant. because i think that’s what this film does, it pulls you very deliberately into a very ordinary life. AND the dancing and the dancing environment is also v v realistic which is something i appreciate as someone who did ballet for a long time !!

#okay that got long thank u for coming to my ted talk and also asking this question <333 #anon #a

Gay guys' fascinating mating rituals based on a movie And Then We Danced (2019)

To show your interest in another guy - be sure you invade his personal space often enough:

While to show your affection in return you may try the following:

throw him down

trip him up

drown him

steal from him

fool him

beat him

#human behavior is truly fascinating isn't it?#gay guys #and then we danced #atwd #და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ #merab x irakli #levan akin #levan gelbakhiani #bachi valishvili #georgian movie #gay movie #gay couple #a potem tańczyliśmy #(yeah I know Irakli fell all by himself without being thrown down but I it's funny nevertheless)#and then we danced gifset #atwd gifset #końskie zaloty
