who will survive and what will be left of them (2003) is such a wild album like...yes the devil brings all this horror and destruction to the town but like, the evil was there before him. He gets shot in a gun duel by the protagonist and when the businessmen find out that he bleeds oil they let him bleed out for the sake of their own personal profit. The imagery of they surrounding his deathbed with buckets for collecting oil is something i think about so so often. 
and upon hearing that the devil has survived despite the greed and anger of the town, the protagonist walks all the way back to the town “ninety days of sweat and dirt” while he “drinks whiskey instead of water” and the whole time he knows what he will have to face, knows that its his own fault for shooting the devil, knows that he will likely be unable to stop was has already started happening to the town
as we see what the devil has brought to the townspeople, his human appearance is so important. he is a man like the rest of them, and his own evil is, like i said earlier, equally present in the town. everything becomes so hopeless, and then we just get this lovely little instrumental intermission?? (which is super underrated btw) before returning to see the protagonist preparing for a second face off (the reference to roulette is so???) (sorry this is a rly messy infodump) and then there’s the trick where a few townspeople sacrifice themselves in hopes of luring the devil to the flames but they just burn away themselves, and some take their attempts at redemption (out of selfishness from knowing they’ll have a better chance at survival, because how dare any of these characters be genuinely good people), and the little church as a last ditch attempt at keeping hope, but they all know what’s coming. they all know this is the end
so they wait
pillars of salt is obviously my favorite track from this album, seeing as i got my username (and actual name i guess) from it, but i don’t got much to say ab it today other than that it’s one of the most beautifully devastating songs i know
end of the line is nearly 10 minutes long and every second is worth it. we never see what exactly becomes of the rest of the town or the protagonist, but they head into battle headfirst and determined, despite their poor chances of winning. this is the end, sure, but they are stronger now.

DR:ASLH AMA (10/21/2020)
so today i decided to sit down and answer a whole bunch of questions on discord!
this DOES contain spoilers up through the end of ch5, just a warning! if you’re on mobile i’m so sorry.
Who is your favorite character?
THAT IS THE MEANEST QUESTION YOU COULD EVER ASK DID YOU KNOW THIS. This varies a lot depending on the day but usually... tied Chiyo/Tatsumaru. I love them both so much. I think Ryouji's my favorite to write, though. If ASLH were someone else's story, I think my favorite would undeniably be Chiyo, because I'm nearly always biased towards protagonists.
What’s been the most enjoyable part of the story process? Why?
Honestly? Getting to see how people react to it. It's the validation luv. Maybe it's selfish, but I really do like seeing how people are affected by my work LOL.
who is on what side of the pineapple on pizza discourse?
Likes it: Amal, Kanemori, Claude, Aster Neutral: Tristan, Tatsumaru, Sentarou Hates it: Ryouji, Chiyo, Ririka, Brendan Doesn't like pizza: Tiana, Hirono, Alexei, Tsukino, Iris Ryouji, Chiyo, and Ririka make fun of Amal.
For the trials of aslh, which trial has been your favorite so far? In terms of planning the case itself, plot beats, character developments, anything really. But which one still makes you lose it when you think about it.
That's a tough one, I don't like writing trials. I liked the structure of ch3, though. The way that the trial stops being "who killed Amal" and instead becomes "who is Aster". The Tatsu POV. The story title drop. And the way the execution just wrecks everything, immediately? Yeah, vibes.
I also feel like ch4's trial deserves a special mention because of how I wrote it while I was sick with the flu, and yet if you ask me that was still probably the most emotionally intense trial- wait I forgot ch2- and ch5- y'know what, forget it. At least it's on par!
If you could change anything about aslh on any level, what would it be & why?
In general, I think it needed more planning. I'm a very on-the-fly planner and writer, but there were a lot of unknowns I didn't consider until late-game that made it hard to bring up and resolve cleanly. It could also probably have used a little bit more clarity with regards to the lore - things like "how does the memory replacement work" weren't decided until super late in the project. I didn't have a backstory for Tatsu until I wrote ch2 or ch3, so before that point their scars were much less extensive and I think they were cut-shaped instead of burns? That was kind of important for at least continuity's sake, and it irks me.
Also, Hirono deserved better. I didn't plan out her arc as extensively as the others (she was, pre-story, the last survivor to be locked and she had traded with Kanemori), so she sort of stagnated in the story. Which wasn't a bad thing, because not everyone's going to get shoved off a balcony or watch their friend get shot, but it kind of sucks that the most "defining" moment she had was that Ririka and Iris died, neither of which she actually witnessed, or the name confession in ch4 trial which kind of got brushed over. Like all the rest of the survivors have Big Defining Moments, except her.
To be honest, ASLH is the first huge writing project I've ever completed, so there's a lot of things I could have done better. But it was also the first huge writing project I've ever completed, so I'm cutting myself some slack there.
What's your philosophy, or even your strategy when it comes to character design? What do you go for first or emphasize, where do you think you could experiment more?
Most of my designs are based around a core "ooh I want to try this thing". Sometimes I take character inspirations, sometimes it's a cool garment, sometimes I'm just redesigning characters. I mostly emphasize clothing, patterns, and colors, but I also reuse a lot of the same clothing styles and patterns. I could definitely experiment more with shape language and silhouette - usually, that's like the last thing I think about, but one of the more important things to have in an ensemble cast. Mostly, though, I just like drawing clothes.
What do you think is the crowning moment of aslh? Like if someone asked you what would be a moment that gets to the heart of the story the most. What would it be?
DEFINITELY the ch5 execution. Like, the emotional resonance? The narration shift? The drama of it all? Peak ASLHcore.
what factored most into your decision-making progress? why did you decide this death order and this mastermind(s)?
My decision making process is entirely me sitting in a fugue state mumbling out details that I need to fix and then sporadically sitting bolt upright and screaming a parallel or tangent I've pieced together.
The mastermind question is easier to put together - I'd always had in mind that this was going to be a revenge game, and that one mastermind was so difficult to take seriously it wasn't even funny and that the other decided to bail halfway through. So I built the characters around that. The points I usually pay attention to with fangan planning (these days) are: ch1 is to establish the status quo and tone of the story, ch3 is to overturn the status quo, and ch5 forces ch6 to happen. So the ch3 case revolved around Sen dying, and then I was like "how can I fuck up the status quo more" and killed Amal and Aster too.
The biggest factor in my decision making process is "what would be really cool". I tend to make a lot of decisions that fuck up the structure of what a fangan "should" be because I think it goes hard as hell when we throw out rules that the characters are unaware of anyway.
was there a draft of aslh that looks drastically different from what we ended up with?
Great question, and fuck you for reminding me!
ASLH actually started as a bullet point fangan called What Tempestuous Despair. It was a much more international cast until I was like "fangans are supposed to be mostly Japanese casts!" and changed a bunch of characters' nationalities, which in hindsight was dumb. Ririka, Kanemori, Tsukino, and Iris were victims of this. Also Amal was the protagonist and I am SO GLAD that didn't stick they are SO DIFFICULT to write the POV from.
I've spoken on a few occasions about how the cast itself changed, and I never got around to plotting out arcs (other than "Amal learns to trust people and allows themself to truly grieve Rin after holding everyone at length for so long"), but some assorted things:
The cast had a bunch of characters who were swapped out. Included in this tally are Rin Matsumoto (whose personality was recycled into Hisaichi, Ryouji's cousin, and their name was recycled into Shuichi's school friend), Leon Mercury Kahahawai (who’s in CYAH), Haywire Asturias, Puck Ganka (who’s also in CYAH), a few characters/designs who I ended up giving away... And also Hayato Kikuchi.
Iris was always a killer, because I really wanted her to have a downfall-that-wasn't-a-downfall-but-rather-a-reflection-of-the-true-self arc. This was always a lategame case so I'd have time to establish her as terrible. Originally, she killed Leon.
Tiana was also always a killer. I think he killed Hayato via electrocution, so as you can tell that's always been around in some form or another.
(Tristan killing Chiyo in ch5 in the current version, btw, was specifically to mirror Tiana's murder. While Tiana killed to get themself out of the KG, Tristan killed to get everyone else out.)
who was considered for mastermind throughout making aslh? what would their reasons have been?
The masterminds have never changed, except that the characters for them didn't exist back in WTD. But the personalities of the characters they replaced were about 1:1 anyway, so yeah basically they've never changed.
what is one thing you really loved about the beta and what is one thing you really hated about the beta
One thing I really loved about the beta was the ch3 case (which I've spoken about at length before), but other than that... honestly Tiana? Tiana's the one character that I had fully developed as of WTD, they just sprung into my head completely materialized. Their entire personality and design somehow stayed the same since conceptualization.
One thing I really hated? I would say "all of it", but specifically, we don't talk about white Tristan. That was so bad. I was trying so hard to design him so that he'd look nonthreatening and I was like "why is this so hard" and then I changed his ethnicity and I was like "oh right, white gamer boy characters just have cursed energies" and moved on with my life.
what would be an ideal day for tiana murdock. what would make them happy.
An ideal day is honestly one where they get a lot done. They're not one to relax or know what to do with free time, but they get a lot of satisfaction out of being productive, so if they manage to finish a lot of work and not end up exhausted? They're happy. They've probably gotta work on learning to enjoy their free time. They do like traveling, though, and- oh my god I should make them friends with Tsukino.
What would the cast's careers be if they lived to be adults?
Chiyo: Elementary school teacher and scifi author! Really wish I'd leaned more into the fact that she loves scifi, honestly. Amal: Journalist, probably, except they'd actually take classes in it this time instead of just writing op-eds constantly Tatsumaru: LIBRARIAN TATSU TRUE ENDING!!! Sentarou: Freelance pianist/composer. I have this whole headverse where he and Alexei are somehow friends with Claude, and together they plot to kill Enji Sekisada. Or Claude and Alexei plot to kill Enji and Sen sits there with his head in his hands. Iris: In universes where she's able to reconcile with academia, she works in ecology + chemistry. In universes where she doesn't, she's a florist. Aster: SERIOUSLY depends on the AU because every time I try to put Aster in a normal AU they're different. Jokes about becoming a flight attendant to travel with Tsukino. Claude: Secretary. No, seriously. May have something to do with killing Enji Sekisada. Hirono: Photojournalist! Photography reminds her of Ekuko. :') Alexei: Veterinary assistant for a specialized bird clinic Tsukino: Pilot, obviously Brendan: Mechanical engineer but sometime around age 30 has enough stress to just quit and become a college professor instead. Tiana: Museum docent, he's coworkers with Laurent Sinclair thanks Ryouji: He's... not sure. In normal AUs does take up food service for a while before getting uncomfortable with his family and quitting. In ASLH canon, he skips this step and goes into law with the intent of helping other killing game survivors sort out their lives. Tristan: Web designer, still makes a few games on the side with his friends. Mostly point and clicks because he ain't about this life Kanemori: Volleyball coach, because he knows a lot more about that than soccer honestly
what part of aslh was the hardest to write?
Deadly life. Always. I can crank the chapters out really fast, but I hate the case part of fangans and they're painful to plan.
For each case, what is your out of universe reason for wanting each person to die when? Like not counting the motives or anything, but why you wanted each person to die then?
- Brendan: He was the OC I had the longest. He had to die. Goodbye you little shit. - Kanemori: He was actually a survivor originally, and Hirono was the ch1 killer for the same "OC longevity" reason but then I realized I don't have anything for Kanemori to do. So... Sorry dude.
- Claude: Y'all ever notice how no one... EVER... puts plot relevant information in ch2s? Anyway. - Tiana: As discussed, they've always been a killer. Putting them as a killer here was a good balance - far enough from ch1 to build up their relationship with Tristan, but also not so far into the story that it conflicts with the general endgame fall-apart-ness.
- Amal, Sentarou, Aster: This case sprung into my head entirely materialized. Like, this was the one that BUILT the story, so it didn't change much. Mostly I just thought it'd be narratively fun to kill off the deuteragonist, the mastermind, AND the ??? in one go. I didn't plan for Chiyal to be a thing so when that became a thing this chapter got better/worse.
- Iris: I always wanted her to be a killer to really expose that "she's not a good person" stuff (she was more of a snake in WTD), but she didn't become a victim until when I was actually writing. She was supposed to have a trial and then I got sick of writing her. Whoops. - Ririka: I had arc ideas for everyone else, and it could have gone either way between Ryouji and Ririka getting that "close to my best friend who is now dead"... in the end it went down to gender balance in survivors. At the time it was Ryouji or Ririka + Kanemori + Tsukino + Tatsumaru, but then once Kanemori got swapped to Hirono just... yeahhh Ririka got stuck in ch4. Sorry. - Alexei: Special shoutout, he was supposed to die in ch4 as just an "oh no this is what happened, how sad" but then it was super narratively unsatisfying and now he's alive.
- Chiyo: For the sake of pain. But like, poignant, meaningful pain. I don't believe in making plot decisions just because they hurt, they've also got to mean something. Considering that a major theme of the story is "death before its time is a complete tragedy", and Chiyo's motifs include death... uh. Yeah... yeah. When it came time to ask myself who'd die in ch5 for this motive, well. I miss Chiyo. - Tristan: Meant to mirror Tiana's killing in ch2, as stated above, had the "selfish kill vs selfless kill" thing. Look if you're going to have a duo in a fangan and don't get to make cool dichotomy/theming what's the POINT. Ended up surviving because when there were only four survivors, there were... really no stakes for the ch6 trial.
- Tatsumaru: I just wanted them to be alive. I didn't know WHY, exactly... I just knew I needed them to live. So. I guess they're alive? Also I thought it'd be really interesting to have a killer protagonist, and a remorseful killer protagonist. - Ryouji: To be honest I didn't have a solid arc for him, aside from Ririka's death I'd decided I was going to figure it out as I went. And I guess I did? I love him. And not gonna lie, since Tatsu became the protagonist and Ryouji's still pissed at them, the perspective/dynamic became VERY INTERESTING. - Tsukino: Originally in beta!ASLH, her schtick was "gilded exterior with a heart of jerk with a hidden, smaller heart of gold" but that didn't transfer over to ASLH itself. Then when I realized "oh shit Tsukino wants to be a hero" it was all over. At first her arc was very "tone yourself down and stop rushing into things" which wasn't... ideal, I think you can still be enthusiastic and upbeat while being mindful and that was not how I had gone about it lol. Fun fact, Tsukino's survived every draft of ASLH, including the beta one - I think she and Amal were closer friends in that. - Hirono: See Kanemori, I just thought she had more survivor potential than him. The problem was that by the time I made the decision to swap them, everyone else was sort of locked by necessity, so Hirono became a survivor by default. Again, I didn't quite have an idea of what she was going to do other than get leeched off of by Iris. Ririka wasn't even part of it, we just had that cooking thing in 2-3 and Ririka was like "this is my problem now" and I was like "what?" so now we're here.
What's everyone's coffee/tea/other preferences?
Coffee: Tiana, Tristan, Brendan Tea: RYOUJI, Tatsumaru, Chiyo, Iris Hot chocolate: Claude, Sentarou Soda: Amal, Ririka Soda but only fruit flavored: Tsukino Water, thanks: Aster, Kanemori, Hirono, Alexei
What was the hardest decision to make, writing wise, for aslh? Like you wanted the story to go one way, but you couldn't force it, or a scene you felt you needed but was difficult to decide upon, anything like that?
Hm... okay see the thing is I'm generally pretty good at writing on the fly so if I make decisions I CAN force them to happen, so there's really not too much that comes to mind. Mostly this happens with trials - I make outlines for my trials and drag my cast along with it. Except they tend to go off-topic, and then I have to drag them back on topic. And sometimes the points don't make sense when you go out of order so I have to ad lib stuff. Ch4 trial was the most off-script one, it was supposed to be a lot slower and made more sense but then the cast just went out of order and I was bonking my head against the wall trying to get it to make sense.
The only real thing I had consistent difficulty with is locations. I did not fucking plan any of this shit and hate making maps so much- oh my god I need to do the ch6 map still.
who would deliberately salt their coffee and who would accidentally do it
Deliberately: Tristan, Tiana, Tsukino, Hirono Accidentally: Kanemori, Amal, Sentarou, Chiyo, Brendan, Iris "Why?": Claude, Alexei, Aster, Tatsumaru, Ryouji, Ririka

so happy for you that you got to see cmbyn! do you have anything else to share about it?? anything or everything haha :)
thank you!!! i’m from spain and the release date has been pushed until february (which i’m sure is a crime and violates human rights in so many levels) so i don’t know what i would’ve done if i had to wait that long!!
some thoughts under the cut! beware of little spoilers!
what can i say about the movie that hasn’t been yet said? you all know about timmy’s perfect performance (he probably created a new kind of performance, the perfect-mance), and armie’s accurate approach to a character whose thoughts aren’t as explicit as elio’s in the novel (so it wasn’t an easy task, but he succeeded), and luca’s wonderful touch to all of it. the sole idea of this movie being in the making for so long (as it’s been said in interviews), and therefore the chance of somebody else directing it, terrifies me. i can’t believe we (the world) were lucky enough to get the best adaptation possible, considering luca wasn’t the first choice; he wasn’t even a choice at the very beginning, so yeah. i can assure you that, even though i obviously haven’t seen any other adaptations of this novel and hopefully i never will because if somebody ever decides to remake this i’m going to be so mad i’ll walk out of my grave if needed. as an audiovisual communication student, a spectator and a fan of the novel, the film is a 10. it’s impossible to be disappointed. IMO, if you are disappointed it will be because you wanted to be disappointed.
half an hour before the screening i was literally shaking. (i tend to overreact a lot but trust me, this time i’m serious) i was so nervous, which is crazy considering i wasn’t headed to do anything. all i was going to do was see a movie, ffs. when the movie ended, there was applauding. i looked around as i cried, and people were acting normal (the audacity?). i had cried twice during the movie (a couple scenes towards the end of it), but after it ended, i needed to cry more. and i was surrounded by people who didn’t seem affected at all. it just amazes me how the “same” experience can be an absolute different experience to each person. nobody in the room could possibly imagine the things i was feeling inside. still today, 12 days later, i haven’t cried as much as i would’ve liked.
if you love the book, you will love the movie. some scenes are different, some scenes are new. luca takes his time to introduce the characters (and the scenery, which, in luca’s filmography, becomes a character itself) - and when i say he takes his time i mean he really takes his time. the first half of the movie consists on following elio around. everyone else is there, oliver included, but. elio is the absolute core.
we have elio-from-the-novel who we know everything about. and reading/writing a book is a complete different process than watching/making a film. you can’t judge or analyze them the same way: the same elements are built differently-they have to be built differently. and yet, somehow, elio-from-the-novel is elio-from-the-film, which is the reason why i cried for the longest i’ve cried ever. and just to be clear: i cry a lot. movies make me emotional. but i wasn’t crying because call me by your name has these touching scenes that are supposed to make you emotional, and i wasn’t crying because the ending was sad, or whatever. the thing is, i couldn’t stop thinking: my elio. my elio. my elio. my elio. my elio was there, that was him, that’s his face and his manners and his feelings and his skin. my favorite type of books are the ones with stories told in first person, where the narrator is the protagonist, so it was inevitable that elio’s way of opening up to the reader, so raw, so pure, would stick with me forever.
as good as armie’s work is, and it is, and the chemistry is brutal (you are going to love the lovemaking scene!! so!! much!!!!), this is timothée’s movie. (btw we need more movies about young people. yesterday i read in variety that timmy could be the youngest actor to get an oscar nomination since 1939. what kind of nonsense is that?) if timmy only knew how much it means to me what he did, and how much i worship him (do i like you, timmy? i worship you) because he LITERALLY brought elio to life, well, i’d probably scare the shit outta him. it’s fine. i’m just glad i got to exist at the same time as him. no big deal.
and idk, here some other things:
i know it’s too late for me to advise you to not seek spoilers. you’ve probably already seen photos of the first kiss. but, luckily for you: this movie is like nothing you’ve ever seen before and it’s way better than what you can imagine without having seen it. the famous last shot? better than what you could ever imagine. the last part of the movie, which is different from the novel? better than what you’re thinking. eat as many spoilers as you want! it’ll still be better than you thought.
i don’t want to overhype it but i s2g it’s just so good
try watching something else by luca before!! it’s really worth it!! try a bigger splash, for instance
if you haven’t read the book, YOU HAVE TO. it’s not that the movie needs the book in order to be complete. if you watch the movie without having read the book, you’ll love it. if you watch it after having read the book (and loved it because let’s be real how can you read cmbyn and not love it? impossible), you’ll have the whole experience, a deluxe package that contains happiness, sweet pain, clear skin and faith in humanity
the movie is not sad. the novel is about the passing of time!! and about living in the moment but at the same time feeling the inevitable weight of the future!! and about how love always finds a way to be an essential part of everybody’s personal growth!! and elio is forming his identity!! and the movie is just the same!!
elio is so affectionate with his parents and mafalda and it’s the cutest thing ever
marzia is PRECIOUS
mr. perlman’s speech at the end is the same as in the novel so prepare your tears
IMO Judaism is more present in the movie than in the novel !!!!
there is a specific moment in which... we are left alone with oliver... i won’t say anything else but... beware of genius cinema
the camerawork will leave you breathless
the scene with the soldiers memorial is my favorite. it’s a sequence shot with them walking around the memorial and talking and meeting on the other side....... “you know what things...” goodbye
idk what else to say i don’t want to give away any more details??? if you want me to say something else just ask me and i’ll think of more stuff? and be more specific? i’d love to force myself to remember the movie since i feel it slipping away every second that passes and i ache for a rewatch.
i don’t know how i wrote such a long text i’m so, so sorry. i hope it’s kind of what you wanted haha x

films 2019
 1. bird box (susanne bier, 2018)
my mum wanted to watch this film with me, but i didnt feel like watching it at the first time. finally we watched it together the other day on netflix. its not an amazing film, but its actually very entertaining, and i really enjoyed it, although there are some parts where my anxiety showed up. also i had to say the plot has some holes, so at this point i think they shoud have worked more on that. the best thing is that it lasts two hours but it seems like one hour.
(sorry for my mistakes, i havent written in english for a long time)
6/10
2. roma (alfonso cuarón, 2018)
it’s hard for me at first starting a film, and i didnt find the moment to watch it but i really wanted. today i didnt know what to do with my life. it was the moment. i really liked this film for a lot of reasons, maybe the main one is the representation it gives of how life was in Mexico in 1970, and how it was for women and poor people. 
the main character’s acting is amazing, although they dont talk a lot, you just see what happens without the people saying anything. the photography is so realistic but at the same time is elegant and delicate, plus it is in black and white. maybe the plot is a little slow in the first hour basically because of how the scenes are shot. and i have loved the plot, the children and the women.
8/10
3. the favourite (yorgos lanthimos, 2019)
I LOVED THIS FILM. omg i didnt expect i was going to like it like that but i really do (im sorry i just realize i say ‘’really’’ a lot and im really sorry). i went to the cinema with some friends, and the only one that liked the film was me. the other people were like: “i didnt understand the meaning...”, “what a waste of time”, “it was just entertaining”, etc. but you know what, you dont actually have to look for a meaning, i mean, it is what it is. and it’s MARVELOUS. 
to be honest i dont know who i would rather to crush my head, if rachel weisz or emma stone (obviously i have to mention olivia colman’s interpretation). i guess i would probably say rachel weisz because what an interpretation and because she is gorgeous? as well as emma stone, her character is remarkable. all of them are. that’s the best thing about it: the main characters are women, and men only appear in five scenes or so and less than five minutes. the important character are women, and very powerful women, smart, brave, and algo a little silly like the queen. it’s so realistic.
plus the setting is awesome. it shows how women were treated: like shit, like nothing. they didn’t care about women at all. they hit them, rape them, and it is shown how normal it was. also is very ironic and hilarious, i mean, it’s funny but not because it’s a comedy; it’s made for you to laugh at some parts. the plot is very well treated too. i didn’t get bored and it lasts two hours.
i have tried to organize my thoughts, but it doesnt seem very organized i guess. the thing is: everyone has to watch this film n o w.
9/10
4. her (spike jonze, 2013)
i have wanted to watch this movie for a long time, but i guess i just didn’t find the moment or i didn’t feel like watching it. finally i did.
the idea of falling in love with a machine was something i didn’t know how they were going to treat it. it’s very original i guess because not every day you see someone falling in love with a machine. at first i was like wtf i am going to watch. but i liked it a lot. 
probably what i liked the most is the photography. it tells you the story of theodore and katherine but with flashbacks, and those scenes are so lovely and beautiful. also the quotes are amazing and very deep (and very true). i love how the plot is taken: the developmente of theodore’s love towards samantha is slow but deep and realistic. i swear i almost felt like the one that was falling in love with her was me and not him. 
this is a very nice film and i recommend everyone to watch it.
8/10
5. the grave of the fireflies (isao takahata, 1988)
i didn’t want to watch this film because i didn’t want to suffer. it was horrible, not the film, but the feeling. it is a sad story that shows the worst part of the war. i have to say i thought it was going to be worse, i didn’t even cry. 
6,5/10
[6. the chorus (christophe barratier, 2004)] - los chicos del coro
one of my favourite films ever.
9/10
7. on the basis of sex (mimi leder, 2018)
at first i didn’t expect anything to be honest, but it wasn’t that dissapointing. i thought it was going to be worse, focusing more on liberal feminism. the idea and the intention were good but the result... mmm let me tell you it isn’t.
if the plot was focused on how the protagonist became a lawyer, since the first moment she got in harvard, it would have been a better film. instead it focuses on a case that it’s like wtf????
the message is good, and that’s important, but it could have been better. and this sucks because i dont know anymore how to express myself in english or i dont know.
8. manchester by the sea (kenneth lodergan, 2016)
my cousin recommended me this film because i wanted to cry and she said she cried a lot because of this film at the end.
the story is sad, really sad, and very pessimistic. i dont think there is anything good in this film. it’s so cold? how the plot, the characters interact with each other, is cold. i don’t know. anyway, i really liked it.
7/10
9. billy elliot (stephen daldry, 2000)
if i think about it im still crying. it was so moving, i loved it. i’ve cried a lot and how can you not? mira estoy cansada voy a escribir en español. no me esperaba que me fuese a gustar tanto pero se me rompió el corazón de lo bonita que es y del sentimiento que te deja nada más acabar. casi da ganas de vivir. en serio todo el mundo debería verla. además me alegro mucho de no haber nacido en los años 80 la verdad. 
8/10
10. your name (makoto shinkai, 2016)
netflix la calificaba como “lacrimógena��. bueno. se me cayó alguna lágrima y no fue precisamente en el final. aún así, muy bonita, con unos dibujos preciosos y muy realistas. me ha gustado mucho y acaba bien la historia.
(al final voy a hablar menos en español que en inglés)

11. little miss sunshine (valerie faris, jonathan dayton; 2006)
the first time i saw this film was in second of ESO when i was 13 i think? i loved it but i didn’t remember almost anything. i was afraid to watching it again knowing i may not like it in the same way. i didn’t like it as it was the first time watching it but i enjoyed it.
6,5/10
12. mamma mia! (phyllida lloyd, 2008)
quisiera poner algo más que “me ha gustado” o “no me ha gustado ha sido una mierda” pero es que de verdad no sé.
sé que es un clásico y he tardado unos cuantos años en verla. no sabía qué esperar pero partía de que a todo el mundo le gusta esta peli así que iba más o menos tranquila. me ha gustado bastante, se pasa rápido el tiempo viéndola aunque todavía siga sin saber quién es el padre.
por cierto encoñada me hallo de amanda seyfried.
7,5/10
13. bridget jones’s diary (sharon maguire, 2001)
tengo una amiga que describe esta película como orgullo y prejuicio pero en el siglo xxi. la verdad es que is kinda like that.
pensé que me iba a reír más y que me gustaría más, la verdad. pero aun así me ha gustado, me ha divertido y entretenido aunque hay escenas para mí algo más flojas que otras. ha estado bien.
6,5/10
[14. juno (jason reitman, 2007)]
i can’t explain how much i love this film, and i dont even know why. it just kinda happened. probably my favourite film? i know the plot isn’t something extraordinary either the photography. i know it isn’t a winning oscar film, but do you think i care? i don’t. it’s special for me, and even i know it isn’t that good, it’s a really good film, and i love it omg. i also love ellen page please marry me.
btw i always cry at the end, i mean, how can you not?

15. aladdin (guy ritchie, 2019)
i usually dont like this type of films, but the truth is i actually enjoy it.
6/10
16. el autor (manuel martín cuenca, 2017)
la verdad es que me ha gustado bastante, es entretenida y no muy larga, realmente lo único que quieres es saber cómo acaba, así que eso está guay. los personajes dejan mucho que desear, pero tampoco están tan mal.
7/10
17. coco (lee unkrich, adrián molina; 2017)
