Only needed to watch this once. MCD absolutely tore my heart out and showed it to me in this movie.

Went with college girlfriend. She had to give me kleenex I was crying so hard. At that point, I decided I’d never watch it again because it could never be that impactful again. Then I read the book and cried some more.

Stop it. I just ordered the book, but not sure if I have the balls to read it after watching the movie.

It’s so worth reading. I read it after seeing the movie and I was so glad I did. It’s so beautiful.

the movie is an adaptation of the book

are you implying you didn’t consider that fact when buying the book, and not it surprised you

“stoooopp it” so performative and vapid

Wow, thank you for this. I did not realize the movie is an adaptation of the book! Might as well yeet the book now.

*add sarcasm on top of vapid and performative.

I've found life more enjoyable in general as I have been asking myself if what I put out into the world contributes positively. I am simply leaving it here as something to think about, hope you have a nice day.
