Where Are We Now

If you’re wondering how time affected us, I can say it’s blurred the memories but I’m still haunted by my feelings every now and then. I ache, I long for, I reminisce... and I carry on. It’s a heavy thing to carry. The burdens of my regrets and wishes that never came true. I long to know myself better. For all of us.

300 Movies in 2020 (extending to 2021... yikes.)

*Ones I liked

Watched:

1. Parasite* -- this was a must-watch. 
2. The Marriage Story* -- an intimate look into the realities and heartaches of marriage and its eventual fall.
3. The Report* -- one of my favorite drama/political movies of last year. I mean, Adam Driver. 
4. Joker
5. Train to Busan* -- I'm awfully late to this one. But nonetheless, I get why it's a top box office. Almost an unbelievably five-star cast.
6. Okja
7. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
8. Hustlers
9. Frozen II
10. 6 Underground (Netflix)
11. Burning* -- definitely not for all tastes, but a slow burning plot through an art house lens. An incredibly captivating cast - with the exception of one (Yeun -- to be frank, I did not find his portrayal of his character too convincing).
12. The Farewell
13. Little Women
14. Ford v. Ferrari
15. Soul
16. Mirani* If you did not enjoy Yeun's performance in Burning, but want to give it another shot -- try Minari. A raw, inclusive lens into the Korean American's immigrant's story in the 80s. Not cliche, and has an appreciative dose of humor and wit.
