I haven’t watched any movies that make you think lately. I’ve gotten a lot of recommendations, but I haven’t made much progress. It’s been almost ten days since I talked about movies. So, I picked three good ones to share (you might like them, or you might not). These movies are from different languages and aren’t recent releases, but I watched them recently.
#8 AM Metro
This is a Hindi movie from India. I think we’ve all met people who come into our lives unexpectedly, do something good for us, and then either stay or leave. It’s hard to put labels on those relationships. Maybe this movie taught me that not all relationships need labels. From society’s perspective, it might seem like infidelity, but if you see it from the male lead’s view, it’s about hope for survival, and for her, it helped her rediscover her love for poetry. I highly recommend watching it
#Tune in for love
This is a Korean movie about people trying to live a decent life and move on from their past. The male lead has just been released from prison on probation for pushing his friend off a building (which he didn’t). He starts working at a bakery, where he meets the female lead, who is struggling to run the place. Fate is so complicated that they barely get to meet. I liked a few moments in the movie, especially when he captures life’s rare moments. I won’t say much more, but sometimes, life is just about trust and having someone to rely on.
#Turtles all the way down
This is an American movie that I chose to watch because of its title. It’s about a female lead who wants to be a good daughter, friend, and student but can’t stop obsessing thoughts of bacteria. Disclaimer: if you have OCD, you might want to skip this one. The movie is about how she navigates life with these struggles. There isn’t much of a story, but the script, questions raised, conversations, and science make you think. The idea of ‘turtles all the way down’ is explained well, and I think scenes from Young Sheldon fit this idea perfectly.

#Drawing closer
This is a Japanese movie (not anime) about two young people who are both diagnosed with cancer and share a passion for drawing. They find hope to live longer and endure the pain by being there for each other. The movie touches on relationships, desires, pain, and dreams. It might even make you fall in love with gerbera flower
Apart from these, I’d recommend Purple Hearts and The Hating Game for binge-watching. Once I watch Inside Out 2, I’ll come up with another post.
Cheers
PS: FI is based on Drawing Closer. If I missed anything, I’ll add it in later.
