#also POSSIBLY thinking abt trying to find a movie that shows war in a sickeningly romantic light & if i do decide to contrast the positive

i'm god's strongest soldier for what i'm thinking about doing tomorrow. i'm toying around with the concept of an essay (either a longass meta post or a proper vid essay if i can be bothered) about 1917 being an effective depiction of the horrors of war without being gritty due to brief moments of humanity and beauty despite destruction. to contrast this mastery, i might re-watch fury for the first time in a decade to point out where "realism" goes wrong. i cannot stress how gritty and edgy this movie is. to give you a vague idea of how bad it is, it's directed by the same guy who directed suicide squad 2016

#i have it on blu ray because i had no taste at 13 and thought logan lerman was hot. i watched it a year later disliked it and looking back #it was absolutely god awful. then i realized it's a david ayer movie so that tracks LMAOOOO #if i do end up watching it i think i'll take like 20 points of psychic damage but alas such is the duty of a critic! #also POSSIBLY thinking abt trying to find a movie that shows war in a sickeningly romantic light & if i do decide to contrast the positive #aspects with an overly positive film i'm thinking either pearl harbor or to.p gun #i've seen like a third of pearl harbor and hated it and i've never seen TG so i'm honestly tempted to not even use the overly positive war #movie contrast bit bc fucking hell. i do NOT wanna watch a bay movie or TG. i think i'll puke my guts out if i do #len speaks
