Favorite Movies I Watched in 2023
Mona Lisa Smile (2003, dir. Mike Newell)
"But not all who wander are aimless, especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image."
Barbie (2023, dir. Greta Gerwig)
"We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they have come."
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022, dir. James Cameron)
"The way of water has no beginning and no end. The sea is around you and in you. The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death. Our hearts beat in the womb of the world. Our breath burns in the shadows of the deep. The sea gives and the sea takes. Water connects all things, life to death, darkness to light."
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023, dir. Sam Wrench)
"It's been a long time coming."
No Hard Feelings (2023, dir. Gene Stupnitsky)
*Andrew Barth Feldman belting Maneater by Hall & Oates*
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023, dir. Francis Lawrence)
"What happened in there? That's humanity undressed. Filled with the terror of becoming prey. See how quickly we become predator? See how quickly civilization disappears?... I was talking about you. Oh your fine manners, education, background, stripped away in the blink of an eye. Leaving a boy with a club who beats another boy to death to stay alive."
Saltburn (2023, dir. Emerald Fennell)
"I don't think you're a spider, you're a moth. Quiet, harmless, drawn to shiny things, banging up against a window, and begging to get it."
Anyone But You (2023, dir. Will Gluck)
"Trust me, bro. We're all in 7th grade when it comes to this BS."
