"If everyone lives in the world differently, every death is the end of the world." Quite unfair how many terrible ways there are to live—and to die. You totally blindsided me with such an honest, introspective (and relatable) post. The end of the world always lives in the back of my mind. Lovely. (p.s. adding the sacrifice to my watchlist)
Thank you my friend. It’s been a tough time. I could have written more about this but I wrote most of this on Easter and I have been thinking about giving as a kind of faith practice or prayer that sees others/the world as divine. Much to think about, but not too hard 😮💨
Weirdly enough I had a similar experience with an edible (only it was the Gerard Butler movie Plane). I think a lot about how Bazin’s whole career was really just him trying to reconcile with death. And maybe all artistic endeavors in general are really about the inevitability of it all. This was such a pleasure to read <3
🥹 Thank you Anjali. I think you’re right about Bazin and I think it’s natural and wonderful to put your own fears into your work, which maybe for scholars is less accessible than for filmmakers. We all do it for the love don’t we!

The world as divine; I've been on the same train of thought :)
