The Movie (and TV show) Watching Thread

[Farmlands]

Had a great time with the Fall of the House of Usher. I'm pretty disinclined to anything supernatural horror related, but the trailers and word of mouth looked promising, so I gave it a try.

Stellar cast of actors, didn't feel needlessly violent, and each episode's shock ending was balanced nicely by the calmer, poignant moments throughout, would reccomend if you're alright with a few of the darker scenes.

Got reccomended this Youtube video with a still of a woman on a balcony at night illuminated by fireworks. Many people in the comments were talking about how beautiful and depressing the movie in question, A Silent Voice was. Since psychological drama is my favorite genre, I watched it.

Despite more relevance in recent years, I don't think too many media openly deals with the subject of depression/suicide, and if they do, it's not in a realistic manner, so it was a new experience for me. I'm glad I watched it, it's beautifully animated and the situations presented real.

One of those great surprises that I had no idea about beforehand, and glad I know of now. If nothing more, I think the theme of hitting rock bottom and slowly, but steadily turning yourself back around is a very powerful one.
