So very sexy
Back seat
Feet up
One fishnet stocking
Toes curled
Steamy windows
This is going on my bucket list
Yield to it!
As long as it doesnโt harm anyone else
โThe same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.โ
We should just let ourselves fall in love with life.
i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here
You'd think after watching Dead Poet Society three times and knowing almost all of the dialogue, I wouldn't cry watching it a fourth time. Daring of you to assume that, I literally cried for an hour...
sorry for not posting poetry, creativity well was dry
LEFTY
how Lucky I am to be left-handed
that if my lover and I sat side by side
our hands could meet in the center
as we once were before Zeus's cruel slash
my personal experience with DPS and other ramblings
my mother introduced me to the film when I was about 13 or so and I immediately latched onto it and made it part of my personality. i became an extremely pretentious high schooler and would unironically say shit about sucking the marrow out of life (and yes I am embarrassed about it now)
but when I was applying for colleges and I told my mom I wanted to be a theatre major she kinda lost her shit and told me that it was a stupid waste of time and money and i was absolutely GOING THROUGH IT
fast forward to now, I'm a junior in college (theatre major) and I watched DPS with my mom and my brother (his first time watching it) and I realized that my mom fundamentally misunderstood the point of the movie
I will never forget her telling me that she AGREED WITH NEIL'S DAD AND THAT KEATING WAS A DANGEROUS PERSON AND A BAD EDUCATOR
my brother who is into stem and is unappreciative of the arts anyway said that Neil was just kinda stupid and that the movie wasn't that good (????? major side eye on that one but whatever)
i just got so sad for little 17 year old me. she was incredibly sensitive and fragile and I just wonder had my mother been even just slightly harsher about me being a theatre major what would have happened to me?
then a few weeks ago I was talking to my friend. she's the type of person you don't have casual conversations with, you immediately dive into philosophy and morals and art and knowing each other's souls.
we got to the topic of dead poets society and the people who "just don't get it". the people who watch it once and never think about it again. the people who are so content that they are happy to remain stagnant. those who don't yearn for change, or to be known, to make art. those who are content to live and not
Live!!!!
and I'll never understand them and they'll never understand me. and the world will continue on like this. there will be people who stand still and those who can't stop moving
the Google drive full of my dps edits I'm saving (will be posting them for the people)
because dps and the tiktok ban have been consuming my thoughts
this is my favorite one btw and it had CRIMINALLY low likes
him and this song kill me btw but whatever
now have a sad one.....as a treat
Why should I watch dead poets society..?
It is a beautiful film both in terms of the visual storytelling and the actual writing and themes
It has romantic subplots but overall centers friendship
It speaks to the human experience as a whole but especially to artists, the sacrifices and pain that come with passion
Standout acting performance by Robert Sean Leonard both in the film itself and the play within it
It genuinely helped me want to live during a difficult time in my life and reminds me to KEEP living and to stick to my morals and passions despite convention and tradition
boys are evil and don't appreciate art
it's absolutely soul crushing to share a piece of media with someone who doesn't appreciate it. i often find it difficult to connect with my younger brother without having shared media to discuss. so I finally showed him my favorite movie, dead poets society of course, and his reaction was to call Neil stupid and say that the overall film was "ok, kinda funny sometimes". meanwhile I had cried twice and was shaking and sobbing.
it's ok. he's not an artist. it didn't move him the way it moved me and it doesn't have to. and yet I find myself disappointed and upset that he'll never want to "carpe diem" or suck the marrow out of life. that he'll never let out a barbaric yawp or be good REALLY good.
i dunno. just thoughts
Okay, at this serial i'm wathing, took bitch that Carpe Diem in other way. We know it as cute, kind, Dead poets society, lovely thing. But this bitch? He killed people, not because of that Carpe Diem, but he said that when he was about to shoot main charakter and brother of his love. He killed about four people at all. Fuck you, Benoni. Fuck you for killing Lรฉblovi.
Life may have exhausted me, but I haven't exhausted life yet.
