Maybe this is an appropriate place to post this. I couldn’t think of anywhere else besides maybe a spirituality type subreddit, but I felt like some people here might get where I’m coming from.

First off, I know I’m kinda late to the party when it comes to watching it. I heard about how good it was when it first came out, but I’m just now getting around to watching it.

Goddamn.

I think maybe it’s because I’m both going through a divorce and kinda feel like the daughter character in relation to my parents, but that entire movie hit me like a ton of bricks. I cried many times during it, and for a while after. For the first time in a while, though, it wasn’t necessarily… sad crying. My emotions have been sort of all over the place for the last few months, but despite everything that’s going on I feel grateful for what I have? (Not a feeling I’ve had very often, so it feels weird to feel it)

Like, for such an absurd movie (which of course is just mirroring the absurdity of life) I feel strangely comforted.

I kinda want to watch it again while tripping, although if I do that it may just be too chaotic and I might not get anything out of it. Who knows.

Anyway, this movie has affected me in such a strong but ineffable way that the only experience I have to compare it to would be my first time trying acid lol it just made me want to tell someone about it.

I’m just kinda hoping that this feeling sticks around for a while, since I had it soberly.

Anywho, is there anyone else who was affected this strongly by it or is that just me?😅
