  • Dwell On The Beauty Of Life (short)

    “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. Think constantly on the changes of the elements into each other, for such thoughts wash away the dust of earthly life.” - Marcus Aurelius

  • "You Look Lonely..." (short)

    "You look lonely, I can fix that" we've all seen this scene. But the importance of it, the removal of the bandage symbolises the protective walls coming down, the revealing of the scars and the pain. Joe has lost Joi, he is not human because the memories were not his and so, he finally knows loss. And in this feeling, Joe becomes more than what he was made for.

  • Columbus | Modernism With A Soul

    This episode was chosen by a YouTuber. If there is a film you wish for me to analyse, let me know!



    Columbus presents what it would feel like to represent one's own feelings and memories in a physical form, like a building. When we choose to go places that remind us of feelings or memories, we strive for something that has meaning only to us. We sit in it's awe, in it's silence and float in its substance. We take a breath, and we pause, soaking in the atmosphere, the sites, the sounds, and let the mind

    wander to where it is that connects us to that place for all time.
    It's very personal, but also very impersonal in the way that people find the modernist buildings presented in the film as a whole, its history, it's substance, on a detached level. Here, in this story, we delve deeper in two opposing characters. One that attaches her feelings and memories to places not being able to let go, and another whom does not, and thus, struggles to attach his feelings about his father to his own through his father's work.

  • "To Be Or Not To Be" (short)

    "To be, or not to be, that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
    And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
    No more; and by a sleep to say we end
    The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
    That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
    To sleep, perchance to dream..."

  • Only Lovers Left Alive - Quintessence of Dust

    Vampires have always been a fascination of mine, but more so with their thoughts and feeling rather than the transformation or the blood lust.

    Only Lovers Left Alive invokes the feeling of Interview With The Vampire, with much less about the sparkling and questionable love triangle (like Twilight), and more about the quintessential emphasis on how they simply live. The characters, Adam and Eve, show us through intellectual thoughts and feelings how less is more, how loss can

    still hold true for someone who has experienced all of their lives and how morality can sometimes have to be placed on pause for the sake of survival.

  • Blade Runner - The Meaning Of Joi (short)

    In Blade Runner 2049, I have wondered why Joi is featured in the storyline, only for her to be killed later on. A theory can be that the inclusion of Joi with Joe explores the concept of love versus mortality. Even though Joe is not human, sometimes we forget this. This might be because love exists so strongly and constantly for humans because of the knowledge of inevitable death. The want to be loved is ever present and this is the same for Joe.

  • Into The Wild Poetry (short)

    "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;

    There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
    There is society,
    where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea,
    and music in it's roar;
    I love not man less,
    But Nature more..."
    (By Lord Byron) (Into The Wild)

  • Poor Things | Sugar And Violence

    In a world blended with the sweetness of sugar and the vulgarity of violence, Bella takes a bite of both and discovers what it means to live again free from the societal pressures in an uncanny steam punk Victorian setting. From the confines of the family setting where social structures can create human perceptions, to the impact of coming into contact with the real world. We follow Bella, a unique

    individual, on a adventure that changes everything for her.

  • A Murder At The End Of The World | Faulty Programming

    Time becomes non-linear, circular, like the retreat in Iceland. From Darby investigating the Silver Doe crimes in the past with Bill, and then investigating the murder of Bill in the hotel, it presents similar feelings of defeat, judgement, curiosity and more. The feelings circulate and are represented to show parallels between the past and

    present, whilst opening doors emotionally within our main
    protagonist. There's always a link when we reflect into our pasts and it is here that we see it in all manner of ways; the link between human and non-human, empathy and apathy, reliance and resistance, monster and the maker, life and death...There are always opposites that are needed to be shown to present the whole story. And it is here that we see that whether it be human or AI, alive or dead, we are all at fault for something in the end.
