Movie Type
The Deep Diver
Not crying. Just something in the eye. For 40 minutes.
A film without a life crisis is a commercial to you. You pick movies by their Oscar odds and call emotional devastation "a lovely evening". Your tissues arrive on subscription.
A film doesn't have to entertain you, it has to change you. You seek out the scene that pulls the ground from under your feet and call that relaxation. It takes you two days to recover, and you still recommend the film to everyone.
