Salt in My Soul (2022)
No sadness allowed
Mallory was beautiful! It was very sad to see that she wasn't allowed to express the whole range of emotions that she was experiencing. In order to protect the people around her, she had to suppress the so-called negative emotions, like sadness, despair, loss, etc. And had to look happy and positive even when she was feeling the very opposite. Very sad indeed!
Paterson (2016)
Really good acting in a long and boring movie
This movie is extremely long and slow.The acting however is very good. The two leading actors skilfully portray a couple who is almost painful to watch. They love each other, but they are not compatible. They have different aspirations and very different personalities. The wife dreams of becoming rich and famous. The husband is smart, generous, loves poetry and seems content with his life in a small town. The movie depicts an ordinary week of their lives. Just as in real life, nothing major happens, only a few minor events. One of the scenes that I found poignant and sad was the husband's conversation with the 10 year old poet girl. Although only 10, her thinking was already tainted by the society's stereotypes and judgements. She didn't hesitate to look surprised that a bus driver could actually love poetry. So, to conclude, my favourite character in the movie was Marvin, the dog.
