I finally sat down and watched it today—honestly, I haven’t even seen Citizen Kane yet. I absolutely hate it when a movie gets this much hype and everyone acts like it's mandatory, yet it takes me forever to actually get around to watching it. I liked it, though. Audrey was just stunning; she seems so fragile and... well, you know. I guess that's exactly what they were going for. She plays the character as a bit of a scatterbrain, too. I can't believe she didn't catch on to the whole code thing. It feels more like she’s just living in her own little bubble where someone would actually pay her just to chat and spout nonsense to strangers.
As for the ending, I thought the shift felt really forced. The idea that her entire way of thinking transforms from total chaos into perfect clarity just because of a conversation in a taxi is a stretch. Throughout the whole movie, we meet Holly as this incredibly complex, superficial materialist with unbelievable charm, and then suddenly, they’re kissing in the rain and she’s supposedly over Brazil and the high life. It’s beautiful and romantic on screen, sure, but in the real world? That wouldn't be a happy ending for them. It would be the start of a nightmare.

They have some solid tracks even though I was never really a huge fan. My favorites have gotta be Wasted TIME, I remember you at 18 and Life, and Youth going Wild. That song "See You Around" from the Thick skin album is totally infectious—maybe it’s just because it reminds me of someone. 😍

This movie is pure genius. Honestly, even though I’ve seen it a dozen times, it’s one of those absolute masterpieces you just never get tired of. I can't even decide who my favorite is—Hugh Grant playing that bumbling Prime Minister is hilarious, Bill Nighy is perfect as the washed-up rock star, and then there's Colin Firth, whom I just adore in pretty much everything he does. The way they weave all those different storylines together is brilliant. There isn't a single dull moment, and thank god, it isn't sappy at all.
It’s officially become a part of my Christmas tradition 🙂
