The Babadook

Monday, October 24th, 2022

This isn’t really a mini-review, but I saw The Babadook (2014) again for the first time in years. I don’t quite remember my take back then, but I really liked it now, probably one of the best representation of grief on screen that I’ve seen, blending the imaginary with the real to show how utterly destructive and annihilating unchecked emotions can be… and a poignant final message that sets it apart from others in the genre.

Beautifully done.

Coincidentally, as I post this, I realize I saw it on the 23rd, meaning it was seven months to the day since Dad left us. Seems oddly fitting…

rambling

Thursday, June 23rd, 2022

Just realized today’s three months since my dad’s gone. Coincidentally, for the last couple of nights I’ve had dreams where he was and we talked. Nothing special, the kind of everyday stuff when I visited my parents, except in one where they wanted to sell the house. I didn’t want them to sell the house. I think I’m afraid my mom might want to sell the house at some point, I was gutted when they sold my grandpa’s house in Spain a few years back, I keep dreaming of buying it back some day. I’m very attached to things I guess. Anyway in the haze of semi-wakeness, where the dream continues but it starts to break down because I know it’s a dream… I was glad I could see him again.

Clearings in the mist

Feels funny to suddenly realize a certain inevitably to something… A “aha” moment, when it clicks one’s no longer considering the “if” any longer, but the “when”, or even the “how”.

Some epiphanies take time, but there’s also only one way to find out where this road is going.

No, I’m not drunk. To be continued.
