Biggest take away from the Oscars for me is that finding people you love and making art with them is a worthy, integral and noble human pursuit, no matter the odds or outcomes.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things that are so over, the courage to say fuck it we ball, and the wisdom to know when we are so fucking back
Additional thought: there's also something to Evans' character following his heart, so-to-speak, & pursuing a career that isn't lucrative but has meaning to him, to his soul. I feel like every artist gets this - the feeding the soul vs feeding the mouth paradox we live in.
I love this answer because I actually cried during Materialists at the way that every character except Chris Evans' seemed to hate themselves and lack self love and feel inherently worthless, & only felt value through relationship to ahem material things & proximity to wealth
There's many ways to get at this issue/theme. Another writer might do it differently. I personally love that I'm still thinking about the movie, the commodification of love, our hearts & human value & the idea of dating as a marketplace with risks like sexual assault built in.
Ava Daniels living at the Americana in Glendale is just the most perfect choice made in a TV show ever ever ever. Dare I say I am kind of jealous... ? There's a movie theatre, a cheesecake factory, a fountain that changes theme on holiday. DIN TAI FUNG. She's living the dream!
The simple lessons
Kendrick: Stop letting people play in your face.
Beyonce: create what TF you WANT and stand ten toes on it.
Doechii: once you stop playing about YOU .. you have no idea how fast your life can change.
On my mind:
1) i need to go dancing
2) all the girlies i know getting back into the things they loved when the were younger (singing, skating, crafting) & i think that's beautiful
3) Doechii is !!!! Like !!!
