For a self-confessed cinephile, watching movies is more than just killing time—it’s individuality, self-discovery and possibly a new love language
Back in 2015, I got into more films I wasn’t familiar with. I’d also watch montages of mind-blowing scenes, film explanations and analyses, top tens and film reviews on YouTube. I didn’t know how to torrent films, so I’d buy them from my film buff friend, who handed me a selection straight out of a cinephile starter pack: “Fight Club,” “Donnie Darko” and “Blade Runner.” It was with these films that my eyes were opened to different genres.
When you don’t know what to check out, not even Netflix’s recommendations can save the day. Back in high school and even now in college, I’m that one friend who always has the time to binge something even if it was finals week. I’ve landi’d my way to my then crush by recommending some films. Love can be manifested in many different ways, like spending quality time or giving gifts—but mine just happens to be recommending films. I can trace my obsession to Letterboxd, when I would watch five films a day then logged them on the app. My days were spent finishing Christopher Nolan’s entire filmography, but now that I’m in college, I barely have time to watch.There’s no universal “greatest film of all time.” People have different tastes.
We escape and look for stories that are products of different imaginations, and we may or may not experience these stories differently.
