Just watched Living with #BIllNighy, the #Ikiru remake and I am sooo drained from the sad beauty of it and dehydrated from crying. #AimeeLouWood is flawless, her performance is impeccable. I'm sure Oscars are in her future.

Nighy so reminds me of my Dad, of a lost ideal of literally gentle men that has now been replaced with snivelling shitbags like Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.

And where is the honour and decency in our politicians?

Fuck me.

Watched Ikiru last night, and it was one of those films where even as you're watching it, you know it's a masterpiece. One of the best films I've ever seen.

A funny, moving, life-affirming meditation on mortality with a faultless cast and astonishing central performances. It has a structurally brilliant script which includes an innovation that enriches the film's meaning. And it's completely profound while also being completely accessible.
