Remember those posters that said, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”? Well, that’s true of every day but one - the day you die.

The Northman (2022)+ symbolism: One would assume that there would be some popular metaphorical meaning for the flowers; a meaning of love or romance. The movies in our pop culture tell another story from a different point of view. It shows emotions of empathy, destruction, lust, wanting, rebirth, purity, death and various other emotions that can be translated through our screens. In the Victorian era, flowers were primarily used to deliver messages that couldn’t be spoken aloud. In a sort of silent dialogue.

Jane Fonda photographed by Francois Gragnon on the set of the film ‘METZENGERSTEIN’ by Roger VADIM, based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. It is one of the three sketches of the film 'EXTRAORDINARY STORIES’. Most of the exterior scenes were shot in Brittany. Here, on the domain of the Château de Kerjean, in SAINT-VOUGAY in Finistère⭐️
Couldn’t help but treat myself because it wasn’t available on Spotify.

Films I’ve Watched in 2020 (292/?)
American Beauty (1999)
dir. Sam Mendes
“But it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.”
