Yours truly,
Signed by my broken heart.
Be it carefully constructed memoir of the soul, or heart wrenching adoration for the dearly beloved or a few words of impatient love, Handwritten letters have a flair so warm and elegant that no text messages can ever match.
Films in Frame - Carol, Perks of being a Wallflower, Dead Poet’s Society, Submarine, The Double, Hannibal (Hannibal’s letter to Will in the hospital), Spellbound, Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, Call me by your name (Oliver’s reply to Elio’s letter -enclosed here- Please don’t avoid me. It kills me. Can’t stand thinking you hate me. Your silence is killing me. I’d sooner die than know you hate me. I am such a pussy. Way over the top. Can’t stand the silence. Need to speak to you.)
PS: It’s a shame Tumblr just allows ten images per post.
“Sorrow, my friend, lurks even in gilded places. You can’t escape from it anywhere.”
