Live in Living Color

I often find myself wanting to write about films that I've seen as movies are something I really love a lot and are a pretty important part of my life, but I get put off as I've always felt like the expectation is a review with proper analysis, and I'm just... not like that. And because I'm not great at analytical thinking, I end up feeling like I'm not allowed to talk about things I've liked because I don't have anything deep or insightful to say about it. But I also know that that's really dumb, I don't have to analyze something to death or pick up on minute themes and details to have a movie mean something to me personally, and if I want to gush about a movie I've enjoyed then why not? So that's exactly why I've created this blog, to share about the movies I've enjoyed from time to time, whether they be new watches or old favourites. I also might share other things movie-related such as my artwork, things I've collected, movie related trip reports, and basically make it more of a journal.

To give a bit of insight into who's writing - my name is Sadie, I'm primarily an illustrator and as well as movies I enjoy vintage things, music, Disney, nature, and musical theater most of all. My favourite actor is Aaron Tveit, and I was lucky enough to be able to save up to travel to New York where I met him and gave him a piece of my artwork. Other actors I enjoy are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Al Pacino, Lon Chaney, Keira Knightley, Bela Lugosi, Mia Farrow, and Mads Mikkelsen.

I'm not too fussy with my movie taste although I definitely have my preferences, but I watch anything from silents up to modern day. Some of my favourite movies of all time include Joker (2019) The Prince of Egypt (1998), Big Sky (2015), Moulin Rouge! (2001), Frozen (2013), Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Godfather (1972), Marie Antoinette (2006), Titanic (1997), The Tenant (1976), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), My Neighbour Totoro (1988), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937), The VVitch (2015), En Chance Til (2014), What We Do In The Shadows (2014), Jagten (2012), The Dark Knight (2008), Ratatouille (2007), Wall-E (2008), Zodiac (2007), and Pan's Labyrinth (2006). I've probably forgotten something really important.

I have a Letterboxd if you want to keep up with my movie watching habits in real time, and if you're so inclined you can follow my more personal blog where I write about my daily happenings, theater trips, travel, and fangirl over Mika a lot.

I also have a bunch of reviews that I've written in the past which I'm going to share here to get me started ✨
