upon watching this I realized Tai Chi and meditation are his ways of trying to help himself and its just sad. I like that how you descibed memory, it is a realm like you could have your own revelations over time but could never go back to. This became one of my fav as well. Stunning for a debut film, and a nice video, too.
Such a good film. All the details, like the Tai Chi, are so precise and nuanced. It really does show us just what we need to see and nothing more. Thanks for the comment!
I just finished the movie. In the beginning it seriously amazed me by the shots. The scene on the bus, where everything is quite and subtle really stuck with me. But soon I felt the ever lasting tension. From my point of view I was worried about the movie being about molestation or something else, but soon I found out that the tension is mostly of the battles inside the father, rather than of a painful shared memory. The somehow uncomfortable long scenes were what brought the most to the realism of the movie and in the end tears to my face. I am so tired of idealized movies where everything has to be pretty or bad, nothing in between and I am so glad I found this masterpiece.
I have just read your mission statement and agree with you wholeheartedly. Aftersun is magnificent in countless ways. I express my love of the film with friends and family and seem to be the only one so moved by it which, frankly, surprises me. Here, thanks to reviewing what was captured by video cam while they were together, Frankie can finally grasp the beautiful and sadness of her and Callum’s love and connection.
Was ecstatic to see that you uploaded a new video today. Aftersun along with The Banshees of Inisherin happen to be the films I enjoyed most from 2022. It turns out that some of my favorite movies are the ones that you have chosen to analyze on your channel. I wish you would make more content. All the best.
I'd definitely agree that the films I've looked at so far are some of the best, but there are so many great films out there. Anyway, thanks for watching! Hoping the next one won't be as far away as this one was...
I love your take on memory - it reminds me of something Nietzsche said about it being possible to live without memory, but it is far harder to live with it - constantly holding onto it and replaying it (I think the fragmented bits of jarring light at the start and the end, and dispersed throughout shows how painful it is for adult sophie to relive it all) "Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live at all" - Nietzsche (i think those were the exact words) anyway i loved the video :) and it is great to see you back - youtube has missed you 🍁
The films that have meant the most to me haven't always been those that felt like life-altering experiences immediately afterwards. But "Aftersun" (which I only belatedly caught up with last night) is one that I recognized right away -- like Celine Song's "Past Lives" (which I saw in 2024), or Wim Wenders' "Kings of the Road" (which I saw in the early 1980s) -- all of them memory-films about processing illusions and hopes and regrets...
This is one movie I didn't really "get" on my own, but it's been fascinating to hear other people explain what they love about it.

Was not expecting the Bowie and Mercury at the ending dancing scene. Worked like a charm on me :'(

Grief is a hard thing. If you've dealt with grief or mental health issues, this movie is a hard pill to swallow.
