Gender dysphoria as a psychological thriller is such a creative idea I love this movie so much
Fr. It’s in like my top 3 movies ever. I’ve seen it over 10 times now lol
The end part, made me feel uncomfortable because even though he didn't get in the grave, i felt like i was still looking at a dead person
Owen is dead because he didn't get in the grave. The death of who you were (or who you were pretending to be) is necessary before you can be reborn as who you really are. Owen was already underground. They needed to accept that (by burying themselves in the Midnight Realm) in order to dig themselves out again. Instead, Owen stayed there.
@@stephaniel7002in my opinion owen has escape the realm bc after the credit you will hear the sound of rain plus king woman who perfom at the double lunch return with a song call bury
She pinked my opaque until I saw my TV glow.
so true queen.
Hoo boy.
This movie properly broke me. Like I mean sobbing uncontrollably for hours trying desperately to curl into a ball so tight I'd cease to exist.
I have a ridiculously positive support circle who I know accept me for who I am no matter what.
And yet.
And yet coming out, actually transitioning socially and medically, is the single most terrifying thing I've faced in my life.
I know it's right. I know when I see a woman in the mirror it makes me so happy I couldn't possibly express it fully even if given a thousand lifetimes, but it takes so much force of will to take even a small step that it's physically draining me.
I know how Owen feels. Every day I live as a man I can feel my body decay and rot. I'm dying, I'm suffocating, I'm in the midnight realm.
Every little step I take towards becoming my real self drains me completely. But I'm noticing more and more that the life force that's drained when I buy a bra or ask my doctor about HRT recovers a little quicker and drains a little less each time.
I'm getting there.
Handful by handful, I am burying myself. And it feels fucking fantastic.
My name is Aoife and I am a woman.
If I can do it, you can too.
There is still time.
Transitioning really is worth it, regardless of how painful the process is.
That is such an awesome name. No idea what my name is, not yet, but I’ll get there.
@@distantmaniacallaughter8690 Thank you! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) I'm rooting for you, I'm sure whatever name you choose will be beautiful
@@notdancooper923 I’ll be real, I’m nonbinary so I’ve been considering keeping a semi fem appearance but straight up just calling myself Joshua. Jacob, maybe, something with a j and an I in it. We’ll see
@@distantmaniacallaughter8690 That's a fantastic vibe, I'm sure it suits you perfectly
The one bit of hope injected into the movie that I appreciate is the subliminal messaging that "there is still time" even after Owen waited 20 something years to confront what was inside of him. The idea that living your true life, even for just a little bit, makes it better. No matter how late in life. Of course I'm still in my 20s but it still stings to look back on my teenage years and how much time was wasted just by waiting for everything to get better by itself, not really knowing what was going on.
i like tv shows and trans people
Sometimes, Freddy Got Fingered feels more real than real life
@@kimbeeely you're right
I like how the vagueness of the film encourages you to make your own reads and connections. For instance you can choose to either take Maddy's words as the truth of the film's narrative, and assume that being buried alive will truly save and awaken their true selves, or you can see her as falling into a suicidal doom spiral, latching on to and building an afterlife mythology from her favorite media as a form of hopeful justification.
@@mimimalloc for sure. I was on a podcast-thingy about the movie once (didn’t get published online womp womp), and I talked a bunch about how I think it’s kinda cool how this movie can be interpreted in a bunch of ways. Like the most literal obvious one is that Maddy is right, but I also kinda really like interpretations where Maddy is wrong, and The Pink Opaque is a much more symbolic thing
I saw that second interpretation at first, but I’m definitely seeing that first one more now
@@urlocalghostI literally was so fixated on it being that second one that it took my boyfriend explaining it to me to realize it's most likely the first and I'm not sure why I was so sure it was gonna be about her using the show to escape from reality or something idek
hmmm, i'm gonna have to say: Not really.
@@KaebrenEXACTLY I was so shitass tired and miserable I saw maddie as being completely dead. Her mannerisms when she “comes back” for Owen were so uncomfortable for me to watch I immediately assumed she was insane.
I’m (mostly) cis but I Saw the TV Glow really resonated with me from a perspective of escapism, and I think that’s why the ending didn’t really work for me. It was a trans allegory. My experience of wanting the world to be different is different from wanting the world to see you as different.
Or maybe I did understand it. Maybe I’m just too afraid of it.
godddd the monologue with mr. melancholy gave me goosebumps. it reminds me of something you’d see in a bad dream as a kid and it’d freak you out for weeks after. like you think a creepy moon dude is hiding in your closet telling you won’t remember anything when you die lol
and I mean i guess my transness was in the closet instead lmao
My friends made me watch the movie because I’ve been semi-repressing. I feel like I’m kind of at an inbetween stage between full on living a lie and wholly embracing being trans. It’s just hard to accept when you really don’t want it to be the case.
For me what’s hard to accept is that there will be people who accept ME as trans.
@@yohaAltsame, idk (I’m about to make a niche reference but it stood out to me) but in the movie Wonka, when he gives the orphan a piece of chocolate the girl gets sad and explains “I wish you hadn’t done that because now everyday I don’t have it I’ll be sad” and that’s kinda how I feel about being trans...
For what it's worth, I've been in your situation. Like I even have a ton of queer/trans friends, but I just didn't want that to be a struggle that I had to deal with...
But now that I've embraced it and been on hrt for over a year (even without fully presenting femme all the time) I've literally never been happier. I've had the opportunity to learn what it's like to be happy again, to feel sad again, to feel love for others and myself again. I kinda even revel in being trans because I've learned to see just how beautiful it can be.
Thats pretty much how I felt when I watched it
I was in a similar state before watching this movie. I was newly accepting towards my identity when I saw this movie for the first time. It hit me like a train. I had already accepted myself and it still hit me at a thousand miles per hour. Within the first few seconds of the movie I was a weeping mess, I think my body knew what was coming. Accepting our trans identities is hard - there's a lot of fear associated with it. I was scared for a long time to let myself be myself because of all the social and political ramifications. This movie being a horror movie is so ridiculously accurate to the trans experience
this is the prettiest film that ever punched me in the face for 100 minutes straight.
maybe im just projecting my own experience, but i totally read this film as being about a trans girl who knows shes trans but feels like she can never act on that feeling.
putting off any form of romantic feelings (i thought i was an aro/ace guy for a long time before becoming a big gay lesbian) because you cant live to see yourself as a man in a relationship. wanting desperately to engage with forms of femininity but being unable to get past the shame that you cant explain, which we see in owen desperately scrubbing off the symbol of the pink opaque. trying to hold on to and follow the (transmasculine) friends you see finally living their lives authentically and still being unable to push yourself off that cliff because you just cant imagine whats at the bottom. more than anything else ive ever seen this film felt like it reflected my pre-transition mentality and dysphoria.
really great video, and i love that every trans person can find something that speaks to them in this movie. there is ALWAYS still time 🏳️⚧️
I need to rewatch this movie but I'm scared to. "There is still time" always gives me chills. I hope there is.
hey listen. listen to me. there is ALWAYS time. as long as you are still breathing, as long as your heart beats, every second you spend not buried in the ground, you have time
every time i think of this movie i become even more strong in my sense of self. i don't want to be 30 screaming at myself for still asking "am i really trans though" every day for my whole life
This movie means so much to me. I saw it in theaters with my friend. We are both trans men who have connected with eachother through media. At the end of the movie everyone else shuffled out of theater chuckling and commenting on how weird the movie was. But we stayed in our seats. Silenty watching the credits until the lights came on.
My best friend had to tell me I was trans, I was basically sleepwalking through life and she gently brought up the possibility based off some things i had said in the past, i brushed it off and tried to move on with my life but that conversation kept popping up in my mind. eventually i considered the possibility and booked an appointment at a gender care place just for some information. Turns out I double booked it and had to cancel the appointment and I broke down sobbing. its been almost a year now, my family doesn't accept me but my friends do and thats all I need, I have a long way to go in terms of self acceptance but i cant imagine my future as anyone else
"Owen waits for Maddy to return and force him underground, but really nobody can choose for you."
you have worded this so extremely perfect. this quote you said specifically has truly rewired my brain and has made me love this film even more. thank you so much.
I’m not trans, I’m pretty confident in saying that, but this movie was showing in my university theater and, having heard of it and its themes, I decided to go see it and yeah this movie’s fucked up. There were some people who laughed a few times near the end and I’ve never related less to my fellow human beings than I did in that moment. My mom happened to be in town and came to see it with me, and after we left the theater she said that she was so relieved when Owen pushed Maddy over in the football field and ran away, and that she’d never felt more like yelling at someone on the screen than she did leading up to that moment. I didn’t actually discuss her interpretation of the movie with her, mostly just because I didn’t think starting a conversation with, “you know, I think maybe he should have tried killing himself, just to find out,” would be a good idea, but it’s interesting to me that, even with how effectively the movie made horror out of everyday life, she still was so confident in its reality while I felt a lot more conflicted.
Now, due to some life events, suicide was probably a pretty raw subject for my mom at the time, so that probably had an effect too, but while I’ve never struggled with my gender identity, I have had other identity issues, and I’ve certainly dealt with isolation, so I do wonder how that may have colored my perception of the film compared to someone who liked their childhood.
i went to see this movie with 5 other trans people and we were SCARED SHITLESS. best movie going experience i’ve ever had
my boyfriend asks me time to time whether i would like to transition, i always say i don't know. i let my hair grow longer when all i want is to keep it shorter, i wear dresses and hear people compliment me and wonder if people still would think of me the same if i transitioned. i force myself into this box and keep telling myself i'm not 'really' trans if i feel fine wearing skirts, i'm not trans because i get by fine. but there's always something missing about me and i doubt there's still time for me. this movie makes me feel seen when i didn't really wanted to be seen, and i love it for that.
i was just gonna watch this video without any context because i do that, but for some reason i paused it when "full spoilers ahead" popped up and waited to watch the movie myself first. thank you for making this video so i'd end up doing that!!! i just finished it and i'm not sure what emotions i'm feeling but i'm very glad i watched it, and i'm excited to see what you've got to say now.
Im one of the few that really like the ending, bc i really resonated with it. I use to live in a country where being queer and trans was illegal, and for most of my life, i thought i would never get to live as myself. I really like the scene where owen opens his chest to the mirror to see their "true self." Eventho the character is transfem, it instantly reminded me of the feeling i had when i removed my surgery chest binder and saw my chest for the first time. My partner had to hold me while i sobbed in the theatre, i didnt think it was going to hit me so hard, i thought it was gonna fully lean into just transfem euphoria. But thats not the tv glow, its trans euphoria period, and thats why its so amazing! Its for everyone, bc everyone deserves to live their life as their authetic self! Theres still time!
Thanks so much for sharing 💖. I’m in my late 20s, started on HRT last year and it’s A LOT. I’m terrified but excited to see where it all takes me. I so relate to your description of feeling suffocated by any boxes people put you in.
I’m definitely going to have to check this film out. The concept of not transitioning and living with the “what ifs” as a life long funeral for a life you could have had is… powerful as fuck.
I saw the TV glow?? I sure hope so!! That what it SUPPOSED to do!! 😂😂
Liberals think that they’re transgender bc their tv is glowing. So they don’t even notice their microchip 🤣🤣🤣
If this movie was set in the 2020s, it'd be called I Saw the iPAD Glow!!!! 😂😂😂😂
This film meant so much to me. I’ve identified with being trans since I was 12-13, and I’ve gone through a laundry list of labels since then. I’m 19 now, supporting myself, and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to afford low dose T. I have never felt so euphoric, so proud, yet so scared within a single month. My body is changing, I have not felt this “fear” and curiosity since I was a child.
When I first started identifying with transness, it was a completely new world to me, I felt so many things. I never quite “felt like a man,” but I knew for certain I wasn’t okay with being seen as a woman. I identified heavily with gender fluidity and the NB label, but I was repeatedly told that it wasn’t real. That I had to be a certain way to REALLY be trans. As I got older those sentiments stuck with me in ways I’ve only recently been able to genuinely unpack. The end of this video was greatly validating. I hate boxes. I love that I’m not alone, I love this community. I’m hoping that my journey with medically transitioning helps me feel more at ease and at home with my very “out of the box” identity. I hope to truly see my genderless yet very boy yet very girl self in the mirror someday. I Saw The Tv Glow put an ache in my bones very similar to this feeling… such a beautiful film. .°(ಗдಗ。)°.
Genuinely couldn’t move when the credits came on. I couldn’t let myself believe that was the ending. I was looking around the room, trying to see if anyone else was as distraught as I was, but everyone seemed fine. Literally couldn’t form a coherent sentence to explain to my cis bsf why it hit me so hard for a good 10 minutes afterwards. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, hands down.
how quietly a lot of us live
This movie was really interesting to me, as straight man. Going into it, I already knew about the transgender allegory, and picked up on the what and why of it pretty quickly. It's not a subtle film.
But there were aspects of it that triggered something in me that feot more universal.
1. Regret. The feeling that your life isn't what it was supposed to be. That somewhere along the way, you've made mistakes that can't be undone.
2. Attachements through media. There's an interesting feeling that I've never heard a name for. In my life, certain media is inextricably linked to people and places. Watching Star Wars every Christmas morning with my cousin. Sneaking out of my foster home and riding my bike across town to watch wrestling with my dad. Staying up all night and playing Sonic The Hedgehog with my best friend as a kid. This movie touches on that feeling in a way nothing else does. I guess you could call it nostalgia, but that feels too broad.
great video !! im working on an isttg video right now and i love how you blended your personal experience with what happens to owen during the film. i think the biggest takeaway from the film is what you brought up during the scene where they talked with maddy, the act of repression and not having the words to describe how you feel. societal pressures make being trans a pretty scary thing and you may feel like you're "not right" or "weird" for a feeling that is totally okay to have, but because of that fear you might not want to look deeper. taking that first step is terrifying, but finally feeling one step closer to understanding yourself is a truly amazing feeling.
@@goIdy ty ty!!! And yeah I agree. The first step is arguably the most scary (it was for me lol), but after that, the rest feels more “natural”. I spent so much time coming up with justifications to not go further than the first step, but eventually, it kinda just all fell into place bc it’s who I am
Also good luck making your own video!!!
Thank you. I was feeling so hopeless and just wanted a video to distract myself but this gave me hope. I relate to your experience so much its insane, just the other way I'm trans masc. I think you've saved my life, thank you.
I wanna watch this movie now. I'm trans, socially transitioned for a few years, and recently began my first school fully out as a guy (well, almost fully), and realized a few weeks ago that while I enjoy feeling masculne and being seen as a dude, it also feels like I'm still being beaten into a box, only this time it's with something I enjoyed and I thought maybe I wasn't trans and should detransition, but I still felt no regrets over my transition, and didn't want to go back to being a girl, knowing deep down it'd be uncomfortable and giving up.
I recently have been thinking I'm Non-binary because while I want to be seen as a guy, I don't fully feel there, and with some level of fluidity, it's really awkward, but I'm growing more comfortable. It feels freeing but also scary. I'm gonna bring it up with my therapist today. It's scary but also exciting. I consider myself a dude but I know that fully, I'm something more, not fully confined.
Great video!
This is my favorite take on this movie. I have been looking around profusely since it came out to see if anyone had a similar experience with this film that I did (I'm a trans man) and its so comforting to see others react to it similarly. It is unsettling but at the same time so beautiful. I Saw the TV Glow has definitely become my favorite movie and I really love the way you talked about it and how your experiences tie into why you saw it the way you did.
Forever haunted by this movie. Good video!
Ty!
I relate a lot to your experience of transitioning from one side of the binary to the other and it still not quite feeling entirely right. I'm not like fully genderfluid, cuz I really don't identify at all with being masculine outside of like dressing up like a drag king sometimes like it's a costume. But I am some typa genderflux cuz I rarely ever feel 100% like a 'woman'. Usually I'm somewhere between being a woman and being agender, but because I don't wanna be seen as masculine at all, I feel myself over performing as a woman, and I've gotten quite good at that cuz I almost never get referred to as masculine labels anymore, but it does end up feeling suffocating sometimes cuz often I just wanna act however feels natural to me in the moment without it being read as either masc or fem. Is what it is ig, I can't abolish the gender binary by myself lol
This movie was absolutely wild, my buddy said it was middling for A24 but this shit rocked me. I would like to also say my ears instantly perked up the second I noticed Celeste ost being used for bgm
awesome video & great analysis! I've seen this movie exactly once and have wanted to rewatch it so many times since but it is so incredibly haunting- absolute 10/10 film; i'm never not thinking about it. The shot of Owen screaming "IM DYING" while no one else around him can hear him replays in my mind daily. I cannot wait for the day where i'm ready to re-watch
Can we appreciate how well this is edited? I thought for sure that this was an established +100'000 subs channel until I tried to check out your other stuff! Love how well the aestetic goes with the movie, and I'm really thinking of watching it (if I can find it). It is so seldom that you find good queer media :[
Edit: i just watched it. JESUS CHRIST, it was AMAZING. Thank you so much. :D
Still haven't seen the movie yet so I'm leaving a comment here and will return whenever I finish it!!!
Thank you king ✝️👑
This movie had me looking up the price of testosterone and sobbing when i saw how high it was lol
omg i loved that movie too and i love your analysis (the part where tara/maddy explains the terms of the show to owen/isabel as a standin for queer terms is so good)
personally, i also have another analysis, which is about tara/maddy, being a "monster" which triggers owen/isabel's fear of change/the unknown
in fiction, even though a monster is often a grotesque figure that's antagonistic to the protagonists, like the monsters of the Pink Opaque and Mr Melancholy, a Monster can also be a symbolic representation of a fear of the Unknown, of facing off against something that you don't fully understand
In that sense, Tara/Maddy is a big agent of change compared Owen/Isabel - she has taken control of her identity and was able to leave this city, which are massive steps that are sources of fear and anxiety for Owen/Isabel, so Tara's actions terrify her
For me, it's also the reason why , despite Tara/Maddy never being a pushing or forcing force for Owen/Isabel (Tara/Maddy might be intense, however never forces or pursues Isabel/Owen like a classical Horror monster), Owen/Isabel is terrified of her ideas because they represent such an unknown to consider, and this can be represented in the film by some tense moments from Owen/Isabel perspective (not running away, the bar scene, the planetarium scene) which represents her inner self-loathing, low self-esteem and internalized queerphobia...
Yk i dont look at that ending as "its too late for owen. He'll never become the person he wants to be" i saw the chalk writing on the street saying "its not too late" and that gave me the idea that owen didnt continue living his miserable life. When he cut himself open he finally took that step to see who he was and he was glad that he was right, as shown on his face. It makes me wonder what he'll do now that he knows with 100% certainty that Maddy was right and that the feeling of the show being more real than real life was validated. Maybe he buries himself like how maddy did, finally going into season 6. Finally becoming the pink opaque
Just watched the movie tonight, this is a great video essay. I was feeling really sad about the ending but you pointing out that Owen does experiment a little by changing shirts made me feel better.
The Kimbeest video that’s ever Kimbee’d, cinema in its truest form
the most kimbee of all time until i drop my mr birchum review
Good analysis with some good self reflection. This one felt more intimate than ur previous vids, and I liked that. My favorite aspect of this movie was the aesthetic. Tons of great shots and colorful lighting. It feels very of our time but I hope it will age well.
Ty ty. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie last night when we watched it (✝️). The way this movie is shot really is beautiful. I know we talked about in DMs and shit but MAAAAN the wide shots on this movie
Thanks for making this. I felt so seen by your gender story, I also identify as gender fluid and it's such a weird space to hold in our binary society. Thank you for sharing and being visible.
This is probably my favorite video essay about the movie, and I've seen almost all of them. I like your editing, the personal connection is similar to mine, and I loved how you ended it. Subscribed :)
(Also: 1:22 I see what you did there...)
loved this ❤ this deepened my understanding of some of the metaphors in the pink opaque! Thanks for this!
I freaking sobbed my way through this film. It’s suffocating, and the end isn’t even the escape of it, because I’m still thinking about it. I feel incredibly hopeful about the impact this film will have. Maybe it would’ve reached me when I needed it most.
13:02
I experienced this, Ibwas really unsure abt my gender, and used a bunch of different labels, but eventually my own dysphoria and worry about not being seen as masculine as I was, and fear of getting bullied kicked in, I decided to just make myself a he/him and tried to be as masculine as possible to the outside world.
i’m trans, and halfway through this movie i started bawling and didn’t stop. it’s so, so scary being queer. phenomenal film. i just finished it ten minutes ago and i’m still crying. what a trip. it’s not too late. you still have time.
the final scenes are so haunting, too. i’ve felt EXACTLY like that-screaming at everyone around me that i’m dying, i need help, i want to be saved, and getting nothing in response. stumbling around apologizing for being in pain. god i love this movie. i’m crying again
my best friend and i are both trans, but we’re also both neurodivergent. we connected a lot more with maddy’s perception of the show and maddy and owen’s connection over it. it is so difficult to bond over things when the only thing that feels real and the only thing that matters is something you don’t share with someone else. my friend and i share our hyperfixations with each other but if we didn’t we would struggle to connect
This is such a beautiful analysis. Thank you for making and sharing this!
i couldnt even watch this video TT genuinely every time I even think aboutt his movie it just, hits so hard. i think that's a testament to its quality though, how strongly it makes me feel.
I love horror, but so much media misses in so many ways and it honestly discouraged me for a while. So, I looked into indie stuff and I found a lot of promise, and I was disappointed that mainstream media hadn't caught up yet. But then I watched this movie, and it is the thing I have been hoping for. It is terrifying and uncomfortable and it doesnt shy away from the true horror its addressing. It made me feel hopeful again, because now I know without a doubt that its possible. I saw the tv glow is amazing, and while I wouldn't say it's perfect, it's pretty close.
I watched it with my parents, they had no clue what it was about but I understood it perfectly
this movie fucked me up hard and it makes me cry just thinking about it which while i cry a lot is still powerful because like only my really big hyperfixations can do that so easily. like im not ready for this video and im scared
When I watched this movie, I had to just stare at the wall for a little before getting ready. I felt so numb and I finally started crying when I was done. Transitioning seems out of reach for me as a person who currently lives in a third world country- especially as one with a unsupportive family. I'm currently working towards getting my college degree and I think if I had to pick between having a good job and transitioning, I'd pick the former which makes me so so depressed. I Saw the TV Glow made me feel seen as a person who loves watching TV shows and movies and who also struggles with internalized hatred of my queer aspects. Good movie and I loved your review, 10/10
wow your interpretation is incredible and made me cry.
I’m not trans, but I’ve experienced gender dysphoria and can’t properly express myself the way I want to (also I’m queer, lol)
So when I tell you this movie made me feel dread and empty after I walked out of the theaters with my friends… bro ☠️☠️☠️
I haven’t watched this quite yet, but im so glad this came up on my home page, this is made for me :)
I'm not trans but I am a lesbian and this film still resonated so deeply with me- I think that, although much of it is aimed towards a genderqueer audience, it still plays on emotions experienced by all queer people. It is also such an interesting commentary on how differently and obsessively our generation consumes media. It's a film for everyone if you're willing to find yourself in it is what I guess I'm trying to say...
I really wish I could transition, and that I could come out. This film is awesome in so many ways, and really means a lot to me.
Just paused to watch the whole movie and let me say, oh my fucking god. It's a lot. I felt soooo much now ready to dive in to the vid
This movie genuinely made me question whether what I was watching or what was around me was real or not. I usually hate films like that but this one ended up surpassing a lot of those types. And while I didn’t like it as much as the rest of this community, I do absolutely see why so many others absolutely adore it!
I really liked the movie, I think most people did, some people really didn’t like it though, which is fine, but man this is one of those movies that I made me really passionate about defending it. I just wish everyone really understood what it means to the people it aims for. Great movie
I missed the trans aspect completely. But it still was a first-rate horror movie. I found the monsters in it to be super creepy
. I read Mattie's monologue as her having gone completely insane. A dissociated fantasy that started when she was a teen of 14 had grown into full psychosis. And I saw the part where he tackled her and then ran away as super sad, but a reasonable thing for him to do rather than getting buried alive. I guess I missed a lot of the metaphors. But as a horror movie, it totally worked for me.
I'm autistic and trans and I saw both Maddy/Tara and Owen/Isabelle as autistic coded. There's a statistic that says that autistic people are 10 times more likely to identify as trans or gender nonconforming than non-autistic people! That's a huge statistic. Of course you don't *have* to be autistic to be trans/gnc, however many of us are. And I feel that the movie sets that up beautifully.
oh. 'she prefers to be called steven.' i see.
goat video and also new england represent i saw this at providence place around the same time 🔥🔥🔥
@@thatschinesefood Ty ty and also I LOVE PROVIDENCE PLACE I WENT ON A ROAD TRIP TO SEE OPPENHEIMER THERE
Going out to see this movie twice was both the best and worst decision of my life.
I really want to watch this film but can’t access it anywhere living in the uk 😭
Always love hearing other queer peoples thoughts on the movie. Amazing video
I love this movie, it’s like the matrix bit purple
the matrix is also a trans movie lol
@@trustedroot yeah ik, pretty great
That movie was so scary, sad yet amazing of an Experience. ❤
I just watched this movie…. man it hit me hard
Hey, here’s a suggestion for an animated show with a trans main character dead end paranormal park(note it is Netflix exclusive)
(PS the main character Barney is FTM in case you’re wondering)
13:30 📭📫
Awesome video ❤
This movies message was really really good but unfortunately its presentation really didnt work for me. It felt like it was very tell not show (if the tell was a super artsy queer person reading their edgy poems to you)
and what's wrong with telling rather than showing? that it's not your personal preference? well it is for me, so suck it up and deal with it.
ISTTVG VIDEO ESSAY YAYYYYY
