Remarkably Bright Creatures
The Sheep Detectives
In July, after a funeral and a wedding, I watched The Sheep Detectives. I cried from the 3rf minute in, right up until the very end. this movie, takes a human being through every stage of grief, laughter and contentment. It is a perfect little drop of humanity, and it was the first of a series of movies that would inevitably change the chemical structure of my brain.

Later on, Remarkably Bright Creatures was recommended to me, and again, another perspective of humanity. The sheer stupidity, grumpiness, denial, of a human being bathed in sadness and grief is illustrated by characters of varying ages. The hopefulness and caring nature of humanity serves as a reminder throughout the movie that there are still things to believe in.
HoneyB found her place in my room and refused to leave my side until the next day after watching PHM. It is an incredible story, again a pin drop, perfectly encapsulating humanity. The scientists and their determination to save humanity. The teacher who did not want the Job. The fact that this movie made a relationship between a human and another creature so intimate, friendly and understanding is amazing. amazing.
These are the movies I will come back when I lose faith in myself. I will come back to them when I go through grief again. when I am alone. when I am sad. when I someone wants to know me better.
The Holy Trinity.
