Maya Hawke: Thérèse (2022)
A impactful music video behind a beautiful song
This may have been one of the very few music videos that has left me speechless. Thèrése is a beautiful song on its own but placed together with the shameless cinematography unveils the vulnerability in the sexualization of women. Being exposed in such a way in order to empower others and help gain that feeling of pride over our own skin is such a power move that the word courageous is not a strong enough word to describe everyone who has taken part in bringing this vision to life. It's a fearless message that will definitely bring empowerment and assurance to those who watch it. A powerful message that will hopefully one day be pushed further into the spotlight.
Heathers (1988)
A Film That Can Never Be Remade
For being the film that has started the chain of stereotypical high school films we have today, "Heathers" is really in a category of its own. The charm and humor clashing with a dark undertone that takes its audience off guard upon first viewing. It provokes an unsettling interpretation of how from a high schooler's perspective, status in the moment may as well feel like its life or death. It masks its intrusive side through quirky one-liners coping from peer pressure and high expectations. With what occurs in the film and how dark the theme gets as the story progresses, I don't believe they could ever recreate this film. There hasn't been a film of this nature that has been able to replicate "Heathers", and probably never will.
