watched bones and all with a friend
really good film! my friend had seen it before but this was my first time watching it. loved both of the main characters and it was very fun watching it with all the potential readings in mind.
my personal interpretation, is that it's about mental illness. the hereditary aspects, the compulsions that hurt you and others but that you cannot control, the shame, the isolation and the general message of learning to love yourself and others like you. i think the movie plays a lot into cannibalism as a metaphor for just the "other" in general. but mental illness struck me the most, because the compulsive, horrifying and harmful aspects feel especially true in that scenario.
it was a bit gross and hard to watch at times, but not to the point where i didn't want to keep watching, but obviously be mindful before watching it. it is a movie about cannibalism and there's a lot of gore and gross shit that comes with that premise.
overall i was very glad to have seen it, and i think i would love to revisit it at some other point.
