I just finished watching "Get Out," and it was an intense, mind-altering experience that made me reconsider various aspects of life. It was a deeply affecting film but ended on a note that wasn't as bleak as it could have been, which I appreciated. Watching the movie while cooking proved to me that I can multitask in this way, and it provided me with a much-needed mental reset. Feeling refreshed from the experience, I'm now ready to tackle some coding with a hopeful mindset.

One of my goals is to watch the latest Studio Ghibli film alongside Chandler. This shared activity is something I'm looking forward to. Watching a new Studio Ghibli movie is on my to-do list, and I plan to do it with Chandler. Enjoying the newest release from Studio Ghibli in the company of Chandler would be a delightful experience.

I recently received recommendations for two movies, "Leave the World Behind" and "In Time". Both films were recommended by Alex, with "Leave the World Behind" also being suggested by Chandler. These are the movies I am considering to watch. I wanted to jot this down to remember the recommendations.

I want to get the book Starting Point by Hayao Miyazaki.

After watching "The Boy and the Heron" with Chandler, the speaker was struck with a desire to see the movie again because they felt like they missed crucial elements, akin to the feeling they get from any Miyazaki film. They pondered the character of the uncle, who seemed to represent Miyazaki, putting the protagonist Mahito through various tests, with a recurring theme of the struggle to pass on his legacy against the backdrop of a crumbling world. Throughout the film, Mahito faces overwhelming odds such as being swarmed by animals, yet his resolve remains unbroken, which the speaker found to be a powerful portrayal of perseverance. The speaker identified with this strength of will and also noted themes like the futility of certain struggles, symbolized by the parakeets acting as NPCs, and intriguing details such as only the living being capable of taking life in the spirit realm, all of which contributed to their desire to revisit the film for deeper understanding.
