my favorite thing to do is find comfort in media.. music, movies, tv shows, i love seeing myself in characters and seeing a reflection of the lives of those around me being played out infrom of me. I also love escaping my reality and tuning into the lives of others.
lets talk about tv series...
HIGH FIDELITY
If you often find yourself reminiscing on the past, constantly thinking about what could've been.. High fidelity is the show for you!!! lmao but litterally. High fidelity is a show following Rodyn Brooks ( Zoe Kravitz) taking a trip down memory lane picking apart her past relationships trying to find validation that she isnt the problem. something i can relate to. this show shows friendship, romances, heart break and new beginnings!! not to mention a timeless sound track. Fuck hulu for not providing us with a second season.
INSECURE
One thing i love?? Me some Issa Rae. From acting to producing this woman never misses. Insecure is a series about self development, friendships,romance... The character development on this show is top tier, the friendship dinamics are wholesome and honest. To watch a show where you can actually enjoy the comedy is so quick witted and relatable. Not to mention everybody casted is sexy and Netflix just added all 5 seasons.
THE GET DOWN
Any show or movie with 70s fashion, history or influence in any form is so entertaining to me, not to mention I feel like we rarely see brotherhood in the media unless they are minded by military or faturnity. This show revolves around the lives of teenagers trying to find their place in this world, inspired by music and art and the angst of leveling up their current circumstances the characters often find themselves in challenges of everyday people housing in the bronx in the late 1970s. Ezekiel Figuero's poetry pulled on my heart strings and his hopeless romantic nature hit close to home. I love this show
SHES GOTTA HAVE IT
Ms.Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) the definition of having your cake and eating it too. From art to men... to woman.Nola indulges in all of her desires rarely thinking of the consequences that might follow. She follows her passions while struggling to follow the harshness life brings with it. This show shows the reality of how following your dreams wont be a constant uphill battle but the journey is what makes everything worth it in the end.
Now lets get into the real tea.. Movies!!
A good movie to me alters my reality, creates a shift.. an awakening.
