War Thoughts

Unpopular opinion - saltburn is a lesser version of the talented Mr Ripley.

I watched the latter in October 2023 absolutely adoring it, and seeing saltburn now is... Disappointing. A bit. It's a good film! Just clearly had TTMR in mind when shot and written.

Has anyone encountered the phenomenon of people pretending to read?

I was chatting with a girl and we were speaking about Kafka. She claimed to really love his work and even that she visited his residence in Prague, yet when I asked what she read she said she hadn't read his stories yet... Is that common?

Stay yourself, stay curious

I was walking down the main street of my town when I came by my favourite vintage book shop - it was closed, but they have a little free section outside of the shop (it's just books lying on the pavement...) And I found THIS. I am feeling blessed.

(added the Prada perfume as an ironic little detail, and it's even more ironic that the fragrance is awful.)

AS A PERSON MAJORING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT --

This is a really good observation! Haven't thought of it myself but it makes sense. Eve is also blamed throughout Genesis for the original sin heavily, whole people don't take into account Adam's autonomy in consuming the fruit. I actually think their roles are opposite - Camilla resembles Adam way more than Eve and Charles is similar to Eve. Charles is way more vocal and active in the group's activities while Camilla is very much a part of the bacchanal and such but is more reserved and manipulative. Camilla is also hinted to blame Charles behind his back to Henry for multitudes of things, which correspondences with Adam blaming Eve for the original sin.

Sorry if my English is rusty, I read Genesis in Hebrew so maybe my texts are different from the translations.

reading some philosophy today and…

Bruh—am I stupid, did everyone catch this or am I smart? Idfk, but…Charles  and Camilla… prettttyyy sure they’re symbolic of Adam and Eve. The orphaned—“parentless”—incestuous twins makes sense now. Thanks philosophy and religious studies.

(Eve is made from the rib of Adam=sort of like the “twin of him”. Explains some of her nature too.)

David: Oh no, my nemesis's son, my current enemy, is dead! Oh, the Tragedy! Yoav, how could you?? D':

Also David: *ordered said assassination*

No one understands me like Yuval Mendelssohn does 💔

I'm currently filling an admission to a VERY prestigious religious - studies program, and I was requested to write about a piece of media which influenced me as a person.
