Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.

Hear me out.

The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.

The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.

Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.

When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.

What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.

Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.

I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.

Well played, Mr. Wright.

Well played.

Reminding myself to try this, bc I was enjoying the little details till my now ex said talking about them annoyed her and honestly, I deserve to find the little things in life beautiful.

✨ Romanticising your life ✨

If your life seems boring and mundane, this is the mindset you need! You don't need expensive clothing, beauty products or other items for this as it is purely a switch in your thoughts and the way you view the world.

Here is my two cents on how to best do it:

Gratitude journaling Take some time at the end of the day dedicated to journaling. Have a segment on what was good that particular day. Write down small things that made you happy. (e.g. sunrays falling onto your pillow in the morning, birds chirping as you go to work, buying a new fountain pen and using it for the first time etc.)

Write a list of aesthetic moments Either match this to the aesthetic you're trying to achieve or just generally admiring moments you find aesthetic. Go over this list and look for these things and opportunities to incorporate into your day-to-day life. A list for the "that girl" aesthetic may look like this: waking up to the first sunrays of the day, the feel of a new journal, making a pretty-looking breakfast for yourself to look at only, being the first person in the gym in the morning, ink stains on your hands after journaling, pretty colour-coordinated study notes, the smell of a new book, seeing your breath in the air on an early morning run, ...

Take photos or short videos of romantic moments in your life When you have collected a number of these, make a collage or a short video to summarise all the memories. Try to look at the finished product through the eyes of a stranger. It's only a snippet of your life, viewed through this romanticised lense.

Move into the new mindset Once you have realised how many beautiful little things your life consists of, try to notice them conciously in your everyday life with or without recording them. Find the beauty and special-ness in the details and moments that pass in the blink of an eye.

At the end, don't forget that sometimes life is ugly and bad things happen and that's okay. If you can't find special moments in some or even most days, that's fine too. Sometimes our mental health just makes us blind to what's positive and some people's lives just aren't that pretty in their current circumstances.

This whole idea is only a mental exercise for more positivity, gratitude and appreciation in your life and is in no way, shape or form mandatory.
