If you don’t care, don’t bother trying to save them — let them go and make that mistake until they learn it of their own volition — or their own friends can shoulder tap them and put them straight. It is for them and reserved for close friends and bonds.
LOST IN TRANSLATION
Jules

I’m working on this right now! I do care, but I still have to let people I love make their own mistakes and it is not easy! Now I know how my mom felt watching me as a teenager.


Your perception of the beginning is so laser-sharp, so articulate, so erudite, that I must watch this movie again (preferably with you if you weren’t so far away) so you could explain every nuance that I missed and as a result was underwhelmed.

Your version of the film is so much more compelling and mesmerizing than what I actually watched — I obviously wasn’t paying attention. AND just in case you didn’t know, my amazing Jules, you are a fucking magnificent writer. I do not throw that out as a casual compliment or aside. I mean you are a truly magnificent writer and I would buy any book you wrote and pay full price for the hard cover. Seriously.
