Felt like writing. Actually writing it felt like the only fitting poetic fix.

I LOVED the movie.
I love how different and real this felt compared to most hero movies. There was no scene where Sir Nicholas Winton delivered an emotional heroic speech to a crowd to get help and donations (given the time period and place they were in, that would’ve been incredibly unrealistic as freedom of speech was limited). “Show, not tell” was achieved beautifully in this film. Instead of everything working out in a night, they showed Nicky, Doreen and Trevor working long hours, racing time day and night.
Instead of Sir Winton saying he loved and cared about kids, they showed it by him photographing kids and doing everything within his power to find foster homes for them. I also loved the scene where he gives kids small pieces of chocolate and how happy the kids look during that scene. It also makes the viewers realise how small things most take for granted, such as chocolate, can be a privilege to some and how fortunate we are to have it.
I also loved how they showed Sir Winton grieving the loss of the children they couldn’t save. The producers didn’t change it to a perfect happy ending where everyone lives. Instead, they mentioned what happened to those who weren’t as fortunate, but the 669 lives they rescued are worth celebrating.
I also appreciate at the end of the movie, they told us what happened to Nicky’s friends. They weren’t just forgotten; instead, they were mentioned without too much screen time, as this movie is about Sir Nicholas Winton and the children he saved.
Oh, honey, you’ve seen nothing…
…yet
i finished season 1. i feel a lot about this. first of all THEY WENT ON A FUCKING DATE WHAT THE FUCK I CAN'T OH MY GOD
Sure…
Yeah, I know that happens to me, too, all the time.
Fanfiction just “appearing” without even searching for it. It’s like a sign from the universe.
I’ve been there, lived that, many times.
Some days you are fine, some other you find yourself accidentally reading bbc jonhlock for the first time.
To be honest, I can’t decide if I ship Sherlock and John romantically or platonically.
I’m not sure if want them to be in a romantic relationship because we need more LGBTGIA+ representation in media, and Sherlock and John’s pairing is a good idea.
A detective and his assistant, solving crimes, going on adventures and saving each other. Falling in love on the way.
But on the other hand, having them as platonic close friends shows a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities, and showing that two friends can care for each other without any romance.
Our favourite Ineffable Couple (Aziraphale & Crowley) never said “I love you” to each other. Instead, they showed their love for each other.
Actions speak louder than words.
Their love really is Ineffable “It is beyond understanding and incapable of being put into words.”
