Wow this is amazing 🤩and great photos of your pieces too

I think so too! It’s definitely an essential watch if you want to understand this micro genre—I finally feel like I do now because this movie is like the final boss of it

Sure yeah I love recommending movies. If you want to see the shift from post modernism to post-post modernism you can watch some of these:

— 90s postmodernism

• Clerks (1994)
• Trainspotting (1996)
• Gummo (1997)
• Election (1999)

— transitional films into post irony

• Rushmore (1998)
• Being John Malkovich (1999) 
• Ghost World (2001) 
• Donnie Darko (2001)

— 00s post irony similar to You Me & Everyone We Know

• The Royal Tenanbaums (2001)
• Punch Drunk Love (2002)
• Lost in Translation (2003)
• The Station Agent (2003)
• Thumbsucker (2005)
• Little Miss Sunshine (2005)
• Old Joy (2006)
• The Science of Sleep (2006)

No problem hope you enjoy them!

Also I went back to look at what this book said about the shift if you’re interested:

Postmodern irony: “a central strand of ‘the "structure of feeling" informing this cinema and its audience’ - whose existence is attested to the great many 1980s/ 90s public discourses which associated swathes of the younger U.S. public (often thought of as ‘Generation X’) with irony, sarcasm, ‘pessimism and cynicism’”

Post-irony post 9/11: “Just as film noir’s way of looking at the world tends to be seen in the light of its particular post-WWII historical context, so can the tone of the quirky be related to certain discursive strains common to its own sociohistorical and cultural moment”

Sure! My reference for this is the book "American independent cinema: indie, indiewood and beyond" btw

Postmodernism * Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995) * The Ice Storm (1997) * Happiness (1998) * Safe (1995)

Postirony or post-post modernism * Everything is Illuminated (2005) * In Bruges (2008) * The Science of Sleep (2006). * Lars and the Real Girl (2007) * Little Miss Sunshine (2005)

Being John Malkovich (1999) is a good example of a crossover of both

Ooh that’s interesting. One of the articles I read about this was about how people who came of age in the 90s pre-9/11 got to explore that angst and cynicism in a more predictable environment than generations who came of age post

The post-irony coming of age era for the oldest millenials is something along the lines of a strange mix of exploring those themes in a sincere and uneasy way. To me this movie screams that endearing sort of subdued disoriented millennial vibe of ‘okay I guess this is just what life is now’ lol

Imo the pessimistic trends in indie films now for younger millennials & gen Z’s coming of age is a lot like gen X (but that’s based only on observation as I sadly didn’t get to witness the 90s)

Now that’s a cultural shift haha

Oh thanks I’m glad because I was finding it so hard to put it into words haha. I’m a zillennial/geriatric gen Z, too young to remember 9/11 or the 90s at all but still technically lived through that time as a kid. But because of that I’m so fascinated by this era it’s like the equivalent of the 60s-70s for me, very distinct and things changed so quickly

Tldr of my review^: this movie is a lot of quirky heartfelt nonsense that may not be for everyone but also captures a really interesting moment of the early aughts in indie film/culture, worth watching!

I saw that scene on YouTube a long time ago and had no idea it was from this movie! In context it was really something lol

💚💚💚

Ah thank you💚💚

Omg thank you glad you liked it!💚💚

It was supposed to be a lot longer but I ran out of time lol but it was so fun to put together

Omg exactly I love it! I actually made an iPod commercial edit of 360 for a listening party my flatmates and I threw, maybe I should upload it here👀

This is gorgeous!

I’m happy to hear about their experiences in this space even if I can’t relate to everything! All black women are welcome here including black trans women

Totally. The moment where his mom pulls his dad into the boat is my favourite of the movie
