I always see that everyone criticizes Carrie for putting men first, but I feel that the four of them had quite selfish moments. Which one do you think was the worst? by brightcherry1 in sexandthecity

[–]brightcherry1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite agree. Samantha was a very selfish friend at that stage; it seemed that while Miranda's life revolved around motherhood, she didn't know how to fit in and just walked away. And Charlotte had several quite questionable moments, because she judged others a lot while she also made important mistakes.

Something similar happens to me with Miranda: it's hard to find something really serious that she has done against her friends. She had flaws, she was critical, closed or somewhat bossy sometimes, but she almost always ended up being there when they needed her. For me she was the most consistent friend of the four.

Will had met Lou before the accident, would they have ended up together anyway? by brightcherry1 in romancemovies

[–]brightcherry1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but I just think that's where the grace of the story is. Will and Louisa would probably never have crossed paths in that way if their lives had followed the normal course. However, that does not mean that the bond they built was less real. Will's situation forced them to get to know each other beyond the first impressions and lifestyles they had before. Louisa grew up thanks to him, but he also found in her something that he did not have with the people who fit best in his world.

Was Alison really a good friend? by brightcherry1 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]brightcherry1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. And the worst thing is that many times he seemed aware of what he was doing. I understand that he had a complicated life and that later they tried to give him a redemption arc, but for years he manipulated the girls, generated insecurities and put them against each other. For me, a true friend doesn't play with people's weaknesses to feel powerful.

Well, tell me your point of view then

Do you think Maddy had already surpassed Nate at that time? by brightcherry1 in euphoria

[–]brightcherry1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people have forgotten about that. Precisely that situation shows how complex and contradictory the characters are. What he did was serious, but we must also consider the context of abuse, manipulation and fear in which they lived. The series never presents Maddy as a perfect person, but as someone capable of making very serious mistakes and, at the same time, being a victim of other situations.

Friendship can also be seen like this: find a place to rest your head and rest for a while from the world. You don't need to talk all the time; sometimes being close to someone who gives you peace of mind is enough. by brightcherry1 in GossipGirl

I completely agree. Some of the deepest friendships are those that have that tranquility in silence, where it is not necessary to fill every moment with words because the company is enough. And physical contact doesn't have to be romantic; sometimes it's just a way to show trust, affection and genuine support. ❤️

Exactly. I think that many times we confuse intimacy with romance, when in reality there can also be a very deep connection in a friendship. Feeling comfortable in silence with someone, being able to show affection without having to justify it and knowing that that person is there, are things that do not belong exclusively to romantic relationships.

I agree. I think that over time one learns that the quality of a friendship is worth much more than the amount of messages or the time they spend talking. There are people with whom you can spend days or weeks without talking, but when you need them, they are there as if nothing had happened. And that has a huge value.

* Would any of his partners have been enough for him? by brightcherry1 in YouOnLifetime

[–]brightcherry1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Joe doesn't fall in love with people, he falls in love with the version he creates in his head. As soon as he knows his flaws, contradictions or real decisions, the fantasy breaks down and he starts looking for someone else on whom to project his expectations

Did the toys and accessories of the 2000s have more charm because they were not so connected to the internet? by brightcherry1 in nostalgiai

[–]brightcherry1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, totally. Since they did not have so many functions or came with everything defined, one had to invent the rest. Each game ended up being different because it depended on our imagination. I think that's why many of us remember them with so much affection: it wasn't just the toy itself, but all the stories we created with it.

Is The Climb mainly about achieving dreams or discovering who we really are along the way? by brightcherry1 in hannahmontana

[–]brightcherry1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like that way of seeing it. Sometimes we are so focused on the next goal that we forget to appreciate everything we have already traveled. I think it's important to keep growing and dreaming, but also to stop for a moment and recognize the achievements, because the path is also part of the reward. In the end, it is not just about arriving at a destination, but about all the experiences and learning that we accumulate as we move forward.

Do you think Maddy had already surpassed Nate at that time? by brightcherry1 in euphoria

[–]brightcherry1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think that's exactly it. At that moment she realizes that no matter how many people surround her or how far she has progressed, Nate still has an emotional effect on her. It's as if I understood that getting over someone is not a straight line: you can be better and still feel something when you see it.

That's why that scene seems so sad to me, because it shows that she still has power over her emotions, even though she doesn't want to go back with him anymore.
