Book to use as a way to write about single movies

 I love how David Thompson writes in moments that made the movies, that he is singling out an image, while riding with such empathy about movies. Citizen Kane was the first one I read and wow it knocked me off my feet. This is a book I'm going to read through and make notes about because I would love to write about even Punch-Drunk Love, the first time I saw the movie I laughed during the bathroom scene. For those who seen the movie you know what I'm saying, that even in cinema magic class I talked about how muffled that noise was, which allowed it also to be raised higher, that is just pure chaos as we're watching him destroy all of the things

Here is someone who is absolutely shut off by actually sharing his depression, that he seems okay and his resorted to rhetorical responses just as I had as someone who's a survivor. But here's his moment where he can't self-regulate anymore and must duck into the bathroom to let out his frustration.

It was eerily done my laugh that I was in the midst of such a situation that I couldn't allow myself that privilege of being able to destroy things to let out frustration.

I allowed things to continue bottling up.

When he returns to his date in the restaurant, it is truly humorous as he still tries to cover up what he's done.
