There are still a few movies to be released (https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/2024), but it's still probably a good time to have a look at the best movies from 2024 and discuss them.

There will be similar threads on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, and probably !animation@lemm.ee

Feel free to comment with the movies you liked the most, ideally one comment per movie so that other people can chime in and discuss.

Tap for spoilerThe other main character advocates for committing suicide as the answer to their predicament.

All bodies feel like a prison. They get old and ache some don't provide the right chemicals or their brains hurt them. It's not a problem only belonging to the trans community and the other main character seems predatory while the main character is beyond reach and does absolutely nothing the whole film.

I can relate to the message but the message was bad from my perspective and the execution not better. Maybe because it's so incredibly pointed that I don't get it but that doesn't make it any better that it's for a specific audience and everyone else is left stranded. I got the message I just thought it poorly faced it.

Tap for spoileri didn't see it as suicide at all but rather as accepting the death of their former self. Trans people refer to their old identity as a dead name after all. 'sides rebirth is a common trope in a hero's journey wherein you come out of hell (the ground) changed for the better
