Such a great commentary on romance and love as stakes, sis. And truly this soundtrack is still in heavy rotation for me. “Nothing Even Matters” will always make me feel tingly. 🥰
Do you think the medium or the fact that it was a movie allows for romantic heroines and heroes to make bigger more grandiose mistakes than in a book? Does a book feel maybe more intimate, more like a conversation between one reader and one author? I don't know, but that's such a good point about the types of things he did that were ultimately forgivable
This is something I'm still thinking about. I'm writing about perspective, so that's been on my mind lately. I do think film makes it easier to distance yourself from a flawed character and follow their story with more objectivity than a novel. In books, the line between you and the character is very thin.
Now I want to watch this movie again. It was one of my faves along with Love and Basketball.
You should! It was so interesting to rewatch after all this time. I'm thinking about doing the same thing with Boomerang.
Hands down I still rock out to “Sweetest Thing” and “Summthin Summthin”. Love those songs. Truly they are evergreen.
Aren't they? Is this when we all fell in love with Maxwell?

Oh, me too. If a perfect song exists, that's one of them.
“Nothin Even Matters” has been following me in cafes, love that song🥰 I will be watching Love Jones for the first time!
Oh, that it such a good song. And I'd love to hear your thoughts after you watch it!
Definitely — your post was a wonderful read ❤️ stay tuned! 📺
