πŸ–€ I’m the son of Filipino immigrants. My parents are the American dream and I get to reap the benefits of it. This week, a little of that dream was taken away yet again. I can’t fix this. But what I can do is help cope somehow. I use movies as therapy β€” in addition to regular therapy (go to therapy, ya’ll). I hope this helps you cope. My first recommendation is this clip.

Next, I’m sharing my five films of 2020. You can see the first half of my top ten films of 2020 here. I was thinking about what these films have in common, and then I realized they all comment on some facet of 2020: isolation, mortality, racial and economic inequality, the American dream.
