I'm going to be murdered by a brain in a jar while sleeping, aren't I?

Wait... PLOT TWIST: Are you a brain in a jar?

(Obligatory stupid joke time is now over.)

Ok. You have good taste and you know it. In fact, you use your taste and other powers of discernment like a royal scepter to faithfully decree where and with whom you will dedicate your considerable intellectual energies. But there's something else. Something I don't think you speak much about. It's there in all three of your choices. I don't exactly know how to express it... like, aesthetic beauty affects you deeply.

Argento is creepy and masterful, yes. But his frames are so elegantly composed. The dramatic lighting, the vibrant color palette... it's like they make the horror more piercingly poignant. Waking Life. Life's f*cking depressing. But the amazing grace and beauty of the graphics gives that double edge to the narrative so that you feel like you're slowly bleeding...but it kind of feels good. Oh, and of course you chose the gritty beauty of Lost Children. You probably hate the fairy tale designer luxury of Amelie. Again, you seem to enjoy this idea of beautiful suffering or poignant disillusion.

So, I'd wager it's not the happily ever ending you are after. No. You want a soul mate in your existential battle against delusion. A warrior, but one who can appreciate the grim beauty of blood pooling into a puddle on the floor. That's a pretty high bar, girl.

What I would say is, find a balance. Taking the time to appreciate or accept the things that you normally cannot stand does not diminish you. I also don't like sweet, happy-ending stuff. But it has its place. It will be difficult to find a partner who both shares your philosophical and aesthetic tastes, and who feels free enough from your judgment in order to invest in deep trust.

I'm totally off, aren't I?

I was ready to mock how wrong you were, but that was actually spot on. Except for the end, because I already realized that a while ago and found a balance in the painfully beautiful absurdity of it all. Old habits die hard though.

Edit: Yi is a warrior but he has terrible taste and he's kind of a romantic. I just mock him for it, but also think it is kind of adorable how he will try to get me to dance with him, celebrate a holiday or get me to enjoy a walk on the beach at sunset. I roll my eyes, but I still go with him.

He has a good brain, if you lead him the right path. Like allow me to bring him down to China town for some beautiful pek King ducks . He might get it for free for speaking Chinese . Magic of languge.
One of the Boss wants to marry his girl from the family to me. Everytime I go watch movie he invites me to eat for free

Memoires of a Geisha

You are extremely friendly, cute and respond quickly to private messages... oh wait, your movies, right? Right, right...

You are a time traveler. A migrant soul. Fantasy is something real and important to you. You find the experience of the exotic as something intoxicating. This site is actually a good resource for you. You should live a life of travel.

The movies you chose are all quite nostalgic. Marking the passing of some sort of golden age, including innocence. But I wouldn't say you are particularly nostalgic or cynical. No, maybe the link has to do with the elaborate beauty and design of these bygone worlds. Gothic/Classic fetish? I think the appeal for you is to reach out, to touch, to sensually experience the past, the foreign or the exotic. Marble and velvet and warm skin appeal to you in an powerfully erotic sense.

Your boyfriends love you because of your sensual nature. So it's up to you to choose wisely for your own satisfaction. I would warn you about this: don't fall for the exotic beauty of appearances over genuine substance. For example, I could recommend much grittier but less romantic and formulaic versions of all the movies you cited above. Try Clair Denis' Trouble Every Day. It's a modern vampire story by a woman director, sensual, but also brutal, bloody and tragic. Also, Mizoguchi told the story of geisha's more authentically and tragically and not from a white person's point of view in Sisters of Gion.

Don't surrender the power of your imagination or sensuality; but risk losing your beautiful illusions if they can be replaced by hard truths.
