"Jerome never questioned my commitment again. I took my mind off the pain by reminding myself that when I'd eventually did stand up, Id'be exactly two inches closer to the stars."
Gattaca is a great film where he does exactly this.
It's one of my favorite movies of all time and has so many great quotes.
"I never saved anything for the swim back."
"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it."
The style of the movie feels timeless as well. I like how they didn't try to go crazy with fancy gadgets.
Also, it has a soft spot because I was a younger brother that always felt like he was the lesser and never belonged.
The only criticism I have is the romance piece, but the rest is just flawless to me.
One of my favorite movies that was long before it's time.
I agree. It was and is an amazing movie.
I very intentionally bought it.
I watched it at the movies and thought it was crap. Granted, I was much younger then. It's one of my favourite movies now.
"You didn't beat me that day, I beat myself."
"Who're you trying to convince?"
"You want me to prove it to you? I'll prove it to you!"
"It's not important Anton, it's forgotten."
"Want me to prove it to you?!"
"...I do."
Literally the plot to a south park episode lol
Kyle just wants to play basketball and Gerald...well Gerald wants to be the smartest mammal on Earth. That episode is hilarious.
Enjoy your uncomfortable trips on a airplane.
I feel pain just looking at the thumbnail.
I hate this so much.
All I can think of when I see these pics
Do with your own body what you will, I guess.
I don't watch videos, so I'm not going to follow the argument but I will say there does not exist people who don't give informed consent to breaking their legs. I'm sure they're very aware of the risks.
Edit: to be clear, I'm sure dysphoria can be a factor, but if they're willing to have their legs broken I imagine other types of treatment will be ineffective at relieving that dysphoria. Similar to how people are willing to get the ends of their bones chopped off and replacements hammered in once they have enough knee pain to necessitate it.
I see this as no different than that woman who was purposefully blinded by her doctor. The people seeking these surgeries need mental help, not their legs broken and being unable to walk properly for months, or years. In my mind, there's no clear health concern that allows doctors to perform this operation.
Before anyone says anything, I feel this way about most plastic surgeries and the "doctors" who perform them.
Stilts or parkour.
Slay the obstacles in your path!
