Old black & white films, and also old technicolor films make me feel like I am stepping into another plane of existence. They have an inherent dreamy, otherworldly vibe to them. My best theory has been that my soul knows I am watching something in which everybody involved in it is now dead (or very soon to be dead). Does anybody here have a better theory?

You learn about them as a child through osmosis but then later understand them as an adult once you can contrast them to how you survive, so there’s some overlap with liminal spoops and nostalgic romanticization.picrel’s intended effect
I get a certain feeling when watching 20s gangster flicks from america. I guess I was either incarnated back then or was a ghost floating around and liking what I saw. It's all so very goddamn familiar. Always has been.
