Four Favorites with Laufey
Transcript
I dream of this moment, and I I fear I won't be able to to live up to it. Okay. An American in Paris. I am a big fan of golden age musicals and golden age films. I think American in Paris really speaks to me because it has ballet in it, a lot of classical music. George Gershwin is, like, my favorite composer ever. It's such a treat for the eyes, the setting in Paris, but all the costumes, the dance breaks. Whenever I'm feeling a lack of inspiration, I go back to it and I watch it and I feel full of inspiration. The Incredibles. It's just really fun and it's really well done. I love this story. It's really chic. The mid century architecture is so chic to die for. I'm like, I wanna move into their house. You've good mail. I mean, we are here on the Upper West Side, so this all feels very appropriate. For me, it's just like the ultimate comfort film. I grew up watching it. I love the soundtrack, the push and pull, the friends to lovers of it all. It's it's kind of a perfect film. And I love I love Tom Hanks and I love Meg Ryan. I think it's perfect. Past lives. The what if of it all. Like, going bad, revisiting a relationship that you left when you were younger that you didn't see all the way through. It twists the heart in a really specific way. There's is not a single word that is said in the film that shouldn't be but there's not too much better, if that makes sense. Everything is just in place, the setting of New York City. I'm I guess, like, the New York City films are top of mind. Amazing. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. You say you weren't ready, but I kinda feel like you were. I feel like you scrubbed it. I can't believe this worst my moment, but I'm so happy. This is huge.
