One can't help but love Jack Lemmon in The Apartment. He's such a little schmuck, but he's such a relatable and sympathetic character. The restraint and patience he shows is a real strength, even if it might look like timidness or weakness on the surface.
Exactly!! Lemmon's genius lies in his ability to evoke sympathy without demanding it; he draws us in with his humility and quiet charm, making Baxter's journey all the more compelling. His character isn’t heroic in the conventional sense, but his resilience in the face of exploitation and his decision to act when it counts elevate him to someone deeply admirable.
I will put all these movies on my watchlist they interest me with there themes
It’s great to hear that! I hope you like them all.
Great article - I love when people introduce me to films I'd likely never otherwise have heard of
Thank you! That was the goal, I hope you like them.
If I can find somewhere to buy them

I love this! Some of my favorites are before we go, lost in translation (I know it’s popular), little forest, & summer strike
These are perfect recommendations, thank you for sharing with us!! And thank you for reading as well!
I love that it includes two of my favorite films, The Apartment and Chungking Express.
I know right!! It'd be wrong of me to not include them in here, it's literally their theme.
THANK YOU!! I hope they can help you feel less lonely or alone as they did to me. 🫂🤍
