The Long Goodbye

1973

Liked Rewatched

Hazy cynicism with smooth humor and smooth vibes, it's hard to not love The Long Goodbye as an antithesis of many noir tropes.

This film defines what it feels like to be growing up and maturing in the 2010s. It's an overwhelmingly beautiful, emotional, and fragile story. Almost a send-off for the decade.

Yes, there is a LOT of modern music- Frank Ocean, Tame Impala, Kanye West, Tyler the Creator, Radiohead- yet it all adds a level of style and relatability. Perhaps it's a love letter to generation z (haha cringe haha) I don't know.

All else I can say is that I…
