Experiencing sexual assault led to feelings of confusion and isolation. Initial trauma went unspoken due to a lack of self-awareness and absence of intimate friendships. Forming deeper connections and friendships later facilitated understanding and healing. Celine Song's film "Materialists" parallels these themes, portraying a character who confronts her personal struggles with love while navigating the complexities of romantic relationships. It emphasizes that true love is believed to be available to everyone, but is limited to romantic connections, reflecting broader societal views on love and fulfillment.
The first time it happened, I didn't tell anybody, not only because I didn't know there was something to tell, but also because I didn't have anybody to tell.
Unable to make sense of my own self and life, I was lonely and yearning for connection, and looking for it in all the wrong places-exclusively in romantic relationships.
When you make friends, you need to talk. You need to feel okay about talking.
"Materialists" believes that true love is out there for everybody. This love, though, is uniquely qualified: it is only romantic love.
