oversized coat

As I suspected, the size of the oversized coat was explained by the crooked of Photoshop. His silhouette was cut out, taking a fair amount of "margin" from a piece of dark space behind him. In fact, he's just as terribly skinny here as I am. I think it's time for me to throw my complexes in the trash and come to terms with my shortcomings. lmao

I want to thank you @faisonsunreve for tagging me to this absolutely wonderful movie meme! I enjoyed that it made me really think over the choices, e.g. which movie I regard as overrated or underrated (this was actually the most trickiest question and it makes me smile that I finally ended up with a movie that isn’t mainstream at all, so it isn’t generally highly regarded in the first place, but to my knowledge, it’s one of the poorest ones among the Hammer film fans as well). Another almost impossible question was the ‘great soundtrack’, which for me is the same as if I should name a great movie. In order to have some structure, I made a playlist of my all time favorites and was constantly swearing to myself because of the challenge. I had a great rival from 2014, but my choice went finally to 1960s France as I wanted to pay my respect for those legends. For the ‘cinematography’, I knew that it would more likely be a Visconti film. My absolute favorite question was ‘why do I like this?’! 😄

It sure will take time, but if anyone feels like it, please, make your own list and tag me! In any case, I’d very much like to see your choices: @electricnormanbates @serenastella ( @suchamiracle-does-exist, are you ready to show me yours? 😎)
