‘Your Name Engraved Herein’ Review: When Love Is All You Can See (Published 2020)

to his parents was shown in the movie, because it was not shown as unimportant to him, but for the most part it did not portray a big role in the story, which I think is really different from gay stories I have seen in western media.

majority of the movie I could not tell who was in a relationship and who was just friends, so I think I might have missed some parts if the story line, despite that the movie did a really great job at conveying the emotions of the characters. I also thought it was interesting how A-Han coming out+

to a school that even remotely resembles a catholic school. I still cried throughout most of the movie, but for the most part I could not pinpoint a specific reason why the story made me this sad. I also think I missed many of the social cues and context for many of the scenes, like for the +

To me it was hard relating to the experience of the characters from my own experiences, since I am not a gay man and I have never lived in a country that has banned my sexuality. I also have never lived under martial law or gone +

And I do think digital media and games can be beneficial for children and there is a lot that can be learned by playing, but children should be taught appropriate ways to use digital products.

I read this article about this child Matthew being #addicted to #videoGames. The article describes how Matthews mother discovered that her son was addicted and her journey in helping him quit. This article resonated with me because I recognized some of the signs+

portrayed in 'Dad where are we going' seemed somewhat healthier than what is happening in movies where men just kill each other for #honor (there really has to be a better way to resolve a conflict that is caused only by someone protecting their honor)

In the show 'Dad where are we going' men are portrayed kind of differently from men in #martialArts movies. Like sure they still have to be kind of strong and protect their children but now since there are children involved they also have to be gentle and educate +

for boys to grow up with. You have to be strong and become a soldier to defend our country otherwise we will have a national #crisis! Honestly this just seems like a very #dramatic and unnecessary way to deal with that even if it was a crisis, which to be honest I highly doubt.

time off #work be role models to their sons right. Wrong the solution to boys not behaving like '#men' is to send them to boot camps that are very heavily inspired by #militaryTraining, because that makes sense and is totally not weird at all. Seems like a really healthy set of expectations +

But then their idea about being masculine is just based on physical strength and like not showing emotions and so on. So the obvious solution would be to make campaigns for fathers and grandfathers to get more involved in raising their sons and grandsons and to make laws so #dads can take +

Honestly, the concern that Chinese people have over the #masculinity of their sons is really confusing to me. Because apparently people are concerned, that #boys that are raised without a male role model will not grow up to be masculine. Which has some kind of logic to it, maybe.+

that has very little connection to the original foods, recipes and traditions.

as that leads to generalizations and mass production processes that diminish the authenticity of the food. Additionally I think that it's possible that in the wake of #Globalization many local authentic foods get lost in the wake of global trends and mass produced general everything, +

are the main customers in those areas. Still I believe that there is authentic food in every country, like when a family cooks their family recipe, with the local ingredients available to them, that should be called authentic. But I don't think it's possible to sell authentic food on a large scale,+

I think that #CulinaryAuthenticity exists in every country, but likely not when some central government gets involved or the food gets some economic value. Like around the world the food around tourist spots is known to not really be authentic, but rather adjusted to the taste of the tourists, that+

enabled her to see that she wasn't a different kind of person compared to 'pretty' people, which was empowering to her, so the real #empowerment occurred when she accepted herself completely even without #makeup.

Because in the beginning she was more confident while she was wearing #makeup compared to how confident she was without #makeup and that insecurity about her makeup-less persona still translated into the way she viewed herself while wearing #makeup. So in the end I believe that wearing #makeup +

in the later part of the story and the real empowerment was the fact that she was able to meet people who liked her the way she is with or without makeup. And those experiences is what ultimately gave her the most confidence, because she was able to be confident in her whole self. +

I still believe that her being able to do her #makeup in a way that gives her confidence is something that is empowering her to go out and meet new people without the fear of being judged or bullied by them. On the other hand I think that the #makeup is not what gave her that confidence +

I read the #Webtoon #TrueBeauty when I was a teenager and I remember thinking of the main character as very relatable to me. Back then I thought of her ability to transform herself into a 'pretty persona' as something super awesome and that I also wanted to be able+

And the cherry on top is the fact that Trump actually believed he sold so many tickets and boasted about it on #socialMedia. I love #kpopFans. This was great.

they gained by buying #concertTickets and organising events and other stuff in support of their #idols. Seeing their #networks and #skills getting used for such a good cause was great.
