"life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea."

tho on the surface perhaps just a movie about two boys taking a trip with a woman older than them, it's much more, and many details can very easily go unnoticed.
some of the loudest and most touching scenes were found in those silent moments where you get swept up by the realness of the film and how accurately it captures all of our lives.

this whole atmosphere that gets set up with comforting music, shots of beaches at sundown, car drives and backseat monologues, while connecting with those around, dancing and simply being alive, gave me this feeling of missing out on so many parts of life.
wishing for more, but not in an ungrateful way—instead in a more hopeful way.
that even though so much time gets wasted on unimportant activities and obligations, there is still time to experience all those moments that leave you satisfied and feeling like you truly are living, instead of just surviving through life; drifting and waiting for the day when something memorable, worth caring and sticking for, will finally happen.

louisa as a commentary on the way boys and men overlook women's troubles, issues, and their complexities as well as the obvious class differences shown in the boys' behavior get so well blended with the entire plot.
seeing as almost every scene where she was shown struggling and mourning was in solace, whereas her happiness—and sometimes even her oversexualization—was in their presence, just shows how clueless people can be when warped in their own perceptions and interpretations of others.

many scenes stuck out to me, but especially the one where tenoch and julio yell at chuy and tell him about all these unimportant happenings which they find so worth mentioning—and get no response back.
that scene completely managed to capture the selfishness and ignorance that many, especially rich, people have.
they laugh, talk about sex, while those next to them are living in poverty and are too drained to care about such silly and shallow topics.
those next to them not enjoying because of all their struggling, while the boys cheer in ignorance.

the narration sometimes drops on you and just altogether ties everything up.
same goes for these silent scenes that show poor, ruined landscapes filled with people managing just enough to survive economically.
even though the narrative of the film is mostly kept happy and light, these scenes remind us of how real life actually is.

so many movies get their "happy endings", but that is only because that's what they are—movies.
here, that is not the situation.
due to the way things work out in life, happy endings are rare.
people come and go.
those who are today dearest to us may leave tomorrow, and all we'll ever have of them are the memories we once made—whether those are the most nostalgic and beautiful or shallow and depressing ones.
in the end, none of our stories will ever be told if we don't let ourselves live through them first.

truly a wonderfully unforgettable film.

"nobody thinks in of human beings. governments don't. why should we?"

sometimes, I'll watch a movie, and while doing so, I just know that it will stick with me for quite a long time.
this was the exact case for the third man.

with its innovative use of original camerawork, a thrillingly suspenseful soundtrack and memorable dialogue, the film leads you through a cynical story so well captured, with an atmosphere so wonderfully built up, that the post-war stillness and paranoia just linger with you while watching.

a lot of other pieces of cinema I've seen fail at capturing grief, but here, it is explored very well through anna's character.
considering the timeline and its themes, it portrays strong and complex female characters.
anna could have been simply another shallow, unintelligent, and underdeveloped character, used as a love interest for the male lead, but she is the exact opposite.
due to her grief, she is shown as a strong-willed, smart, incredibly loyal but often sad character which makes her feel more realistic.

holly, the main character, undergoes a significant transformation throughout the film.
he starts off as a dismissive author and ends up as a man so fed up with trying to discover the truth and find justice that he eventually takes the situation into his own hands, while even crossing his own morals to achieve it.
this side of his character works as a way of showing him maturing, as he sees the true faces of people— even those he once thought dearly of, while he betrays them and his old self in a way.

though the third man came out 70 years ago, its ultimate meaning is still applicable today.
profiting off others and living in greed, without empathy for those around, are not traits that should be ired but instead condemned.
the life of crime leads to nothing worthwhile, making even the smallest actions we take significant in their larger impact.
other than that it focuses on the nature of evil amongst humans and the dilemma that one must face when confronted with issues of justice and redemption.

a must-see classic.
