I Think This Is From The Creator Of Courage.

“Human beings appear to be the only mortal finite beings who wish to transcend their finitude. Thus they are the only emotional beings who wish not to be emotional, who wish to withhold these acknowledgments of neediness and to design for themselves a life in which these acknowledgments have no place. This means that they frequently learn to reject their own vulnerability and to suppress awareness of the attachments that entail it.”

— Martha Nussbaum, Upheavals of Thought

Buster Keaton (1928)

Buster Keaton in His Wedding Night (1917)

pen15 is honestly like really fucking funny but also really fucking hard to watch sometimes because of how they capture what it was like to be a little girl in the early 2000s, like....even the fucking weirdness of how maya masturbates lmfao, but also just the very deep kind of sadness that comes with having grown up a girl and watching it back as an adult woman

ok something about pen15 that they did really fantastically and I've never seen done before is how it showed young girl's first sexual experiences, even first kisses, as like.... upsetting. Like Anna has her first kiss and comes back to the room with her friends and starts tearing up and I found that soooo true to my own experience.

But especially the way Maya's first sexual experience is framed almost as a horror movie, and its something she just does.... and then feels shit about it.

And its the idea, and the reality, that young girls are just kind of carried along into sexual situations by boys (and men 🤢) who take advantage of their indecisiveness or unsureness, and the pressure that is on young girls and the idea that young girls don't even enjoy their sexual experiences is so fucked up!!! But it's true!! And it was brutal to watch this reflection back as an adult woman
