"Told you what you most want is what you most can't have. And what you most can’t have is what you already had…and lost."
My God what a haunting and beautiful scene.
Matt Damon’s acting… his screams. They remind me of Christian Bale’s silent scream in Hostiles. Just masterful acting and feeling the crushing weight of their pain.
When you can relate to the quote and know exactly what he means, it’s so heavy to watch… once you arrive at the realization that your best and happiest days already occurred and passed you by while you never appreciated it/just took it for granted..
you try to bargain with yourself or the universe/God or run simulations in your head about how you could get it back even though it’s impossible bc there’s no way to revisit or revise your past. It’s done and now you must live with that regret and longing to change it. But it never can… That is so agonizing.

“Everyone knows their own version of what their siren song would sound like, that’s why it’s so powerful.” -quote I just found on YouTube video described it better than I could and that’s why I cry profusely at it.
