What you wish for review

 AI synopsis 

What You Wish For is a 2024 thriller film about a chef who flees to Latin America to visit his friend, Jack, and ends up assuming his identity:

• Plot: Ryan (Nick Stahl) is a chef with gambling debts who flees to a Latin American country to visit his friend Jack (Brian Groh). Ryan is surprised by the lavish lifestyle Jack has, and Jack explains he cooks exotic meals for wealthy people. However, Jack hints that the work isn't all it seems. After Jack dies by suicide, Ryan assumes his identity and takes over his life. Ryan discovers that Jack was cooking for a shady entertainment company that specializes in illegal dinner events with human flesh. 

Some say the movie is a solid thriller that's worth watching, especially if you like dark comedies. Others say the movie has suspense reminiscent of Psycho. 

Movie is worth a watch if you're a thriller horror fan

It really isn't a surprise what's going to happen, 

But is thought provoking. It does make you wonder about

 these things really happening  

which is too much to comprehend. Close to the movie Hostel 

in the way money can 

buy anything.

👍👍👍 If you're a little,lot on the dark side

Liminal Spaces in the New Year

If you’re in a psychological liminal space, you’ve moved away from something mentally familiar and comfortable and toward a new idea, perspective, personal commitment, or area of self-growth.

Liminal space images depict transitional places that are eerily empty of people, conveying a sense of "in-between". They can evoke moods of nostalgia, sadness, surrealness, or eeriness, and can elicit both comfort and unease. 

Subjects: Empty hallways, abandoned malls, nearly empty parking lots, stairwells, roads, corridors, or hotels 

Aesthetic: Eerie, uninhabited, unsettling 

Moods: Nostalgia, sadness, surrealness, eeriness 

Responses: Comfort and unease 

Time period: Often evoke the late 1980s or early 1990s - Wikipedia 

The winter holiday season is a time when liminal spaces of the mind come into play transitioning into a new year from the old.

Planning on leaving the old behind and bringing in the new. 

Sometimes leaving comfort for the unknown and sometimes leaving what was uncomfortable for a new start, with hopes of a better but unknown beginning.

Do liminal spaces give you comfort and spark your imagination or do do they create a feeling of unease. How do you feel when looking in from the outside? Excitement or dread. Something in between?

As you head out to holiday gatherings this season check your mind set and feelings and be aware when in liminal spaces of your comfort level and then think of where you are going and where you want to be.
