Alice, separated from her husband, goes to a club for her 40th birthday. She brings home a one-night stand, Harry, and his friends, who are in their 20s. (Specifying for the age gap fans!) For Reasons, they end up living in her guest house.
The thing I really like about this movie, separately from the shippy stuff I want to request, is the bond between the guys (Harry, George, and Teddy) and Alice’s kids. They help the kids with their school projects and have dinners and an outdoor movie night.
But! Shippy stuff! Alice and Harry are off and on. George has a thing for Alice and tries to warn her away from Harry. He doesn’t go into details, but iirc, it seems like Harry might have made a move on someone George liked back in the day, and/or he’s just kind of a player. I feel like George has a thing for Harry and doesn’t want to admit it. I’ve nominated George for Harry, George for Harry/Alice, George for Harry & Alice, and George for Harry/Original Character. I just wanna see George’s complicated feelings about Harry and possibly a peek into their past. Their living situation is so good for it, too! George struggling with seeing Harry stay overnight in the main house instead of the guest house… what’s the sleeping setup in the guest house? :eyes:…sitting next to Alice and/or Harry on a movie night…or even his feelings the night they met Alice, when he might have hoped to get lucky with her, and was jealous of one or both of them.
This is a short video game slash interactive movie completable in under 2 hours made by the creator of The Stanley Parable (also a very good meta video game I would highly recommend!).
In it, the player is taken through a number of coding experiments and unfinished mini games created by an elusive programmer known as 'Coda', with backstory and interpretations provided by the narrator, Davey. But as you go on, it slowly becomes clear that Davey's interpretations are not set in stone, and that he may not be the reliable narrator he presents himself as...
It's a really amazing work about the nature of art and interpretation - what art can mean to someone, and what making art can mean to someone, and the relationship between creator and player/reader/consumer!
Aaaand not to spoil, but it can certainly be perfect for this exchange. Depending on your interpretation :'D
It can be bought on Steam for AUS$10, but there are also streams of it on Youtube which are just as good!
