Happy Sad Man

In today's fast-paced society, it can be easy to see humans, but not the humanity. HSM reminded me of that humanity, in frankly at times, a bone-chilling, eye-welling fashion. It reminded me of our oneness, of our shared experience & our shared struggles. HSM is at the vanguard of bringing mental health into the zeitgeist, of showing men in particular, that it's okay to disarmour, to drop the machismo & be raw & vulnerable. And what greater place to start that conversation than via the silver screen. I felt the rawness & realness of all the men throughout the film, & unlike many cinematic experiences, left the experience inspired, emboldened & more empathetic for those around me, especially close ones who have also struggled with mental health. I very rarely leave a film & have the urge to immediately re-watch it, but I did with HSM. I should also note that the soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
