I finished My Stand-In last night and so many thoughts and feelings are swirling in my head. I'm not good at writing or expressing feelings on "paper", but I can list a few descriptive words.
- Toxic
- Dysfunctional
- Injustice
- Controlling
- Possessive
- Needy
- Death
- Soul Reincarnation
- Second Chances
- Life Choices
- Setting Boundaries
And questions that gave me pause for reflection:
Given a second chance at life, would I live my life the same as before
What would it be like to be at my own funeral
How would it feel to see a stranger's face in the mirror and know that it's mine now
How much can people really change, in a healthy way, for good
What is the afterlife like and so many more questions...
I liked the series enough that I felt compelled to watch it as quickly as I could. There were inconsistent areas that I had to ignore though and why I couldn't rate above an 8/10.
I could never write a review! :-)
P.S.
There were moments I felt a personal connection, such as Joe's mom. She smiled, talked gently, and had a personality just like my Thai host when I was in Thailand. Also, the funeral location felt familiar, although I'm sure it wasn't the exact place. My host took me to her local temple, which was beautiful. The incense lighting, flowers, monks, sitting on the floor and so on, all bring back nice memories.
I saw another member's photos of Paris posted in the feeds. I wonder if I should post a few photos of Thailand in my feed?
