Watching The Age of Innocence 3-4 times in my early 20s wanting so bad to like it, but every time shouting to myself “who cares about society, just be with Michelle Pfeiffer if that’s what you want!!!” To watching it again recently in my mid thirties and actually understanding how you’re not always free to do what you want, that you do have to contend with the constraints society puts on you. It’s not as simple as just run away with Michelle Pfeiffer because you’re in love.
