- If I live to be in my 80s, I'm probably going to become that old dude telling corny jokes at the mall, except I'll be reciting old memes from the 2010s.
- That young couple at the fair were pretty adorable. Even though I don't know them personally, I hope they're still together.
- I also liked those old dudes playing dominoes in the mall. Kinda looks like a fun time by elderly people standards tbh.
- I wish I could believe in heaven as easily as that guy in the motorised wheelchair near the beginning.
This is the kind of thing I might've found really boring if I was in a different mood, but I quite liked it. No logical reason why I dug something like this but hated the much-loved Grey Gardens, for example, which Jasper Mall is a little reminiscent of, in some ways.
It achieved and sustained an odd sense of melancholy that was quite unique; never depressing exactly, and not necessarily nostalgic, but never quite happy, either.
As a result, it was one-note (likely by design) and a little repetitive, but I have a feeling it could stick with me for a while, thanks to the quiet but admittedly unique emotions it made me feel while I watched it.
