What goes around comes around

What does that really mean in real life?

I see many people getting away with horrible acts instead of being punished for it. Isn't that unfair?!?!

The expression doesn't really live up to its own, does it?

Movies with this vibe

This is a movie called About Time.

It doesn't need to be a love story. It's just this aesthetic, documentary-like type of movie.

Silver Linings Playbook is also a very good one for me.

A Clockwork Orange (1971) is a masterpiece

I recently watched it and got completely amazed by it.

A man agrees to get a recently discovered treatment to go back into society, since he's in jail for killing someone, as he deliberately goes through torture to get what he wants. He just doesn't expect that it would actually work...

It's got such a rare aesthetic going on there, and it's so pleasing to pay attention to it. All the details and the outline of it. It's a real showcase of what a movie should be like...personally speaking.

I wish I could watch more movies like that. If anyone could suggest, I'd really appreciate it.

[IIL] movies like: About Time (2013); Silver Linings Playbook (2012); P2 (2007)

It's more than a genre. I don't mean love-based stories. It's this kind of rare aesthetic found in 00s movies, but not necessarily from this decade only.

I noticed that most of the times the camera is not perfectly centralized, and it feels like it's moving naturally, as if I'm right there with the actors.

But it's not a rule.

Some other examples would be:

A clockwork orange (1971)

Lost in Translation (2003)

No Country for Old Men (2007)

Whiplash (2014)

Incendies (2010)

These are just some examples.

I can't really explain why, but all of these movies feel the same to me, as if they had the same vibe, even though they are all different from each other.

Are they too old for this generation?

I'm only 20, but damn, music really got no age. To be honest, I don't like every song from this album, but for the ones I do I just...no words...

Is this a good method for learning vocab?

Don't mind the bad handwriting, it's not even my real one. Practicality over aesthetics...

Any songs with smart vocal layers and harmonies, or simply...good?

I'm a huge fan of this topic, but it's not like I'm gonna enjoy songs just because it's full of it. It makes me really bored (sometimes).

Here are some examples of what's appealing to me:

Officially missing you - Tamia

Amor I love you - Marisa Monte

Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra

Kites are fun - The Free Design

Would I lie to you? - Charles & Eddie

Outside - Mariah Carey

Chega de saudade - Quarteto em Cy

Leave it - Yes

This boy - The Beatles

Desafinado - Os Cariocas

You're always on my mind - SWV

How deep is your love - Bee Gees

Happy together - The Turtles

There is definitely more to add to this list, but anyway...

I don't have a specific taste, I just want good vocal arrangement yk, as if every vocal placement is supposed to mean something, like it's there for a reason.
