by

In the climactic scenes of “On Swift Horses”, the two realms significantly influenced by Julius, portrayed by Jacob Elordi, intersect. This occurs when Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Henry (Diego Calva), the individuals with whom Julius had the deepest connections, encounter each other at the same hotel. After a touching dance, they exchange cryptic messages expressing their unrequited affection for this shared love interest, culminating in a poignant circular resolution. Curious about its significance, I probed the director, who explained why it’s an essential scene in the movie despite not being in the source material.

Word has it, come mid-May, Galaxy Digital hopes its weary shares will parade onto the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The press release—written as if anyone reads them for fun—reports the target is May 16, provided all “regulatory boxes” are ticked. One wonders how many boxes there are.
