Funny how things go
It's strange to me when I run into a provocative movie that really makes you think. Am I odd in that some of the movies that move touched me deepest I can't stand to watch? I don't think I could ever watch that one with jim carey and kate winslet where they erase each others memory because it reminds me too much of Danielle, I can only watch American History X ever year or so, and legends of the fall perhaps every 6 months. So I just saw Garden State and it's one of those kind of movies. It was just the right time to see it and it plugged into way to many sockets that are empty right now. Movies like that get into your head and rewire things for a little while, and for a few days at least you can't shake it and it's like you're looking through someone elses eyes at your life. I've got my appartment and my job, and things are just humming along...but it feels empty, it feels....sterile. Maybe I'm just an overemotional sap having trouble resolving girl issues. The partied and alcohol soaked collegiate have it better because they don't think, at least inward, ignorance is bliss.
