"That's life. If nothing else, It's life.
It's real, and sometimes it f*ckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have"
There are certain movies that touch my soul to the core. (Haha.. sounds so hard core, right?!?)
Ok.. maybe it's not that intense... but I just really really love them and they become a part of my life.
I'll go into my thoughts about movies that change my life (in ways however huge or insignificant) another time...
Today, I want to introduce you to one of my favorite movies..... GARDEN STATE!
Not only does it take place in my home state, but it is a fantastic movie that has great dialogue, beautiful cinematography/scenes, a great soundtrack, and themes that I really relate to or that make me think.
The movie is partly autobiographical, depicting Braff's own emotions while he was writing the screenplay.
"When I wrote Garden State, I was completely depressed, waiting tables and lonesome as I've ever been in my life. The script was a way for me to articulate what I was feeling; alone, isolated, 'a dime a dozen' and homesick for a place that didn't even exist."
I think this is a great Quarter-Life Crisis movie... I like the simpleness of the movie, and the fact that if you look a little deeper, there's a whole lot more to it (Kind of like the Infinite Abyss!!!) =)
