I just saw GARDEN STATE and I am a HUGE fan. This kind of movie is right up my alley...it's my type of film. It's quirky, it's funny, it's aboot a twentysomething dealing with the reality of his life and learning to take control over what matters. The movie just speaks to me. I can totally relate to the themes and the ideas that it brings up. I'm all aboot the realization of self right now. The movie is just awesome. It just might be one of the best films I've seen this year...actually, let me re-phrase that. I'd say it is one of the top two movies I've seen this year...the other one being HERO. But I can't say one is better than the other because they are two very different movies. The more I think of it, the more I LOVE this movie. It's so sincere and has just enough of those offbeat moments to make it feel realistic, funny, and something you can relate to. And all the little jokes are so subtle. Zach Braff doesn't beat you over the head with them over and over like most directors do today. I must say I am truly impressed with him and his directorial debut. He wrote it too. It kind of makes me a bigger fan of his. He and Natalie Portman are just so charmingly quirky...I love it. She's adorable in this movie. Oh! And the soundtrack...there are so many good songs on the soundtrack. I want it now! But it won't be released until tomorrow...hmmm. This is one of those films that remind me why I love movies so much. It's these kinds of thought-provoking movies that make me want to continue to work in this business. If I could be a part of creating a movie like this, then it would all be worth it. I think there is some truth in what I'm saying...this is the core of what drives me to this business...but maybe I'm going a little overboard...maybe it's just because I really enjoyed this movie and felt like I could relate to these characters...I don't know...take it however you want. I just loved it. I keep thinking about it...I'm replaying all these scenes in my head...shoot, I'm writing a blog aboot it! Man! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Everyone must go see it...NOW!
Whoa, I just read those last few sentences...and eesh...can you tell I'm going through a "what do I do with my life?" crisis?
