So, Shane and I went to see Garden State. I really liked it. I realized that I laughed through a lot of it. And Laura said that she thought that it would be appropriate for a discussion group with Canterbury Northwestern at some point. Though, it did take a big part of the movie to figure out why she would say that.
However, the coolest part is that Zach Braff has a blog!
Now…the debate of the end…(I will ruin it if you haven’t seen it)
Right after the movie, I had the feeling that I didn’t like the end. I thought that it was a basic, obvious way to end a movie. That he copped-out on it. That he just went with the “girl and guy together”. I couldn’t believe that he was in a healthy enough place to begin the relationship – we all know that one needs to be in balance in order to have a relationship.
Upon further reflection, perhaps that was my own stuff – and that maybe he had gotten to a great enough place. Perhaps he was in a good enough place in knowing that he “is okay” and can begin a new place in his life.
So – I’ll probably see it again. I wonder where I’ll be at then – what I’ll think about it another time around.
