Like a drug

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2008)

This movie is like a drug. You watch it and you feel yourself laughing throughout the first half of the movie as it humours you a lot. Then this drug seems to wear off and at the end you feel different. Not depressed but rather enlightened. It numbs your senses.
Life is beautiful and easy. But why do we have to insist on making it difficult. The films hero Lester is unhappy but wasn't always so. He has a boring job and feels trapped every single day. Just like us all right? You know it. We cant do anything about it because this is how things are right? This is what we have to do survive and be happy right? WRONG.
You are wearing a mask and you can change your life anytime you want. Its only a choice. Lester realises this, and starts to make changes.
This movie is wonderful. Watch it you must. Hear the messages you must. Life is short, and what we do of it now is what matters because there is only this moment
