Garden State:Let go..Jump in..

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2005)

What a wonderfully haunting film. Zach Braff's character zombie shuffles through doorways,sun bleached rooms,the clatter of noise around him...until like all of us at one time ..are called back home into old battle with our name on it. His brilliant use of soft mist turned to light drizzle turned to downpour is one wonderful metaphor. I am a 50 year old who watched this film with my twenty something daughter.("Large" talks of his mother's love in wiping his nose on her sleeve..you totally get this when you have a child you love) Both of us were knocked out by scenes and music that shook the core of us although for different reasons our ages understand. The last minutes of Garden State will make you cry from pure joy.Listen to the music and watch all those symbols in the final downpour. Let go..jump into this film.
