If you could only ever watch one film-this should be it!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2006)

I bought Garden State on a bit of a whim. I read about the Soundtrack containing Coldplay, The Shins and Frou Frou-all bands I love!-and so I decided to buy it!
I'm about to turn twenty this year and I have no real direction in my life, so from the first scene I was hooked. Large was me!
I don't think some people will understand Garden State, I think it takes an "outsider" to really understand and appreciate exactly what it is Graden State is trying to say. It's dark comedy is perfection, one minute you're laughing, the next you're crying. It's a roller-coaster of emotion just like life. Zach Braff's speech about home touched every part of me. We spend forever looking for the home we lost as a child. He is so in tune with everything it's amazing, he's a true credit to the film industry and should be recognised for it!!
The end scene, set to Frou Frou!!, was just spine-tingling. The fact that he is recognising it could all go wrong but he just can't spend any more of his life without her in it is truly beautiful!! Everyone should take the plunge in that way with relationships. As Frou Frou would say "Jump In, well, what you waiting for?"
For anyone who hasn't seen this-everyone that feels lost in their life-everyone that needs comfort...Please...watch Garden State!
