Great Formation of Characters

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2005)

I can usually judge a movie by how long I sit and watch the credits at the end. After watching "Garden State", I sat and listened to the music, and thought about how great the movie was all the way til the screen turned blank. The writers and directors of this movie accomplished a rare task: They created a movie based on characters; characters who the viewer attaches themself to all the way to the end. If you like movies where real characters are developed within a real world, then go watch "Garden State." The movie's dialogue is witty and true, and I hope that someday its characters can sit permanently in the top 250.
