It's good to know someone's still making art

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2004)

The movie was incredible. Better than Lost in Translation, better than Eternal Sunshine, though somewhat reminiscent of both. Zach Braff is a rising star, obviously talented- funny, deep, artistic. The movie raised a poignant question about a cultural and generational crisis- pointed out the obvious and growing trend of anaesthesizing ourselves to life, which we seem to be turning a blind eye to. It was just beautiful. One of the best movies I've seen all year. Well worth seeing- refreshing, eye opening, breath taking, amazing. The sound track alone may have made the movie worth seeing. Do yourself a favor, go see it. And if its not playing in your city, preorder the DVD. It's that good. My only point of disagreement: redemption isn't found in people or in relationships--- but nothing's perfect.
In the words of Henry Miller, "The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." Braff seems to get this and the moral of this story is a variation on the theme.
