Cycle

Two wise men once said, "Not everything means something, but something could be everything, and everything may mean nothing, but if everything meant nothing, it wouldn't be something.... and the cycle continues." This was a conversation I had today with a friend. It probably has been said before, but this is the first time I dealt with it. The beginning of the quote was a realization of mine when I was just watching movies, and thinking about life. I've had this idea that everything meant something, but it is not a good way to live life. It causes someone to think WAY TOO MUCH! Which is not good at all, and ends mind numbing results. It is just interesting. Today I watched two films that were deep and in depth in their own ways. I watched A History of Violence. In that, the two personalities form the one person. One is always present, but the other one is present in blood. That is when he comes to life, which is much like Dexter, because as he always says, he was born in blood. The film overall was great. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. The next film I watched was Garden State. I love that film because of richness in the story. It is a very strong story on a deep emotional level. Zach Braff wrote, directed, starred in, and chose the music for this film. He won best new director at a film festival as well as won an award for music. The story is of a character coming to life after 18 years of being numb. That sounds odd, but it makes sense when the film is viewed. The camera work is very provocative. It reveals a lot about the story, while adding to the underlying layers. I really enjoy this movie, and would highly recommend it to others. There is one quote from the film that had a gratifying effect. "If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna take a whole lot longer than you'd like it." This is true. Quickly something about Dexter... WATCH IT. It is amazing. The new season is unreal and Michael C. Hall definitely win an award for his acting this season. The character is feeling and dealing with many things he is not used to, and it is just amazing to see it on TV. It's just an amazing show. Well I guess tonight's post was strictly critiques of films. Hope you enjoyed it. Well so long to all, may your dreams come true.
