Review of Benny & Joon (1993) by Vanessa P — 23 Dec 2008

This is the kind of relationship I want to be in. exactly this kind. I am still not sure if I want to be the schizophrenic painter who makes peanut butter smoothies OR the buster keaton impersonator who hides out in trees. hmmm. but I do know that I want to be exactly myself with all its beauty and weirdness and find a man who is exactly himself with all his beauty and weirdness and discover what each other is about...i mean, think of how great that would be. when I saw this movie at fifteen,walking out the theatre with sue and kim, I felt exactly the way I felt two weeks ago when I watched it in my room.

"that is what I want"....is how I felt. it's so important to love as yourself and be loved for yourself.
