Review of Garden State (2004) by Shanna9650 — 14 Sep 2015

Visually, the movie fantastic. It moves in a really lovely way. The characters are interesting, and while not typical in movies, they are people I have known. I appreciate this greatly. I love the story and the adventures.

I love the writing. I think the moments of terror and sadness are placed well, as are the absurd and silly. The soundtrack is a winner overall. I think that it's a trendy, but solid. Life is a mix of happy and sad, big and little issues.

I do think this is a sort of "Graduate" sort of move, and people of this age are kinda all about themselves. That's okay. This is about someone literally waking up. He is coming to grips with his own feelings and dealing with them .

..himself. I like that he has to trust other people in the process. That is really what this movie is centered upon.
