Leaves and leaves facing each other, branches and vines entwined

I couldn’t sleep after taking a shower last night. I turned on the TV in the middle of the night and saw that CCTV6 happened to be in Garden State. The power of intrigue, pulls people's heart and soul until the very last moment.

"When I'm with you I feel safe. Like I'm home." This is what Andrew said to Samantha. I only remember this line.
Why do we love each other? I think, because you opened up a new world for me, let me see the scenery that I have never seen in the past, and let me feel a lot of emotions that I have never felt in the past; because of you, my world has become bright and changed. Be specific. I know how to feel love and how to love. The emotions I feel are so profound. This kind of solid warmth makes me feel safe, just like the feeling of home when I was a child. This is the most beautiful place in love. . So we are in love! This is the most beautiful, true and most important thing.
In this stupid and numb world, two neurotic, confused and indifferent hearts collide, but they can explore and appreciate the most true warmth. It must be admitted that most of the time, life is lonely and cold. If someone can bring you a little power to overthrow the past and make you feel that life and emotions become concrete and sensible, this must be the moment when the most touching emotions in the world come. Andrew and Samantha are lucky, because they both found the only leaf in the world facing their own tip. Since then, the branches have been around. This kind of skin-friendly warmth will make life more full and fearless. .

"If you don't make fun of yourself, life will become more boring than you hoped."
"When you realize that the house you grew up in is no longer your real home, you will understand life. Meaning. Suddenly, the concept of home is gone... although you still have a place to put things."
"You will feel that you will never be able to redeem it. It's like the home you miss all the time doesn't exist... Maybe this is a process of growth. Until you rebuild a family, you will regain that kind of Feeling. To your children, to the family you have built. It's like a reincarnation. I miss this feeling very much. Maybe the true meaning of family is here. A group of people imagine a imaginary place."
"When you move The day you go out, you will understand that there will be such a day, and there will be no more..."

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Zach Braff is definitely a talented director. I can't afford to fall to the ground. Really, this kind of talented gentleman, low-key and even a little shameless man is the sexiest, hey! The first half of this movie makes me feel a bit British, indifferent, numb and depressive spiritual world, fearful, lonely and desperate youth, every detail is portrayed very delicately and moisturized, but the plot will always give people a simple and even cold wood. Texture. The heroine's acting skills are also remarkable. At the time, I felt familiar, but later, it turned out to be Natalie Portman. No wonder, Zach Braff has good eyesight!
Continue to say something off topic, the OST of this movie is absolutely top-notch, in fact, some people say that it surpasses the height of the movie itself. The opening Don't panic of Coldplay instantly brings the plot into a confused and determined atmosphere. Cary Brother's Blue Eyes and Simon&Garfunkel's The only living boy in New York are definitely the kind that meets the occasion. In short, OST has added countless icing on the cake.

Braff himself said: "I have always liked the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible, which is about some kind of great power that makes the world start again. For me, Andrew wants to start again, he tries to save himself, and Start a new chapter of life again. It's like Noah brought animals and people to the ark and rescued them from the flood, and then started again. He wanted to find his own ark." Congratulations to Braff, he succeeded in shaping it. Andrew and Noah's Ark in his heart.

Anyway, a very clean independent film, no matter what mood, it is worth watching. :)

Garden State quotes

  • Jesse: But your mom was in the wheelchair long before you left.

    Andrew Largeman: Yeah. Well, I was nine. So they sent me to therapy and put me on these drugs that were supposed to curb my anger and I've been on some form of them ever since. And when I was 16 my psychiatrist dad came around to the conclusion that it probably wasn't the best environment for me to be growing up in, so he sent me to boarding school. And I haven't been home since.

    Sam: Until now.

    Mark: For her funeral.

    Andrew Largeman: Until now for her funeral.

    Jesse: I can't believe the retarded quarterback is a pill-popper.

  • Andrew Largeman: It was nice meeting you.

    Sam: You didn't. I'm Sam.

    Andrew Largeman: [shakes hand] Andrew.

    Sam: Nice to meet you. Good luck with your head.
