First let me start by admitting I love any movie with this list of characters in it. Created by Jason Segel these characters have been part Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to The Greek so far while making a short appearance in the back ground of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. The main character has been Aldous Snow, played by Russel Brand. He has so far been the common driving force in all of the films and Brand plays him magnificently. While this movie is hilarious and seems to just be a comedy. There are inner messages littered in which all of us can take out of the film and apply to life. I am watching the movie right now, and blogging on it. But I was compelled to as well first of all I need to for an assignment. And second of all it hit me this was perfect to do it on. Me and my friend Caleb went to Target today just so he could buy this film so we could watch it. And as we sat in my Campus Housing apartment where I go to school I grabbed my computer and started to blog as I heard Aldous say something almost profound, especially profound for the movie.
"I don't wanna be selfish anymore."
I love that line. He is a rockstar in the film and as he parties his way to the concert that will save his career he realizes something real for the first time in a long time. It's not about him.
I love when comedy's don't just make you laugh, but they make you think. It is fantastic the way you can realize something you might need to work on in your life while laughing.
Is there a better way? I don't think so.
So don't just watch comedies to laugh. Look for the lines or actions of the film that make you realize something. It might even be profound enough to change your life.
