The movie Garden State starring Zach Braff and Natalie Portman definitely falls into the realm of odd films. It is one which at times can be hard to follow. Especially if you miss the beginning like a friend who ended up watching it with me found out.
I'll be honest I did buy this film only because I saw it had one of my favorite actors and one of my favorite actresses. Braff and Portman play their roles brilliantly. A pill overdosed man who cant feel anything and wants to be an actor. And a zany female who is a flowery person and a compulsive liar.
These two meet at a "brain" doctors office and are able to find love in a matter of days. Because they balanced each other out.
Now this got me really thinking.
Who do we all have in our lives who balance us out?
Don't think I don't need some one to balance me out, I'm fine. Because I will never for one second believe we don't all have some crazy in us. Were all messed up in our own ways. That's what makes us unique.
The film uses extremes to portray this. They get the point across though.
So who is out there waiting to be balanced by us, and to balance us out? Is there anyone specific?
I know these are a lot of questions but I pose them because simply I don't know the answer. I know what I want the answer to be. I want it to be yes there is that one person. I'm not necessarily saying it has to be a soulmate. But even a friend who can reign in the crazy for you and you do the same for them.
Again I wont lie, preferably I want it to be a female companion. Just because I feel like that would work out better because you would be around them more most likely.
So I sincerely hope we all find that person out there. Some one to reign in the crazy that's in all of us. Because without that special person, we all will end up in a state of mundanity. And that is no way to live.
