Falling in Love
I recently saw the movie "Garden State". I thought it was supposed to be a comedy of some sort and I heard some pretty good reviews, but it wasn't good at all. Here's the synopsis: the guy (from the show Scrubs) lives in CA and goes back home to NJ to be at the funeral of his mother, finally gets off all the medication that his father, the psychiatrist, had put him on since the age of 10 and then he meets an annoying Natalie Portman at a neurologist's office and after four days, they're at the airport and saying their goodbyes.
My fiance says "Don't GO!!" to the TV... to the Scrubs guy. Okay I'll admit it was a little sad at this point but only because the girl (Portman) in the movie was crying. Of course I'm going to feel bad for someone if they're crying, but I'm still thinking "GO MAN!! Get outta there, get on with your life!"
Well the Scrubs guy ends up walking away and then turning back around to find her and say that he was going to try to make things work. What crap. And he finds her in a phone booth. How would he know to find her in a phone booth at Newark airport in the first place!? And he tells her that he's in love. That's complete BS if I've ever heard it. They don't even know each other, they've known each other for less than a week and he's probably going to change his mind in a couple of days anyway. Don't you think?
My fiance says "Hey, it can happen that quickly..." Okay, maybe it can, but it's rare. And people seem to use the phrase all the time. In movies - fine, because they're fake. But in real life?! C'mon now!! How many times have you heard the phrase? How many times have you said it?
How many people really fall in love? And how many people just say they've fallen in love? And of these people how many turn around and then "fall in love" with the next person... and then the next? Again... and again... and again.
Unbelieveable!
