ellipsis

I spent the whole morning watching two movies. The first one was Garden state and the second was Transamerica. Transamerica was alright, i wouldn't say it was great but still, maybe if you want something different, that shouldn't be a bad movie. Now Garden state was love at first watch. I felt that i could really relate to the movie and besides Natalie Portman is just too darn cute. All of a sudden, i started reflecting when Andrew Largement said this to Samantha.


"You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place."

This is all somehow very true to me. Cus i'm in that exact position where Andrew is right now. I feel exactly the same way, every single bit of it. Man, i can watch Garden state over and over again....
