Garden State

Last night we watched Garden State. It was as good as I'd hoped. I'd kinda been almost wary about seeing it because I felt I'd either find it wonderful and need to be in the right mood for it, or I'd be disappointed and I didn't want that. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. It's probably totally cliche and predictable that I'd love it, but I don't care. I was trying very hard not to cry in a couple of scenes, and I rarely cry during movies anymore. I was just absorbed into the whole story and details and music. I haven't felt like that during a movie since I saw Donnie Darko, though Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were also similar. So, go see it if you haven't. But be sure you're in the right mood.
