"every thing looks perfect from far away"

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

I just saw this movie and i must say, i enjoyed it. When I saw the reflextion of Zach Braffs face divided symetrically by the seam of the medicine cabnet doors opening to display a vast array af perscription drugs then being closed now being slightly off-center. I knew I was in for a visualal and psychological treat. Its one of those movies you walk away from and every thing looks brighter, more beautifull, you are happy to just be alive. we are reminded that it is o.k. to laugh at our selves, none is perfect and life at times can be painful. we can't just sleepwalk through life, becoming numb to the reality of the world around us. The movie Garden State had artistic cinematography, the dialoge had philosophical overtones with a subtle hint of sarcastic humor, and the sound track was fantastic.
