the Garden State
After ten, eleven minutes I feel compelled to do this. I must write about it. The Garden State may be the best movie of the year. May only because it’s only gone ten minutes. The soundtrack has been spotless, they blend into the mood of the scenes so semlessly that it will be impossible to hear the songs afterwards. The imagery need to be there. Zach Braff in the wallpaper shirt. His zombie-paced crawl as he moves through his surroundings.
– Speaking of which, how’d I do?
- You mean… as a cop?
- Yeah, you know, the whole, shut the fuck up thing…
- Well, I thought you were a dick, so there’s that…
- Nice!
The beginning of the movie pretty much feels as a dreamscape, especially at the party and just after when Andrew wake up on the sofa. And thanks to the beautiful images and camera compositions it feels real at the same time.
I need to get me the DVD.
