Movie Moments I Identify With
Yeah, I'm a movie geek. But there are just some movie moments that are right on the money.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Ah, fuck it.
I can't think of any other quotes now, I had the best intentions but my mind is a blank. So here are some films with scenes that has some significance to my life.
Sometimes you're too busy with your personal obsessions to not realize that true love is under your nose. At least I would like to think in Rushmore Max finds true love with Margaret Yang - but it's a nice thought. Years ago I couldn't have a single thought that didn't involve me & my despair until it dawned on me that none of that matters. Shit this is really sappy, but you get the idea, I got the girl.
It's not nearly this bad - but watching Matchstick Men did make me a little uncomfortable. OCD sucks.
No, my dad didn't kill people, but the Road to Perdition did remind me of my relationship with my dad. It wasn't that he didn't love me, he just didn't know how to show it. One of Tom Hank's few redeeming roles that doesn't involve apple pie & wispy clouds against a blue sky, he plays a dad that still doesn't understand what a dad is supposed to be. And I guess a lot of dads from my dad's generation was like that - they worked, paid the bills, & that was enough.
