Keanu Says What?
I realize I Haven't posted an e-muse in almost two months and I think that's just to bad for all of you out there in the e-muse world. I wasn't really very inspired. Okay that's a lie. I just didn't want ot write about what inspired me. It's a whole laziness issue.
I am here today to talk just a bit about a movie I just saw called "Thumbsucker." It's not a blockbuster or anything like that, but it's about a boy who's about 17 and still sucks his thumb. Really my point is in the movie Keanu Reeves has a great line (I know I was incredibly shocked...I believe that his role as a clairvoyant dentist is absolutely perfect for him) Anyway he says "That's 'cause we all wanna be problemless. To fix ourselves. We look for some magic solution to make us all better, but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess. Try. Hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer. I think." Now that's awesome. I mean its absolutely true and at first glance it seems like its saying "just be yourself" but i think its deeper than that. How can you truly find yourself when you don't combat those things when you try to change. Man the interstices of the human condition just astounds me. Its a great movie and a great line....Get the movie, watch it, lock it up in a safe, pull it out a year later, watch it again...it will change your life.....just some munchies for the mind and maybe a little essen for the eyes. Catch you on the flip.
