Got a minute? I just got back from theater after seeing the movie Sideways. Which was probably one of the most honest and realistic films I have seen in a long period of time. I didnt know one word about the movie, I did not see a preview, review, hell I didnt know what it was about or its genre for that matter, I was only told it has the guy from American Splendor and that mechanic from Wings well thats cool and all but I only went because the person I was around wanted to see it. I mean I have no idea how they would preview this movie! I want to go watch the preview but Im too lazy, I mean seriously this movie has no genre, but real-reality fiction. They showcase the roles of the male good guy and pig so well, its like they couldnt have done better in a documentary. I suggest everyone go see this film. I just read negative comments on the IMDB calling this movie road trip for adults which is the saddest thing Ive ever heard, I mean, if you didnt see through the metaphors simply watch it again when youve started living.
I really got thinking after seeing this flick, and I dont know, maybe life should come with commentary tracks like a DVD, left by a parent with common sense or just someone who knows whats up if that isnt applicable. Growing up as a child, (which Im still in the process of) I thought my problems were everything and no one would understand them, as if what I was feeling was some foreign emotion and the only reason I thought this, or was reluctant to ask questions was simply because it seems natural not to. Granted, its not like I want to hear everyones problems, but somewhere along the line we have to learn from others mistakes but on the other side of the coin, would the lesson actually be learned good or bad, no it wouldnt. Its not that I dont believe that something is bad when told, I cant explain my ignorance, its sadly akin to putting your hand in the flame to leave the scars as a reminder. which is probably the most childish/lame/emo thing I've written since I realized Live Journal was rediculious. I dont know how else to explain myself.
Burroughs is right, the human language is a virus.
