YOU MUST SEE THE MOVIE GARDEN STATE!

I absolutely loved it! You know that a movie touches you when you are in the shower the next day after seeing it and you think about certain scenes. It made me think about life, love, family, friends, music, etc. Very moving!

Zach Braff did an excellent job on it. He wrote, directed and starred in the film. I have to admit that I have never watched his show Scrubs so I am not that familiar with his acting abilities. But he should write and direct more movies. And the music used in the film is amazing and the soundtrack is fantastic! Here's a review from Amazon.com

Writer and director Zach Braff does a masterful job matching the charming, heartfelt tone of classic films like The Graduate and Rushmore in his motion picture debut, Garden State, so it only makes sense that the music he personally compiled for the soundtrack plays just as big a part here as it did in those films. Simon & Garfunkel's languorous "The Only Living Boy in New York" is an obvious thread, but aside from Nick Drake's "One of These Things First," Braff is able to carry the mood without getting tripped up in the past. Frou Frou's "Let Go" and Zero 7's "In the Waiting Line" supply soft techno touches, while Iron & Wine's "Such Great Heights" and former Men at Work singer Colin Hay's "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" offer understated angst. It's a pair of emotionally racked contributions from the Shins ("Caring is Creepy," "New Slang"), however, that really make this compilation a must-have.

Here's one of the things ZACH himself says about Garden State on the movie weblog:

"What Garden State's really about is how short life is. And how we get caught up in so many entanglements and insecurities and worries and obsessions and trivial arguments while life races right by us shaking it's head at how seriously we take ourselves. Keep in mind that the sun's gonna burn out in about a million years and truly nothing will have mattered."
