Movie of focus: Garden State




In exploring the concept of art films and why they seem more meaningful, I have made my argument more plausible by giving examples from movies of choice. First, Garden state represents the simplicity of independent films whereby the strength lies within the dialogue and non superficial scenes. An example of the dialogue taken from here reads:


(Girl)You know what I do when I feel completely unoriginal?

(Boy)What?

(Girl)*makes funny sounds*

(Girl)I make a noise or I do something that no one has ever done before.And then I can feel unique again even if it's only for like a second.
The actual performance could be viewed below:




Just from that few lines, the author, Zach Braff (also the main actor) have made the girl to have a very interesting and smart character with full of confidence, without having to show clips of her winning a debate or doing extreme sports to state the obvious.
