I Heart Huckabee's

I've really fallen behind in posting about movies so here I go....Saw this one with Elaine, Liz and Sarah. It was definately the best example of existentialism I've ever seen. It's one of those things I read a little bit about in a couple classes, but never really quite grasped the concept. Wonderful performances by Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore (1998)) and Mark Wahlberg. You also had Jude Law, Dustin Hoffman, Naomi Watts, and Lily Tomlin. Definately a star-studded cast. Elaine had told me while watching this movie she was kept on the edge of her seat waiting to hear what they would say next. I'd have to say I concur. Definately great dialogue going on here. For some reason while watching it I was constantly reminded of John Cusack. One actress in here was the teacher he talked to outside the high school in Grosse Pointe Blank who he told still dresses like Mary Tyler Moore. There were also little things that reminded of some of his other movies. I thought Naomi Watts did an awesome job prortraying how shallow everyone was in treating her after she quit trying to look "pretty" all the time. There were also a bunch of little things like when Jude Law threw up in the meeting and him crying at the end. I also loved when he admitted going to the existential detectives just to get Albert kicked out. This is definately a movie that can be appreciated on multiple levels. It's entertaining and witty on the surface, yet is also much deeper if you want to sit and really think about what you're watching. Definately something to watch sometime.
