I just watched Garden State on my office computer (on office hours!) and i must say, i am completely absolutely blown away by this film. It's about how often we struggle to find something in our lives, when there is nothing.
The main character talks alot about the apathy of humans as we enter our lives, and he is seen as being uncaring and without aim. He meets Sam (Natalie Portman) and he rediscovers himself.
The main charater Braff is a struggling actor that is waiting for his big break in movies. He also waits tables at a viet restaurant during his free time. He pushed his mother down the stairs when he was young and as a result hasnt felt any significant emotion since, mainly as a result of the medication he's been plied with by his estranged father.
When finally, the song Let Go by Frou Frou finally plays, I am filled with goosebumps and really the song just blows me away. It's strange, how we need such films to teach us life lessons.
