Cogitating After-Thoughts

It's 1 something in the morning. It's raining outside. I love the rain. I love the sound of it. I love how it clears the air and makes it crisp. I just fixed myself an Arnold Palmer and a (tea) plate of fruit (apples, cherries, grapes). Naturally, I'm listening to Radiohead while I'm writing this (15 Step). I just finished watching an amazing movie. It was original, unique...my demo(graphic) for my love of cinema. Wristcutters: A Love Story.

It starts off with a suicide. And that's what's so fantastic: what happens after? Patrick Fugit's character goes to an afterlife that is "reserved" especially for those who have committed suicide. It makes you ponder the idea. A suicide-only afterlife? Brain-racking. The thing is, it is just like the "real world," only more depressing and miserable. That's another genuis stroke - there's no where to escape. You can't leave the hopeless life by killing yourself again. You already did. So what happens? What do you do?

That's why you have to watch this movie. The "What do you do?" question is just too perfect. This movie is so purely entertaining, it makes my heart smile. I love the originality, the concept. And believe it or not, it is the best "love story." It gives hope to the hopelessly loveless. My favorite part of all? Even though no one can smile in the post-suicide afterlife, this movie is hilarious. I was laughing so much. I love indie movies. And this one takes the cake.
