Gardenstate by. Zach Braff

Gardenstate is a movie basically about this guy who suffers from extreme depression, and finds a light, which is unfoturnantely his mother's death, that brings him home where he meets his savior.

I believe Zach Braff did very well for his first movie acting, and directing in. He used lots of symbolism to display the character's emotions. Like for example: in the party scene, to display his numb feelings for everything, they show the character sitting on the sofa, motionless, while everyone else is in fastforward having fun. This also is displayed at the end when he is on the plane leaving, but this technique is used to show that something is missing in his life. Another scene that uses a good technique is at the beginning when awakes form his dream, the room is completely white including his pajamas, this scene, due to the color, delivers a sense purity of the character and enlightenment. It also tries to show that he is free of all evil. This also transfers to his father in a similar scene.

The Verdict: This was a great movie an d it only gets better every time I watch it.
