today I was thinking about the kind of movies I like.
and then I started to name off my favorites in my head...
Benny and June
The Other Sister
Mozart and the Whale
Lars and the Real Girl
is anyone else seeing a trend?
I think that I'm drawn to movies where the socially inept fall in love. I never really thought to sought out why. But the more I think about it, and the more I am subjected to an honest-to-myself love, the more I realize that I'm the one who felt like the mentally retarded, the autistic, the socially inept. They are all me, exaggerated.
Its like what Wynona Rider said in Girl, Interrupted, "Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified."
