Garden State is perhaps the only New Jersey film to turn the lack of options to succeed into something frightening and sadly hedonistic.
, the idea of passing time is romanticized as a grand thing of quiet beauty, often shot in an elegant if obvious way to suggest a depth of dignity in simplistic life that doesn’t exist.is perhaps the only New Jersey film to turn the lack of options to succeed into something frightening and sadly hedonistic.
In the next scene, Andrew is surrounded by townies who have nothing better to say than movie titles and famous lines from them as they identify him as someone who left to pursue his dream, and is therefore above the commoners of New Jersey. Unsavvy and basic, they have no idea how to engage Andrew in a meaningful discussion of his experience in L.A.
Arrested development is an issue of interest to Braff, as his love interest, Natalie Portman’s Sam, is a former ice skater who works a paralegal-ish job despite having seizures and lives at home. In every scene Sam is in, she is cute, fun, and spontaneous in a way no one else is.
After peering into the seedy underbelly of suburban boredom, Mark brings Andrew and Sam to a canyon. After descending into it, the film introduces the only two happy people in the entire film: a couple with a baby living on a refurbished boat who are happy purely because they are removed from the engulfing mouth of sameness above them.
