It's Kind of a Funny Story.

I saw the movie "It's Kind of a Funny Story" yesterday. I liked it. I wouldn't tell anyone cuz they'd probably just think I was trying to get attention or being overly dramatic but I felt like I related with the main character. I don't think I feel stress but in place of that I feel lost. Lost in this world filled with so much space and so little at the same time. But when I was watching that movie it gave me sort of a surreal feeling (if i'm even using that word right). I was no doubt jealous of him. Of the life portrayed in that story. Jealous of the fact that for him things seemed to being working out by the end of the film. He had found a girlfriend whom he could relate with, he was able to open up and speak his thoughts to the people around him. And he found a place where he belongs. Although it made me happy to see his story. I can't help but wonder if life inside a mental institute was being somewhat glamourized. Everyone in their was like such a big happy family. It reminded me of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". The two movies are complete opposites of each other. In Cuckoo the mental ward was filled with power hungry physicians who hardly cared for their patients and manipulated them as they saw fit. But in It's Kind of a Funny Story. All the physicians there were cool people who generally loved their job. I can't help but wonder which portrait is more accurate in this day and age. In It's Kind of a Funny Story my favorite helper was the art instructor. As soon as I saw her I imagined if that's what my future significant other would look like. She had the stereotypical artist look. My favorite scene in the movie was when they were all singing. Everyone just seemed so happy in that sequence and I can't help but wish that such fantasies like that could actually happen. Anyways this blog is pretty much done now i can't think about anymore cohesive thoughts to put here, so to end i'll just say some words that are floating through my mind right now. love, sad, empty, happy, sardonic, complacent, careless, carefree, open, alone, friends, hands, feet, lips, breath, eyes, hugs, fingers, fingernails, skin, hair, soft, feelings, loneliness, loner.
