É uma pérola de sensibilidade, cuja beleza se entranha em nós cena a cena, diálogo a diálogo e até silêncio a silêncio.
Garden State é a primeira obra de Zach Braff, mais conhecido do público português pela série Scrubs transmitida pela SIC Radical. Além de dar vida à personagem principal, Braff é igualmente realizador, argumentista e responsável pela selecção musical da banda sonora, pela qual ganhou inclusive um Grammy, apenas um dos muitos galardões granjeados por esta obra.
A história? Um jovem de 26 anos regressa a casa após nove anos para o funeral da mãe e, interrompendo uma medicação de calmantes que faz parte da sua rotina desde a infância, começa a sentir a vida e as suas peculiaridades, como o amor. Assim, acompanhamos Braff ao longo desta viagem iniciática em que se equaciona a família (e as disfuncionalidades que torna cada família única), o amor, a amizade e os sonhos.
Creio que este é um filme bastante apelativo para a geração dos 20 something que durante este período se apercebe que a vida não uma festa, mas que pode ser aquilo que nos propusermos a fazer dela. Como se diria num outro filme: you either make life a chiken salad or a shit salad.
E agora, algumas citações:
Largeman: We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but, for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are.
Sam: This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing.
Sam: If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Largeman: Fuck, this hurts so much.

Sam: If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Largeman: Fuck, this hurts so much.
Sam: I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.
Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.
Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.
Sam: I still feel at home in my house.
Largeman: You'll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.
