Watch Garden State Movie Online.
Movie Title: Garden State Garden State is available for streaming or downloading. |
Zach Braff’s impressive directorial debut “Garden State” features an excellent soundtrack, a downright hilarious performance from Natalie Portman and a true message for anyone who feels like they’ve been sleepwalking through life. I left the theater feeling very glad that I’d seen it, for it spoke to me. Of course, like the characters in the film, now that I’ve faced some issues that were plaguing me, I’m at a loss as to what to do next.

But maybe that’s the point. “Garden State” merely shows its main character beginning to escape the issues that essentially imprison him because that’s all it really can show.
The four days that occur in the film merely jar Andrew, played by Braff, out of his complacent, medicated state - and, at its end, he’s only begun to deal with how to live his life. He’s started to be active, not passive. He’s choosing what he wants. But he’s unclear what to do next.

Of course, I’m talking about the film as though it were a psychological experiment. Because the movie made me think.
But the film’s greatest strengths are its just-quirky-enough characters, unlike the oddballs presented in other films like “Napoleon Dynamite.” The film also has a real sense of humor, an affection for its title location and a romance that feels more sweet, enlightening and comfortable - rather than irrationally passionate.
“Garden State” is an interesting feat, and I highly recommend a trip to the theater.
As most of my moviegoing experiences these days have been, I sat in a room full of college students who lined up hours in advance to see Garden State. And we watched in utter amazement, sadness, excitement, laughter…not even because it was THAT good, but because we were watching perfect reflections of ourselves on screen.
After the screening, Zach Braff (who had, he told us, been sitting behind the audience the entire time) talked to us about his film, answered some twenty-odd questions, and truly revealed why this film was a piece of art. Yes, Braff himself was almost as entertaining as the movie itself. But Garden State still held its own.
Braff’s debut film as writer, director and star, the film involves the protagonists’ (Braff) journey to re-find himself as he travels back to his home town in New Jersey. Previously defined by his tidbit roles as a Hollywood actor and his parentally diagnosed psychological illnesses, Braff rekindles old friendships and makes new ones along the way. Natalie Portman, who gives an outstanding performance, plays possibly the most well written female role I’ve seen in a long time. The energy exuded from her presence on screen is unmatchable and a wonderful contrast with Braff’s underplay of his character.
The plot has its moment, but is nowhere near the dynamic adventure of an oscar winning story. However, the little things carry the film. The music, for example, is AMAZING; Braff’s choice of soundtrack is most certainly one of the success stories of his film.
The film is not without faults, such as lack of exploration in certain storylines (especially concerning the protagonist’s father and the introduction of numerous characters who are never fully developed). However, the film’s unique and intense direction and cinematography coupled with some brilliant acting make this film a must see. Especially for the college generation.
Not perfect, but highly recommended.
