I just watched Garden State [and drank 1/3 of a bottle of Kahlua].
It's interesting that, at the end of a week during which I've decided I need to be medicated, I watched this movie. To over-simplify, it's about a guy who goes off his meds for the first time in 17 years and realizes how numb to life he's been. He realizes how much more he'd rather feel anything - even pain - than feel numb. That numb robs you of yourself. That the idealistic persuit of "happiness"... just results in numb.
Pain reminds you that you're alive.
