how am i not myself?

i heart huckabees is a funny and interesting movie that has some existential philosophies. well, i couldnt tell to what extent it was making fun of all that. but i laughed pretty hard through a lot of it. i loved mark wahlberg's role, he cracked me up. i need to see the big hit again.

some of its comments on people in our society were pretty accurate, and sad. in particular, when tommy (wahlberg) tells his daughter that little girls like her are in sweatshops going blind and being paid only a dollar a month. the scene was comical and its nice that the character cared, a lot of people dont, but this reminds me of some of the people who went to latin america with me. we learned about so many problems and the tragedies that are regular parts of those people's lives and yes we want to change that. but doing things like boycotting products made in those places may not actually help the people. it can hurt them if it puts them out of a job. even if it is a low paying job it is still work.

anyway, huckabees had a neat soundtrack too. jon brion is fun, he also did some music in the eternal sunshine of a spotless mind.
