I Heart Huckabees

"I Heart Huckabees" varied from many myriad situations of questioning life, existence and who we are to completely going insane and lost. It was interesting to see how you could analyze life either through "everything being connected or nothing being connected at all." For myself, I found that questioning my existence, I was at lost with words on how I could describe my existence on earth and what I live for. Crazy.

In our society, we humans compete with each other comparing and seeing who is the better man/women. We do this by buying the newest phone or laptop, expensive cars, houses and popularity. In "I Heart Huckabees" Dawn, the beautiful model, a icon for Huckabees corporation, stopped caring about her appearence after confronting the existentialist. She realized that her career depended solely on her appearence and being beautiful. Therefore she rebeled against her dependence on being beautiful by wearing overalls and a bonnet. Through this, she became her true self, but was looked down upon even though she stopped conforming to people's trends about being beautiful. This made me think about how in our society we are always conforming to new clothing styles, musics, sports, etc. but in the end we also try to be real to ourselves, but is that really being true to yourself?

In a world, that not all the time makes sence, I believe that "everything in the same, even if it's different" because of our dependent attitudes towards items/materials we need. Everyone has brain, we all use it differently though, no one thinks the same thoughts at the same time, but everyone still has a brain. Everyone has ears, but some are smaller then others, we still have ears. This is why i believe the world we live in makes sence, because everything one individual may have, another person may also have too.

Another reason why i believe the world is meaningful and makes sence is the fact that if I believe that everything matters, I too must matter. This also leads to how I can exisist in a meaningful world because "if nothing matteres, how can I matter?" Well if nothing I think matters then how in the world do I matter, because in the end nothing to me is important, or woth my time caring about, which I believe is what matters, "believing."
