  • ...it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the worId.

    Sometimes I feeI Iike I'm seeing it aII at once and it's too much.

    My heart fiIIs up Iike a baIIoon that's about to burst.

    And then I remember to reIax...

    and stop trying to hoId on to it.

    And then it fIows through me Iike rain,

    and I can't feeI anything but gratitude...

    for every singIe moment...

    of my stupid IittIe Iife...

  • This is my interpretation : a plastic bag is a fragile thing that is sure to drop to the floor when the wind stops(our mortality). It's light & empty(our mere existence in the world.) But it moves freely on its own in the nature(the universe); it doesn't hold a thing, as if it has let go of everything, with no suppression - notice every character in the movie is deeply repressed. This is what Lester refers to as "a balloon... flows through me freely like rain" at his death. The bag is free.

  • @bloodyanalwarts Shut the fuck up and stop being so predictable.

  • in my opinion this is one of the best movies ever made... it's so amazing but so incredibly simple...this is the reason i love movies so much...

  • J ai lu vos commentaire .... mais merde ne changez pas de fournisseurs !

  • Moment de grace, intense

  • That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

  • this guy must be smoking some QUALITY weed! Can i have some?

  • Peter: *gasp* Look! It's dancing with me! It's like there's this incredibly benevolent force that want's me to know that there's no reason to be afraid. Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, it makes my heart burst...

    God: IT'S JUST SOME TRASH BLOWING IN THE WIND! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW COMPLICATED YOUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS?
