shortbus

Couple of days ago, i watched an indie film by Thinkfilm Productions called "Shortbus". It's a very weird film erm porn lol tho i guarantee it's not porn. It was about a sex therapist who has not experienced orgasm and about a very depressed gay man. They're emotionally challenged people who search for the answer. They all go to a place called Shortbus, an underground salon where they all can share what they have in common. The place is filled with art, culture and sex. The film is also very graphic. These are the scenes which you would never see in any other films (apart from caligula). I thought the scenes were very erm for the lack of a better word, honest. It's really easy to connect to the characters of the film because of the emotions, the experience that the film shows us. The experience per se may or may not apply to us but the very core of the film applies to everyone of us. I'd recommend this film but only if you keep an open mind. Just close your virgin eyes and erm, cover your virgin ears if you can't take it lol. I've attached the trailer below.

What struck me the most in this film is why we actually have to search for the answer, for the happiness? Don't we all make our own happiness? Which reminds me, Tom Cruise's line in Jerry McGuire "You complete me" is total bollocks. It's full of bullshit. I would never say that to my partner. Maybe "complete" is the wrong term to use, maybe it should be "fulfill?" So if my partner breaks up with me, i'd feel so incomplete that no one can fill that void. Well the news is, no one can fill that empty void. I only have that power to fill the empty void to make myself happy. Just like everyone else. Most people who thinks otherwise are emotionally deranged and in planet utopia.

Anyway, Happiness is not a feeling or emotion. It's a state wherein we've acquired what is good for us. So, if i want beer, i'll get a beer and then I'm happy.
