Friday. 6.4.04 9:56 am I could not go to sleep last night. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the fact that I had fallen asleep earlier in the evening when I had attempted to do some reading. Anyway, at some point already after 3am, I was still up, but the cable was off for some reason (so no tv or internet, bastards), so I looked through my DVDs and decided I wanted to watch Chasing Amy since I haven't in a long time. I had frogotten how amazing that movie is. Yes, it is a comedy, it is a Kevin Smith film, but it's one of most realistic portrayals on human emotions and the bullshit that defies logic and reason that accompanies them. As I watched it, since I was somehow wide awake, I really scrutinized the movie, paying attention to and noticing all of the little details I've overlooked before. I'm not sure if it was my overly-cognizant state of mind or the life experiences that have accrued in the time since I last watched the movie, but for some reason I was just blown away by the story. It's so fucking raw and real. Yes, of course the story is dressed up in the quirky life of the comic book crowd, "dick and fart jokes", and all of that (because something has to sell the movie), but the crux of the story is phenominal. It's all about finding an imperfect person that is perfect for you; it's about running into someone you should have known your entire life, but fate/cosmic force/luck/whatever you believe has made it so that you haven't met until so many years later; it's about recognizing that time in your life when you've made your mistakes but now you're ready to drop the bullshit and embrace that person that embodies all of what you've really been looking for all along; it's about putting that person before their past. The whole point comes together when Silent Bob tells his "Chasing Amy" story--he knew he had found that person that so truly completed him, but he fucked it all up when he asked about her past and, because of his fear of inadequacy, couldn't handle it because he placed his concern on her past, rather than on his love for her. Essentially, he's saying not to sugarcoat the reality of your relationship by romanticizing the situation. We've certainly made mistakes, so it's ridiculous to delude ourselves into believing our partners have not. You can't hold someone responsible for choices/actions/whatnot that they made before they even knew you, or at least started dating you. That's part of life: you live and you learn. Rather, we should focus on, and be pretty damn glad, that we've found that person. And once you have found that person, you have to take it upon yourself to drop the bullshit of inadequacy fears, or playing games, or being immature, or any of that shit. Take it upon yourself to get on the ball and change if you have to, because if you don't, you're gonna fuck up the one thing you've searched through mistakes to find. And, basically, once you've fucked up, you will have lost the greatest thing you could have known. 3 Comments.
