That's a Wrap!

I finally got around to watching I Heart Huckabees which has been on my to-see list since it came out almost 20 years ago.

Everything/Nothing as Serious/Funny

Partly I have avoided it since I intuited that it was flippant with material I feel to be very weighty.  Well, it is but, somehow, it kinda worked for me.   I mean what's not to like about a movie that treats existentialism as central to our lives whether we admit it or not and then ends with a joke about existentialism (and thus the movie itself)?

The set up:  The main characters are planning an environmental protest in which they will chain themselves to some bulldozers.

Final lines of the movie:

"Should I bring my own chains?"

"We always do."
