"Cars didn’t drive on it to make great time, they drove on it to have a great time"

Since I've started talking about movies, I'll also write a bit about "Cars", the movie we watched last night. I feel a bit lazy, I wrote too much about "Match Point"... I know I'm being unfair, "Cars" deserves much more than the few words I'm going to say about it. I guess it's more difficult for me to talk about it, especially because I cried like a baby in the end :) (and not only).
I was just wondering... why is it easier for us to express our feelings, our worries, through jokes? Would it be too challenging to analyze the truth if it weren't accompanied by cute remarks and funny actions? Or, maybe, we would find it too boring: "yeah, yeah, we all know that... only cliches!". The movie talks about dreams, exagerated ambition that leads to selfishness and loneliness, appreciation of the simple pleasures in life (and there are sooo many of them!), superficiality, forgetfulness, pure love, friendship... in two words, boring things, right? We talk about them so much, everyone knows them... another 3D cartoon that wants to give us a lesson in morality. The sad truth is we need to think about these hints we keep getting. It's true, we talk a lot about them, are familiar with the theoretical part, but when it comes to practicing... we have a Kit-Kat. Do I need to comment on the line I used for a title? I thought so...
I believe there are things that words ruin. This movie is one of them... I just wanted to write a bit about it, as it touched a small part of my soul. I don't know how small that part is, but let's not show too much emotion right now... it wouldn't fit that well with the whole modernity picture.
Now I can get back to my reading. It's raining, and I've decided to stay inside and read, think... things I haven't done in a long time :). For a few hours, at least.
