yesterday night, my boyfriend and i rented and watched “Wristcutters: A Love Story”. well actually i did all of the watching. i don’t know that he was actually at all interested in watching a dark comedy.

the main character Zia, played by Patrick Fugit, falls in love in the afterlife with a hitchhiker Mikal, played by Shannyn Sossamon. Zia slit his wrists after his girlfriend leaves him and Mikal ends up there from an accidental OD. she looks for the PIC (people in charge) because she believes that it was a mistake. this afterlife they’re in is a place for those who committed suicide. everything there is all grungy and depressing. the movie made me think about what the afterlife would be like. it’s actually kind of ironic. you commit suicide to escape the pain and suffering only to end up in a place that is just as worse if not more so because of what you did. i can’t imagine myself to completely cease after death, that i would never be able to think again or feel. but then, would it just be a viscious cycle of pain and/or indifference? or, is it possible to get a second chance like Zia and Mikal did? maybe i’ll be reincarnated or something. i mean how do i even know i dont have any past lives now. maybe my weird dreams are memories of them.. okay too much thinking about it and too confusing really.
anyway the movie was really good. they were so cute together. i can’t believe i’m a sap for love stories….
