let me just say, i am very excited to write this. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. YES LOVE. this movie is me. i waited the whole year for this movie to come out last year, and omg i feel less crappy now after watching this movie. where do i begin? ever since happythankyoumoreplease i’ve developed a whole new respect for josh radnor, he’s not only an amazing actor but also an amazing writer and director (he’s a triple threat). this movie is clever and funny and charming, it’s not light-hearted but it’s not ambitious. elizabeth olsen is, as always, captivating. and zac efron, i finally get over the “singing-basketball-guy” thing, he did great. and maybe the reason that i love this movie so much is that there’s this character named dean, and the way he talks, thinks and feels, he reminded me of me. anyway, this movie is very worth-watching.
favorite quotes (more like lines):
“it’s like saying what if reality is all an illusion and there are no consequences to anything and we’re completely off the hook. i believe in consequences” -Jesse
“guilt before we act is called morality” -Jesse
“have you thought about that? how everything in life is basically improvise? there’s no script, we’re just making this up as we go” -Zibby
“they say the purpose of fiction is to combat loneliness” -Jesse
“i kinda just wish this would all be over as soon as possible, why did you love here so much?… i just can’t get over the fact that i’m like aggressively unhappy here” -Dean
“i need to know how you read these uh i guess you called that ‘sentences’, close the book, and feel anything rather than offended and sad” -Jesse
“this country is in bad shape and i think it has to do, in large part i think, with people liking things that are very very bad” -Jesse
“talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don’t” -Zibby
“this, right now, all this stuff you’re feeling, this is a footnote”-Jesse
“unlike you, i’m not from the let-me-tell-you-every-sick-sordid-detail-of-my-life generation. i value discretion. i loathe self-pity. so let’s just leave it at this: people are disappointing” -Professor Fairfield
“nobody feels like an adult. It’s the world’s dirty secret” -Peter
“every place you don’t leave is a prison” -Peter
“i have a soft spot for good readers. they’re hard to find these days” -Jesse
“i sometimes feel like i’m looking down on myself. like there’s this older, wiser me watching over this 19 year old rough draft who’s full of all of this potential but has to live more to catch up with that other self somehow. and i know i’ll get there, it’s just sometimes i think i want to rush the process, you know? and i don’t know…maybe i thought you were some sort of shortcut. does that make sense?” -Zibby

Notes"conceive a man,should he have anything
would give a little more than it away(his autumn’s winter being summer’s spring
who moved by standing in november’s may)
from whose(if loud most howish time derangethe silent whys of such a deathlessness)
remembrance might no patient mind unstrange
learn(nor could all earth’s rotting scholars guess
that life shall not for living find the rule)and dark beginnings are his luminous ends
who far less lonely than a fire is cool
took bedfellows for moons mountains for friends-open your thighs to fate and(if you can

Notes"Since the dawn of recorded history, something like 110 billion human beings have been born into this world. And not a single one of them made it. There are 6.8 billion people on the planet. Roughly 60 million of them die every year. 60 million people. That comes out to about 160,000 per day. I read this quote once when I was a kid, “We live alone, we die alone. Everything else is just an illusion. ” It used to keep me up at night. We all die alone. So, why am I supposed to spend my life working, sweating, struggling?…For an illusion? Because no amount of friends, no girl, no assignments about conjugating the pluperfect or determining the square root of the hypotenuse is gonna help me avoid my fate. I have better things to do with my time.”

Notes"Breath, Dr. Yang. Don’t be crass. You’re skulking. Women of your generation are graceless. It’s an affront to nature. Mediocre surgeons will see you and feel themselves wilting in your shadow. Do not shrink to console them. Do not look for friends here. You won’t find them. None of these people have the capacity to understand you. They never will. If you’re lucky, one day when you’re old and shriveled like me, you will find a doctor with little regard for anything but their craft, and you will train them like I trained you. Until then, read a good book. You have greatness in you Yang, don’t disappoint."Dr. Thomas (via delightfullydez) (via chylerleighs)
