not a mystery to me anymore. the things in this life especially in our american way of life will not make you happy. the american dream or the american nightmare as i like to call it will not bring happiness. just ask the rich and famous in this world.
i thought the story moved a bit slowly. the part about the dog owners was insightful . i always knew dog lovers were a bit goofy. my friend treats his dog like his baby. it didn't surprise me that they didn't know each other's names and only talked about their dogs. i have to disagree with the part about stray dogs living only two years. i helped take care of a stray for at least five years as a child. i get the point about human contact though. though i must say our society is leaning twords loneliness. we have automated tellers phone answering systems and telemarketers. some of us only talk to people on the computer.
one thing that bothered me about show. in the scene where the guy gets the girl and realizes he doesn't want her he says something about possessing her or something. that is the hollowness of meaningless sex. by the way this one i won't let my children listen to. that's another american dream. no strings attatched.
there's always a trap. i just need a little more. how much is enough? a little more. we can't find happiness in the things of this world.
this guy is also not willing to put aside his pride and reunite with his father before he dies. that's the really sad part of this story. life is waaaaay to short to hold grudges. i felt no simpathy for this guy.
