We saw this movie Amelie. If you can see it I think its a must. Its a message of hope for people who grew up alone or feel alone. Sure its a (French) romantic comedy and just a movie but you leave it feeling really good.
Well Im sure not everyone will as your mileage may vary. But I liked it enough to go see it again. On the other hand if you feel like being totally weirded out there is Mullholland Drive. :)I know this phenomenon of being with people or talking to them all day but still feeling alone, being alone. I know I get philosophical about this stuff but thats just me. We are all born alone living out life in a shell that keeps us apart from other people with an inner directive to connect and merge with someone else, other people. Aside from the need for food and shelter (clothing optional :), its one of the most basic, strongest needs and desire. Some people are good at meeting those needs, others for whatever reason are not. Sometimes you need to learn how to do it, just like you would need to learn how to plant crops or kill animals to feed yourself back in ancient times. When there is no or little connection, its like being without food, you die a little more every day. What would you do if you were in the forest and had to find a way to feed yourself? See if that analogy helps in trying to figure out how in this world you will connect with other people. But also in order to most effectively connect with other people, you also need to learn how to connect with yourself.
