ShortBus

I just saw the movie ShortBus and I have to say yes, it is extremely sexually graphic. But it is also one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. It's essentially about peoples exploration of their own sexuality and it's purpose in their lives. One of the reasons why I find it such an amazing film is that more so than almost any other film I've ever seen, I think it actually relates to people's real human experiences. I don't know anyone who has ever flown a spaceship, kunfu-kickboxed while flying, dodged bullets, or robbed banks in elaborate 12 member super teams. But I can't even count the number of people I know who wake up every morning still trying to put together their sexuality and what it means for their relationships and their lives. If you can get it- see it. You might think it's a really weird movie about really weird people, but take a step back for a minute and you'll realize that you are pretty freaking weird in your own way too.
