13 Conversations About One Thing

JANUARY 17, 2003

I was told that the "one thing" in the film is happiness. So going into the film I was looking forward to an interesting portrayal of our relationship with happiness. I didn't account for the fact that the movie might be completely depressing. Man, that was a blow upside the head, and especially tough for someone who is getting a little depressed by the job market, people and life in general (i.e. me). Once I was able to get past the shock, I paid attention to the characters and story a bit. It is definitely an interesting movie and discusses an important topic, how to deal with/without happiness and what really drives us in life (faith?), but it is something you must prepare for. Think Happiness, but with less flair and more brain.
