While driving home from work today, I suddenly thought of the movie Ghost Town which I've watched like 6-7 times by now. It's about a grumpy, anti-social dentist named Bertram Pincus, played by the hilarious Ricky Gervais, who gains the ability to communicate with ghosts (much to his annoyance) after he dies during a colonoscopy and is later miraculously revived.
There are so many ridiculously funny scenes that can make me laugh just thinking about them ("What?! I died for 7 minutes?" "Oh let's calm down. Everybody dies." "Yeahhh but usually at the end of their lives and just the once and forever!" Ahahaha lawaks!). But there's this one particular touching scene that just sort of stuck on my mind till now.
Bertram Pincus initially refused to tell his neighbor and love interest, Gwen, that the reason he's alone in Manhattan was because his girlfriend left him and married someone else. He thought that it's very boring and ordinary. But when he finally opened up and told her the truth, she said:
You can't live someone else's life or think it'smore important just because it's more dramatic.
What happens matters.
Maybe only to us, but it matters.
HOW TRUE huh?
