Road trip movies always manage to capture my attention. No, not that crazy Road Trip movie (although that movie also manage to get my attention). What I mean is any road trip movie. Cameron Crowe's movie like 'Almost Famous' and 'Elizabethtown' for example. The wacky 'Road Trip' and 'Euro Trip'. Now, it's this 2002 movie by Bob Gale (famous for his script on 'Back to the Future') called Interstate 60.
It's a semi-fantasy story about a guy who wished to find answers to his life on his 22nd birthday, which then granted in a form of a road trip on an interstate highway that never existed to anybody else but him. (and for the rest of the story, you might as well look for the dvd)
I'm not going to review this movie. Seriously, I've always believe that the malay saying 'Jauh perjalanan, Luas pengalaman' is true in a way. (provided that you know your way back..)
On a road trip, you experience different situation and cultures. You see different scenaries. You view from different perspectives and the most important of all, you will have a broader mindset which then makes you understand the world much better.
Whether the road trip will in the end turns you into a much better person or not, is actually up to you. But, I seriously recommend to all of you to take the adventure and go for a road trip.
Maybe it's time to go for another round of road trip. (by the way, enjoy the video. I feel like a dracula for the past few weeks..)
Ah, experience has conditioned you into thinking that all hearts are red and all spades are black because their shapes are similar. It's easier for your mind to interpret them based on that past experience instead of being open to the idea they could be different.
