Interstate Sixty


Interstate 60 is a fantasy movie yet I can say that it was not totally unrestricted by reality. Despite all the art that invoke supernatural powers, it was still able to show the state of the world as it really is. It was not totally a deviation from reality rather it is a great diversion from reality.

As an enrolled student in Political Science, my favorite part in the film was the journey of Neal to a town where all the citizens are litigious lawyers. It made me think of myself as someone who is authorized to practice the law and compete with other attorneys. That would be totally challenging. The proceeding at the court even made the story more exciting. It was great to see a person like Cody who for all his life confronted lies of all varieties. He is a virtuous man for he is marked by truth and most of all, he does what he says. He is a man with one word.

It was shown in the movie how significant it is to determine what you wanted in your life. Just like for Neal, he wants to be a painter but his father wants him to enter a law school. He was so unsure of which path to take in his life. He was so dependent on other people like he sees them as persons who foretell his personal future. We should be sure of our functions as individuals. We must be able to know the goods that we could produce as an outcome of our crafts and decisions. However, we should also be heedful of these goods for the consequences it could bring.

Moreover, happiness was also depicted in Interstate 60. In the first parts of the film, Neal was doing the things that would make his dad felicitous like letting his father decide for his career and even in choosing the girl who would be his sexual partner for the rest of his life. However, in the latter part, he realized that he should make up his mind and quest for the things that he thinks would make him happy. For you to be considered as a completely happy individual, you should be happy with every thing that you are doing. Furthermore, you should also bear in mind that this happiness should not be solitary. It must be something that would also involve other individuals like your parents and fellow earthlings. We must learn to pursue a life choice worthy.

To Mister Bob Gale, you deserve a pat on your back. Interstate 60 is a good film for those who cannot stand alone and are under the power of another. I am certain right after watching the movie, you will begin to ponder and be cognizant that you should learn to free yourselves from external control and constraint. Kudos to Interstate 60.
