Has anyone seen the movie I Heart Huckabees? If you have please please tell me what you think of that movie. Did you understand it?

Personally, I liked the movie. But not many seemed to. Why?

Well, it's confusing and there really isn't much of a plot to even be understood. I'll do my best to explain it as best I can... The character Albert is a huge environmentalist. In fact, the movie starts out with his saving one rock as it is all that remained of a swamp that had been destroyed.

He even pours his heart out with a poem, "You rock, you rock..." Anyhow, Albert wants to save the world. Huckabees is a chain store. They agree to underwrite Albert's Open Space Coalition.

Huckabees really doesn't give a rat's arse about the environment, but they do desire the appearance of caring and this is why they agree to make a deal with Albert. Albert is a bit over the top in the movie and makes everyone at Huckabees a bit crazy when he does mad things like planting trees in the middle of parking lots as a means to reclaiming the land for nature -- right then, right there. Brad and Dawn are spokesperson's for Huckabees and are a couple.(Brad is played by Jude Law).

Brad works with Albert a lot as he wants to use Albert as a cover up while he attempts to turn virgin marshlands into a shopping mall. All this time Brad keeps coming into contact with an African exchange student. In some whacked out way he interprets it as the universe/mother nature or some higher power trying to tell him something.

This is where the movie hits all manner of strangeness and in walks the Existential Detectives,Bernard and Vivian Jaffe who are brilliantly played by Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin. The investigators have a belief that all things are connected. To understand these "connectors" they must see each and every aspect of their clients life.

And so, they begin popping up here and there throughout the movie taking notes and observing Albert's every move - you see them behind bushes, under furniture, in the shadows, outside windows and even in the bathroom with Albert --- No place is off limits. They're quirky as can be...always finishing each other's sentences, repeating what each other says, etc. They also have the belief that quantum physics is the center of their theories. You hear them talking about how one object can be in two different places at once.

Albert, double crossing as he is, decides he too will hire the same investigators to follow him and his lady around. Albert ends up meeting a fireman named Tommy played by Mark Wahlberg who is Albert's equal in the eco-conscious department. He's so worried about his carbon footprint on the environment that he doesn't even ride in the firetruck when there's a fire.

Instead, we see him peddling his tooshie off alongside the firetruck. Amazingly, he always seems to be the first firefighter on the scene. Albert gets a bit stressed out by the investigators that he initially hired.

Lucky for him, his new firefighting friend Tommy knows another Existential Detective, this one French. The French Existential Detective just so happens to be the sworn enemy of the investigators he had initially hired...the ones following him everywhere he went. There's a bit of fun between them all.

Anyway, the bottom line is I Heart Huckabees is about the different possible meanings of life. The person viewing the movie gets to ask themselves some questions that might bring about that theory as we follow Albert on his quest to make a real difference and the other characters around as they evolve a bit and attempt to answer, "what is the meaning of life" themselves.It's a thought provoking, quirky, intelligent (and ridiculously stupid) movie that only a few people will appreciate or even like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
