I remember more of my dream last night that I forgot to write previously.
I dreamt we also had a caged rodent...like a gerbil/hamster/guinea pig. I remember thinking in the dream that my house had become like the Natalie Portman character's (Sam) in "Garden State." I love that movie.
Garden State is a movie that can be seen again and again every few years or so. I can't imagine cleaning those rodent tubes but they would be fun to watch. If we weren't allergic to rodents it would be nice to have a few as long as we could train the cats and dogs to leave them alone too.
I think I've seen Garden State about 3 times in the last year. Seriously. Some people thought it was boring, but I think the humor is just too subtle, maybe too subtle for the target age group (which would be the age of the main characters I would guess). It also has this sort of calming existentialist quality and a great soundtrack.
No, I wouldn't want rodents. Been there, one that. Tubes are a pain to clean. Not recommended unless you get off on cleaning rodent poo steeped in rodent pee out of plastic tubes.
I think you are right about the movie being more mature than the age group of the characters. It has a sad and deeper look at life and accepting our lives and experiences with existential honesty. In the movie it is the older father character who is completely unable to come to terms with seeing life in a genuine way. I think the movie is important because it has become such a social trend to want to fix everything with pills and psycho care. Too many people have lost their perspective about mental health and the pills that are suppose to give people happier lives. This is a movie with a story about coming out of the pill haze and finding ourselves in a more existentially honest way.

I mean been there, DONE that. I'm having problems with my "D" key. I think there might be a large granule of Sea Salt underneath it.
