I'm always looking for myself in things. In books, in films, in songs. There are many different "me's" that I look for. Potential me's, current me's, who I was before. And there are always these iconic characters that I think most of us have found ways to identify with in one way or another. The eccentric Sam in Garden State (Natalie Portman), Clem from Eternal Sunshine (Kate Winslet), Gatsby, and so many more. It doesn't matter how much our worlds truly do collide, we are always seeing through the looking glass self, always searching for a way to connect ourselves to every experience. So imagine watching Sharon Stone, hand in hand with DeNiro, walking down the steps of a private jet in an electric blue skirt suit in the iconic Casino for the first time. Priceless. The minute you start to wonder what it would feel like to be a blonde, hustling, femme-fatale. I think for today I could get lost in that world.
