how am i not myself?

i didn’t quite know what i was watching until it was over. i mean, i knew it was a movie (i ♥ huckabees), but it was all happening so fast. the movie centers around the character albert (played by jason schwartzman), as he tries to find the meaning of life, or more specifically, why he keeps coincidentally running into a sudanese man. he hires a couple “existential detectives” (lily tomlin and dustin hoffman) to work his case and the rest is a happy rollercoaster ride of extraordinary pleasantness. you don’t really know where it’s going to end up, but the journey is the true joy. i liked it.
