Because I filled out a survey with Third Street Theatre, we won tickets to go see "Hector & The Search for Happiness" at a special preview screening at Westhills Theatre! It was absolutely packed, as they always give away more tickets than they have space for, just to make sure there's a person in every single seat! The writing was clever, and Simon Pegg was perfect in the role of an unhappy psychiatrist who realizes he can't help his clients find happiness (or "ha penis") without being happy himself. He goes on an adventure around the world (China, Tibet, Africa, LA, and back to the UK), to determine what makes other people happy. He meets a lot of colourful characters along the way, and writes in his journal each time he learns something about human happiness (like some people think happiness comes with money and power, and sometimes not knowing the whole story leads to happiness). As time goes on, he continues his journey asking, asking, asking what makes other people happy - but the real question becomes - What makes Hector happy? There were some interesting quirks to this film - little bits of animation are infused into the live action, which take the audience to amazing locations all over the world. However, with 2014 technology, can we ever be sure it's not just BC and a green screen? Honestly, I think this was a great film - it left us with a really good feeling at the end - and I'm so glad we won tickets to this advance screening! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector_and_the_Search_for_Happiness_(film) |
