That one really made me think.
How much time did I waste making minimum wage in high school just to buy a pair of jeans or a shirt with the right label on it?
The whole flick is full common sense that takes two or three viewings to really digest...

It had a legit impact on me in exactly that way. It pointed out how superficial and materialistic we are... drowning ourselves in 'stuff' but not actually living with any purpose of personal fulfillment. We slave away to meet expectations far more often than we do to pursue our own interests.
"The things you own end up owning you."
"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
"This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time."
It got to me big time. Love this film. Many people called it nihilistic but I think they all missed the point entirely.
