i just came back from the movie. This might not be a best of the year but it certainly is a good and important movie. Ashame that only two, including me, was in the theater.

Going through the movie, i saw me. It does worry me if my fate turns our to be Sam's (main character, Sean Penn) path. What is wrong with Sam? Nothing, he is just imcompatible is his current social structure. Sam cannot be Sam if he wants to save his marriage, if he wants to survive. Even worse, Sam has no skill whatsoever to not be Sam.

No one can be free living in a society and yet no one lives without being in a society. My personalities gave me several disadvantages in my experience and studies here in u.s. i realize i have to change but the changing process proved more distrubing than me being myself. The more i tried to look like a normal person the more idiot person i am until i reached the point where i just too fed up to live to others' expection. And that is distrubing to myself too. What's wrong with a person who is not compatible to her social expections? Nothing. Sadly our rigid social structure cannot allow that to happen. With the help of sociologist or psychologist, these imcompatiblities are being termed as 'syndrome' or 'disorder'.

As mentioned earlier, Assassination of Richard Nixon is a great movie with good story line and a wonderful virtuoso by Penn.
