Phone Booth - Never Too Late To Be Good

(2003) ★★★★★

Why do we only care about ourselves, and not the others? Why do we have to be so hypocritical and need lies to cover our ass? Why are we so afraid of facing ourselves? Why do we never learn to cherish the things we’ve already got till we lose them? Why do we always want some more when, in fact, we’ve got everything we need? Why do we feel so ashamed of ourselves sometimes when we appear to be so perfect? Why do we always do things that we actually don’t really mean to?

So many questions, huh? Yeah, right, if you knew the answers to those questions, you’d know what life’s all about. Sadly, Stu doesn’t. That’s why he’s taught a lesson. He hasn’t been true to himself till he gets in that phone booth. He doesn’t obey at first. Then he struggles. He breaks in the end, and he learns a universal truth, that is, whenever there’s a longing, there’s pain.

I like Phone Booth. I like the story. I like the dialogues. I like the morality behind it. It’s one of the best flicks I’ll never forget in this life.
