Here's A Little Analytical Article About My New "Favorite" Movie

You probably think I'm obsessed with this movie. That's because I am.

Here's A Little Analytical Article About My New "Favorite" Movie
Sausage Party Twitter

I could've made a terrible pun about hot dogs and sausages in the subheading, but I didn't. You're very welcome.

First of all, this movie is not for children. If you're reading this article and you're under 17 (since that's the age a kid can see an "R" movie unsupervised), stop reading this article. Now. At this point. Right here. Stop. At this line. | Because this shit is about to get so real.

In broader terms, this movie basically talks about how supermarket foods literally have lives of their own, and see their lives as ones that should please the "gods". Who are the gods? Humans. According to this movie, supermarket foods see humans as literal gods. In my terminology, "that's wild".

These supermarket foods worship the gods, and they believe that, when they are "picked" by the gods, they go to "the great beyond". In the movie, "the great beyond" is seen as a wonderful, happy, eternal place to the food. Of course, they realize what we humans know--that the foods are actually "killed", and that we eat them for our own good.


I may only be 20, but the only movie I have ever seen that is probably the "trippiest" movie I've ever seen. You should know, lovely readers, I'm not promoting drugs, I'm just saying that sometimes creative people can get just a tad bit more creative if they're on something like cannabis. You know what I mean?

Okay, if you don't get it, I'll back up my argument. Shall we go on?

I don't make my argument about the connection between cannabis usage without any sort of credible source (I do mean credible sources, so from other people). There's even a clip from the show Real Time With Bill Maher of Seth Rogen describing how his artistic and comedic abilities have many times originated from smoking cannabis.

I bring up this point because I think that this movie truly dove deep into an area which had never been covered before: that is, the minds of supermarket foods (and, of course, a supermarket douche. A literal douche. I'll get back to that point later, though). In fact, it's fairly simple to see that a movie that covers this out-of-the-box idea of what life would be like if food could think and talk and operate similar to how humans do could be categorized as an R-rated film. After all, look at where food does go when it leaves the Supermarket? To our stomachs.

Now, things get even more psychedelic and innovative as the movie goes on. A frizzy-haired, bum-like, obvious stoner--played by James Franco--and who is only known throughout the movie as "Druggie"--shoots up bath salts and

Read that sentence above again. Seriously. Isn't that insane? Who comes up with these things? To be honest, only a team of Rogen, Franco, Kristen Wiig, Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Michael Cera along with many more names could come up with an idea that's just about as innovative as the plot line of this movie. The last time I saw something this abstract was when I saw the 1968 movie "Yellow Submarine", a Beatles movie which totally blew my mind.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
