FFF's Resident Pimp
Hudson Milbank is a successful Hollywood screenwriter who suddenly and strangely finds himself without any emotional feelings. He tries doctor after doctor and shrink after shrink, but nothing works. The Golf Channel, lesbian exercise classes and a dizzying variety of pills get him through the day, but don't quite solve his problem. His writing partner tries everything to get him back to normal, but it's not until Hudson meets Sara that he finds a real motivation to get better and to actually start feeling again. From the writer of Deuce Bigalow, comes NUMB, a romantic comedy following an unusual man looking for strange love.
Screenwriter Hudson Milbank suffers from acute depersonalization disorder. So alienated from his own life that he makes the chronically depressed look perky, Hudson lives alone, watches The Golf Channel all day, can't hang on to a relationship, shoplifts in order to get his adrenalin up off the floor, fears that thinking about his dad's death will bring it to pass, loathes his mother, and in general, is as nutty as a crapshack in a peanut farm. Obsessed with the underlying sadness that infuses his wretched existence, Hudson is a man in hell, but he thinks that his long catalog of dismally unsatisfying and mutually self-destructive relationships is over when SARA stumbles into his life. He knows she can save him. She knows he has to save himself. Together they save each other.
I watched it last night, and im still like OMFGAWESOME, and am about to put it on again..
its strange tho that i felt so comfortable watching this film and thinking to myself, thats how i am, as i got more into the film and watched it further in i was more and more convinced that this is what i suffer, or at least WILL suffer from in the future. How he is in the film is reminicent of exacally how i was and still am from time to time. I feel numb to the world and i would much rather spend all of my time alone and indoors that outside with people, and when i am out with people i will often get very anxous to leave, and i just feel like a stranger in my own body.
Hudson (Matthew perry) says in the film
"I can look at my hand, and although i can physically feel it, it does seem real, it doesnt seem to belong to me. Im a alien in my own body"
I often feel like this and the naming of the film is smart to how it makes you, Numb to the outside world, uncaringas to what happnes around you...
