“Orange County†is not just a movie it’s a state of mind. As always, a movie for teenagers about a teenager who finds what he really wants is almost always quite inspiring.
This particular movie was about a teenager discovers his true potential self among his inspiring characters of his first writing, his family, his friends, and his love. And he doesn’t need to go to some other place away from his hometown Orange County to seek his true self. OK, the movie maybe not that deep. It’s light and fun actually. But that was the message, other than being a drug addict is very dangerous and will get you to do what a sane man would never do.
And so, the place you come from is worth fighting for. At this time of year, the people fought for going to a place they call home. Some got the chance, some did not. It is a tradition or not, home, will always be home, and will be a place perfect with all of its imperfections, complete with all of its incompleteness, waiting somewhere, anywhere, for us to go home.
