I was very much obsessed with this film upon its release -- as I'm sure many other young men were at the time. I didn't see it in theaters, however, but with a friend one afternoon at his house. We actually found ourselves more often repeating this quotation, which comes some time around his run-in with Catherine Keener's characters and life on the beach: "How important it is in life not necessarily to be strong… but to feel strong."
I always wondered what happened to Emilie Hirsch and why he stopped getting leading roles.
Also, the Eddie Vedder soundtrack is also a big part of what made the movie great, imo.
“…To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.” I remember that moment in the film, Garri!
I’ve wondered the same thing about Emile Hirsch… Did a bit of digging and found that he was charged with aggravated assault and intoxication back in 2015… 😮 Apparently it got sorted but has impacted his career ever since. Looks like he’s doing indie films and action flicks these days.

And YES, what a soundtrack!
