413. "Maps" The Front Bottoms
"Maps"
The Front Bottoms
The Front Bottoms
2011
I think anyone who has ever moved away can relate to this song.
We just watched Young Adult, which was my favorite movie of 2011. (It passed Hanna upon my second viewing). There is an amazing scene at the end where Matt's sister gives Mavis (Charlize Theron) maybe the worst pep talk in movie history. She basically tells Mavis that it's okay that she is an awful person, since she is better than all the people in their hometown. She is prettier, skinnier, and she got out. Mavis, after a period of reflection, decides to believe again in these lies she's believed her whole life.
And then the kicker.
"Can I come with you?"
And Mavis puts on her best faux sincere mean girl voice.
"No, you're good here."
And Matt's dummy sister is visibly crushed.
She never thought of herself as one of the good, hardworking, regular looking people of her hometown.
She thought was terrible and glamorous.
Damn that's good moviemaking.
