I Heart Huckabees: Some More Wetlands Please

I Heart Huckabees is the movie I think about when considering preserving the wetlands in opposition to malls and suburbia. A movie that really doesn't seem to follow too closely on this subject except it is the incidental profession of the main character. Throughout it, its the background current that pushes almost all the key characters through an existential crisis surrounding how they should view there own reality. I think it tries to act at this period in time where malls were still popping up and the completely inability to save suburbia from all the terrible environmental decisions they were making. It serves as this project that was impossible to prevent so when he has shown he saved a rock from being moved in the first seen its this pitiable success that drives the rest of the movie.

Suburbia has a strange history in its creation of wealth separated from the inner city poor, how it developed setbacks to keep real estate prices high in certain areas and the sprawl of development encompassing all these free standing homes on plots of land. On one end I grew up in a nice suburban neighborhood and genuinely liked the experience. On the other the amount of waste generated from big malls and huge parking lots wasn't thoughtful in its design approach. Founding upon a history based in discrimination I love the idea of its rehabilitation back to greenspaces and wetlands.
