Sweet damn, that movie is 20 years old already??

This movie means a lot to me, the message not only aged well but it's still meaningful to plenty of people. Society pushes the idea that an adult needs to be mature, even in your interests and will look at you wrong if you show interest in stuff that are intended to be for kids or for babies. But I love how Spongebob doesn't fit that criteria! Yes, he's an adult who's stupidly childish and likes stuff for babies and he's a functional man who continues to be himself despite the mockery. He doesn't care if he's being weird or not, he knows his interests aren't something bad. Spongebob manages to be immature but act like an adult when needed which makes him an interesting foil to Squidward and the Bikini Bottomies; they're less childish than Spongebob but they're definitely more bitter and less successful. In the show it was implied that they have given up on their dreams and desires for whatever reason and they lashed out at Spongebob for having a dream 💀 but this is quite realistic since IRL, there's plenty of people who are bitter because they didn't fulfilled their dreams or were done dirty by life and they take it out on people who did nothing to deserve it. And interestingly enough, in spite of coming off as more "mature" they mostly show it when it's not needed such as being a bunch of condescending assholes to Spongebob or making fun of him having a loving relationship with his grandma, but ironically, it makes them even more immature than Spongebob. They don't act like adults when it's really needed, they just behave like bratty and immature bullies who can't stand seeing a person being everything they can never be; a happy person.

And this movie highlights it even more. Growing up sucks and there's nothing we can do about it because we're all next, but... not everything is bad. Growing up also means discovering and enjoying new things, doing stuff you couldn't do before but now can, new opportunities and even better; making your inner child happy. Spongebob spent the whole movie proving that he can still have fun while being a responsable adult and the song "Just a Kid" by wilco gave an inspiring lyric that helps me push forwards; "Everybody, everyone, somebody, anyone has to grow up. Let's have some fun!" It makes me realize that sulking about how growing up is lame won't lead me to anywhere so at this point, it's better to accept it and go on with my life.

Anyways, happy 20th birthday to this goated movie.
