I just watched this movie the other night while I was stoned as, I thought the movie was fantastic. I really enjoyed the portrayal that the all ended up losing them self.
Uhh...because a lot of less-publicized/promoted films have captured the essence of addiction much better?
A really awful film. Irritatingly one-note and melodramatic, not to mention emotionally manipulative. Director uses a lot of flashy tricks which just get annoying after not very long. The "message" is simple and obvious... just a bad, bad film that gets ridiculously high praise.
+1,000!! I don't understand what all the hype is about, frankly, I was very disappointed when I finally saw the movie. But I guess that the passage of time doesn't help either - the film hasn't aged well in my opinion.
Trainspotting.Such as....
Trainspotting.
On the extras of the dvd one of the theme they set is that ANYTHING has the potential to become an addiction
not going to argue that, but you do realize the author of the book, hubert selby jr, was an ex-junkie?
i recommend the book, a lot, the author's writing style is awesome, he writes as if he were talking, spells words wrong and shit, doesn't use quotation marks
Anyways, here is my question: The mother takes these "Diet Pills" which, I am assuming were some type of amphetamine. What I never understood, was 1. Why on earth would her refrigerator make violent pounding/smashing noises and seem to POP OUT at her in the film? I never understood this. I have done amphetamine, I have done cocaine and I have smoked crack/freebase cocaine and I have never experienced any scary auditory psychosis or hallucination. I was wondering if this was put into the movie for effect, for fun, or if this is real?
