irreversible. yeah, that french "shock" film. it's deeply depressing because it illustrates with great brutality how you can build your career, build your love life, build a network of wonderful friends, and it's almost hard to get attached to these things knowing that something so horrible can happen that it will destroy everything and everyone in your life. What's worse is that it's all so uncontrollable. The message I got from this film is to live life as it is, because everything in life is so temporary - the good times, the beauty, etc., should be taken advantage of and milked for every second. the characters did this, maybe because they knew it could all flip at any time.
