Best anti-drug film IMO.
This means you haven't seen
Reindeerspotting It's also real. And by real, I mean
real. It barely has any script. It's just group of drug users, and one of them decided to film their lives and yeah. The crew was released from jail 2010 (we got really nice prison system here. A guy who murdered someone back in 2001 is being released next year, etc), and the "main character" of the film was found dead in 2010, by hanging himself.
Guess what. I also watched
Requiem for a Dream. I'm impressed and disappointed. People praised the movie as "the most depressing movie ever" with "shocking ending". It was neither of them. I was so ready for depressing movie. I sharpened my knives and was like "let's get emotional motherfuckers!", but no. I guess the reason is because I have watched Reindeerspotting and this was just not as bad. I mean these drug users never even had the problem to get the drugs or anything. You know, it missed the feel of despair somehow. I don't know, it just didn't feel bad overall. Of course some scenes were a bit sad and how the kind of happy looking guy went all bad. And the ending.. Well, yeah, if that happened in real life, it would be really god damn bad, but it wasn't really that shocking. I was expecting them to commit a suicide or something. Also, placing that party scene at that part wasn't the brightest idea. I mean, how I'm supposed to feel bad when there's stuff like that on my screen
But the good things are; It's really well made. I mean it's perfect technically. All the speed-ups, the cutting style (breakfast, for example), split screen, just so cool
And the music, of course.
Overall, I'd say 4/5. Really well made and all, but not as depressing or anything Freddy said, as I was expecting. There is of course a chance that I really got some problems on my emotional-life
I mean really, most of the music I listen to has something to do with death or suicide
(like Mayhem's Freezing Moon, the lyrics are written by Per Ohlin who has completely insane and ended up killing himself), I spend all my days alone in my room listening rest of my family fighting
(well, they don't fight very often nowadays, but they used to fight every day some time ago) wondering why I wasn't invited to the group of people on their final year in high school on Facebook while everyone seems to be there
No wonder I don't get depressed by movies easily. Actually, the movie somehow shows how I see my future. Well, I'm not going to use drugs, but living in a messed up house left out of society with nothing to do with my life. Oh well, just a little off-topic.
E; It's 4 in the morning here, my English-part of the brains isn't working too well at this time
