Posted at December 31, 1969, 6:00 pm: bollocks. When you see people like that in real life, people whose most major fulfillment and satisfaction has come from taking an assortment of different substances and have therefore only lived to continue with intoxicating their bodies then that's disturbing, when you see it being portrayed so vividly and so accurately on screen whilst your mind panics thinking "f*ck, I've done that, I've done what they're showing, I've cut things like that" and you can really see how the characters took the steps they took then you feel that real disturbing chill in your spine. It's only the casual "pure" mind that may look at them and say, ha they're getting what they deserved, and this is why the story of Sara Goldfarb is so important. It takes away "drugs" as being the main issue, it changes the approach to "addiction" being the issue. Her addiction was T.V. and food, that led her onto the wizz. I don't care as much as the snazzy editing and the classical hip hop sounds or whatever the **** - what shocked me was the incredible accuracy of the drug commentary, the kind of "pill talk" that came out, the way Sara felt after that much speed, the way one pill just doesn't compare anymore, the feeling when you don't have what you want when you want it, and you don't want to feel sober, you want to feel as good as you did last time, it's all there, it's all so true, and it's all so hard to put across which is why I found this film so amazing, because it did manage to put it all across. I didn't "enjoy" the film as much, I didn't feel "entertained" I felt someone had smacked me in the face and said "thank f*ck you're still in good health, don't do that sh*t again" It wouldn't do any good to be shown to kids, they wouldn't understand, it will just be another dream scenario, it will mostly affect people that have been closely involved with that culture (when i say affect i mean "change perception") Let's say a kid smokes, and another one offers him a skunk wrapped J, he's not going to think, this is skunk, omg, this is illegal, my parents will screw, it might lead to harder drugs he's more likely to think, f|ck it, why not. He might then go on to become a less casual smoker of weed, and lets say progress onto something a bit harder when the weed stops doing it for him (we are talking about more of a specific personality here - the personality which is hard to satisfy, the moreness of it all! ) and face it, if they told you weed was really bad, and you find out how harmless it really is, how much have they lied about all the other drugs? it's all there. My fav scene is Leto crying for his mother becuase she was on drugs. The worst part of addiction is you never know you're addicted, it's impossible for you to accept, it's not like thinking "ok, i'm addicted, no hold on i don't want to think that" it's "other people are addicts, i'm just a recreationl user" and your mentality continues like that until one random day it hits you that you've lost 3 stone in a couple of months as well as losing the feeling of reality, the knowingness of existence the grasp of date and time, it's all just escaping...all I can say is Hubert Selby Jnr is a very clued up 74 year old (and the director was probably a druggie ) Oh and the book's also known as "Delusion over Addiction" Original of the message was taken from http://www.movieforums.com/community/ Previous Post: Seen the film!!
