Corey Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 This is perhaps one of the best movies I have ever seen, bar none. It makes me feel so depressed after seing it every time. Has anyone else ever seen this wonderful movie? And if so, what's your take on such an awe-inspiring flick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 [size=1][color=firebrick]I [i]love[/i] this movie. It's by far one of my favorites, though I agree, it really makes me sad. The first time I saw it I was crying like a baby by the end. There's that one little half way point in the movie, when [spoiler]Jared Leto's character realizes what sort of drugs his mom is really on[/spoiler], and you realize there's no chance in hell for a happy ending. I started crying then and I don't think I really stopped. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. I've realized now that the key to watching this movie is spreading it out. If I watch it today, then I have to wait a few days for my happy meter to fill back up before I can watch it again. It's really.. emotionally draining. But it's so beautiful. All three of the actors were amazing, though, and the story itself is staggering. It just really made me thankful, I guess, to be who I am and to live where I do.. Tech-wise.. obviously, the editing is awesome. I love the angles, and the quick flashes that occur [spoiler]every time they shoot up; it kind of gives you an idea of what it's like, I suppose. At least, you understand it a little more.[/spoiler] But of course, the entire movie is like that, too. You just seem to understand that lifestyle a little bit more. Definitely one of the best films I've ever seen, highly recommended, though if you're anything like me, grab a box of tissues before you settle in. And maybe something to hug. Either way, it's [i]fantastic.[/i][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadClown Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I agree, I liked this movie a lot, thought I too was emotionally drained at the end of it. An interesting tid bit, the Simpsons episode about the sandwhich at Krusty Burger that everyone liked did an homage to this movie. When Homer eats the burger, they use they same type of sequence as the heroine injections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonstar Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 :D We watched this at college, no idea why, but we did. And it was amazing, very depressing though (not to mention that most of my group aren't old enought o watch it...) A couple of people walked out cos it got kinda porn-like. But I thought it was great, plus it really inspired me for the animation I made for that project, kinda surreal and dreammy with lots of flashes. The strange thing was, my boyfriend asked me had I ever seen it when we were on the phone the Friday before. The same thing happened with 'The Fly' and then a topic apperad on here about that too. Very creepy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
