This movie reminds me of The Weeknd's Trilogy. It reflects the short Heaven and bitter Hell of drug use; it's the diesel in the needle that shoots you to the moon and back, and it's why Darren Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors. He's like a baker making a cake, combining all the necessary ingredients in order to make it both delicious and addicting. The movie is made with brilliant acting credited to Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans. They, along with powerful music that envelops the characters throughout the highs and lows of their usage, portray the "deviled" experience that junkies and tweakers can relate to all too well and ill.
If the
"Just Say No" program doesn't work for you, I highly recommend this
movie. It doesn't glamorize drugs and the users; instead, what seems like a
promising painting, is smeared with the hard and harrowing facts of what
continued pill-popping, dope-snorting, and needle-injecting can do to a person,
and how it transforms them into a person they don't even recognize.
