THIS FILM SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR ALL TEENAGERS TO WATCH IN HIGH SCHOOL IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISSUADE THEM FROM EVER USING DRUGS AND GETTING SUCKED INTO THE INEVITABLE DOWNWARD SPIRAL THAT ENSUES WITH REPEATED DRUG USE. THIS FILM ABSOLUTELY LEFT A LASTING IMPRINT ON ME AS FAR AS PROVIDING THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT TO LIVE MY LIFE. IT STILL GIVES ME THE HEEBIE JEEBIES JUST THINKING ABOUT THE EERIE COMBINATION OF THE BACKGROUND MUSIC AND CINEMATOGRAPHY, IN ADDITION TO THE MASTERFULLY DEVISED SCREENPLAY AND THE POIGNANT PORTRAYALS/INTERACTIONS OF EACH CHARACTER. IT'S ONE MOVIE THAT I AM GRATEFUL THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE, BUT NOW I JUST WISH I COULD UNSEE SOME OF THE SHOCKING SCENES.

Synopsis
Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) is a retired widow, living in a small apartment. She spends most of her time watching TV, especially a particular self-help show. She has delusions of rising above her current dull existence by being a guest on that show. Her son, Harry (Jared Leto) is a junkie but along with his friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) has visions of making it big by becoming a drug dealer. Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) could be fashion designer or artist but is swept along in Harry's drug-centric world. Meanwhile Sara has developed an addiction of her own. She desperately wants to lose weight and so goes on a crash course involving popping pills, pills which turn out to be very addictive and harmful to her mental state.

disturbing but also special
The most irritating and unpleasant movie i've watched. Sexuality, drug(or smt.) addiction, miserable family bond. To be influenced if you want , watch it. Additively i can say, soundtracks by Clint Mansell was awesome.

What dream?
This might be an okay movie for the time it came out however lack of substance, shallow pow and judgemental approach makes watching comparable with a colonoscopy examination-no matter how short it lasts you still thinking when it's gonna end. Nice techniques but it begins getting boring after half way in. By the way heroine is not an equivalent to losing weight pills. Also after "the wire" this one is like sesame street.
