The most transformative two hours of my life

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2019)

I used to be annoyed at the idea that it's necessary to rid oneself of all hatred to really be happy. It still seems fairly unobtainable but at least now I understand the devastation that can await one who lets their anger consume them.
Were I to have undergone the same chain of events as Derek (Edward Norton is brilliant), I reckon I'd invariably have reacted as he did, which isn't a pretty thought. What separates most antisocial young men from most healthy ones is pure luck, but of course there are also many who suffer that have the sort of perspective this film grants the viewer.
Now, the cathartic relief of ruining my life - and the lives of those around me, which I hadn't truly considered before - isn't very tempting.
