It will open your eyes to your addiction whichever it is

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2009)

It's one of the movies that shows you how disgusting life is. And where so many movies try to show addiction for drugs as the only kind of addiction that should be feared, this movie exhibits other kinds of addictions that can be as dangerous as drugs i.e. TV, sex and show-off.
It is true that the movie focuses on probably four or five types of addictions but it rings a bell and makes you think that surely each one of us has his/her own addiction and if it was not controlled wisely, it will lead to undesirable consequences.
Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and specifically Marlon Wayans are extremely geniuses in their roles with once-in-a-lifetime performance from Ellen Burstyn. I find it so strange that those who didn't love the movie, at least admit the fine acting of the main roles! Darren Aronofsky is a director that deserves a careful study of his masterwork... this director, if you have seen so many movies, you will notice that he has come with something new of his own and he is worth of same credits given to directors like Tarantino, Spielberg, and my favorite De Palma.
Music is so beautiful which also gives a star to Clint Mansell.
This movie as you can evidently see has so many strong elements and therefore is a must-watch movie.
