A glimpse at our fall

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2001)

Imagine seeing the life of an addict through the addicts mind many have done it but not to this downfall depth. I was more then amused with this film in fact one might say i was intreguid that the film had nothing to hide. yet if it did it would make a great sequel. I am a very pickie movie watcher and to actually have nothing bad to say about the movie is a rarity. Stand out performances by the talented cast of actors yet one seemed to shine himself above the rest. Maybe its due to his comic relief in most movies but Marlon Wayans played a part that would have given me second thoughts on the direction of his acting career. The depth of his character seemed to keep everything glued on each scene he was in, a miraculously played part that deserved recognition. Jared Leto gave a astonishing portrayal of a Love so in depth that drugs couldent stop it, yet near the end it somewhat does. The dedication of the faces the actors kept during the movie is what captured me. The editor of this film gets my highest rating in interest i was in love with the way he used the scenes with drugs and made them so mystical i would need to try them to understand the feeling. Ellen Burstyn gave her best performance ive ever scene so good that me and associates of mine felt so sorry for her within the room you could hear "aww poor thing" she captured a part of my interest never caught before and for that main reason this film was more then good. It was societies life in its realest form believe or dont believe but its out there manifesting into our minds like a sweet song entitled"requeim for a dream."
