Welcome to Life or Afterbirth

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2009)

This is the story behind the story of all those stories you read in the news everyday. Here is an explanation for all those arrests of celebs and freak accidents on the highway and shootings in malls. Apparently, human beings cannot live without excess or addiction. As long as we let ourselves be defined by television, Madison Avenue, Ms. Spears, and Ms. Hilton, we'll always look for something that at least makes us feel better about ourselves for awhile. Depending on your experience, this movie is either a warning or biography. I give the producers and director all the credit in the world for going ahead with this film. It couldn't have been easy. The criminal world of Hip Hop alone and the Mafiosa record moguls could've done a lot to stop it. I'm surprised it got made. The actors are flawless. They all deserve the Academy's best, but unfortunately that industry is tainted as well and I'm sure the awards in 2000 went to popular causes or pc racial types. Oh well, out here in Nobodyville, life goes on with or without the dope fiends.
