My dream is the nightmare of reality

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2002)

Another user by the name of rupcousens made this comment about the last 10 minutes of the movie "Would Ellen Burstyn's character really have been treated that way, and with such lack of compassion?" Now this movie is a little more than straight drugs are baaad mmmkay, this movie is about human life about love, about friendship, about deceit, addiction, mayhem, lies, and the streets. Something you have to get through your head right now is that the streets are not the sheltered home that most of society breathes in. The streets ARE rough and dangerous. The streets place no value or morally fit rules on any single individual regardless of race or sex. So I dare to say that the characters were portrayed at the end as perhaps just? Maybe it was meaning injustice because of their gentle hearts? Who knows? The brilliance of all elements regarding direction, editing, producing, acting, casting etc were awesome and the movie stands ground a message higher than its message, this movie stands as one of the greatest.
I give this movie a 10/10 and i really dont have to say anything else do I?
