a movie that often is misinterpreted

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2005)

This movie has an excellent depiction of how someone's addiction can ruin their life. However, there are certain scenes in the movie that people can not really understand, unless they have been strongly addicted to something in their life. Jennifer Connelly's character (Marion) at first glance starts to really upset me as the movie moves along. It took me a second glance to see what her character was really depicting: an addiction. Once understood, I really understood the movie in full. Each time I watch it, I get a new perspective, and understand more of the movie, taking different things in, and understanding more and more how it all comes together. Furthermore, this is a great movie to show individuals who have debated using illegal drugs, or struggle with the temptation. It will definitely give them a look into what can and will happen as a result, and why they really are illegal.
