A moving example of man's drive for happiness.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2006)

The first time I saw this movie was in shock. I was so moved by Jared Leto's performance and Ellen Burstyn's. They choose the right people for the movie. The last fifteen minutes are painful to watch, NOT because it's bad acting or boring but because it's so real and gritty that I feel sick when I see Jennifer Connelly on the table "dancing", Jared Leto in the hospital, Ellen Burstyn in the ward and Malon Wayans in prison.
The movie made me realize how far people are willing to go just to be happy. I always knew I would do whatever it takes, legally, to become what I want but to see on the verge of life and death running toward what they believe to make them happy so sick you can really see how far people are willing to go.
I think everyone should see this movie AT LEAST once in their life. When I bought I took it over to my friends house and we watched it in his living room with is 12 year old sister and I told her "watch this. just don't leave until the end, and you'll feel something inside." She watched and felt different, even if it was just about never injecting drugs at least she would take something away. I think she realized how power human's will is when it comes to happiness.
