dramatically amazing

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2008)

this is one of the best movies ever made with the best performances. Ellen Burstyn is just incredible in her role as sarah and jared leto and jennyfer conelly are also very good. I think the clear message of this movie is anti-drugs but also found many elements important of this movie as how dreams can fall to pieces, people can be naive and loneliness can make you desperate and even can drive you to destruction in the case of sara. I felt also so depressed for the characters of conelly and leto that were in love in such a pure way and then became depraved and destructed by their addictions. Addictions destroy everything but not only addiction for drugs but also for people, for feeling right and loved or even happy. The last scene had me crying till the credits ended and i just couldn't stop. Its so heartbreaking to watch how this characters that seemed full of dreams, happiness and hopes at the beginning could end up becoming so pathetic and dark. When letos character lost his arm i was impressed and also when conelly was selling her body for drugs and sara was in the siquiatric hospital, those were painful scenes to watch. But i think one scene that also got me crumble was the part when conelly and leto talk on the phone and by then you just know nothing will be the same again for them. The photography and effects were just excellent and managed to drive you crazy but also to know what characters were feeling when they were high. This movie must be watched because as hard as it is important for everyone to realize how dangerous drugs really are and how addictions and extremes can destroy your life no matter how old or smart you think you are.
