Traffic scene re-edit

[ShelbourneFCdublin]

there's many great scenes in many movies, this is for sure one of them, not only for the performence of both actor/acrtress, but also how in real life similar instances occur, parents looking for drugs {whatever substance that may be} the scene is played out so brilliantly, someone without a knowledge of drugs may include violence in this scene, when in reality somebody that's really just taken a hit has no intention of violence/nor does the parent, this is why this movies is so great/directed

[ShelbourneFCdublin]

it's the way the director/writer see's the difference between drugs/and the use of drugs so well in this scene, the way in which most other movies doesen't. but at the same time still with the verbal anger.. perfection akin to real life in such a situation but of course other parts of the film showing the drug trade more akin to real life {if what somewhat diluted}, the movie was intended to show different sides to the drug trade and thats what it does. political/use and not so much violence

[ShelbourneFCdublin]

as other films about drugs/ the father knows she's strung out but still he can't accept this, still he has to go looking for the drugs.. like real life it's so hard to accept for a parent that their child {espcially of this social standing} could be involved in such things, this movie opens peoples eyes to drugs and who it effects EVERYONE

[add2718]

1:07 that must have been one hell of a dump that she took.

[VolumeTurnedDown]

The fact that this scene does echo so may typical parent-teenager interactions is what makes this story arch in the movie so powerful and disturbing. With the wrong brain chemicals, those little spats would be steps on the highway to addiction, homelessness, and prostitution.

Erika's character in this movie was such a piece of shit junkie. Her father should've disowned her for good.

[Xyberfaust]

This is how my mother acts when I'm masturbating.

[luckyphilster]

@Xyberfaust gold!

[TigIt79]

my favorite scene! this was me n my dad when i was 16, lol

[BobMarleysBest]

it sounds like he's sneezing when he says "well fuck you"

[FMAStudent]

wheres the scene where she's getting pounded by the black guy / drug dealer?

[CrAzYF00L]

"Fuck you, you're like the Gestopo" dohh that's telling him..

[bwd81977]

She is the most beautiful girl in the world!

[Jackmeoff]

yeah you fucking would, you ignorant hick. Only pieces of shit like you would disown a family member.

[capnhands]

If that was my daughter, I would kick her ass and throw her out. I would be humiliated cause I would have taught her better then that.. I'm not gonna have a junkie for a daughter. I would not even care if she od's I would say "I don't have a drug addicct in my family"

[hyperseauton]

Go learn real family values and don't listen what Cheney and Co. are spouting on the subject.

Would you not want to help your daughter, like in the film, and help her into and in therapy?

Most drug abusers use drugs because of unstable or loveless relationships in their lives.

[mrwesdaddy]

Most attractive movie drug abuser ever.

[eblasphamy1]

[Sarapuco]

one of the best scenes of the film.

"who is it?" lmao

[bubbabubbabooba]

she shoulduv won an oscar for this one scene................the way she delivered the line to her father when he's looking for what she hid.............just a touching moment between father and daughter......wha ha ha!!

[rustedrails]

It's not meth, she's freebasing cocaine. Basically mix coke with baking soda and water, heat it up and it forms crack. I like to do it when I have the extra money, between prostituting and trafficking immigrants. Good times.

[penbus492]

She does an amazing job hear. How did she getthe eyes to look like thatshe is on point for someone who never did it she did exactly what you do when on crack. The sweat the eyes the looks oh my god she did amazing. It is beyond acting here i have seen this lifestyle for I am a recovered heroin addict 4 years now and you cant fake that. She went way beyond. I wounder if they ever realy do drugs on movies to make it more real. Like on Blow and weed movies.

[DougglesMagnificent]

@rustedrails JESUS CHRIST its so embarrassing when people try to make edgy jokes with wrong drug knowledge. its heroin. you cant make FREEBASE WITH TINFOIL you poo butts

[rustedrails]

@DougglesMagnificent You obviously don't know much about drugs...she does do heroin, but not til later in the film, when she sees it in the dealers bag of goodies. OR baddies. : / He mixed the COKE they were all snorting with water and baking soda (not shown, the director didn't want us youngins to "try this at home". U ever done it??? Kudos if not,btw.

[DougglesMagnificent]

@rustedrails you smoke heroin off tinfoil, you smoke crack through a pipe - freebasing on foil just evaporates, thats why she is obviously smoking heroin here. yes i was a heroin addict for three years, and like most addicts i started off snorting and smoking H off foil. nobody smokes coke off foil - but try it!

[rustedrails]

@DougglesMagnificent DUDE, she is smoking FREEBASE. Have you ever actually WATCHED this movie??? Earlier in the movie, it SHOWS Topher Grace showing her how to make freebase and they smoke it together, off tinfoil. WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE.

[rustedrails]

@DougglesMagnificent In the beginning of the film Topher Grace shows her how to make freebase and they smoke it together off tinfoil. She even says, "Is this like freebasing", and he says, "Not like...it IS."  SHe SHOOTS heroin LATER in the movie. Jesus WATCH the friggin film.

[Jaymansharma]

@rustedrails

No its not its heroin

[Reqrezentin]

@rustedrails ..

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooool

[jarileigh]

What drugs is she doing in this scene???? I've always wanted to know! First she's snorting coke, then she's putting water with it and burning it -what is she doing???????

[GYPSYQUEEN5050]

She is smoking meth.

[Sarapuco]

no she's not

[GYPSYQUEEN5050]

Um yes she is

[Sarapuco]

nnnno.

there is no mention of crystalline methamphetamine hydrochloride in the film WHATSOEVER. added, Seth teaches her how to freebase cocaine in the beginning, and that is what she gets hooked on, and that's what she's doing in the bathroom.

but yeah, you're right, Soderbergh ;)

[Sarapuco]

coke (she's smoking it, otherwise known as 'freebasing')

[penbus492]

free base its what they did before smokeing crack from a pipe. You need baking soda to mix it. also you can shoot cocain by mixing with water and crack by mixing with lemon juice or vinegar. Itburns a bit if you miss the vein. Its a sure way to hell.Only few make it back.

[Steadno]

she is lit!

[mysticism9]

she's so cute

[mignonhenne]

yes,oh yes,that's it , you're there..
