I couldn't dissagree with you more on this one dear brother.

I thought the whole thing was a cynical, meanspirited, waste of time, and I didn't find any redeeming value in watching it.

The only thing I fealt after watching it is wishing I hadn't.

[confusedmatthew]

mean spirited? Really?

[kometman]

why is he posting new reviews in stead of finishing the 2001 review?

[confusedmatthew]

2001 Part 2 will be up on Monday.

[juggernaut44]

how come u didnt mention anything about the ass to ass scene?

[confusedmatthew]

Because I'm trying to forget! lol.

actually, your comments are the pure definition of a troll. shouting you'll unsubscribe if mathew doesn't live up to your expectations is not only a dick move but it also shows your inability to share an opinion. If you can't share an opinion then you can't function in society.Try sharing some thoughts instead of being a flip flopping subscriber. That kind of douchebaggery really is a terrible quality.

Don't do drugs. Just do something.

Heh, I never heard of that before.

[TrowaBarton89]

i wonder you could review one of my fave films; Gattaca. That film should be noted as it was underrated during its initial release. It is a very good film.

[emily41193]

this movie scared me to death...really its made me so afraid that ill make a bad decision and end up doing something i don't want to do...

then again i might just be paranoid

You're full of shit Matthew. The real reason this movie was made was for an awesome soundtrack that every mediocre Youtuber could use to soundtrack their spaceship/ space battles pornos.

[lotsapillarbiter]

I disagree. I think the reason this movie is compared to an after-school special is not so much because it shows the consequences of drug use but because it lacks depth. The characters are shallow, selfish, and one-dimensional, and the misfortunes that befall them are implausible to the point of being cartoonish.

I just think if you want to make a movie that's a downer, there are plenty of real-life stories of devastation you could use for inspiration...

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

I saw this movie in the theater and I left feeling like shit. As I was leaving some lady had her baby with her. I said as I was leaving "you seriously brought your baby to THIS movie?" I mean even if the kid can't understand the film the music alone will fuck you up.

IM CONFUSED MATTHEW'S #1 FAN!!! AAAHH!!!! :-D

This is one of my favorite movies!

[actorman123]

I think one of the real beauties of the film is that you CANNOT point one real problem. Society, a lack of love, lethargy or even drugs . . . all of them are mere factors, causing the characters to become more and more problematic until they end up in prison . . . or worse.

[highwind8124]

The real villain in this movie isn't drugs. It's actually society. The real evil people are the police, the doctors, the people on the subway - the system and society.

This is a story about four people who fell through the cracks while society watched and did nothing.

They exploited Marion's drug addiction rather than get her to rehab. They through addictive diet pills at the mom without asking why she wanted them.

Watch the movie, and try counting the number of indifferent assholes.

[highwind8124]

The young couple in the movie experience better highs when laying on a couch together, not from drugs.

The author of the novel, in the intro, describes the ultimate problem - the American dream. This pursuit of materialism above all else.

When Harry proposes she open up her own fashion shop, they fall in love with that goal which is not worth more than risking getting arrested, addicted to drugs, and addicting customers. A minimum wage job would do, and that was they needed to realize.

[highwind8124]

Here comes Ron with da comments. Ahem.

A career or work could not have saved Ms. Goldfarb, the mother. The problem of this movie was not drugs, and it was not time wasting. The ultimate problem was the lack of love.

Seymour, the husband, left her. All the mother wanted in the whole world was for her son to visit her, and she felt so alone that the only way she felt she could get that is if she appeared on television. She wanted so badly for togetherness, to hear her son say "I love you".
