I wanted to list Requiem for a Dream, I really and truly did, but as much as I loved many things about the movie, there were too many things I hated and/or that had my eyes rolling

The whole neglecting the guy in prison til his arm rots off thing, combined with ALL characters, including the mother for crying out loud, winding up totally fucked. It was just too much, even if it IS what might actually transpire in real life, well, it doesn't ring true in a movie

it was like "oh come the fuck on already, not this TOO!" It was too much... trite and cliched... just so unlikely to have all those events happen, and in such a short time too...

Fact is, having the mother get hooked on drugs too was a bit heavy-handed to begin with... understatement is best in movies with as heavy and florid a topic as drugs

I've known lots and lots of drug addicts... lots... and yeah, some of them are dead now because of it... i don't know anyone who is merely a user and not a dealer who's wound up in jail... though i know it must happen... and not one person black or white who was allowed to sit there with a serious injury unattended nor anyone who ended up doing a sex show for rich weirdos

and hey, i live in a crack 'hood, for crying out loud LOL

and many of the addicts i've known have actually recovered

do any of these things happen? i'm sure they do, but way too much for one movie and one very small group of druggies to encounter in such a short time... it's like he took every possible cliche and put it into one movie... why don't you just hit me over the head with a hammer next time instead?

by the time the end of the movie came i was more pissed off at being so preached to, and unable to suspend my disbelief any longer... that stuck with me much more than the things about the movie that were very amazing...
