haven't done movie reviews for a while now like i haven't been writing a lot using a pen. i don't sense any urgency in going to the movies, i find the shows unexceptionally banal.
requiem for a dream (2000). directed by darren aronofsky.
i watched requiem for a dream (2000) 3 years ago and i don't think i could watch it for the second time. not because it was badly done, rather because it was exceptionally done. like it is saying straight up to your face, "you do this, you will get this kinda shit coming to you, i kid you not". it hit me hard. so was another drug movie by danny boyle, the fame director of slumdog millionaire (2008). trainspotting (1996) is a must watch too, i especially can not forget the scene whereby a baby was dead because she was left unfed for days as all the adults in the house were too stoned to noticed.

i don't get that kind of impact anymore when i see the movies aired these days. yesterday i caught stardust (2007) on 412 and i thought, despite the rich allegories what does it want to tell me exactly? so what is robert de niro never played a gay cross-dresser up until now? or am i the one missing the point of post-modernism, that there's no need for meaning in anything?
stardust (2007). directed by matthew vaughn.
i am just wondering.
frozen river (2008). directed by courtney hunt.
having said all that, all one needs to do is to dig deeper though the heap of crap being shoved at one's face by the mighty force of commercialism. i watched frozen river (2008) and liked it. nobody acted in this movie, and that's how it should be otherwise it would have been fake and i wouldn't believe it. because if there is any truth in life, we will do anything to survive.
