A movie by a director Darren Aronofsky (director of Pi, who people tend to call the new Kubrick), and also one of my personal favorites.
Let me get one thing out of the way: it's not for the kids. There's enough drugs, graphic sexuality, swearing and a bit of violence here and there. So it has a very deserved R (But we're all adults here, right?).
However, it tells an amazing story of four individuals (a guy, his girlfriend, his friend and his mother), each with a dream. The guy/son Harry and his friend Tyrone hope to start a sucsessful drug business and make a great deal of money off of that. Harry's girlfriend Marion wants to start some sort of clothing store (I haven't seen it in a while, so correct me if I'm wrong). And, last but not least, Harry's mother was invited to be on a self help guru's talk show and wants to lose 15 pounds in order to fit into her old red dress.
However, each person in the movie develops an addiction of sorts and how their lives each start to decay.
It's a great movie, and the actors/actresses that portray the charachters (Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans, Jared Leto and Ellen Burstyn) are amazing. Hell, it was Marlon Wayans' first serious role and he was one of the best in the film (in my opinon).
I highly reccomend it.
Has anyone else seen it?
