a painful experience. watching the movie that is. i dont know what hit me. its horrible to see people going crazy chasing wild dreams and then those dreams dying pulling those people along. a multiple death. of dreams and people. of souls that have been spent on dreaming. dreams can change life, they can make it die. addiction is the biggest harm you can do to yourself. addiction kills. addiction strips you down to mere banal flesh and bone and need.
