Has any of you seen the picture called Calvary? I ordered it last night and it won't stay out of my head. It depicts a drug addict shooting up into his arm, but it's really his HP's arm (Jesus). It's shocked me but at the same time it rings true.
I agree.. It has that dark, twisted, haunting quality of "Requim for a Dream". Great and powerful movie- every time I see it it just disturbs me do deeply I literally just sit there for a while after its finished, like "WOW"..and I cry every time. Lost a few friends back in the 90s when heroin became "cool" again around here ( I was a teenager during that time). It's crazy stuff, man. I thank God I was always too scared to try it.
I agree col, but when I was 14 my therapist showed me requiem to deterr me from drugs... All my twisted mind did with it was make me feel like using. I have the sound track though. Love it.

Ha! Yup! The first time I watched it with friends My CRAZY brain felt it "romanticized " heroin use.. Like "how cool" !! But the logical, intelligent part of my brain made me realize how nuts that was. Shows what kinda place I was at in my head as a teenager. Also you never think you'll wind up " like that" when you're a kid- you're gonna be different, right? Ha! Took me til my 30's to realize that wasn't the case with booze
