This is a psychological film about four different drugs addiction, this film was new to me, it kinda show us the life of the drug addicts living through and how they’re craving for drugs, and make their life hard. I like the performances of the four characters which really brings out the mood of they are drug addicts, I personally didn't overcome a real drug addict but the film was able to illuminate it like it was real.
I also very impressed by the Mise - en -shot and Mise - en - scene in this film which have very good set up. The beginning of the scene where the director show us the split screen is really catching my attention, because this is my first time seeing split screen was used in a film, but the down side is I kinda didn't know where I should focus on, on the left or right? But still it is quite interesting how the director using it. The film seems to keep repeat different montage for different drugs taking and also where the character drug dealing, I actually didn't see an actual drug or drug deal before but still the montage kinda shows like it was real. The uses of montage is very interesting, (which I personally like it), the pros is that it can cut lose the amount of works but the cons is that eventually it will get boring because of the multiple times using it.
I also very like the lighting in this film, because it is more of a "dark" film the lighting for me is very good, because it kinda give me the feel mystery and anxiety mood while I watching it rather than bright and colorful lighting which will not make film feel like a "dark" film anymore and it will lead the audience to feel confuse. The actor's movement are very good too, I personally really like the character Sara Goldfarb ( Ellen Burstyn ) because I actually quite impressed by the scene where she was scared of the refrigerator and after she takes the pills she was happy and high when she was watching the TV. The setting of the background is very good too, because it kinda show us the anxiety mood for the scene.
Climax
The ending of the film is very executed too, because it really shows that if you are drug addict you will have a tough life. We can see many rapid cut of scenes of the four characters having a tough life because of drugs, Tyrone was a labor in the prison, Sara undergoes the electroconvulsive therapy , Harry got his arm cut off and Marion was being humiliated in a private sex show.
Will I recommend it?YES! I will definitely recommend this film because it kinda show the consequences of having drugs, and there is also many interesting Camera shots was showed in this film. Special thanks to Mr. Joe to tell us that all of the movies are fake! Even if it was based on true story. Which I totally agree with it, I learned a new thing from him which is called "Hollywood realism", which kinda show us that the film may looks real but actually it is not.
