Ol' Shooter McGavin bought Happy's grandma's house, and now he's conniving grandma's into becoming diet pill addicts.
Movie was ****** up. From start to finish really. I think the entire hour and forty minutes I was sporting a cringe face. At the beginning they all were flawed of course (Wayans and skinny Rob Lowe look-a-like moreso), but
The fact that Aronofsky could develop them into junkies, addicts, hallucinogen freaks in about 100 minutes is some pretty spectacular storytelling. The severed arm :x
Jesus Christ. The pan out of him on the hospital bed with only 47.26% of his ****...
Jennifer Connelly turning into a straight-up *****. "*** to ***" WOW. I guess I should have known what I was in for when the front of the case read, "Director's Cut" and the back of the case displayed the movie rating: "Unrated".
The Blu Ray main menu just was eerie too man. Jesus.
Marlon Wayans was such a random choice I feel like. Just coming off the Wayan Bros. TV show, and in that same year he did the first Scary Movie?
What kind of acting flow is that?
No doctor would ever renew her prescription like that after she was tripping out at her check-up. That part was where the story sort of faltered and became like "C'mon". I mean, aside from all the rest of the trippy-ness. The sequence with that signature "Requiem Of A Dream" track where the mother is receiving ECT, Wayans is doing ***** work, Connelly is tag-teaming the dirt road with some unknown chick, and Harry is getting his arm treated was... brilliantly deplorable. So excruciating to watch, but damn... I feel like the simplest of points Aronofsky successfully got across was "DON'T. DO. HARD. ****." Noted.
The imagery was unique, and that was something I pinpointed the entire way. Her diet breakfast, the heroin, the weed/blunt, the clock, the imaginary cupcakes/danishes... all of it was so Aronofsky. Never seen Pi, but of his work this was like Black Swan on steroids.
At least at vantage point of just being disturbed.
You're all right though. Just a one-time watch. Bought it on Blu two months ago or so hearing great things, but to be honest I had ZERO clue what it was about. I think the whole emotional catastrophe you all alerted me of was averted just because I was bracing myself for it
Probably going to return it now. That movie serves it purpose, and only needs to be watched once. Any more than that and you're just a weird ****.
