    A very powerful moving film about what addiction can turn into. For those who haven't seen it i strongly suggest. The message this film sends is for everyone.

    You seriously should

    Requiem had good parts, but it was oober disturbing

    Pi has some disturbing parts, but the movie is all-around better, less criminal you just feel real bad for the main character

    I did my experimenting, but my sister is a hard-core addict, and she said all this movie did was make her want to get high. But she's mentally fucked. Good movie though. I liked Pi as well.

    It's okay, she chose her path and she has to deal with that. But I still love the movie.

    I own that movie, have seen it many times. It's shot very well, the message is a bit PC though. Just my opinion.

    I saw it many years ago, well before I ever tried a 'hard' drug, so it didn't affect me very strongly. However, I would be reluctant to watch it again today since I have experienced more of the world of hard drugs, and it would likely just depress and disturb me. Luckily, I didn't let my ventures go as far as the people in the film, but I still would find it un-nerving.
