Its finally Friday

I went to go see "Requiem for a Dream" last night - I loved the movie and I'm glad that I saw it, but it wasn't a good idea to go when my mood was a bit 'off'.

A big hug and thank-you to all of my friends last night who were concerned at Diesel . . . that movie just rubbed me in a really wrong way and instead of just letting it out - I kept it in. And I ended up feeling very unhappy.

I love you all :)

J and I were talking about the movie on the way home last night - B had told him what some of the scenes were, and without telling me, J said that he could see where it would really bother you. In addition, he'd asked me not to see the movie either, since "you both have similar feelings on stuff like this, and while I dont like telling you to not/do things, I know how you'd react to this movie, and you'd probably not be able to make it all the way thru." Anyway, I hope you're feeling better about things today! Anytime you want hugs or stuff, we'll be there. :)
much love,
S.

Thanks for the hugs and support :)

Actually, this is the first movie I've been effected by in this way. I've seen very disturbing and gorey movies (hmmm, does "Faces of Death" count in that category) and none of them have bothered me before.

It wasn't anything gross that happened, is the sincere emotion and the power of it all that the characters displayed . . . much more real than anything else I've ever seen.

But no, I don't think it would be a good movie for you (based on the little I know if your taste in movies).

... is a beautiful, truthful, gut wrenching, hideous movie.

It was very well done. But it showed the ugliness in humans all too well. It showed how far humans will degrade and defile themselves to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. It made me physically ill (not to the point of puking, but I walked out queasy). What the girlfriend did to herself for love of him made me sick inside, crying, then past tears into shaken and sad.
