Yeah she got help, went it NA and all that. It was fricked for a while she was taking upwards of 30 vicodins/day. The so who prescribed them was some Albanian piece of shit working at a pill mill who fled the country when the DEA started investigating him
I woke up early from jet lag and decided to watch this before I went into work. I had trouble focusing that day and I blamed the jet lag but I was lying
She didn't even need a doctor or meds. Amphetamine psychosis goes away once the substance leaves your body. She would have been fine if she just stopped doing drugs for a few days, a week max.
That's exactly what happens in the novel. At that point, she refuses to comply with the doctors out of spite. It's implied (by her staring daggers) in the "meet with the old ladies again" scene that the film is trying to go for the same thing.
Her arc towards the end was infuriating. Everything else is at least semi-believable, but doctors would not prescribe fricking elector-convulsive therapy for amphetamine psychosis. Not even in the dark age of psychiatry would they have done that.
i made my parents watch this movie with me when i was a kid and now they don't take movie recommendations from me anymore
L.A.
I watched it with my parents too. I didn't know at the time but my mom had an opiate addiction that she was hiding from us 🙁
i bet your mom does ass ta ass
that is fricked, sorry anon
afraid to ask but was it a happy ending or sad ending, did she stop or no?
explain

Oh hey
why didn't she just go see a doctor and get meds for her mental health?

You speak from experience?
The shadow people almost got me, anon, but I won out

did you see the movie? she went to the doctor, he never looked at her, and gave her more rx
>did you see the movie?
no i've never seen the film.
She deserved the oscar for that role
She was fricked before the drugs. Her son was a deadbeat that kept stealing her shit and selling it.

Doctors also aren't going to arrest people for having a heroin overdose or a drug infected arm.
Shit, I forgot that's what he was arrested for. Yeah, never mind, the entire fricking last third of the film is stupid lmao
the movie goes downhill at the moment that drug boss gets shot by his driver in the SUV. The shit that goes wrong for them starts to defy logic
I think they are arrested because Marlon is out on bail and they still cross state lines
Also maybe Leto lets slip that they are on a drug run
Why would the doctors care about any of that? Why would they call the police?
Why do people pretend that misery porn like this shit and Martyrs is artful? Why don't they just watch Saw and get off the high horse?
The artsy shots trick them into thinking it’s deep
i hate boomers and their fascination with goyvision so fricking much bros
>said with no awareness as you stare at your phone all day every day
Did anyone else jerk off to the ass to ass?
>knows he's buying stolen goods off a junkie
>makes the victim buy it back on top of that
based
No shit he is a israelite
Yo what the frick is that Hector Salamanca?!
yeah that's margolis
>your mother sneeds you like a moose needs a hat rack
Never got this expression, must be Yiddish or something
Well, let's see... A moose wouldn't need a hat rack because a) he's got a lot of spiky horns to hang hats on and b) he's a moose who doesn't wear hats
This movie broke my fricking soul, the only movie that bummed me out so hard that I to this day wish I could unsee.
