      The Wackness--Individual, Eccentric and Lonely Life

      A teenage drug dealer and a psychiatrist discuss typical adolescent problems and a midlife crisis. Parents' feud, first sex, no friends, loneliness, no sex with wife for several years, lovelorn, divorce..... In fact, after watching these American films, I have the impression that marijuana is just like smoking cigarettes. Medicines are just a part of life; other than that, they are no different from ordinary people. Selling marijuana is just part time. I am still studying after school, working...

      How to successfully sell marijuana without being caught by the police

      "Getting Better" was originally thought to be a comedy film, with an ups and downs plot and a cheerful rhythm. After watching the whole film, I really don't understand why the director made such a film. Looking back on the plot, I really don't know what the director wants to express. Maybe it’s a sporadic time, and I can’t let the whole movie run through it; maybe it’s all in the bright sunshine at noon, the dark picture is completely blocked by my own face, I can’t see the expressions...

      Cities are a big mistake

      A person is born, grows up, which way do you want to live? To live right, which is right? Meet someone, fall in love, get married, and then one day in the middle of your life you find that the gaps can no longer be closed, and the whole person falls to the ground and crumbles on the beach. And run away there?
      The two men in the film, one has just graduated from high school and the other has lived most of their lives, have to face the weirdness and bizarreness of life and the city. All...

      A masterpiece worth seeing!

      Luke, a high school graduate with autistic tendencies but engaged in selling marijuana flowers, and Jeffrey, a middle-aged psychiatrist who is in a midlife crisis, have become a psychiatrist and a patient. The special relationship (only the cost of medical treatment was replaced by drugs), and later, because the girl Luke liked, Stephanie, happened to be Jeffrey's stepdaughter, which further made the relationship between the two become a good old friend who is also a teacher and a friend....

    Movie plot

    In the summer of 1994, the streets of New York at that time were full of hip-hop culture. At the same time, the "fragrance" of marijuana was still floating in the air, but two people were outsiders in this transformation. ": One of them is Luke Shapiro, who is facing graduation from high school. This guy who doesn't like socializing makes money by selling drugs. He has no friends and lacks self-confidence in front of girls, and his...

    Evaluation action

    As a masterpiece with black humor, "The Wackness" is the best choice for lovers of literary and artistic films. It expresses serious themes in a relaxed form, which has a certain degree of appeal to many movie lovers. Although the film is nicknamed a comedy on the surface, it is actually a desperate movie full of sex, drugs and rap music. In order to express this depraved despair, the director actually spent 95% of the film's time. If...

    Movie quotes

    • Luke Shapiro: I got mad love for you shorty. That's on the real.

    • Luke Shapiro: [on the phone] Peace out, forever!

    • Luke Shapiro: So that was all bullshit right? All that stuff about embracing your pain, making it a part of you? You can't do this, you can't just give up. Life is hard and it's full of pain and what-not, but we take it cause there's great stuff too. And we can do it cause we have friends- because we have each other.
