Yesterday, a friend watched Raw Meat first. He said that he felt a little disappointed. He relapsed into drug addiction, and the editing was too chaotic. His rating was only 6.5. I was a little flustered, would my expectations be too high? Fortunately, I read it myself today, and I think it's okay. The film is relatively bland at the beginning. Although it cuts into the theme quickly, nic is soon found to be drugged and sent to a drug rehab center, but it seems too sudden, many things are not explained clearly, and there is a lack of a little foreshadowing. It gives me the feeling that a remarried father neglects his eldest son, and he suddenly wakes up from nowhere, only to find out that the eldest son is taking drugs, and then he directly trusts the drug rehab center full of trains and sends his son in. However, this may also be deliberately designed, just to reflect that the father is one of the reasons for nic drug addiction.
Immediately after the first relapse, the father quickly found the nic. Here nic walks tremblingly in the rain wearing only a thin t-shirt, which is really distressing. At this time, my father probably hadn't fully devoted himself to this matter. He might have controlled everything in a self-righteous manner, and sent him directly to a drug rehab center, which was the second time he gave up gambling. After all, he also has a family of his own and has two children to take care of, so here I feel that family reorganization is also one of the reasons for nic's drug use.
Next is nic finally getting out of rehab and going to college. In fact, I have a little doubt here. It has been delayed for so long, and the university's offer is still valid. Then got a girlfriend in college. This girlfriend really has no foundation (but it is not good to have too many emotional scenes), and the appearance is directly made up on the grass. The girl should be attracted by nic's world-weary poems. The relationship warmed up very quickly, and after a few frames, nic went to his girlfriend's house for dinner, and the drug addiction was committed again, and he relapsed for the second time. This is a bit of a blur for me. At first, I thought that the small bottle in the toilet of my girlfriend's house should only contain painkillers with drug ingredients. It was nic who instigated his girlfriend to take drugs. But now I feel that since my girlfriend is attracted by world-weary poetry, maybe she is also a drug addict, that's why two people can get together so quickly.
Nic went home during the holiday to steal his brother's money to buy drugs. There is a scene where he is playing against his father. Nic is in the middle of it, and he has to lie to his father. It's a bit exciting. This seems to imply another reason for drug use, which is actually similar to the previous one, that is, when Nic went to college, his father seldom cared about him. Maybe he made a few phone calls, but he didn't notice anything strange about Nic. The father himself was a little impatient and did not trust his son. The conflict intensified again, and the two broke up unhappily.
From here on, I felt that the movie started to look good. About 40 minutes later, my father finally took the time to understand his son and how difficult it was to quit gambling. Only then did he find that his picture book was full of very Dark content, fonts are getting more and more distorted, probably all have artistic inspiration when they are on the top. Dad meets his son in a restaurant. The performance of this clip also appeared in the trailer. It is really one of the few familiar scenes in the film. The interaction between the two people is just right. The conversation ended in another unhappy breakup.
The father and son met again when Nic was sent to the hospital after a drug overdose, refused treatment, and called his father at the bar. When the camera cuts to the bar, nic's head has been buried in his arms. When his father came, he raised his head and lost a lot of weight. His cheeks were sunken inward, and his lips were shriveled. As soon as this image came out, My whole heart is broken.
The third time into a drug rehab center. After coming out, I relapsed again. Nic met with his ex-girlfriend, took his girlfriend for injections, broke into his old home together, and ran away in a hurry. nic is really getting worse and worse, step by step towards the abyss. His girlfriend overdose was in a coma and was sent to the hospital, and finally woke up nic.
The fourth time into rehab, and the one that seemed the closest to success. The parting after being reunited with the family, the emptiness after the excitement hits quickly, and the nic goes down again. I felt him struggling, he called the mentor, but the mentor would just talk bullshit and say something innocuous, about "make the right choice". He called his father. When my father said that it can't happen, I was completely shocked. I have been sent to the drug rehab center four times, and they were all successful. Why can't I pull him again from the edge of the cliff? David does have his own family to take care of, but nic is also his child. If nic doesn't rescue him in the end, who can david go to cry? Even his ex-wife called and begged him for help. It turned so hard all of a sudden, and it was too ruthless.
In the end, although nic was rescued, father and son were cuddling each other in the golden picture, but I was down, down, fortunately, the five-minute monologue at the end of the film, Neither peace or happiness, let it enfold you, even if it was stupid optimism, let it surround me too.
ps: Summarize what I think causes nic drug use
1. The indifference of the father. Because I have two children with my second wife, I have no time to worry about nic, and my cognition of nic seems to be stuck in my childhood, "I don't like surfing for a long time."
2. The parents of the original family are divorced. From the long-distance phone call between the father and his ex-wife in the first scene, it can be seen that the two can quarrel as soon as they have a conversation and shirk their responsibility for nic's drug use. Everyone is missing, what are they arguing about? ?
3. Life and academic stress. It can be seen from nic's speech that he entered the drug rehab center for the fourth time, he really wants to make his parents proud of him, and wants to be a role model for his younger brothers and sisters, including his imagination of graduating from college, he wants to do something too much , but he hates real life, he is entangled in self-pulling, and taking drugs can let him escape all this temporarily.
4. My father was also a drug addict when he was young. David didn't set a good example for nic, and he also let nic know about such a not-so-splendid young deed. From this perspective, it is really big that David has to bear the blame.
