(Smoked up raw meat)

Teacher Cha’s acting skills are really great, I have to say that the whole movie is really messy, unfocused and lengthy, and bgm is also inexplicable, but Teacher Cha’s part really makes people feel distressed, literally distressed, and expresses Nic’s despair and struggle. It's very real, and the state of drug abuse is also very good. Tea teacher has a promising future.

————————— Second brush dividing line———————— • The first time I saw the soundtrack, I felt that the soundtrack was so stiff to be unreasonable. On the second brush, I felt that the soundtrack had a playful effect (such as David When trying to virus and the correspondence between lyrics and plot)

•David keeps saying that he wants to understand Nic, but all he wants to know is the Nic (the so-called beautiful boy) he imagined

•David did so much research to understand drugs, but never tried to understand his son

•Nic has sent out a distress signal to David so many times, but David is so slow that he ignores them every time, and then blames everything on Nic, just like he is a fully responsible parent. David does have a strong desire to control, as Nic said. The big reason why he has been "working hard" is also because he failed to control the situation (control his son).

•Nic is too sensitive and fragile. He has always wanted the love and care of his father (family) ("I want them to be proud of me."), and always wanted a home and a safe place, David's new family For Nic, it is not comfort but stimulation because the lives of his younger siblings are all he has never obtained and will never get again, and he is also unable to blend in and cannot find a sense of belonging anywhere (Dad never really tried to understand He, the room is filled with debris, "be invited"), so he can only hide himself and fill himself with what he has always wanted but cannot get (because he has no ability to change reality, so he simply escapes from reality)

• The movie actually says that it is only about drug addiction. I think it’s more of Nic’s mental illness (depression or even bipolar disorder). Family is the cause and drug use is the result (tea teacher said why not The point, but I think why is the real point)

• After the second brush, I understood a lot. I don’t know what happened to Nic in the real world, but I hope he really filled the big black hole in his heart (though I think it’s impossible...)

  • Nic Sheff: I'm sorry, dad, I just need some fucking money.

  • [at a meeting for relatives of addicts]

    Rose: I... I had a rough week. Some of you know, some of you don't: I, um... I lost my Frances this week. She died of an overdose on Sunday. So... I guess I'm in mourning. But I - I - I realized something else: I've actually been in mourning for years. 'Cause even when she was alive, she... she wasn't there. When you mourn the living, that's a hard way to live. And so, in... in a way, it, it's... it's better, I guess. She was a dear, dear young woman. I always felt... I needed to... to stay strong, that there'd be some future event, and I'd... I'd need all my strength for it. But there are no events after this one. I hope she's not in pain now. Bye, Frances.
