Something about There's No Going Back
reviewed "Requiem of Dreams" last summer vacation. I saw a movie introducing drugs. There was an Australian movie called Candy. I was completely attracted by the merry go round poster, but I found it to no avail. I found it again during the November holiday and several times during the winter vacation. In May, a bean friend sent it to me. It’s a pity The format is wrong. I only watched the first seven minutes and planned to buy the original on Amazon. I downloaded the whole movie on my birthday yesterday. It is the best gift.
In fact, what disappoints me the most in the whole film is that the heaven is too short, and it does not try to show how beautiful the two people are intertwined in the joy of drugs. On the contrary, their quarrels, screams, and yells have too much space, but they are still too short. It was just right, especially Candy complained about the sound of TV, the light in the room, and even the sound of the ball-point pen drawing the newspaper. It was too real. The movie's depiction of drug addiction is a highlight. After Candy became pregnant, the two decided to quit drugs. Relying on the thousands of yuan that Dan scammed, they finally went to the big supermarket to buy jam and biscuits like every normal couple. I moved into an apartment equipped with a fixed telephone and lay on a twinbed covered with white sheets. Unfortunately, everything about detoxification is too difficult. The airtight room is projected into pale sunlight, and the garbage on the bedside grows more and more. The individual was rubbing painfully because of the whole body, the bed sheet was dirty, and they sprinkled talcum powder to cover it, until one day Candy couldn't help calling her so-called help call, and she had a miscarriage during the torture with Dan. All of this It's so real.
After hell, they returned to the country, maybe it was the child's early death that made their relationship dignified. By drinking methadone every day, they were still alive sober, no quarrels, but just a frowning compromise, and they lived here. It’s an extravagant wish to follow the happiness of that time. Candy met new friends, they would take drugs and laugh together, but when Dan asked if Candy was sleeping with him, Candy seemed crazy when he was painting. Hate Dan, she began to write poems on the wall with all the brightly colored cosmetics. Those colors are like candy, which are the annotations of life, but now the walls are densely packed, pouring out the sorrow and joy that ordinary people can't reach. The addict’s world is complicated and confusing, but when the story is fragmented into a poem, I have to admit that candy is a great artist, and every nonsensical sentence, like a dose of love poison, pierced Dan’s heart impartially. He went to Casper again, but Candy was sent to the hospital due to a nervous breakdown. After being discharged from the hospital, Dan ended everything with sunshine and soda in the restaurant where he was working. Cause there's no going back.
As for the ending, I thought at first Somewhat abruptly, Dan rejected Candy on the grounds that their child died early and sat alone in the room, but we might as well imagine his real thoughts. If Dan has not given up drug addiction at this time, then Candy's father is in the hospital. This sentence must have made him think a lot. The old man only cares about her daughter, and makes his daughter look like a human or a ghost. It is Dan. After a long period of calm, Dan decided to leave candy and let her Continue your own life, a life that is no longer constrained by drugs, and be the blond angel, the perfect painter, forget everything, and don't be dragged down by yourself.
But if Dan has given up drug addiction, and he has become a normal person like Candy, then there is no reason to refuse now. Why should he choose to leave by himself? I boldly think that maybe in the beginning, their love is based on drugs. Above, or, there is no love at all. First of all, they know how to ML, but after taking drugs, they stay together all day, but when the two are raising drug money or taking drugs together, they have to find a little love. The trail is only in the heaven part. Do you still remember the neighbor in the country? When he and Candy took drugs together, the excitement and joy were the same as when he was with Candy and Dan. There is nothing irreplaceable, it's just that the two of them have one in each other's life. It’s a more important role, a role that is a mixture of youth, drugs, psychedelic, art, physicality, sunlight, stimulation, etc., or is it an important period in life, that period of drugs and candy. , The milkman in the film is the original author Luke Davies. I checked his story on the wiki. He is a well-known Australian TV screenwriter and director. He was addicted to drugs in the past eight years. Generally speaking, he I wrote this book based on him, also to commemorate the psychedelic youth that he has never returned and the poison he had been in. Dan said to Candy there's no going back. Why not say goodbye to his past? Perhaps the real hallucination is their relationship. What is really poisonous is their dangerous feelings
. The sun on the street shines in. The weather in Australia is really good. Dan drank a glass of pure water that was not like the green sodapop before and watched. Candy left, sitting alone in the Chinese restaurant, everything outside the window was isolated. This is the end of the movie, the end of the novel, and probably the real beginning of life.

Candy quotes

  • Dan: [reading of 'I Carry Your Heart With Me' by E. E. Cummings] Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart... I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

  • Dan: We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete.
