It's like the eye on the poster, it's uncomfortable at first, and then addicting.
Harry is addicted to drugs and breaks his left hand
Dillon was addicted to drugs and went to jail to ruin half of his life
Mary became addicted to drugs and became a sex slave

They all fell victim to addiction, and the different dreams they had were shattered by addiction, Harry wanted to be with Mary forever, Dillon missed his mother and even felt maternal love from his girlfriend, Mary wanted to open a clothing store , Designing her own clothes, Sarah wants to lose weight so she can be on TV.
It is said that this is an anti-drug propaganda film. I think it has a bit of the meaning of "Trainspotting". The life of a drug addiction is different. In "Requiem", people did not resist in the face of drug addiction. In "Trainspotting" Even if they said they were shit, they tried.
The biggest feature of the film is the godlike editing and soundtrack. The montage splicing challenges the viewer's visual bottom line again and again. The tense but not fancy soundtrack renders a weird and eccentric atmosphere, proclaiming that this group of drug addicts 's fate.
In the three chapters of the movie "summer", "autumn", and "winter", there is no spring that represents hope, which can be described as despair specially arranged by the director, not only for the characters in the film, but also for the viewers.
