    On one hand I agree, but in my case, I was a user when I saw it and I got into opiates after seeing the horrible withdrawal scenes and went through the hell it shows him going through. If kids have the right mentality to start with then yes the movie will most likely keep them from ever using opiates.? It’s a hard road. Been clean 7 years and proud to say it.

  • lrobbo193 says:

    Can anyone help explain the basketball diaries quote. i understand the movie just struggle with the meaning of “You’re growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it’s good that there? is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies… so we can dance. “

    I’ve heard? methadone is even harder.

  • mjd81784 says:

    no i did not realize that, that actually seems shocking to me,
    i can only speak for myself on this matter, this movie to me far from glamorized drug use, it made me sick to my stomach just like requiem for a dream, but just because it? had that type of effect on me doesnt mean it does for everyone

  • mjd81784 says:

    yeah man, sorry to hear that, I can really only speak for myself on this topic, i myself was prescribed to ritalin as a kid and as a teen I experienced with cocaine, but after seeing the destruction that drugs like heroin do to you it makes me not want to experiement with anything ever again, and I think that this movie really painted a? good picture of how easy it is to take the road to drugs and how your life falls to shit before you know it

  • Joe Eckstein says:

    Fuck all the anti-drug campaigns they show in high school to teens. Just show em Requiem for a Dream and Basketball? Diaries. Hah

  • bob2693 says:

    How do you find the money at 15 for? that shit?

  • HotRocksAndHardRock says:

    dude wtf relax on that? shit man. 15 is no age to be at that kind of shit.

  • GuruOfTheInternet says:

    I bet you didn’t realize that this film,? along with several others is credited for an increase in heroine use after their releases. Studies show that drug use in cinema actually encourages and provokes people to experiment with drugs.
