Candy

Its very rare that you come across movies which leave you numb. Candy had that affect on me. Dan and Candy are by far the most realistic drug addicts portrayed in a movie. Their bond is so magical and yet so scary at times. Love leads them to destruction, how insane in an overwhelming way is that? It begins almost as a fairy tale and ends with a stark sting of reality. The transition from heaven to earth and hell defines the pendulum of all relationships I guess. I've never done drugs myself nor do I feel the urge. But then there are moments when life screws you and then all you want to do is screw life back. The idea of pain and agony somehow soothes you and you imagine doing crazy things. Striking as that idea maybe at this point as well, I don't suppose I ever perceived self-inflicted pain as I do now. It used to amaze me but not anymore.
