i just saw this movie tonight(5th nov. 2005)for the first time. i wanted to watch it cause i saw the basketball diaries(leonardo di caprio) and loved that but this was far more heavy going. i think it had a good depiction of drugs to an extent. i empathize mostly with nick stahls character and probably because if i someone i was crazy about was on that stuff i would want to help them get off it. a promising student and athlete who spends all his time training and studying well it understandable that he would want to try teenage life(the crazy side of it) and in his efforts as what begins is helping his friend he ends up addicted because he wanted to see what it is all about and because of his horrendous family situation which results in his most tragic death. a truly sad film but one flaw i noticed is that you do not get a good enough insight into the damage it does to families but apart from that and excellent performances on a truly heartbreaking movie.
