Some time into the movie and I was thinking what bullshit is going on. But as the movie started taking the grip, over the heart rather than the brain, I was driven deep into an entirely different world. This movie drags you down to its depths and grabs your heart, squeezes it hard until you feel some juice flowing. It truly leaves you shaken...and that's what you expect from a Darren Aronofsky movie.
We have all been exposed to media talking about the side-effects of drugs. Well, this movie literally makes you feel the effects without actual consumption of any. It will make you feel ill to the core and nauseating at times but it's one of those things you just have to go through. The ending especially left me taken aback and shocked, terrified, horrified and I don't mean the fright-thrills that you get from watching a good horror movie. This is completely different. This movie reaches directly to your soul and flips you inside out. Don't go applying your IQ to analyze any scenes, it's not that type of a movie. Just keep your mind completely open to absorb what's coming.
I strongly advice you to experience this unique dramatic ride, but only if you don't have a weak heart. Watch it alone, and not in any other way. Watch it patiently without skipping anything and let it drive you towards insanity. I swear, after watching it, I felt something I had never experienced in my life till now. I felt like crying at the top of my lungs, and laughing out loud simultaneously. This movie will drive you crazy for sometime after you watch it. That's why I said, watch it alone and when you have a lot of time. Give it time to absorb. Watching the movie has its own side-effects. The climax gets you high and sick. It's a must-watch, actually a must-feel movie, but watch it at your own risk. Discover the new phase of psyche.
