Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

Maybe Mr. Belfort didn’t look that bad after ingesting all that stuff!  I think 
they tried to make Leonard DiCaprio
somewhat the worse for wear.

Also, some people can do prodigious amounts of drugs and it just doesn’t affect 
them in the way it does other folks, 
who just crater.

Think of Richard Burton and his drinking.  

I would fall down with a godawful migraine after three cocktails, let alone a 
fifth of Scotch!

Having said all this, WOLF is entertaining, but the film covers much of the 
same territory as
GOODFELLAS and CASINO.  The real subject - which to some extent IS celebrated - 
is excess.

It’s like GOODFELLAS GO TO WALL STREET.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Well, their careers certainly imploded before our very eyes but they never 
really showed the physical effects of the drugs. And their careers imploded 
because they were breaking the law and ripping people off. The reality is that 
many who use drugs to excess ultimately end up with severe physical scars from 
which they never recover. The Wolf of Wall Street portrayed drug taking as a 
recreation essential to do business and generally get through life. Not sure if 
the drug use of Jordan Belfort might have been exaggerated in the film but you 
have to wonder if someone could withstand that sort of excessive abuse.

That being said, I enjoyed the film - although it wasnt in the same league as 
Goodfellas (in my humble opinion!).

Yes, I think it does contribute. Take the The Wolf of Wall Street, for 
example, where most of the cast are seen continually using drugs. That film 
certainly makes light of drug use without really demonstrating the dire effects 
of addiction. All of the characters seem to be able to cope with taking any 
amount of substance and when they do go too far those scenes are depicted as 
comical.

I really wonder if we saw the same film.  These characters seem to be imploding 
before our very eyes!

But, yes, they use comedy to underscore their obvious excess.

[MOPO] LAMP Movie Stills

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi to you all
I just wanted to praise the wonderful work that Ed and Sue Poole have done on 
the Movie Still Archive.
http://www.moviestillid.com/

This is an exceptional resource, particularly for those who have quantities of 
stills that are difficult to identify.

Regards
John

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Does movies and TV making light of drug use and drug dealing contribute at all?

Yes, I think it does contribute. Take the The Wolf of Wall Street, for example, 
where most of the cast are seen continually using drugs. That film certainly 
makes light of drug use without really demonstrating the dire effects of 
addiction. All of the characters seem to be able to cope with taking any amount 
of substance and when they do go too far those scenes are depicted as comical.

I think it's more of an artistic world where smoking, boozing and getting high 
is seen as making you a more interesting, serious and legitimate actor.  In the 
NY theatre world I was constantly hassled because I didn't smoke or drink.  I'm 
very allergic to cigarettes and the crap I got for avoiding them was often 
painful.

We saw his Willy Loman on Broadway and he was wonderful.  To find out that he 
was only about 15 years older than the actor who played his son is 
mind-boggling.  I had no idea he was so young.

I’m not sure that film/tv makes “light” of hard drug use.  They certainly 
feature it as a plot element a lot.  They do make light of pot, I think.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[Doug Taylor]

I didn't used to feel this way, but now I do.  

 

I think drugs, violence, etc depicted in film/TV desensitizes the viewers
over time and has resulted in a level of tolerance that contributes to the
problems we're seeing today.  I never would have said that 20 years ago, but
I believe it now.

Does movies and TV making light of drug use and drug dealing contribute at
all? And peer pressure is a real factor. If you are around a group of people
who think it is cool to do hard drugs, are you not far more likely to be
drawn into it yourself?

Amen, Kirby. Couldn't have put it better. Also, Hoffman's brilliance and
his ability to project inner suffering and a tragic tone onto the screen in
all his portrayals had everything to do with who he was and what he was up
against personally, and everything to do with his very sad and unfortunate
end. He was among the most gifted and endearing actors I've ever watched,
and I will sorely miss the decades of work I was looking forward to.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[Kirby McDaniel]

Phiip Seymour Hoffman has left behind a body of work that I cannot help but 
admire.  That is separate from any admiration I might
have for him personally - or not.  I did not KNOW him.  His drug addiction has 
robbed us of another artist.   The profession of acting
is diminished by his death.  When he appeared in a film, I could go to that 
film, knowing that his performance would always be interesting.

Drug addiction is everybody’s problem.  Incarceration is not the answer.  
Education is the first line of defense, as with most problems.  And taking
the profit out of dealing in illicit drugs by the legalization of most drugs is 
worth a serious consideration.   This would not cure drug addiction, but
it would change the nature of the problem.  And what we have done for decades 
in the so-called “war on drugs” is an expensive ghastly flop.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[allen day]

A group of young people were playing ball in the back yard. Going after an 
errant throw, a young man hurdled a small fence, lost balance, and fell 
awkwardly. His neck met a small object on the ground, larynx crushed, he died. 
(True story that happened when I was a kid).

I am sure that everyone may recall a similar or worse publicly tragic 
circumstance. 

Everyone is just 'one decision away' from unintended consequences.

PSH was polite enough to keep his decisions private.

Sorry...

I can't admire anyone who takes drugs and especially in this manner - he was a 
great actor but he should not be made heroic drug taking is in my opinion the 
worst kind of self abuse.

Yes it's not heroic, but it is tragic in the Greek classical sense. Especially 
since it seems he was able to kick the habit for a long time. He struggled and 
lost.
