Trainspotting does that to me.
Never shot heroin but the whole nihilistic lifestyle brings me back to when I was living something like that. Just fucking up.and not giving a fuck
this, except Requiem for a Dream. I got lucky never having health or law issues but it was exactly what was going on around me and to all the people I knew. I cant watch that shit AT ALL.
Especially towards the end... the helplessness, the loneliness, the complete hopelesslness of watching everything you care about crumble, only to be left broken and alone.... and knowing its all your fault but being unable to stop...... it absolutely haunts me to hear the main theme to that movie.
