don't get me wrong, fear and loathing was a great movie, but the intent was different. Requiem should be shown in every high school health class, since it has such a close-to-home message (excpeting the "ass-to-ass" part, though it might be taken positively). Fear and Loathing should not be shown in any school, for any reason, except perhaps acting class, cos johnny depp and benicio del toro perform very well; but it's intent is much different from requiem. sure, they're both about drugs and addiction, but at the end of Fear and Loathing, you would be much more likely to cruise the drug market anyway, as opposed to Requiem, where you simply want to DIE. high school kids need to know that feeling. ALL OF THEM. i don't think most people realize that idiot high school kids are, well, mind-numbingly STUPID, and don't know their ass from a tea kettle. they need guidance, and darren oronofsky is certainly my professor of choice ^_^.
