just watched the joaquin phoenix flick and i recommend it. really good stuff. when i left the theater i heard ppl discussing it and it sounds like everyone has a different opinion on it....
is it all an act?
or has jp (as he likes to call himself) spiraled down into this person who is absolutely obsessed with getting p diddy to produce his hip hop album?..all the while drinking and doing a shit load of cocaine all day and treating everyone around him like shit. he doesnt make sense a lot of the time and can be really funny with the way he rationalizes things and some of the absurd shit he says
after watching it i think its an elaborate and brilliant act on his part. casey afflec who co-wrote and directed deserves a lot of credit for this too. the story that the film ends up piecing together is a very universal and profound one about the dark side of what people can become (without themselves realizing it). i think phoenix does an oscar worthy job for his performance and especially considering how this character transcends the traditional acting role.
on the other hand...if this is fully real....then that guy is FUCKED UP. if its real than its a very funny but sad film. and shame on affleck for filming it and making this movie out of it.
filled with brief appearances (all of which are pretty funny) from ppl like:
p diddy
ben stiller
and edward james olmos, who has an awesome 2 minutes in the film. phoenix refers to him as e-jo though
oh and there are areolas in the film, breh
