::talking stomach::
I have always wondered why is it that people take drugs; what is the kind of satisfaction they derive from taking it. I really wanted to know what is the driving force for them to so desire it after trying it only once. How is it like? What is the sort of high they experience? What is the so-called feeling as though they have no worries at all? But after watching
Protégé today, I believe I will never want to know how it is like. There's this scene in the movie where this junkie died from an overdose; she was having spasms all over when she was dying, it looked as though she was possessed or something. The cop came to look for her and saw her body covered with rats. They were eating her corpse and hell it was gross. Terrifying.. for a moment I thought I was watching a horror film. Nightmares!!! Daniel Wu plays Nick, the undercover cop who has the same question. Nick said he finally realized why people take drugs after the female junkie [who was his neighbour] and Andy Lau's character [his 'mentor' and the guy the cops are after] died. He says it's because of emptiness that people take drugs. But which is scarier? Emptiness or drugs? Well it is a good movie.
