When you go to the dentist and get x-rays done of your teeth
the dentist first places on your chest a leaden vest
pliable yet more heavy than it should be
once I had a dream that I had one of those vests on
but it began to get heavier and heavier
until it was unbearable
then it was removed and yet
I could still feel the weight
not oppressive but persistant
real and completely imagined
it reminded me of watching this film
I enjoyed the movie a lot, enjoyed perhaps is the wrong word... It was a lot like Requiem for a Dream, but with a sense of veiled hope that from another perspective is but hopeless desperation. Unlike Requiem for a Dream, it had no surrealism in it. It is a solid film that feels all-too-real and still has an interesting understanding of subtle symbolism. And I have to admit I really enjoyed the soundtrack although I can't exactly say why.
