Uh, ok. I guess they should have made a fun movie about drug addiction? It's one of the best movies of the past ten years.
No but they could have had something new to say about it. That movie reeked of its source...an overwrought novel written shortly after the 60s ended. A 'Utopian dreams are gone and now look where we are' sort of thing. The characters were thin and had no chance. It was like watching a 2 hour march to the scaffold.
