As the mom of an addict, Leo's performance is so heartbreakingly real. I remember seeing this movie when my son was just 2 years old and this scene always stuck with me. Years later it became a reality in our lives. I pray every day that my son gets clean and sober and heals from whatever it is that makes him need to self medicate.

[@CoeurD_Amaris22]

It's like you took a page right out of my life and wrote it here. This was my exact experience as well. The Basketball Diaries is one of my favorite movies and used to watch it when my sons were still in diapers. When they were in their teens, I had them watch it with me as a lesson on the effects of drugs. It didn't deter them and they began using heroin a few years later. For eight, long, heart wrenching years they've used....until they found fentanyl. Three years of that new nightmare and still ongoing. I've tried everything you can think of to help them but to no avail. I too pray every day that they get sober because there's only two other outcomes. How I hate drugs.

[@D3LAWAR302]

Tell him he is going to die. You’re not just saying that, he is going too. He has months few weeks tops, he has to go get clean now. Start his life now. Or he will never have one. Don’t let him take Xanax while getting off he will start to use both. Don’t give him a hard time if he uses any meds to stay clean. They have poison in everything, I lost almost every friend I used to be around. My soulmate and father of my children of 27yrs I never said to him I had an epiphany it’s coming until 2weeks before he died. He took me seriously and went to treatment twice back to back they gave him Xanax in there and that triggered another way to suppress the anxiety while feeling sick. He went back to work for his last day to finish up before coming back home and he was too sick, still had Xanax in his system went and got a smaller amount just to “get through” work from an unknown spot and he had to be brought back to life, comatose until the hospital let him go and called it. I couldn’t even say when they did little to save him they pushed to pull the cord from minute one because he was an organ donor. He had brain damage and swelling they could’ve had more medical intervention to reduce swelling but they didn’t. It wrecked me. Two days ago lost my best friend since childhood. 2014 lost my mother when she “tried” it(unlucky enough right when they put fentanyl in the mix). Lost so many ppl I can’t count… don’t give up on your son. When there is breath there is hope. My brother did it, he’s been clean for 5yrs and he’s a home owner now, new gf (family) he’s an example of what can happen. If he won’t stop love him till he’s gone, don’t treat him like an animal that never helped anyone

My friends made me sit down and watch Basketball Diaries when I first started using heroin. I was still telling myself I didn't have a problem. They sat there and watched it with me but I was already in deep with it...had been using and drinking anything I could to numb myself. Mum came home from being on holidays and though she knew something was going on, she didn't know what it was. I sat her down and told her I was a heroin addict and can't stop. Not too long after, I was so skinny I was stared at all the time and I was committing a slow suicide. I went to visit her at work one day and after seeing me, she walked off to go out the back. Her co-worker came out telling me mum was crying. She's been through every single type of abuse a person can go through since she was a little girl but I was the one to completely break her. A lot of times I'd come home black and blue (or worse) due to my partner's temper and mum would lay awake waiting for the call telling her I was dead. I'll NEVER forgive myself for hurting her so badly. Unintentionally but still guilt ridden. I'm 45 and still an addict but I function and look healthy so I can hide it from her. It's not fair that we've put you (parents of addicts) through that hell but we don't mean to hurt you and hate ourselves for it. Your strength and love is what keeps us going❤.

DiCaprio was actually nominated for best supporting actor at the Academy awards for his role in What's eating Gilbert Grapes. He was taken VERY seriously by the industry and had a great career ahead of him until he made Titanic (which turned him into a teenage idol), followed by The Beach (which was not well received, among other things because it didn't respect the book it was based on). Early in his career, he was cast along side great actors like DeNiro (This boy's life), Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton (Mervin's room), Gene Hackman, Russel Crowe and Sharon Stone (The Quick and the Dead) Johnny Depp (WEGG) and he had the lead in Total eclipse and Romeo+Juliet. He was considered the Dustin Hoffman of his generation. He was hardly overlooked by the industry or the critics. But he made a poor career choice. That's why he often expressed regrets about doing Titanic. It overshadowed all his previous work, and he wasn't seen as a 'real' actor anymore (only a 'star', a cute face). It took him almost 5 years to get his career and reputation back. Since DeNiro was impress with DeCaprio when they worked together, he recommended him to Scorsese. Gangs of NY got him back on track of being a serious actor and the rest is history.

No one gives Josh Brolin any credit in this movie but I think this was his best performance as well. I never once thought of him as an actor. He totally sold me on his performance as a rugged country boy.

The first scene at 0:18 is one of the tensest scenes in history of film. "No country for old men" movie comes with dozens of those scene which make me breathless throughout the movie. What an incredible and horrifying play and acting.

[@StonedMickey]

The best acted, most heart wrenching scene I've ever seen in a movie was Brad Pitt in SEVEN. When he realized the character played by Kevin Spacey, had decapitated his wife's head and it was in the box that had just been delivered. As Brad's character was deciding to shoot the bastard or not, Brad's expressions were so heart breaking, so real, it sticks with me.

[@marioncapriotti1514]

But the movie as a whole was just AWFUL. The identities and personal lives of the victims were completely ignored -- nobody ever even mentioned the name, occupation, next-of-kin or life circumstances of the first victim. The implication was, nobody should care because he was just some fat guy. The whole rest of the movie was just as bad, no investigations about the identities of ANY of the victims were ever done, not until it was Gwyneth Fucking Paltrow's perfect little blonde head in a box. Why didn't the life, personality, career, friends, personal and family history of the fat guy in the first scene matter? And if he didn't matter, why should Gwyneth?

We would be here regardless. The War had already turned against the Germans. The Russian were getting victories against the retreating Germans.
