PAUL: The drug dealer character made me think of what
Holden might of been like after Catcher. After all the
drug dealer, sorry forgot his name, was kicked
out of military school, had a breakdown, and ended up
in a psychiatric hospital and is focused on beauty.
Yes, wow is right, best movie this or Magnolia, thats
a tough choice.
I agree. Russell Bank's(author of "Affliction") "Rule
of the Bone" has been compared to a modern day
"Catcher in the Rye" and it's almost like "American
Beauty" from the P.O.V. of the drug dealer kid w/o
kevin spacy, annette benning, or the other
suburbanites. It's also a lot more moodier and violent
at times:) But there are a lot of similar issues such
as homophobia, pot, and others. Geographically, the
story moves around a lot more than "American Beauty" too:)
