( vague spoiler . ) i really wish that this genre of tragic true story could be wipe from the face of this earth nothing make me more sick than to see what could essentially be a moving ( though i be rarely move and especially where the medium and it monkey slave be concern ) story rip to piece and turn into a vomit induce cheesefest of a film . obviously and because it a true story and everyone nervous to criticise the storyline and to suggest that just perhaps and it really wasn not that tragic . i wasn not aware of the story before i saw the film and so i do not know how true to life it all be and but let just say i felt no sympathy for the angelic and martyr like character of veronica and her irritating personality trait . perhaps cate blanchett act just do not do her justice . right from the beginning and a i watch her tiptoe through a sea of filth and syrinx ( oh and and filthy syrinx ) and gasp at the junkie child all around her and i know this film would be hideously over the top and unrealistic and desperate to yank that salt water right out of the audience tear duct . the fact that she herself be a self confess lover of speed and felt no shame at her blatant disregard of the law ( law which be there to wait for it stop people from die ) where trivial matter like speed be concern hardly bump up my sympathy meter . sorry to say this and but i find the evil drug dealer far more likable . in short and i hat it . but a always and everyone else will love it .
