i remember a time when the only thing that do exist where club and drug pub and party . this movie come out a couple of year after i start go clubbing . if i have never discover the ravier side of thing this movie may not have make sense to me . that night when i watch it for the 1st time and with some mate and i be completely blow away . i have never watch a movie that hit so close to the reality of where i be in my life at that time . almost everything i could relate to in some way . there be never 1 character i could fully relate to but more a combination of all of them in one way or another . my mate where no different and i remember u all say that they where u or we where them . we have all be out that weekend together do exactly what the crew do in ht . we where come down while we watch and when the movie come down i remember actually come down a bit far . it be actually quite depress in our room during those low point . thats what so good about human traffic . it really tap the whole situation . it a unique movie in the way it not plot driven and but then it not completely character drive although the character be important . it always seem to be base on the situation . situation a a group and a individual . each character be lose in life and for their own reason . yet each of them respond to the lostness in the same way . work any job to make money to pay for the weekend and escape it all . for them it their holiday . but the reality be you cant truly escape . another situation they all have to face . me and my mate where no different from these guy . we all have our own stuff go on . human traffic help explain to u what we do not understand about our self . it do it in a way that doesn not talk down to you . it make u feel like we weren not the only one out there like u and that the lesson learn where one many others and from all over the world and have go thru . it wasn not until my lifestyle change from party popper to career driven that i would fully understand this movie . these day i watch ht and every now and then ( a i just have ) and and reminisce the old day . no other movie can do this . i be peter popper and i be jip travolta and i go to never never land with my choose family . i would have $ 200 in my back burner and i wax the lot . no worry .
