Among those who have suffered the misery that is addiction, withdrawal and life afterward, there is always a tendency to slip into melancholy. Most would not understand why the urge to slip back into a ‘junkie lifestyle’ would be appealing but it is because they have never known the thrill of kissing death on the lips and falling into a euphoria that only your drug of choice can offer.

Every junkie says to themselves that ‘this will be the last shot’ and it is always true. It will be the last shot before they clean up… or it will be the shot that kills them.

I do not know what drove Mr. Hoffman back to drugs, nor will I speculate. I will simply appreciate the gift that he shared with the world for as long as he could continue to do so and pray that his troubled heart, soul, mind and body rest in everlasting peace.

But I do think that Sate and Main was in some ways his best, or at least most natural, movie.
