robert downy jr. an amazing actor thats been thru so much...

today i watched a movie ive never seen before called less than zero ... when i started this movie i couldnt believe all the well know actors in it.. im like how the hell havent i seen this being such a 80's fan and all...

well needless to say.. this movie completly moved me, shocked me , and made me cry my eyes out like a little girl! and probably is one of the only movies ive ever watched i could relate to on a first hand basis...

i mean i dont know

watching robert downy jr. in that movie was like watching a play by play of my brother and trying to help him battle his addiction for the past 6 yrs...

i felt like i actually knew what it was like to go thru the motions of someone who has a bad addiction first hand.. it kinda made me open up my eyes and to not be so judgemental and blind to a situation over someone who clearly has and problem and needs help.. it was kinda my opifphany that ive been waiting for..

i know this sounds stupid but i guess ive battled with trying to relate to an addict and be on the same page as them especially because ive never been able to get my brother to open up to me..

i feel like ive learned something from watching this film as stupid as it sounds..

but whats crazy is i also found out RDJ also had an addiction problem.. (didnt know this either)

i dont know i guess i love when i find something in life that i can learn from or that can move me in a way that i wasnt expecting ...

have you ever had something like a movie or a picture or a poem or just words in general give you a complete and utterly different perspective at looking at a specific situation?

if so tell me some of the things, or people that have inspired you and why ?
