Cameron Brown
Our behavior is as absurd and incomprehensible with respect to the first drink as that of an individual with a passion, say, for jay-walking. He gets a thrill out of skipping in front of fast-moving vehicles. He enjoys himself for a few years in spite of friendly warnings. Up to this point you would label him as a foolish chap having queer ideas of fun. Luck then deserts him and he is slightly injured several times in succession. You would expect him, if he were normal, to cut it out. Presently he is hit again and this time has a fractured skull. Within a week after leaving the hospital a fast-moving trolley car breaks his arm. He tells you he has decided to stop jay-walking for good, but in a few weeks he breaks both legs.
On through the years this conduct continues, accompanied by his continual promises to be careful or to keep off the streets altogether. Finally, he can no longer work, his wife gets a divorce and he is held up to ridicule. He tries every known means to get the jaywalking idea out of his head. He shuts himself up in an asylum, hoping to mend his ways. But the day he comes out he races in front of a fire engine, which breaks his back. Such a man would be crazy, wouldn't he?
You may think our illustration is too ridiculous. But is it? We, who have been through the wringer, have to admit if we substituted alcoholism for jay-walking, the illustration would fit exactly. However intelligent we may have been in other respects, where alcohol has been involved, we have been strangely insane. It's strong language but isn't it true?
Some of you are thinking: "Yes, what you tell is true, but it doesn't fully apply. We admit we have some of these symptoms, but we have not gone to the extremes you fellows did, nor are we likely to, for we understand ourselves so well after what you have told us that such things cannot happen again. We have not lost everything in life through drinking and we certainly do not intend to. Thanks for the information."
That may be true of certain nonalcoholic people who, though drinking foolishly and heavily at the present time, are able to stop or moderate, because their brains and bodies have not been damaged as ours were. But the actual or potential alcoholic, with hardly any exception, will be absolutely unable to stop drinking on the basis of self-knowledge. This is a point we wish to emphasize and re-emphasize, to smash home upon our alcoholic readers as it has been revealed to us out of bitter experience

I just watched this movie.
It was beyond fantastic. Fraser deserves every accolade that comes his way.
Most things out of Hollywood lately are hot garbage, but this is an exception.
Fraser steals the show, but this movie, in its entirety, is magnificent; every actor had a superb performance, the writing was excellent, the direction was phenomenal, the props/makeup/effects/costumes/art/sound/ etc were impeccable.
This movie was a breath of fresh air in modern cinema.

I get you. I never became obese thank god. Just overweight. But as a teen I WAS an emotional eater.
And I am never going to deny that at all. I was fat as a kid, in my teens, and early twenties. Because I was comfort eating.
I was depressed and I ate really bad crap to distract me from my emotions.
And of course the horrible irony is that these crap food MAKES people depressed, and then you eat more to escape the depression, and the food makes you more depressed, and it's just a spiral going down.
It's horrible how this addiction and these kinds of food has just become so accepted in our modern society.
Sure you can eat a whole bag of chips a day! That's just not normal! ..... no... No it's not. That's pure starch and seed oil right in your gullet with no nutritional value at all. It's poison.

This man went through so much and just when we thought he was gone, he came back with an Oscar

Hearing him speak now though he feels broken. He really has had a rough go lately
Trina Q
Preach, Brendan really deserved his Oscar and I'm glad that he's back in the spotlight.
Donald Jr Trumpy
Bro you are gone too. when are you coming back ? Vought says nothing about you
Jimmy murphy
Yep and it's so beautiful. His speech got me choked up and almost made me cry. I am just so happy he's back.
Alfred Hitchcock
Fraser really pulled out the Godfather Part III dialogue which was "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in"
John Robichaud
"I need to know that I have done one thing right with my life!" That moment in the trailer is what sold me on seeing it and throughout the whole movie Brendan made me cry with the raw emotion he brought to the role.
Rustymcnut
That perhaps is the most poignant part.
About life and what we feel it’s worth, especially our own.
And what this character goes through to validate his own life in his dying days.

Im SO glad I never watched the trailer as that piece of text would have ruined the ending for me because basically most (if not all) movie trailers these days give away all info from the get-go. I have quit watching trailers, they ruin all movies for me these days.

that scene won him the Oscar I think. Shame the asian lady got robbed of supporting oscar by Jamie Lee curtis who won it despite barely even having any screentime in EEAAO...
