I have some questions. (Spoilers!)


1. Why do people smoke crack? Does it get them high or does it mellow them out? What is the attraction? I know the late Whitney Houston said that "Crack is whack!", but I don't even know what that was supposed to mean. I don't do drugs so I don't know.

2. Why did the cat die?

3. Drugs and hookers. Why was he so stupid?

4. What's the significance of the title?

5. What, if anything, was the point of this film? I know not every film has to have "a point", but I felt this film was trying to say something, though what I have no clue.

I know some of these questions were asked on other posts, but the answers were sometimes contradictory.

Thanks!
