Lost Boys

Reminded me a lot of the deer hunter but then a real life version happening around 2010. Although this documentary is not for all crowd, it is reflecting perfectly the reality of how people can lose themselves in south east asia. Three friends who go there to party and have a good time lose themselves completely. Each friend has a different story line and the director guides us through them.

The Lost Boys doesn't offer easy answers or moral judgments. Instead, it presents a stark reality that many face but few understand from the inside. The documentary's power lies in its authenticity and the emotional weight of seeing people you come to care about succumb to the very forces they once seemed to control.

This film kept me on my toes and eyes peeled at the screen, reminding that the world is not a perfect place and things may take a turn from bad to worse in a short period of time. Great narration and creative shooting had me at hello as Cetinkaya and Neuvonen truly succeed in their aspiration to showcase repercussions of the netherworld.

The movie had clear three parts and the dramatic arc of Finnish metro. 30 minutes of the movie was drug dealer complaining about Finnish day care prisons with "I'm 14 years old and this is deep" - mentality 30 minutes of the movie was filming normal things with blurry camera and psychedelic music. 30 minutes was interviews of Asian hookers about how they sell love for money. 9 minutes was people smoking meth and their faces in close picture. I would recommend going to the metro and head to the east for more excitement and more coherent story line.

I cannot get that time back but maybe I can save the time for someone else.

Watched for about 1 hour, got too bored to continue and stopped. There's really not much to see, pretty sure the content stays the same until the end. Tbh, stars of this aren't worth to see talking idiotisms and acting like trash that they are.

If you despise drugs and the not so fancy side of the world and life, it's not for you.

It's a good Finnish documentary about the less fortunate, shot by the less fortunate, about junkies, their lifestyle and their friend trying to figure out what have happened to his friends who he left in bankok. It is a good window to life you might not have a clue about, but keep in mind, its not glorious in any way. Also there is slight artistic side i'd say, and i liked it. I have have watched the Reindeerspotting (the first part), but i dont remember much about it, gotta watch it again, still recommend it too.

Gives a lot to think about.
