Having sympathy is not the same as inviting nor enabling the behavior.  In
any case, if I parse this all correctly, and with no offence intended
whatsoever, you seem to be saying that RFAD so effectively reminded you of
the pain of drug abuse that you did not care to see the film again after one
viewing.  Is that correct?

See, why I think the film is genius is that in everything from craft to
message, it bespeaks having been made by a zealot.
