Beautiful Boy

This movie means everything to me, it truly left a lasting mark on my soul. It shows how much an addiction can change someone and their loved one’s life. Love flickers in the spaces between words, where a father reaches and a son drifts away. It is a story not of answers, but of holding on while everything slips away. The fact that he loved his son so much that he took the same drugs he were addicted to just to understand what he was going through. Beautiful boy leaves the lingering thought that sometimes loving someone means staying, even when you can’t fix them, even when all you can do is hope they find their way back. “Do you know how much I love you? If you could take all the words in our language, it still wouldn’t describe how much I love you. And if you could gather all thousand words together, it still wouldn’t describe what I feel for you. What I feel for you is everything, I love you more than everything.”
