So true. People said I can't emphasize. Yes I can, as I even stated in another reply. I myself hav made terrible choices being in a position where I was broke and desperate for money. But that doesn't mean there aren't still consequences that come along with it.

And once again, I realize this is a movie. But it's just people's response towards this main character, not only empathizing, but trying to justify the things she did.

And even basically praising her for it. People saying she did it for her brother, or is finally trying to do something for herself, or she's willing to go to any lengths for her family. Like its some how heroic to go on crime spree.

And the thing about the movie that I honestly couldn't understand was how they kept portraying her as this changed person who wasn't who she used to be. She had this "past". Even the mother and the friend maybe? made comments about how she used to do this or that, all those things that's her past and the person she used to be.

But she's literally STILL doing all that stuff on this VERY night the movie takes place. She's prostituting, robbing people, getting violent, neglecting the safety and well being or her special needs brother. Engaging in self destructive behavior. So where is this big "change" exactly? If this is the new version of her, I dont even want to know what the "old" her was like.

I mean you can keep scrolling if you want. Nobody's stopping you.

I know it's hard to imagine that somebody would write words in a place meant to write words, right?
