Query: Hyperbole Galore with MTV Video style director

This is a midly entertaining film that explores addiction. It also shares the same downfall as "Magnolia". Requiem for a Dream is a much better film than Magnolia however in the sense that there is purpose and a statement in the film. Magnolia OTOH, was a beautifully directed terrible film with characters that nobody can hopefully identify with ("Magnolia" had no real meaning or plot to anybody but the self-serving director and a few others who managed to hallucinate some meaning out of "Magnolia". Traffic was an outstanding movie on addiction, while Requiem for a dream relied on too much hyperbole and SHOCK effect, as if it were an MTV video. I think it was worth watching once, perhaps, but it is does not have a lot to offer. Traffic OTOH was either 4 or 5 stars out of 5. This film does not deserve more than 2 to 3 stars.
