Try
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund

I just got the DVD and watched it for the first time. How terrible! I feel really bad now. What did you guys think?

If Billy made something like that now everyone would survive and she'd give birth to Jesus.

I remember the first time I watched it and thought it was a very strong message and made me think how bad life could be and how grateful I am.
I think its a great video ... though its not a happy one.

My love for you just can't explain

Requiem was a well-done movie.
But it feels very wanna-be to me.
Most people that I know who love it and hype it are addicted to weed or other drugs so it doesn't make any sense.
Though, some parts of the movie feel forced anyway.

I didn't like it. The characters were all annoying, so it was impossible to feel any sympathy or empathy for them, so it lost all impact to me.

Yeah, I thought they were all really annoying especially that voice over. But I was so shocked because it had a different ending than the Try, Try, Try video that I couldn't help but feel bad. Plus watching them shoot up and her bleed through her pants didn't make me feel good. (But I loved the hardcore porn in that guy's magazine! Pause and zoom!)

I would say Requiem was a "well-done" movie in the sense that it was really manipulative and got its point across well...but I did not feel glad at all that I saw it when it was done—in fact, I regret ever seeing it :dead

But yeah, both Requiem and the Try movie are similar in that they paint a picture of the bottom-of-the-barrel cases of drug use, albeit still with a bit of "good-looking young people subculture" glamor...

I still say a better movie is Holiday Heart, the heartwarming story of a young girl who's taken in by a kind, protective drag queen and a well-meaning drug dealer after her mother abandons her and succumbs to drug addiction :D

I can't say I was a fan of the video or the Try short film. In some respect, it seemed like Jonas Akerlund just wanted to make this film and the fit bits of Billy in and alternate scenes into a music video for "Try, Try, Try". The video didn't fit the song at all. I thought it was a bit over the top, especially with the bloody suburbia scene.

I finally watched the whole thing the other day.. :dead It has like 0 to do with Try Try Try or SP imo.. And the end is like woah.. I didn't think it could get any more depressing than the music video. Try Try Try is my least favorite SP song, just because I hate the music video; every time it comes up on Machina, I skip it.
