From the first scene of the film we see Sara, one of the main characters, and learn that her life revolves around watching television and eating chocolates. While this is not a serious addiction, it still shows the temporary relief from her outside life. Sara’s life has a new focus once she gets a phone call from her favorite television program telling her that she has been chosen to be on the show. Suddenly Sara’s only goal in life is to fit into her favorite red dress so she can look great f

One would think that Sara’s son would learn the dangers of drug abuse and addiction from seeing what she is going through, but Harry’s life has been taken over by drugs as well. From the beginning of the film we learn that Harry’s life is focused around heroin. He spends his days stealing and scheming for drug money, even taking his mother's television and making her buy it back from the pawnshop. While struggling to get money for drugs, Harry and his friend decide to start dealing drugs. They see this plan as something that will make their lives perfect and problem free. Enthusiastically, Harry tells his girlfriend about his plan, “We got this idea, if we get a piece of this stuff we can cut it up and double our money no problem. We’ll be on easy street.” Harry starts out doing well dealing drugs and makes a large amount of money, but soon his plan to make him happy ends up ruining his life. He tries the heroin “to see how good it is to know how much to sell it for”, and quickly he becomes addicted to it. We see how his life begins to revolve around drugs completely. Harry’s only focus is getting more drugs and what at once seemed to make him happy has actually lead to more problems. We realize how addicted Harry is when he drives from New York to Florida to get the “good” drugs. At this point in the film we see how intensely heroin has taken over Harry’s life, and the slow downfall that resulted from heroin. Unfortunately Harry realizes too late that no amount of money or drugs will make their problems go away and what he has done with his life has only made it worse. In my opinion, the point in the film when we learn how addicted Harry is, is when we see how horrible his arm has gotten as a result of shooting up heroin. Harry had become so addicted to heroin that he ended up having to get his arm amputated. His dream to be successful and deal drugs
