Thank you for Smoking

My bro had it in his laptop. So just watched it. It was... well.. different to say the least. What hit me first was that it was about exactly what the title said. smoking. And yes, much more than that too. I know someone who's trying to quit. God knows how well he's doing. Is he even keeping at it. Strong will power is not exactly his forte. But if he sets his mind to it, he might just get there. For years he was in denial and kept saying that it was not a habit and that he could quit anytime he wanted to. So at least he has moved a step further. Oh so the movie.. rite.. It had layers to it. Ethics, morals, rights and wrong, and most of all integrity.

I wouldn't exactly remember this film when asked about my favourites. But I'm glad I watched it nonetheless. The movie makes you hate the protagonist's guts and at the same time you want him to emerge as the winner. Thank you for smoking. Crisp. Neat. Intriguing.

I have never smoked. Never think I will. Of course I couldn't have avoided passive smoking. But that has been minimal. And personally I find a cigarette in anyone's hand quite a turnoff. So just put that away and maybe then we could talk. ;)

  1. A similar movie is "I Heart Huckabees" - see if you can get your hands on it. And yeah, indiscriminate smokers do have a repulsive aura.
