I made the mistake of cooking up a hamburger to eat while I watched this movie - very bad idea. See it on an empty stomach. When I rented this I was not even aware that the subject of the film was dying (I thought it said the life and *times* of...). I rented it primarily for the shock value. I had heard that it has a scene which "beats the opening shot in The Andalusian Dog". After viewing the movie, I'm not quite sure which scene that is a reference to, because pretty much every scene in the film beats it, on the level of shock and disgust. Anyway, I was very surprised to see that this is actually a very sad and profound movie. Also very saddening was the whole thing about the make-a-wish foundation girl.
