Beautiful Boy

BE READY TO CRY!!!

I knew I was going to be emotional through the movie but I never though how much I would be affected by it! Everything from acting to the story line was so on point!! This movie had the right actors, just enough drama, and VERY relatable storyline.

**Spoiler alert** The story is about a young boy who struggles from drug addiction and how his father helps him get through it. The son is extremely and talented but somehow he gets involved in drugs, and one addiction leads to another to a point where he has no control over it. His father struggles to understand how his “beautiful boy” went from an artist to a drug addict under his supervision. However, he swallows his pride and tries everything in his power to get his son out of it.

Even though I personally haven’t suffered from this issue, I have friends and family who have struggled through similar situations. This movie really made me think about how I look at people and how much family can help you get through toughest of times. It’s very easy to blame people for their addictions, and brush it off like it’s not you responsibility to help them. But after watching this movie, I do agree that maybe it is a choice to get involved with drugs but after a point, it is a DISEASE. And like any other disease, it requires patience, love and care to get people out of it!
