Tommy's Down fall
The second half of transporting is where you can say that the film takes a turn. The first half of the film is actually really comical and happy film even though it is about the effects of drugs on these young peoples lives. Tommy is the best example of this change of tone. Tommy is probably one of the most sympathetic characters in this story and everything that happens he doesn't deserve it. At the beginning of the film one of the first things he says is that he doesn't know what anyone would ever poison themselves with something like heroin which comes full cercle when he gets addicted and that basically destroys his life and eventually ends up in his death. Tommy loses his girlfriend and he's in a hard place and he thinks that the best thing for him was to try heroin as Mark is always saying how good it is , he thought it might help him. In the sequence where tommy asked for heroin Mark is high and it first looks like he dismissing him and is like nah you're better off without it, but as soon as Tommy brings out money Mark turns. This just show how Mark is not really a good friend , even to one of his nicer friend. he would still destroy his friend life for a bit of money.
