When Billy Corgan and Jonas Akerland first came up with the idea of making a music video based on kids on heavy drugs but very much in love, who would've thought that they would've come up with something as moving and powerful as "Try" has turned out to be. The whole thing is definitely very much inspired by the Darren Aronofsky film "Requiem for a dream" where other young kids destroy their lives focusing on tomorrow and not recognising today. Having the girls untruly young voice narrate over the top of it without any real dialogue made the whole experience even more powerful for me as it seems like a genuinely nice person has messed up and ended up living on the street with nothing more than her boyfriend and her dreams. But i seem to find the love story within this film to be part of it's power. these two people are all each other has in the world and they stand by and protect each other and share every burden together no matter what happens. Therein lies the beauty of the film for me. you can't help but feel sorry for these people even though it is evident that it's there own fault that they've fallen so low and why they aren't getting out but you still feel an affinity with them and the hard life they lead which they just seem to take on the chin. This again makes the impact of the final scenes all the more powerful for me
