The narrator rented the movie Candy based on its cover and found it to evoke extreme emotions from its characters. A quote from the poem "I carry your heart with me" by ee cummings impressed the narrator. Candy and Dan, the film's main characters, struggle with heroin addiction that destroys their relationship and lives. A scene where Candy writes a poem under the influence is hauntingly beautiful and the narrator's favorite. The ending of the relationship and film still gives the narrator chills.
