I really didn't like this movie. The "transformation" was from one set of excesses to another set and neither was responsible or morale. He may now be serene, but he's left a mess in his wake: left the scene of an accident, left his girlfriend high and dry, he's no longer employed, he's wanted by the police, and he has no means of self support for shelter or food. If there was any lesson here, it was how not to be. I had no empathy for the others and how they perceived this transformation, either. For me it was a waste of time.
