    Just finished watching Requiem For A Dream for the first time

    and I have to say, it really did blow me away.

    I was expecting something completely different... but the way that it was done, ESPECIALLY the ending 3-4 minute montage with all 4 characters. It took my breath away

    what did you guys think of it?

                      Having been involved with heavy drugs in my youth, and having many friends that did the same, I can say the imagery in that movie is absolutely stunning. The images they use to convery the drug use are the things you actually remember; Licking the joint closed, drugs bubbling in the spoon, etc.

                      That movie hit a little too close to home for me in that respect and actually made me shiver. Very well done movie.

                        Here's what the movie is all about:

                        "Requiem for a Dream" teaches us that doing heroin leads to jail time, amputation, and being a whore. What it also teaches us is that if you apply yourself and get rich, you can get invited to these classy parties where heroin-addicted whores will do all sorts of crazy shit on a coffee table right in front of you. And they take requests too. Sure, Big Tim may be a drug dealer, but he's not making any money off it. He's only selling heroin for pussy so obviously he has a damn good day job. How else would he be able to pay for his swanky place and be able to throw these kick-ass parties? So I think what "Requiem" is ultimately telling us is that if you don't do drugs and get a good-paying job you can get poor drug-addicted girls to fuck on your coffee table in front of twenty of your friends. That's the American dream right there.

                            It is a great movie. I consider it to be one of the top movies actually because it is different. The camera work, the acting is good, the story line is just a little different, but the editing makes it really well? overall good movie.

                                why did you start getting involved with drugs? if you don't mind me asking?

                                too much money? problems at home? peer pressure? or nothing better to do?

                                curious minds want to know

                                    Incredible movie. I thought it hammered the point home a lot more artistically and sensitively than Trainspotting. so depressing, though.

                                              From what I remember, it mostly sucked.

                                              The ideas behind the movie were bland and unoriginal, the story was weak at best, the characters were mostly one-dimensional, and it tried to conceal all of this by going to the extreme in both style and content. True, some of the filming is creative and original, and the music really complements the images, but ultimately, that's just whipped cream and glazing on what is otherwise a turd.

                                                I disagree. Trainspotting has some things that Requiem for a Dream lacks, like humor, reasonably developed characters and a decent and fairly original story.

                                                      You might also like Trainspotting and Spun if you like Requiem. RfaD is too depressing to watch more than once a year or so for me. Same with Gummo, Happiness, and a few other movies that are also very good and most of your friends have probably never heard of them.

                                                          Pi and Requiem kick ass.... Both excellantly done movies. The drug related subject matter of the movie doesn't bother me so much, but the film itself is so well directed....

                                                            Gummo and Happiness are both great movies
                                                            They both suck you into weird, vile worlds that seem like parodies of our everyday existence, which provoke both a sense of disgust as well as a sense of tragic comedy.

                                                              the saddest stories, imo, were the womens. they were so removed from their humanity that their self destruction was because of vanity and the 'need' for drugs. harry and whatevermarlonwaynescharactersnamewas were thinking about the women they loved, not drugs or a red dress

                                                              also, jared leto was totally hot

                                                                  Quote:
                                                                  "Requiem for a Dream" teaches us that doing heroin leads to jail time, amputation, and being a whore. What it also teaches us is that if you apply yourself and get rich, you can get invited to these classy parties where heroin-addicted whores will do all sorts of crazy shit on a coffee table right in front of you. And they take requests too. Sure, Big Tim may be a drug dealer, but he's not making any money off it. He's only selling heroin for pussy so obviously he has a damn good day job. How else would he be able to pay for his swanky place and be able to throw these kick-ass parties? So I think what "Requiem" is ultimately telling us is that if you don't do drugs and get a good-paying job you can get poor drug-addicted girls to fuck on your coffee table in front of twenty of your friends. That's the American dream right there.

"Frankly, the amputation, the imprisonment, the orgy, the force feedings, and the electroshock therapy are far more memorable than the characters themselves. None of the characters have epiphanies or revelations, or even give a clue that any thought beyond the next high has crossed their minds. This might be true of real-life junkies, I don't know. But it's not what I want for my movie-going experience. There isn't a thinker in the bunch, much less a dreamer. So I guess I've gotten the point. Addiction is bad. Drugs are bad. Just say no."

"Frankly, the amputation, the imprisonment, the orgy, the force feedings, and the electroshock therapy are far more memorable than the characters themselves. None of the characters have epiphanies or revelations, or even give a clue that any thought beyond the next high has crossed their minds. This might be true of real-life junkies, I don't know. But it's not what I want for my movie-going experience. There isn't a thinker in the bunch, much less a dreamer. So I guess I've gotten the point. Addiction is bad. Drugs are bad. Just say no."
