Film - Requiem for a Dream

Watched this over the weekend. It got great reviews however in found it boring. It's sort of like train spotting just way slower. Some people may find it interesting but not me.

Plot
----
Requiem for a Dream is a movie about several people whose lives change dramatically because of their particular addictions. Harry (Jared Leto) and Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are two friends who live in a big city. They decide to make money by reselling heroin on the street so that they can get away from their dead-end lives. Eventually, they make a fair amount of money. They talk about buying a large amount of extremely pure heroin so that they can make the money they feel they need to "make it".

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Love the story, and I love the musical score. The book was written by Hubert Selby in 1978. I read one of his earlier books, "Last Exit to Brooklyn" and it is pretty good. It's also a very dark story about a group of people rotting away in a part of the city that is rotten from within. Very unorthodox way of writing, no periods or commas or capital letters, I think. This man was obviously a alcholic and heavy drug user.

But the movie is really good. It's too much for some people, but it's one of the best drug movies I'v ever seen. Much better than Trainspotting in terms of reality and crudeness.

jscott · 03-02-2009, 05:54 AM

MaliciousBiz, fucking hilarious!!! LOL

Reqiuem for a dream ROCKS!! I liked it a lot

The Duck · 03-02-2009, 06:00 AM

It is one of the best movies ever made.

CaptainHowdy · 03-02-2009, 06:03 AM

That movie makes "Trainspotting" look like a Disney movie...

Dirty Dutch · 03-02-2009, 06:07 AM

You didn't like it...!?

I thought it was amazing...
The way they edited the movie...!! Wicked...!!
And not to mention the part of the mother...
She won an oscar for her part in the movie, witch i think was well deserved...

But if you want to see a quicker movie with more action in it, you migth wanna watch 'Crank" with jason Statham...

I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe I was in the wrong mind set...

I watched Crank and though it was a good movie...

hzoltan · 03-02-2009, 07:22 AM

I guess it's just not your genre.
Try Spun, it has more action, but still have drugs and Brittany Murphy in it

Naphtansa · 03-02-2009, 07:30 AM

I liked this movie but it was a little bit too hard to be seen again and again ...
I prefer happy ends ...

thanks for this great moment Malicious Biz ;)

CamTraffic · 03-02-2009, 07:34 AM

mmmmh i found that movie excellent as well
definitely in my Top 10

HorseShit · 03-02-2009, 07:35 AM

I thought it was a pretty cool movie

ShellyCrash · 03-02-2009, 07:41 AM

I also thought it was pretty decent. I guess if you're just looking at it from a pure entertainment standpoint it doesn't really have any highs to ballance out the lows.

Have you seen Basketball Diaries? I loved that one, but I'm also a huge Jim Carroll fan so that might color my opinion.

John-ACWM · 03-02-2009, 12:16 PM

I tried to watch it 2 times but didn't get to the finish. maybe because of the great reviews

cykoe6 · 03-02-2009, 12:25 PM

The ending is awesome..... Ass to Ass!!!!!

mvee · 03-02-2009, 12:27 PM

I liked it when I saw it. I thought the whole pupil dilating thing was a neat trick at the time. The whole problem with the domestic movie industry is that there are not more directors like Darren Aronofsky who are given the opportunity to take chances and not make the Hollywood cliche movie. He only got that because he financed the movie PI on his CC.

Great movie. Incredible score. Clint Mansell is amazing.

chelis · 03-02-2009, 12:31 PM

I agree with you, everyone recommended it to me and once I saw it I thought,
what exactly is so good about this shit!?

Trainspotting is way way better and one of my alltime favorites.

Farang · 03-02-2009, 12:33 PM

like others said, it's a great movie

mynameisjim · 03-02-2009, 12:36 PM

That was a really good movie.

A lot more messages in it than just the ones about drugs.

good movie

HookUPcom · 03-02-2009, 03:12 PM

poor grandma... Great move!

aniloscash · 03-02-2009, 03:22 PM

I think I have that on dvd I'm gonna have to watch it again. I get in confused with Waking the Dead which came out the same year with Jennifer Connelley which was the movie I loved.

Far-L · 03-02-2009, 03:28 PM

Everyone thinks the movie is so dark and depressing but I have come to the conclusion that it is one of the best dark comedies of all time. Great movie. "Spun" is also a great movie - Mickey Rourke is genius in that movie.

Actually she was only nominated but lost the Oscar to horseface assfuck Julia Roberts...biggest injustice in Oscar history, IMHO

Her scene about be a lonely old woman and and her attempts to just fit into that red dress....truly amazing acting and one of the few times I ever teared up in a movie.

munki · 03-02-2009, 03:35 PM

I can't watch it and not feel dirty...

I agree. it was great!! It is more of a thinking mans movie. Every-time i see it, i pick out something else that i previously missed. It was great all around.

SPUN is indeed a faster, less dark movie. Very entertaining.
And HZOLTAN, dude why do you mention Brittany Murphy, and forget about god damn Mickey Rourke?

Requim is the only movie I watched (and I've seen a lot) that fucking got to me.
I was depressed for 2 days straight.
