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? |
me thinks you is a gay cowbay like them brokeback fellows

|

I felt like somehting was wrong with me enjoying seeing Jennifer Connely in that situation. But fuck... I guess that omes with being involved in the porn biz :disgust |
Ass to ass!

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:

too much money? problems at home? peer pressure? or nothing better to do? curious minds want to know :) |
It looks like an interesting movie, i would check it out.
|
Incredible movie. I thought it hammered the point home a lot more artistically and sensitively than Trainspotting. so depressing, though.

good movie and even better soundtrack
|
yeah, Trainspotting doesnt stand next to Requiem

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. |

the 1st time i saw that movie, i was moved to tears.

This movie is one of a kind...its truly amazing
|
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. :)
|
definately a moving flic
|
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....

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. |
darren arronofsky is one of the best directors ever ever ever
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 |
Only retards want to dicuss 10 year old movies.
But the movie is great, love the music. |

Love that movie... but it took me three times watching it before I realized it is a comedy and not a tragedy... and that is about the time I became aware of its true genius...

Great movie! however, according to Beck Finley, the movie lacks symapthy for uts characters. "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."

Beck Finley sounds like a nazi critic.
"it's not what I want for my movie-going experience" he should direct n' produce his own movies then and watch only them lol |

one of the reasons its so good is because it ends at the pinnacle of their destructions |
Amazing movie. I saw it for the first time about 5 months ago.. In fact, I think it's time to put the DVD on :)

i saw it twice, not bad, but not amazing. second time - just because i had no other movie on my desk
|
over rated cinematic masturbation thats trying too hard and been done before.
a movie for high school and college kids. the only redeeming value is the soundtrack and a surprisingly good performance by the wayan brother. and whar punkworld said - |
Reckon that all the egregious drug-related *sin* was a kind of "porn" -- meaning it was a thing we wish not to see ourselves ever do, and this movie was FAR more destructive on the Fallwell-o-Meter than any fierce fisting vid that ever came out of Sherman Oaks -- :2 cents:
|
I would have to say Jennifer Connely gave a better performance in Requiem than her forgettable role in A Beautiful Mind
