You can try to put a positive spin on addiction, even make it cool - then you can watch Requiem for a Dream and come back to reality. This should also be shown in every school. It's depressing, yes, but that's the whole point. |

Music, plot, cinematography...all perfect. Every teenager/college student should see this movie in a class, as to what not to do with their life! One of the best ever made. |

More of an experience than an enjoyable film. |

*Spoilers Ahead*
Requiem for a Dream is a film with a familiar message (apparently drug addiction isn't that pleasant), but is stand outs by the shocking way in which this message is delivered. The films follows the descent of four characters into drug dependence. Leto, Wayans and Connelly play heroin addicts, and the beats of their story are somewhat standard. However, performances are uniformly strong (especially Connelly, who resorts to selling her own body to feed her habit), and it is heartbreaking to see people who are essentially decent ruin their lives. Ellen Burstyn's performance recieved the most plaudits upon release, and was rewarded with an Oscar nomination. Her story thread is the most unusual, initially dealing with an addiction to food, and then to diet pills. The trans... |

Reqieum for Every Character's Dreams |
|
Second attempt watching it. First rating: 2/10, Second Rating: 3.5/10 It was like a TV movie and was very effective. I was crying by the end, but still it's hard to watch. Ellen Burstyn is an amazing actress. The artist who made-up Jared Leto's arm was impressive. |

Big Surprise finds itself at #30..... |
|
Controversial because of its nature, it is how far the superb cast and director Darren Aronofsky dare to go that makes this one of the most alluring and electrifying movies I have ever seen. Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans are magnificent in this movie and all perhaps have their most rewarding performances of their career under the direction of Aronofsky. Be prepared to be wowed by the direction and material as four people try to survive their addictions to drugs. When I first saw this movie I was very impressed and couldn't keep my eyes off the screen...it is very different but in this viewer's opinion it is very rewarding and that is why it I rank it as the 30th greatest movie ever.... |
