Requiem for a Dream

I watched this nearly 20 years ago, just once. It’s haunted me ever since. Far too disturbing to watch ever again, but it’s a stunning and very dark film with beautiful music. Don’t watch this unless you have a serious rom com on standby for later, oh, and you’ll probably need a cup of tea afterwards!

As i was growing up; i realized that i could hear things far away and see a reality much deeper than God who so chose to be born into that reality. Once portrayed from this film at the fast food vendor by the street: in a rehab; being unfairly treated. The system through this ideological film topology represented by high birds eye view shots that are so quick a typical viewer would not even recognize, (true drug addiction). One pull/hook into your vein and your blown for life, or into the artery and ur thrown into the shallow end with dead parents inside and a broken and/or shallow soul for an eternity.

Requiem For A Dream is one of the most horrifically disturbing films you will ever see and the most graphically excellent drug movies. I personally enjoyed Darren's PI, and that was the whole reason I watched this film. Not appealing from the trailer, but excellent. Jared Leto shines as a heroin addict, Ellen Burnstyn was brilliant and perfect as a old aged drug addict, Clint Mansel was good, and Marlon Wayans was excellent as a ghetto addict. This whole movie is Aronofsky's fantasy on drug hallucinations and heroin's affect as death, but this gazing at dark filmmaking is marvellous. With a great assembled cast, a great story, awesome songs and the neo noir effect on drugs- you can't miss Requiem For A Dream for its perfectness. It's dark, silly, scary and awesome.
