Requiem for a Dream

Anyone seen it?

GameMaster · 06-22-2007, 11:47 PM

I haven't not seen it.

Are you familiar with the theme?

Its one of those classic tunes that stands out.

I bought it awhile back...
The old woman made me cwy :<

Scared me off drugs for a good year.

Yeah, excellently directed and filmed and depressing as hell.

My favorite scene is definetly Marlon Wayans (forgot the characters name) running with the camera shaking at a low angle towards him. Very prettyful

My brother watched it and tells me to watch it as well.

I did see Trainspotting a while ago. Another depressing movie about drugs.

Without a doubt the most depressing film I've seen to date. Great movie, but not something to watch when you're already blue.

This was one of my favorite movies for a while, but I'll have to watch it again. I like movies that aren't too uplifting every once in a while because hey, life isn't always fun and games. Other depressing movies I'd recommend are The Bicycle Thief and Scarlet Street. Depressing, but great films.

The Butterfly Effect is also terribly depressing. They managed to put 90% of the worlds miseries into that movie. For me it was a great first watch, terrible second watch.

I'm actually currently watching Trainspotting. It's decent so far.

Saw it and will never see it again. Excellent movie, but it affected me to the point I had to go for a walk to shake it off.

SPOILER

The saddest and most disturbing part was that nobody dies... they all have to live with what they've become...

One of my favorite movies. Jared Leto is the man! Pi, by same director and similar style, is also pretty good.

The Bicycle Thief is incredibly sad. The last scene was pretty effective.

And Requiem was sad... but I enjoyed it a lot. The "getting high" scenes were great. The mother's scenario was terrifying.

I just finished watching it...its very depressing, for some reason it makes me think of people from school who were buddies of mine in elementary and middle school and started smoking pot and now are just ****ed up...very realistic...

I hear it has a great sex scene. Yes, no?
