Its funny.... a lot of people say that movie is great. I watched it at a friends house and couldn't finish it... so booooorrring! i mean, its different and all, great cinematography or whatever, but i couldn't keep my eyes on the TV! I ended up leaving at one of the scenes where the mom got the phone call to be on the show or something.... really weird stuff...

But hey, not everyone's cup of tea i'd imagine. Glad to hear you enjoyed it?

I love this movie, put it on my Favs list.

didn't I tell ya that movie kicks ass? I seriously recommend people to watch this one. I'm so glad I didn't watch it alone because I watched it with a Film and Arts student and he was able to fill me in with a lot of the imagery that I otherwise woud've missed.

For examle, did you catch the scene when Jennifer Conelly became the party girl and the other girl was greasing up a doulbe ended dildo. If you look closely at Jennifer's thigh you will see it was bruised up real bad (meaning she got hammered real good by those bunch of freaks). The girl that was greasing up the double ended dildo looked real trashy which kinda symbolizes how maybe she was just as innocent as Conelly once was and this was the road Conelly was heading into and what she may look like in the future.

It was stuff like that, that was depressing as hell. If you watch the movie a second time you will see a lot of the imagery that you would've missed the first time (actually I wouldn't dare to watch it alone a second time LOL) It's some scary shit.

ahhh just woke up in sweat from that movie last night
I had nightmares and fridges hunting me down all night
ABTsportsline: ugh I wish I could say I enjoyed it...like you said it is veird 100%, the way its filmed and everything oh man, its insane and crazy stuff
so I dont realy see how Malice can have it as one of her favs ?
its a fuc$#% up movie
and I dont think I want to watch it again
cause I dont see nothing worth watching except O'Connelly, well maybe with friends if they are realy interested in seeing it
Trancewave you were lucky cause you didnt watch it alone so it probably was much easier on you if you watched it with somebody

gonna go rest again

Requeim for a Dream is Darren Aranofsky at his best. The content is undeniably shocking but it keeps u gripped.

Has anyone seen his earlier movie, eqaually as wierd called "Pi" its in black and white and i would recommend it to anyone who liked RFD.

i thought requiem for a dream was amazing. then again i thought pi was amazing when no one else that saw it with me liked it. darren aronofosky is the bomb. he turned down a big contract to direct a few movies including the next batman because he wanted to make requiem for a dream. the title is very appropriate. ellen burstyn's dream to be on television in her red dress, marlon wayans dream to keep his promise to his mother that he's gonna make it big, jared leto and jennifer connolly's dream about a better, simpler life. all come crashing down in flames due to dependency and drug abuse. but underneath it all they are decent people with kind hearts and pained emotions. it's a trip. i like the gritty realism of it with leto's abcess and stuff. call me twisted if you will but i work in a hospital where i see that sh!t for real so it doesn't really bother me. it was sick when he injected himself in the abcess though. that one made my stomach turn. also the music in the movie definitely set the emotion with the strings and dj skratching. awesome!

OK, now I understand why you guys were all hyped about this movie. We just saw it and I'm still amazed.

I like movies that are NOT hollywood. Movies that are kept the director's ideas. This entire movie shocked me at every moment, there was not a scene that lost my attention.

Whoa. I really can't put anymore words to this. If you haven't seen this movie, just give it some of your time. Watch it with an open mind and you'll get more out of it.

Ahhh....requiem for a dream. Its one of that movies that takes u, chew u, and sends u back with a lot of stuff to think off. Quite the opposite to normal movies.

And the music!!! God i loved the music.
Damn, i could talk for hours of this movie, its just amazing.

and if you find it disturbing, its because it shows the truth many times we dont want to see. That stuff happends daily, its not some fantasy story.


PS. the movie its already for sale in DVD.

So damn Happy!

Yea that movie was fucked up! I thought it was a good movie to watch though. I dont think I will be able to watch it again any time soon. I thought Pi was sooo much better of a movie!I liked how he brought a lot of the actors from Pi into Requiem for a Dream. Both movies totally stunned me though I am still amazed.
