very good movie. the camera work is second to none. the split screens with the pills was perfect. the spill screen where one of them takes some drugs and goes into the eye,blood stream. was just amazing. if you vist the website it is quite trippy. also Darren Arronofsky;s pi is a great watch if you havn't seen it. should be intresting to see Darren Arronofsky's batman movie coming out..

yeah, we only have the edited version... still good but i want my director's cut!!

ive watched both the edited version of this movie and the director's cut.. and WOW.. it has got to be one of the most intense emotionally distrubing and graphic but powerful movie... i dont think u can watch this movie too many times just cuz there are so many little things that attracts your attention the more times u watch it... if u can bypass the initial shock or the disturbing feelings then do watch it more than once... i was in awe watching this movie and the cinematography of it... so unique.. like how the fridge would attack the mother, when she was all delerious from the drugs.... how when jennifer & jared were in bed togeather the way their hands moved across the body and etc. amazing sequence whenever they were thinking about drug or takin them they shows the syringe being filled up and the eyes dilating... the directors cut was by far more profound and graphic but then maybe again, it might just seem that way cuz i wasnt paying so close attention the first time around... some parts of the movie were just so grotesque and distrubing that i had a hard time stomaching it but others were just amazingly potrayed. anyone pick up at the end when all the characters are lying in the bed alone sorta cuddling their own body portraying the result of their addictions... man, that was powerful... the acting in this movie was amazing! esp ellen portraying the lonley ageing mother whose dream, to be on the show in her red dress worn to her son's graduation, had become a nightmare and causing her to become psychotic! damn,in the part where shes literally going insane looking like a homelss schizo on the subway, she had me totally convinced.. i was freaking out but yet part of me felt so sad and pitied her... jared leto also did an amazing job portryaing the son addicted to heroin.. so thin and gaunt u could see his bone jabbing outa him (but he still looked hot )...

those u havent watched the movie. go watch it! the closer u are with the whole drug scene, the more impact this movie will have on u. even if have never touched drugs nor be around ppl that do, its still one hell of a movie.

w0w this thread brings back memories of the movie

i'm not an avid movie-watcher, but i must say that Requiem for a Dream is the most emotionally disturbing movie I have ever seen. *Spoiler Alert* especially creepy was the scene where Ellen Burstyn's character is high on speed and starts hallucinating, thinkin that the fridge is attacking her... o and the last five or ten minutes when the scenes cut from character to character, showing the horrible situations that each character is in.... gave me the friggin chills

and the soundtrack was CRAAAAAZZZZY GOOD

definitely one of the best movies i've ever seen... but not in a good, satisfying, uplifting way....

oh and btw, is the deepdiscountdvd.com version of Requiem the director's cut version??? i might buy it

no it shouldn't. the mass public doesn't want deep, emotionally moving movies... they want Britney Spears and action movies starring Vin Diesel as a deranged ex convict that snowboards down a cliff to save the world while a Kid Rock songs blares in the background....
