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!
lost
