What’s your opinion of Requiem for a Dream?

I really liked that movie and thought it had a really good message. However, I had one friend who suggested it was a horrible movie because it glorifies drug use. He said if they really wanted to terrify people into not doing drugs, then they should make a movie about a homeless mentally deficient guy named “Billy Bob” that smokes meth all the time. He said he actually did know the real “Billy Bob”.

 

it glorifies drug use? the main characters went to jail, lost an arm, became a whore, and went insane. which of those outcomes is glorious?

i haven't seen it in forever, but i really liked it back in the day.

 

I never liked it. Just that one scene *wink wink*. It tried to get interesting with the whole sped up meth vacuuming sequence, but it was still just a movie being boring. Cut it all up and place all of the scenes in the wrong order and I might give it a thumbs up.
