what does everyone think of this movie?? i watched it for the second time recently and i cud enjoy the cinematographic sides of it more than the story.. anyways, interested in your opinions if anyone's seen it..a little disturbing
I think certain things were great, but certain things were sucky...for instance, NYC doesn't run out of heroin, and its not dealt in grocery stores with machinegun toting stock boys
I was really baked the first time I saw Requiem For A Dream and by the end of the movie it was almost physically painful to continue watching. I have since watched it sober and come to the conclusion that it is a good but not great movie.
I just finished watching this movie. I'm not sure if it's being drunk or sleep deprived, but I was definatly crying at the end. It was pretty painful to watch at the end., but I thought it was well done. The scene that sticks out for me is when he shoots up in his infected arm...What a sad story.
Hmm, I donno about you, but having my arm amputated, doesn't sounds that great to me. I like how this movie showed that drug fiends can be anyone. They can your mother, your neighbour, your kid, the rich girl down the street. Addiction doesn't discriminate, like many people sadly think it does. And the variants of addiction, from diet pills to heroin. And how neither are better then the other.
I actually found no compassion to the mother because her problems came out of being superficial I am kinda split between the girlfriend and the dude for the one I sympathize most for..
i feel mostly sad for harry...he loses his arms and marin. i dont feel much sympathy for her at all...just the last scene you see with her clutching her herion after going through that whole sex orgy... but it is definitly one of my favorite movies
i liked mosty the way things where showed. the music gave it the feeling. [as for the name requiem] very moving, ive been there in jail. talking to my girlfriend. the same words where said. so thats one of the best parts for me. but in all "Pi" was much more of a better movie. [i really dislike color]
But she's just laying there, and you can tell that she feels the most horrible that she ever has in her whole life, it was almost like her addiction did it, not her
What a great way to put that! I really loved this movie. I like any film that can make me think. . and this one had me thinking for a quite a few days after it. I think Ellen Burstyn's performance was utterly spellbinding. She deserved the Oscar, and I will always say Fuck Julia Roberts over it. I think Aronofsky did the best possible thing to the book. He made an entire world of drug subculture that is told from the point of view of a drug addict. The camera itself is addicted, frantic and panicky when they're out. . slow and calm when they're high. It's just a wonderful example of perfect filmmaking. Though, I never watch it anymore. . it gets me down for days lol. Sm**chies! Jacob.
i just got done watching this movie for the 1,000th time, and every time i end up the same, laying on my floor crying my eyes out and trying to get someone to talk to me. i love it so much because no movie can get such a strong emotion out of me... lonely and dissassociated and lost and scared.... i was going to post a thread about this movie in "horror movies" until i saw this one, because it truly is a horror movie. except instead of a killer or monster or something, they're running from themselves, their wants, their addictions... it's so fucking....great. i hate watching it alone...
