Just watched Requiem for a Dream.. (no spoilers) DAMN!

[Objective]

If you haven't seen Requiem for a Dream, fucking watch it now! Shit's genius af, the story/plot and filming etc. is trippy as hell. Some realistic ish right there. The reason why I've slept on this shit is cuz I always assumed I had seen it since it's considered to be up there and I've watched quite a few movies over the years. Decided to ''watch it again'' and realized I hadn't seen it afterall, hah. I don't regret putting it on one fucking bit. It's a fucking gem.

I LIED, THERRE'S SPOILERS in the thread, just watch the movie and come back.

SPOILER?






















The phone call between Jared Leto and the girl, whatever her name is, near the end. Both of them knowing it's bullshit, but trying to hold onto something. My favorite part.







































/SPOILER?

For sure, shit's intense. It's rare that movies moves me in one way or the other, but this thing got me off guard a few times. The filming + use of sound/music/scenery etc. put me in the atmosphere from start to finnish. Rich for interesting characters as well. Requiem for a Dream is without doubt a dark, brutal & honest masterpiece.

I can't believe I haven't seen this till now.

Edit: Word @PancakeBrah, but remove the (possible/subtle) spoiler yo, don't wanna ruin shit for the others but I agree with everything you said.

@Figurative: It is a sign. Watch it man.

[Plot]

yeah grimey flick.
If you liked it, try Candy with Heath Ledger its got a similar grime to it.

[Bodey]

you should tell people there's spoilers

cuz i felt the worst for the mother at the end. although i do think it was an exaggeration of how negligent the doctors were with her, not to notice something was severely wrong to keep loading her up with scripts and unnecessary treatment

[PancakeBrah]

The mother was her own problem.

Requiem for a Dream. The American Dream. It's a movie about the degradation of America. The system failing the people, and the people failing themselves. You can argue the doctors failed the mother, but in truth she failed herself and fell into her true self. In my opinion you've interpreted the film incorrectly.

[Fig]

It's like someone said

okay fig, have all the spoilers. Here you go

@Plot candy is dope...might even b better then requiem
@Badi Alii r u not aware of the s fla pill mill scene or what it was like 5 years ago

[PancakeBrah]

The movie's more than 5 years old. At this point, no one should care about spoilers.

THE KID IN 'THE SIXTH SENSE' SEES DEAD PEOPLE; BRUCE WILLIS IS DEAD
KEVIN SPACEY IS THE MAIN BAD GUY IN 'USUAL SUSPECTS'
IN THE FIRST SEASON OF DEXTER, HIS SISTER'S BOYFRIEND IS THE VILLAIN AT THE END
NED STARK DIES IN SEASON 1

Fuck you. If you're on the internet, deal with it.

The mother failed herself, true, but doctors and the way they treated her is a product of society. We fuck it up for eachother and pull eachother down in the dirt as we cling on to whatever we think is right.

Also @PancakeBrah, I edited the first post some time ago. I agree. Calm down. It's okay, everything's gonna be fine.

darren aronofsky is the goat director/producer/screenwritter

Other noteables he has made
- the wrestler
- the fighter
- black swan
- the fountain (my fave film)

He is currently making 'Noah'

Dopeness, doesn't surprise me that he made Black Swan, hah, that was a masterpiece as well. I have seen the other two as well but not The Fountain. Gotta check it out. Dude got a sense for dark reality shit. Thanks for the heads up about Fountain and Noah, already looking forward to it.

@Masaii ain't he make Kids too

I rmbr there being some connection to Kids w Requim

I think that was it

If not it was dood who player Casper...but I think it was the former

BTW Kids is another awesome real life type movie that's a must see imo

[Plot]

Fountain and Black Swan were awful.

WATNING: kids is fucking shit. Do not listen to Rawn. darren aronofsky the goat had nothing to do with that woeful film. If you enjoy watching teenage wiggers get HIV then watch Kids, alternatively you could stab yourself in the eyeballs.

And i suppose transformers and the expendables were good?

Your fragile mind cannot even comprehend the plot of either.

kids was dope bro


U just lost mad points

I feel like they should implement watching that film into middle school health classes
