Requiem for what.... dreams... delusion? ... you don't have to use "drugs" to be deluded, addicted........ thou i guess it helps to go over the edge... "drugs are bad, mkay"?... any opinions???? very interesting movie nonetheless, quite good... music very good by Clint Mansell, with Kronos quartet, who i've never really listened to..... |

I thought the title was pretty self-explantory really... Requiem for a Dream....it's all about lost dreams & the death of hope...it's from a druggie perspective, I guess, but it's not wholely about drugs..altho they do play a big part in the death of the dreams in the film... Get the DVD if you can..lots of good extras (including making of & Ellen Burstyn talking with Helbert Selbert jr...)..& smooth Directors track from DA... I saw Last Exit to Brooklyn on VHS for a fiver the other day...based on another book by Helbert Selby Jr (the guy who wrote RTAF)...haven't seen or read that in years so think I might have to go back and buy that again....it's his most famous book, I think..was the subject of a big obscenity/censorship case in the US I believe (in the 60s I think)... |

if you still cry at Bambi then Requiem is probably not the film for you...;).. |
||||||||

i don't cry watching Bambi (anymore) i've moved on to horror movies :þ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's cool then...I was getting a worried about ya Alberto..;).. (altho admitably that must rank as one of the saddest moments on-screen...along with the Lassie Come Home....) |

I just finished watching this movie for the first time. I guess it was pretty good, but really just disturbing to me for the most part. It's just so goddamned depressing I don't think I'm better off for having seen it... Oh yeah, and great soundtrack. |

so glad i got my copy before the edited version was even released with pi in that "two for 18" deal. |

It's wank, overrated, boring, stylised, unrealistic, shit and contrived. Ellen Burstyn made it sort of OK to watch, without her performance I don't think I would have got to the end. I didn't find it disturbing in the least, just damn boring. The soundtrack was OK, nothing majorly impressive. In fact reminds me a lot of Pi, with it's paper thin "aren't I clever writing this" plot, its shitty fast edits with MTV inserts and it's loony camera angles. Why do people rave on about them so much? |

btw, I know Requiem was adapted from a book, but the screenplay was shit. |
||||||||

it was kinda like a nice trip to look at, like trainspotting, but then it got all moralistic by ending bad and it just got sucky |
||||||||
|

wooooooooooayaoo hey whats an mtv insert |
||||||||

i agree with braindance backwards, didnt do anything for me, yawn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it and am glad i bought it, i just love movies with bad endings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
replace "Ellen Burstyn" with Jennifer Connelly and i agree 100% also agree on the Pi comment both the movies have an awesome amount of artsyfartsy-wannabeeness but jennifer rules :P |
||||||||
|

|
|
whatever, i like the movie and the book is in my pile of books to read currently. |
