Requiem For A Dream
 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 10:35 [#00026538]



Who here as seen this film? And who here loves it? .... Why
do you enjoy it so much? I seem to really love this movie,
its done so well, and its just so funny and odd {in a good
way} that he used so many .. er.. pretty much ALL the
characters from PI. My favourite part would have to be the
end ofcourse..... or when Marion fucks that other dude {from
PI} for money for drugs... its so disturbing.

Excellent Movie, had more personal affect on me then almost
any other I've seen.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 10:40 [#00026540]



No Shit. It made me... ugh I dunno it was personal indeed. I
was a coke addict once.. but nothing like this. This scared
me kind of. Really it did. It was well done.. and im going
to buy it soon enough, already got PI. Got to get this one..
damn I hope he does more interesting movies such as these
two.


 

Ellies from in your mouth on 2001-08-28 10:48 [#00026547]



the soundtracks to the two films are essential
listening..clint did good.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 10:48 [#00026548]



Clint Mansell...... yes he DID very good.

I used to suck dick for coke.

every kid in high school should see this movie, its so fuked
up that it would change this world inside out,
the last 10 minutes of the movie scared the shite out of me


 

recycle from need new aphex twin on 2001-08-28 17:46 [#00026655]



i have it on dvd


 

zetre on 2001-08-28 18:44 [#00026674]



I saw Pi, and I really wanted it to be good, but it it
turned out to be quite far from that, really dissappointing,
100% emperor´s new clothes. Is Requiem.. any better?


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-08-28 18:57 [#00026675]



why did you like it? because you lke to see others in pain
maybe? i have to say, i did not enjoy it as much as Pi...
music is still good in both, but i think the whole desperate
drug addiction thing has been done too much. i mean, there's
"train spotting", and even "the addiction" (even though that
is about vampires, it still fallows suit). i am kind of sick
of these bleak addiction stories.. but that is just how i
feel....


 

PearlsGirrl on 2001-08-28 19:02 [#00026676]



you guys have a depressing taste in movies.....


 

recycle from need new aphex twin on 2001-08-28 22:07 [#00026699]



whats your movie then?


 

Fresch from Trondheim, Norway on 2001-08-28 22:10 [#00026703]



I'm gonna watch Requiem 4 A Dream tomorrow...Ellen Burstyn
looks kinda like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Got
inspiration from there I think.


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-28 22:30 [#00026713]



Quite an incredible flick...grim and heavy but silly and
cheesy (the man eating fridge right out of Ghostbuster :) )
all at the same time..I like how the novel was
contemporized..and I agree with r3fl3x the climactic
crescendos, with Marion screwing what looked like a demon
penis infront of the sweaty bussinessmen as the Ellen
Burstyn is ECTed has to be the most disturbing thing I have
seen in a while...It was my favourite film of the
year..until I saw "Songs from the Second Floor"..anyone seen
that?..left me absolutely gobsmacked!!


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-28 22:32 [#00026714]



http://www.requiemforadream.com
pretty awesome site too!!


 

Cream Pie on 2001-08-28 22:58 [#00026721]



It's not that good, but have you seen Head On?


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-28 23:11 [#00026725]



i just bought the dvd without seeing the movie because it
wasn't playing anywhere around here in theatres and i knew
i'd love it.

the end of the movie feels like a sledgehammer to the face.

i think the movie was fantastic. my friend watched it once
with me and after it ended he turned to me and said "That
was one of the best movies i've ever seen, and i never want
to see it again."

I can understand why. my favourite shot in it is Jennifer
Connely at the very end, with her smack, makeup smeared and
the scariest smile on her face........

I thought it was a brilliant film. and Pi is very good as
well.


 

Fresch from Trondheim, Norway on 2001-08-28 23:49 [#00026740]



The website scared the shit out of me!!

PI had potential to be so much more..it's flawed..but pretty
incredible for a first feature mind you..the lobotomy
endings a bit like the old corman flick "Man with Xray eyes"
or something, where after awhile the guy who develops Xray
vision starts seeing these demonic spectres and shit..so he
ends up poking his own eyes out..scared the pants off me as
a kid..supposedly they edited out the real ending of that
film..Protagonist is supposed to be screaming that he can
still see them, even with his eyes gone....Yeeeshhh...I am
good at harvesting tangents aren't I :)


 

sick on 2001-08-29 02:31 [#00026806]



the movie has great camera and editing work. and is so
beautiful in a dark way. desperate and alone but still
somewhat beautiful. i love pi as well but i think i like
requiem better. and the music was so good i got the
soundtrack the next day. its great because it makes you feel
like your in a movie. im all about that shit. that real
movie quality feeling almost like a high. everything looks,
tastes, smells, feels different.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-29 02:52 [#00026810]



Flea: I agree.... Pi was excellent... and I bought it but it
flawed in some places. Requiem For A Dream is fucking
amazing, the work is well WELL done, and it scared the crap
out of me. Just when Marion is fucking that guy from PI for
money and you see her boyfriend thinking about it, you feel
as if you know what its like.... to actually know someone is
cheating on you, then he takes the drugs.. and its all clear
in his head... its so disturbing, how everything is happy
and somewhat normal, and all turns to shit in the end.

Cream pie--> i have seen HeadOn, some of those sex scenes
were quite wrong, esp. the one at the end was FUCKED sound
fx and everything


 

Baron Von Picklefoot from The Baron Got a new computer !!!! on 2001-08-29 08:53 [#00027022]



If anyone loved the movie you gotta read the book byHubrt
Selby Jr. Such a crazy study in human addiction soo sad
never the less a must read THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!! P.S.
RIGHT NOW I'M ADDICTED TO CHEESE POPCORN!1


 

Shit on 2001-10-15 00:44 [#00041135]



I wasn't expecting this film to be good, I sort of was
because of the reactions of some, I watched it and it wasn't
depressing or life changing, I don't know, It was shit.


 

Quadrapelegicrobotikev from Ardmore on 2001-10-15 01:24 [#00041150]



my favorite movie, only movie that ever depressed me, it was
beautiful


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-10-15 02:41 [#00041170]



What worries/annoys/scares me, is when people get the wrong
message out of the movie "Don't Do Drugs." That's not what
the movie is about at all, it's about addiction, and our
society's lack of attentiveness towards drugs.

The doctor not looking up once at the mother when she is
O.D.ing. The doctor not treating the guy with the infected
track mark. We need to be responsible about our drugs, be
they legal/illegal.

It's an amazing movie, as I said in the second post on this
thread, I watched it again a little while ago, it got me to
download the soundtrack, and navigate my through the
website. Some of the greatest flash work on the web. I
suggest you all check it out.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-10-15 02:42 [#00041171]



Sounds like its time for me to check out the book, that is,
after I finish Lord of the Rings.


 

od from perth on 2001-10-15 03:15 [#00041186]



is it me or does that dude have the wrong arm cut off? on
the car... his right one is fucked up... but then on the
operating table i swear they cut off his left one. and
afterward, in hospital, his left one is missing.

all in all, a bit depressing for me. done really well,
though.


 

Tor Erik on 2001-10-15 06:22 [#00041219]



Love the film...

...the music, costumes, interiors, words and pictures.

...but it's not better than "Being John Malkovich", but...
