I just saw it yesterday. I have never been so influenced and haunted by a movie ever. This movie is so intense that I still have flashes from it. I just visited and as I remember I have seen this site before, but now the interest in digging into this mystery-site is a must. It almost retells the whole story again. I'm still shaken by this movie, and I can't believe how much. |
||||||||

|
|
Yea. It's pretty intense... especially if you can relate to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with you. That movie is so good yet so fucking disturbing. |
||||||||
|

||||||||

I really think that's the problem for me...I relate too much. Some of the trips remind me of massive amount of cough-medicine I used to take. It contains a heroin-base of some sort, so it isnt far from it. Also the depressive sides and dead things that seem hostile (the fridge), allthough that is related to dietpills in the movie. The worst thing about this movie is that there is no "upper". There is not that "save the day"-feeling you normally experience in mainstream movies. It just keeps going down, and down, and down... |

i d/l-ed it, haven't watched it yet though i will soon, now that i have read this thread :) |

I watched it once, good film, but I wouldn't like to see it again. Jar is right when he says there is no positive element, you might see the diet pills bit as comic relief if you have a very dark sense of humour, but other than that there's not much to laugh at. Normally I don't feel sorry for characters in the film who've brought things on themselves, but this film managed to make me pity them. |

you can look forward to a very scary experience, but also addictive (you will understand the behind that last comment after youve seen the movie) |

Jar = Junk? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I agree with Ceri. There's very little relief and what there is shouldn't really but it's seen as relief in the comparison to the darker shit that's going on around you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only relief at the end is Marion, but that is only her own. From viewers point of view you know where it all leads |

great movie. I don't think it's EVER been mentioned in this forum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it has hasn't it? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

I hope your beeing sarcastic... I'm still expecting Phobia to run in here and talk about how we should bump old topics instead of making new requiem for a dream has been mentioned, just not by me ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's been mentioned. I think I may have dropped it in in passing. First thread to itself I think though. |
||||||||
|
|

|

sarcasm my friends, sarcasm |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I'm suprised no one's mentioned "Pi" yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but still...it's nice to get peoples point of view about something put down to the basic discussion when creating a new topic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sarcasm again? :P |

agreed, and yes |

immediately after i watched the movie i was so fucking angry to be male. i hated how people will actually feed off of someones problems to get what they want. the next day, though, i was thinking about all the time. when that guy shot up in his arm and it was all black.....ahhh jezz, i felt the needle. |

I really like the actors. |

Jennifer Connelly is soo hot. I love her charactor in that movie. |
||||||||

the book is in a way worse than the movie, where the movie does justice to the book, the book is more detailed. things that occurr once or twice in the movie take place a lot in the book , ie. "ass to ass" i say "worse" as in a disturbing way, it was a very good book/movie |
||||||||

i only liked the dieting mother part beside that it was ok seen it once and i dont think i will see it again |

whereas 'Pi' dealt with an attempt to confront reality - grasp it, understand it, quantify it, 'Requiem For A Dream' (one of my favourite contemporary films) seemed to deal with the very opposite of that - namely, trying to escape the harsh realities of human existence - poverty, depression, loneliness, broken dreams. What links both of them is that in either case, the protagonists transgress the confines of common reality - via psychosis in 'Pi' and via narcotics in 'Requiem', and in both cases this brings about their downfall. I find it interesting that people seem to be uncomfortable with the fact that in 'Requiem' there is no happy ending - everyone suffers, no one remains immune from the pain of existence - self-inflicted or not. but that is exactly the point! it reflects real life - and particularly, the reality of addiction, depression, self-destruction. it is not intended to be uplifting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was intense, and I can't say I really enjoyed it, given I was kinda depressed when I watched it... but yeah, I will agree with you that it leaves you drained, and is very haunting... |
||||||||

good movie; the only complaint i have is that they should have got some other girl than jennifer connelly...i keep thinking the labyrinth. she's good at playing snots i suppose. has anyone seen a shitty movie called higher learning? god she is gross as hell in it. i just about threw up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought that jeniffer connelly was excellent in her role in 'requiem'. if anything, it was this performance which was truly worthy of an oscar, and not the shit job she did in 'beautiful mind' - which was perhaps due to the fact that it didn't strike me as a particularly demanding role in contrast to the one she played in 'requiem'. once you become an oscar-winning actress cast in a box-office smash, it's all downhill from there. i don't think we'll ever see her play anything remotely similar (or as good) as the spoiled little rich junkie girl in this film. |

It is a great great movie. By the end I'm curled up into a little ball sucking my thumb. |

ok so i picked this up in town today for a fiver. heard good things about it, and i liked pi... ...and i've just finished watching it. i'm not sure what to think. that is probably the bleakest thing i've ever watched. the sheer sense of frustration, false hope, paranoia and despair is almost too intense and i do feel quite sick. i think most people don't have to look too far around them and the people they know to witness behaviour like this, which is why i guess you pity the characters, even though all of their actions are their own fault. wow. fucking hell. what a film. |

It's really shit. |

Great movie. I don't feel terribly bad for the kid or his girlfriend... but the mom gets me every time. The scenes where she's watching that strange infomercial are very disturbing. I love it when the word WINTER slides down and the story goes into overdrive and takes on a manic feel, the last section of this movie is some of the best filmaking I've ever seen. But Pi and The Fountain both sucked pretty bad imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fucking rubbish. Stylized MTV fast edits coupled with no real substance. Sort of like Pi actually which was another grossly overrated heap of steaming turd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup. Both Requiem and Pi were vastly over rated. I liked Requiem more than Pi though, and I think I'd watch anything with Jennifer Connelly in it and be hard pressed to give it a bad review. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
utter shit, even wose than pi. the new one is probably crap as well. the director seems to have little or no soul, desperately trying to make a 'cool' movie.. stealing ideas and bits and pieces and doing all that's been done before, but pedantically worse. nice to see i'm not alone in thinking that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks guys. |

daron is a great director, he adds a magnificent sense of style to all his films. pi i consider to be his peak, but reqiuem is spectacular as well. the fountain, while being absolutely gorgeous in both look and concept, lacked a bit on the story side, making a story about time travel, the tree of life, cancer cures and conquistadores hardly believable. oh, and the last time i watched requiem i was coming down off of coke. not such a good idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why did everyone praise it 4 years ago and suddenly everyone hates it now. haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All of his films lack substance and his directorial style (whilst slightly different) doesn't really deviate that much from the norm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never liked the film -- somewhere in the vaults there is proof of that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did enjoy 'requiem...' when i watched it, but i don't ever want to watch it again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i'm not saying you did, but i'm just kinda suprised at the contrast in views of the films from when this thread was made all those years ago |
