recently i watched the movie ,namely "REQUIEM FOR A DREAM", which is one of my fav movie. unofficial site after watching it, soundtrack for this movie is so impressive for me. and then looking for relevant soundtrack ,i found these are created by "Kronos Quartet". i have never heared them until watching the movie.. i recommend yo to listening to their music. you can listen to their music little bit on the site i took up. |

the music was played by the Kronos Quartet, but not created by them. Clint Mansell is the composer. |

and I believe just about everybody on this board knows and loves that soundtrack. :) |

the Kronos Quartet has played loads of good music, though. they're pretty adventurous. |

Trainspotting was a better film than Requiem. Had it not have been for Ellen Burstyn it would have just been a pile of forgettable wank. |

in order to stopping gear they should watch this movie :) |

i like trainspotting a lot, and i like requiem a lot, i sold back requiem after watching it about 10 times, the last 10 minutes are VERY disturbing. *old techno tapes ?* |

haha...you know what...I am totally fuckin useless...I keep on forgetting. What tapes do you want? I got fucking heaps of tapes from of the radio and I got loads from warehouse parties. When I dig them out, when I have the chance and when I remember I will convert them all to mp3 and burn them to CD's. Hopefully I will get a chance in about 3 weeks time. But I am opening another shop shortly so I am going to be very busy and I can't be arsed doing the 50 mile trip to my parents house :P |

Kronos Quartet have also commissioned work from John Zorn and Philip Glass. Allmusic.com has a piece and a discography of their work. Funny I came across them recently while I was looking for John Zorn releases. If you want to check out more Clint Mansell you can find him and listen to him on the |

i actually just finished watching Requiem with my g/f. amazing, simply amazing movie. one for something completely on its own... "feed me Sarah!" |

how did this movie become overrated? |
||||||||
|

It's not particularly well shot. The acting was distinctly average (with the exception of Marlon Waynes and of course Ellen Burstyn) it had an annoying MTV feel to it with the fast cuts and edits, it doesn't ever reflect true drug use, it was more comic book interpretation. I own it on DVD, and I am just not that impressed. |

Same goes for Pi, an overrated film with a wafer thin, contrived, plot. At least Pi was something a bit different from the mainstream though. |

points taken... i guess what i enjoyed the most was the message it was trying to get across so very harshly... i mean, its a movie right? when did reality ever become a variable? |

If you enjoy it fair enough :D All that bugs me about it is that people constantly hold it up as an anti drugs film, which it isn't. I didn't even feel it got the message across that well. Trainspotting did more with humour than Requiem did with it's 'horrific' ending. The babies death in Trainspotting, plus the general feeling of the vicious circle nature of addiction, the dirt, the lack of self worth, the just needing another fix came across a million times better. Requiem traded susbstance for gloss. The best anti drugs film I have ever seen though was a short documentry made by a young black director. I forget what it was called now...but that was a genuine eye opener. Especially the bit where he goes down into the basement of a crack house and there are these old fellas shooting up H and one of the collapses and dies on camera. Proper scary and sad stuff. |
