just watched this film today after several recommendations from friends and such. i thought it was amazing for the most part. the only complaint i have is that the theme of addiction was a bit overstated and unrealistic. anyone (with more experience with this subject than myself) care to discuss? |
||||||||

first hand experience is the only way to go |

i guess the closest i've come to severe addiction would be video games during high school, but that never led to anything as exciting as a degrading lesbian sex show |

All I remember from this movie is Jennifer Connelly bumping uglies with another girl via a double sided dildo. Or was that something else? |

i only watched it once a few years ago. i liked it all right then. i've seen pi since then, and i hated that. i don't think i would like this movie anymore though. and yeah, the whole addiction thing seems silly. like that guys arm started rotting off after 9 months of shooting up? |

i thought it was shit. |

your arm can rot and fall off after only shooting up once, if its infected and goes untreated. |

well i fucking love it. epic soundtrack, most original and creative directing seen in years, considering it was done in 99 you gotta realise alot of stuff that you see today that looks similar is actually a rip of requiem. aranofsky self funded the project from the cash he made from PI (his first ever film) Yes the world of addiction is that fucked, yes peoples lives can slip that quickly. Neigggg B123 the high horse soldier.. yeah its a gay movie whatever erhrhrhh so cliche' eww gross etc.. go watch RV or daddy day care |

big and spectacular style exercise, but a bit empty beyond the package, imo... silence is nice too |

"most original and creative directing seen in years, considering it was done in 99 (you gotta realise alot of stuff that you see today that looks similar is actually a rip of requiem)" that's very bold of you! :) i hate aronofsky for the exact opposite. i feel he is a total biter with no artistic conscience whatsoever (if such a thing can be said). i don't mean to be rude but i do feel you haven't got much to back your statement. i'm not having a go at your taste btw, it's always nice to enjoy something. |

Thankyou for your much more mature response than the griffin man. who didn't back up his claim btw. :P It was bold hey, but I was a 18yo know-it-all when that movie came out and was a big requiem fan boy for some time. I said the stuff I did becuase of the prominence of the strapped to body close up shots you see so much in mainstream cinema these days that I don't remember much of before RFAD. I also like the way that used split screen as a vehicle of story telling and to say so much more about the characters relationships to each other than what would have otherwise been possible, without it looking stupid as split screen almost always does. ei: the original thomas crown affair. haha although that was a kinda cool movie too, it just looked like a 2 hour 1960's johnny walker ad. |

darius is actually a very lovely person but he has the temper of eight rather big men. i meet him sometimes in orinoco fsky threads for the usual rants, i guess this time he shortened his style. |

oaky, well it is the internet i guess. Just read an article about aronosfky and all the trouble he had with the fountain today, that sucks for him eh. oh well, i'll give it a go. |

It was decent...wouldn't watch it again for fear of severe depression for a few hours thereafter. |

I really like the film. The soundtrack is magnificent too. |

there was another thread about this film recently and everyone said it was shit and now everyone likes it again. |

Hmmm, my response has always been the same. Oh well. |

I said the stuff I did becuase of the prominence of the strapped to body close up shots you see so much in mainstream cinema these days that I don't remember much of before RFAD. (1966) (1973) Both really great films you should see them. There's probably more. Aronofsky is more or less trying to claim this technique as his, and I find it disgusting. Boo to him. And sorry for being rude earlier. I have voiced my opinion about the film many times, and I got a little annoyed at the Daddy Day Care comment, but now you're nice :( |

i found it difficult to sympathize with jared letos character because jordan catilano was such a bonehead on my so called life. it wasnt a great movie. |

good film, altho i like pi better. got to admit, his work is does have a bit of style over substance, but when the style is that good... last time i watched requiem it was 5 in the morning and i was coming down off coke. fucking awful idea. PS. JESSIE! where the fuck did you come from? |

I watched Pi upon its video release many phases of the moon ago. I enjoyed the first half and then it got mind-numbingly dull and messy. When I watched Requiem For A Dream I did not know it was directed by the same man. My god, it was AWFUL. Such a contrived piece of teenage angst: Like listening to 10 copies of Pink Floyd The Wall out of sync on giant speakers whilst being situated in a dark corner of a bedroom cutting "4 REAL" into the skin of my arms and writing poetry backwards which makes no sense because it's so damnably profound. |

hey you big jerk... i've been trying to get a hold of you for a few days! I even posted a topic called "hedphukkerr!!" a couple days back, in hopes that you'd see it... you didn't. |

after i saw this movie i stopped eating pills (minus ecstacy) so i'd have to say that it affected me in a positive way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
saying you stopped doing pills except for ecstacy is like saying you stopped drinking except for beer. jess, call me or something. youve got my california number right? we should talk, im just as miserable as ever. |

I liked it. A colourful movie. I especially liked the scenes involving the old lady addicted to diet pills. |

i like the soundtrack. |

i like stressing movies, but this one not. drama drama. pi was boring and empty as well. camera and edititing okay, not too shabby, but Aronofski writes/directs for 18 year olds. |
