I liked Pi better.
the downward spiral within RfaD is obvious pretty quickly - Pi is more interesting in that aspect.

RfaD is one of my all time favorites. The only move that left me 10 minutes dazed and confused in my seat after the movie.
I like Pi also very much but that's more a 'figuring out' movie while RfaD is more an 'experience' movie. Both have great soundstracks (On Pi are some afx and ae tracks.

pi and requiem for a dream are both amazing, I cant decide whcih I like better, requiem for a dream is hard to watch though but the message just kicks you in the ass. in pi you have to make your own conclusions, theyre both different so theres no point in saying which is better.

i much prefer pi. to me it communicates much more. though rfad is probably the more intense of the two, i just didn't ever feel the need to see it more than once. good film no doubt. drugs are bad mkay

with respect towards all opinions...i really hated requiem...too obvious for me...even the directing was certainly flash but obvious...pi hurt my head and went nowere....pi is more interesting than the film.

He's not making the Batman movie any more. It has been blocked as they are planning to make another sequel to the current franchise.

Pi is very good..but i think when it gets to the whole religious thing with the name of God and it being "given" to Max etc.. it loses a bit of its appeal... i don't know why but i found this a tad unoriginal..
i studied classics at school and i find the mathematics is the key to everything philosophy interesting (not necessarily correct though)

requiem is not supposed to be "not obvious " its not mystery or science fiction..its just a portrayal of the lives of these people in a period of 3 seasons.. a sad story that's really well wrritten, directed and acted (especially sara my favourite character)
i found it really powerful and intense

math is a numerical relationships... reality can be represented by numbers... so philosophy can involve mathematics, but in no way is math key to philosophy. there are plenty of philosophers that aren't concerned too much with numbers.

logic is the branch of philosophy that is shared with mathematics i think.. in a way maths IS everywhere but things can be random..not everything has to be a pattern i think

I didn't like Pi, the plot was very weak. Other than Ellen B's performance, and Marlon Waynes surprising me with a display of acting talent, I thought Requiem was a very average film, which has all been done before.

Trainspotting does an infinitely better job. Particularly as most Heroine addicts don't look as though they have just waled off a cat walk. And at no point in Requiem did I feel the way I did when the baby died in Trainspotting.

turdburgers, i just saw requiem. i really enjoyed the cinematography, the acting was excellent, overall a beautiful film, but GOD, i don't think i've ever seen such a depressing movie. let's end up in the worst possible situations imaginable and think about happy memories at the same time.
i think i'm gonna go watch eraserhead to cheer up.

Trainspotting.RfAD was my life for so many years....so I find those films real difficult to watch...
But Rfad was quite a turning point for me....

whoa just watched requiem for a dream... brilliantly painful :-/ maybe "glammed-up" but really well made, and the music..... coooor, that was amazing - kronos quartet are always doing such cool things.
Lee talked about the baby dying in trainspotting, which is definately the lowest point of that film, but when the camera zooms out on Harry in RfaD, on the hospital bed and you're provided with proof of what you thought had happened to him. I'm not sure how i held the tears in - if i lost my arm I'd kill myself.
i think those "happy memories" at the end of the film are meant to show a comparison between TV and reality.

i liked it. depressed me a lot tho, and would MOST DEFINATELY not watch it 3 times in two days, that is sickening dood.
the soundtracks is the best. that piano can transmit all the raw and powerfull emotions from the movie in such a simple and majestic maner.

Yeah, Requiem is incredible. I liked Trainspotting a little more too... but the films are very different, different techniques at getting a really affecting point across.
''I'm not sure how i held the tears in - if i lost my arm I'd kill myself. ''
The arm thing... that disturbed me. If I lost my left, I'd be really unhappy. If I lost my right, I'd kill myself.
