Requiem For A Dream, let's discuss... Options

[xquizit]

How many of you have seen this film? I just viewed it last night and I literally sat there in shock for over 30 minutes. It's so disturbing and heart-wrenching that you just can't stop thinking about it. I even shed tears.

The movie takes you on a journey through the lives of 4 people who each have deadly addictions, namely drugs. Each of them do have dreams, goals, and this is made clear throughout the movie. You actually feel for the characters and only hope that they can overcome their addictions. But as you can determine from its title, there is no happy ending here.

It's message is very relevant and powerful, especially to today's youth, that I highly suggest you all pick it up if you haven't seen it already.

If you have, what did you think and what was its impact on you? I thought the acting, direction, cinematography, script, and all was very well done and effective for the message it was trying to deliver. Even though it is grim and somewhat depressing conclusion, I think it's the most beautiful and most powerful film I have ever seen. Unfortunately for its NC-17 rating, it's restricted from the age group who sincerely need to see it most.

god I loved this movie.  I must say I cried too.  I don;t want to be old first of all.  And second, I've lost a few best friends due to drugs.  It's pathetic truly pathetic that people just throw themselves away.  And worst part about the movie is that there REALLY ARE people like that.  great movie though i must say

yeah. my friend josh is doing that at the moment
throwing everything away.
it is one of the best movies.

I have to say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The acting is brilliant, and so is just about everything in this movie. Definitely on my top 10 list.
