Tali: Requiem for a Dream is a movie with drug use in it, but it is not just a movie about drugs. RfaD follows the intersecting of lives of several junkies (some self-admitted while others are in denial about their addiction) and their downward spiral in a claustrophobic hell. Although at times terrifying and even hard to watch, you CANNOT stop thinking about these characters and what will happen to them next. This film freaked the shit out of me but even over 24 hours after watching it I still cannot stop thinking about it. Darren Aronofsky is a phenomenal film maker and this movie is an excellent demonstration of his achievements in cinematography as well. Basically, you know a movie is fucked up when you have to watch an episode of Criminal Minds after to clear your head.
Leo: ^^ says it all. I recently re-watched this movie and thought....well....can I actually "recommend" this movie to anyone? It's one of the best, if not the best Darren Aronofsky movie because it delivers its message so well. It scares the fuck out of you. It makes you semi-depressed but semi-relieved that you are in a better situation then every single character in the movie. No matter what has happened to you, if you are reading this, you are NOT this fucked up. See it but have something like Rush Hour 2 or Pirates of the Caribbean to cheer you up after....or something. It's fucked.
