lol remember the strip club scene?

The film got its message across but it wasn't very entertaining. definitely not an uplifting film.

Watched that movie in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. It's one of those movies that sucks you in and doesn't let go. The climax was insanely powerful

You again?

And it was good. Exaggerated, but for good effect.

the film isn't what i would consider an accurate portrayal though, its a very surreal portrayal of heroin and uppers in a weird little story. tothink that everyone who does drugs will end up like that is a gross exaggeration though.

Trainspotting was better and much more entertaining.

I was just thinking about that film today. Love the film, so depressing. It has such a disturbing ending I really can't watch it too often, but it's really good.

Hi, I just watched a movie. Let me know what you think.Amber084

Ayyysss to Aysssss! Ayyyssss to Ayyyyssss!

I saw it about a year ago, an amazing movie at potraying the issues with drugs.

It made me feel bad, even though I don't do any of that kind of stuff. :P

There was nothing positive about it and it probably wanted to be that way. It's a punishment to watch it.

It was kind of like watching a baby fall apart. It's not fun, it's just disgusting.

I think it's overrated *puts up flame shield* I generally find any film that tries to tackle drug addiction with surreal filmography uninteresting, I still can't understand what people like about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

And it hits like every cliché in the book. Pawning your mom's TV, prostituting yourself, getting thrown in a southern prison full of sexual predators, it's like they took every exaggeration meant to scare kids away from drugs and put it into film form.

Oh yeah, forgot getting sent to the crazy house, that one takes the cake.

i like the song thats in it

Its one of my favorite movies by a great director, Darren Arronofsky(prbly butchered his name) If you really liked Requiem you should also try watching Pi and The Fountain, 2 more of my favorite movies

I was about to say this, but I guess I'll just quote you in agreement instead.

Requiem is worth watching if you've never seen it.

[QUOTE="vadicta"]

Didn't it kind of create the cliches, though?

harashawn

Which is when most of those activities were becoming clichés anyways. I dunno, maybe the book was responsible for the clichés, doesn't mean it feels any less clichéd when I watch it now.

It was a good film. I own it and find it to be an interesting look at drug addiction and social ties.

I don't know if I like "Requiem" or "Trainspotting" better. I think I need to go rent "Trainspotting" again.

I would suggest it for anybody who enjoyed "Requiem for a Dream."

I thought that the MOVIE was your basic "drugs are bad" propaganda.

What, is being on acid some sort of thing where you suddenly come into synch with what's going on in the movie and it all starts to make sense, or is just that the movie has trippy visuals and only people on acid find it entertaining, like a Pink Floyd video?

Trainspotting was better and much more entertaining.

Yeah it really shows you how drugs can **** up your life.F1_2004

There is so much energy and styIe in that film. Its quite mesmerising in capturing the rush. Some very disturbing images too. I didn't think it was cliche for a second because of the direction but also the juxtaposition between the movement of the couple against the internal disruption of the mother. biggest_loser
