requiem for a dream
    #9519736 -

it sucked imo. "spun" is more like it. requiem seemed to be just a "drugs are bad" bs. sure some of it was real and drugs CAN be bad but that was just a one sided head trip for them young kids.

discuss

One of my fav movies, don't think it's comparable to Spun, even if I liked it too.


And I don't think it says "drugs are bad", it's more like "abusing certain drugs won't let you go far", don't you think so?

Overall it's a well directed movie and what can I say about the soundtrack... it kind of gets under your skin, somehow. It fits so good with the movie.

i didn't like reqeium for a dream...  i didn't think the themes were about drugs though...

i thought it had alot more to do with happiness, the nature of habit, and the  the gaps between our aspirations and reality.

my negative opinion toward it is fueled by people who have no real knowledge of drugs, who then watch requiem and in the end all they can say is "goddamn i hate junkies, man"

Requiem  >>> Spun.

To each their own of course, but I strongly disagree that it sucked.

come on guys... look below the surface of things a little.

from wiki

"However, Aaronofsky has said:[5]

    Requiem for a Dream is not about heroin or about drugs… The Harry-Tyrone-Marion story is a very traditional heroin story. But putting it side by side with the Sara story, we suddenly say, "Oh, my God, what is a drug?" The idea that the same inner monologue goes through a person's head when they're trying quit drugs as with cigarettes, as when they're trying to not eat food so they can lose 20 pounds, was really fascinating to me. I thought it was an idea that we hadn't seen on film and I wanted to bring it up on the screen."

"In the book, Selby refers to the "American Dream" as amorphous and unattainable, a compilation of the various desires of the story's characters. All the characters use some form of addiction as a substitute for the actual fulfillment of a dream, choosing immediate sensory placation over a struggle for some higher good. Selby explains the title of his book in this context—as a requiem for some specific dream (a dream) as opposed to the larger, overarching "American Dream" (the dream).[page # needed] While an individual dream can wither and die, the American Dream is persistent and cannot be easily overcome, certainly not by those who are so entangled in it that they cannot see it."

I think Requiem far surpasses Spun. Requiem to me is much more thoughtful in the sense that it takes a realistic spin to things and lets you identify with the characters in your own way; by using multiple drugs and circumstances that we can all fall prey to. I believe someone who has no knowledge about drugs will look at each film with a distaste for drugs. With Spun they will look at speed users as a dirty sub-society rather than with Requiem they can find someone who they know personally who can relate to one of the victims/characters. Requiem is a hard to pilll to swallow and for that I believe it deserves much more respect because not everyone can tolerate things of that nature. In other words it is way too realistic for a lot of people to let into their bubble.

Requiem is a masterpiece in cinematography and storytelling.

With all the horrible movies that are released today I can't really see how you can say this movie sucked. I liked the movie, and it was certainly much better then some of the recent shit to come out like "Eagle Eye", "Jumper" and "Juno". Plus it has that awesome soundtrack.

You liked Spun better?
Spun was horrible.
Requiem for a Dream was also horrible, but Spun was completely awful.
