Has anyone here seen this movie? If so what'd you think of it? I thought it was shot in a really cool way. It was very depressing though. It's better when your not sober.. kind of on the same wavelength as the movie is I guess.

Great movie. Classic.

The director made another movie called Pi a few years ago.

I'm trying to find it myself.

It's one of the few movies that made me cry... That person who played the mom had such a powerful performance in that film.

I thought the ending was ludicrous. It was enjoyable to watch Jennifer Connely throughout though, I could watch her forever.

I agree. It had a really powerful narrative that really brought you done into the minds of all the characters. It's quite tragic, but it was done so well.

But to say that they make you do the most unspeakable things you can do is just wrong. My uncle is a heroin addict and he isn't maimed or insane or something.

You should charge people when they come over to your house for using the electricity that powers your light bulbs and your TV. Also for the water when they flush the toilet.

it has to be my favorite drug related movie that i have ever seen. really the acting was excellent, the way it was directed was crazy and it got to the point. also the soundtrack was one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard in my life although i like the LOTRs version better. but overall that is a great movie and should actualy be shown tohigh schools like someone had said. but also there is nudity involved and harsh languaga so im 50/50 about showing it to high schools. although there old enough parents might get shooken up. i would give this movie 3 and a half starts out of 4.

Darren Aronofsky is a great director. But "The Fountain" is by his best film. It's quite amazing, with beautiful visuals. You should see it if you haven't.

My uncle told me the story of a person he knewthat was tweaking out and started slamming their infant child around and killed it. Now that's extreme..

Scarface and Traffic destroy Requiem for a Dream.

i have yet to see traffic, but Scarface and requiem for a dream do have to do with drugs but in different ways.. i mean yea its better then requiem. but requiem is a better drug movie as in the fact that it is 5 times more realistic then scarface. also it shows you where drugs will take you and is much more dramatic. lets just say this. after watching scarface your perspective of drugs doesnt really change unless you were hoping to be a major drug dealer who owns everything and kills people. after watching requiem your perspective of taking drugs goes to an all time low. but yea i agree that scarface is a better movie then requiem but as in drug related terms requiem destroys it.

I am by no means advocating drugs. I once was coming down of a certain drug and watched this movie. Affected me for a looooong time. That being said, it's an excellent movie. To me pure insanity is one of the worst things that can happen to a person and what happens to the mom was really depressing/scary.

Pi was ok, nothing spectacular (I was hoping for more math:)), but I saw it right after City of God and I haven't liked a movie since that, so maybe I'm being harsh. I haven't seen requiem but my old roomate said it scarred him for life haha.

Quite possibly the most depressing movie I have ever seen.

And Ellen Burstyn...she deserved an Oscar for her performance.

Pi is an interesting movie. it's good that you watched Requiem for a Dream first since it's difficult to understand some of Aronofsky's intentions without seeing his second film first.

I think Layer Cake and Trainspotting are even better. Fear and Loathing is good though.
