[Nullific]

It was a good movie, though I found it to be a bit sensationalized.
Awesome sound track in any case.

[anycraic]

well im never touching heroin after seeing that, in that sense it was a great movie

[beachguy in thongs]

My favorite part is near the end, when those businessmen are enjoying the girls, and their dildos.

[J4ay20]

[ScarlettCrush]

I thought it was really stark and depressing.

[buginabassbin]

i have to say i wasn't all that moved by it. it was ok and a well made film and the acting was good but with the exception of the mother i didn't really have that much sympathy for any of the characters when everything went tits up.

the mother wanted to get slim so she took what the doctor gave her without question, so i guess at worst she was naive. the kids though they just wanted to get fucked up and have fun and would have been more aware of the inevitble trainwreck.

life is all about choices and you can blame anyone and everything for becoming a junkie but at the end of the day no one is forcing you to put £100 quids worth of smack up your arm every day.

good flick.heroin,i'll bugger that for a game of soldiers.

[Euphoric]

what does "bugger" mean exactly? i don't know if i've buggered anyone before...
requiem for a dream was so cool. i'm usually very cold, emotionally when it comes to the media and it's predictable plots and such..but i cried after this movie. :stoned:

[king kong bong]

bugger that for a game of soldiers-an expression of resignation-i.e. there's no way i'm doing that! similar sentiments to the expression screw it.

My thoughs exactly

[ScarlettCrush]

What was the purpose of this film? I don't see how ya'll think it is a good movie, why do you like it? It made me really depressed.
Everyone was a theif, a liar, a user, stole from their mothers and fucked relatives for cash......they where not good people. They poisoned themselves and anyone around them. Like Bug, I had no sympathy for the charicters other than the mother, who I felt really bad for because everone ignored her until she went insane.
The further this movie went along I was more and more confused as to why these kids kept making such obviously fucked up decisions and what I was supposed to feel about that. The dildo scene hotness didn't reach me; all I thought about was how scabby, knobby and detached a girl this desperate for drugs would really look like. How mercenary a man would have to be, to pay to see such a thing...is just chilling to me.

Why where they doing those things? Do drugs make them feel so good, that they don't care about doing morally devastating and evil acts, or do they need to take it to forget about all the bad shit they are doing?
If people are really like that...I don't want to see it.
I'm afraid they are

[sharpezor]

yeah his arm was sick.

i liked it cuz it was realistic.thats how shit is really like.

[ScarlettCrush]

it is only realistic if it is accepted- and I don't accept this as part of my reality.
My world is so much prettier.

[nakedgunner]

I loved the movie to be honest. Yes, it was depressing. I'm a curious person, but I hope to never see that side of the world live. I'm almost sure I never will. BUT, despite never wanting to see that disturbing and ugly side of the world live, I still want to see it. Curiousity is disgusting like that I suppose. Watching it through a movie was much easier then watching real people exist in such a hellhole.

I enjoyed the movie. In part because it allowed me to see a part of the world I never will and in part because it was directed amazingly. I've never seen the unedited version, ((but I've heard it's pretty gruesome so I really have no urge to... I'm not into watched faces of death kinda shit. makes my throat ill and want to vomit)) I own the edited version though.

My sister hates the movie and she gave me her edited version that she had gotten as a gift about 2 weeks ago. I watched it when I was on 2 zicam nites about a week and a half ago. I had been abusing DXM daily in ridiculous quantities ((1-3 znites a day)) for about 2 weeks at that point. Requiem for a Dream at the peak of 1100mg of DXM blew my brain up as if I had been holding a gun to it for 17 years and finally pulled the trigger. And I think I had been. But, the gun was metaphorical or something. That doesn't change that it was there though.

After Requiem for a Dream I lightened the mood with some Blues Clue's. Finding the clues and telling him where they are is alot of fun when the inhibitions are all hiding way far in the back of my brain. I don't mind typing all this up.. but boy would I prefer to write it all in a handy dandy... -pause waiting to say it in sync with the two year old- "NOTEBOOK!!!"

Requiem for a dream was the reason I haven't done dxm in over a week. Yay for movies about disassociated P-o-S junkies.

[CocaCola]

Heroin is not the cause of junkies. My God, you guys can be so dull. The characters in the movie are obviously dumb, shooting up everything they can get into their arm and working to get anything they can, it's their own fault. It's people's own stupidity that gets them into trouble like that. I'm not a user and I'm not defending users or saying Heroin use is ok. Just that's the way it works. The movie... meh.

I don't think anyone was saying heroin is the cause of junkies. A junkie is pretty much anyone who abuses drugs to the point that it severely fucks up their life. I've been there with DXM, pot, and LSA seeds. -laughs- Heroin is just the hardest drug to get unjunkied for a great deal of people.

lol,idem dito. It was cool how trainspotting was sometimes funny, but also dramatic. I kinda missed that in RFaD, although it's been a while since I saw it, so it's possible I just forgot the funny parts.
