What part didn't you understand about that?

Thats it. Prescription drugs, heroin, a girl sucking dick for her fix and preforming in front of men, another losing his arm. Drugs can ruin lives and that is what the movie was about. Notice weed was not a focal point of the film. Great movie by the way.

If your ahving trouble understanding this one don't watch Pink Floyd: The Wall

I have the sneaking suspicion that you have in fact never seen this movie. And are merely trying to guess as to what its about based upon their website. If this is the case I'll let you know right now, its not going to work, not by a long shot.

It a really good film, very thought provoking and quite emotional (has some parts that will make you laugh but in a WTF?? laughing way)
good film

Requiem for a Dream exposes four paralleled individuals and their menacing addiction to heroin, cocaine, and diet pills (speed). Taking place in Brooklyn amidst the waning Coney Island, the drugs are very easily obtained and keep each main character in its cycle of dependence. The protagonist Harry Goldfarb is your typical heroin junky with an ambitious plan of "Getting off hard knocks," with help from his cocaine crazed girlfriend Marion and his long time friend Tyrone. Meanwhile his widowed mother is obsessed with the glamor of television and eventually finds her way to a dietitian who pushes her into the cycle of drug induced enslavement.
