requiem for a dream

[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.

[SomeGuy]

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

My thoughs exactly

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

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.
