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 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.
