Requiem for a Dream

[fasterspider]

I read above by one who has no friggin clue that drugs can't ruin your life. What the fuck is wrong with you stupid? Drugs can and will detsroy your life if you let them. I have lost way too many people in my life to drugs and was almost lost to them myself. Drugs destroyed the lives of the people in the movie just like drugs destroy peoples lives every day.
Drugs kill and it is stupid people that let drugs kill them, I got smarter and quit them. I am not saying that I am a super genius, far from it. But I was smart enough to quit messing with narcotics and alcohol because they took away my dreams and my life until I quit them. I still do not remember my dreams, they have been gone for 20 years.

What the hell is Requiem for a Dream? I mean, I've watched it before, but what is it suppose to be about?

Are you deaf and blind?

Your teacher doesn't know the art of filmaking then. and i suppose the Fight Club book blew us all away like the movie.

Actually, I think you'll find anyone that actually reads books will say the book is either always or almost always better than the movie (except for books that are written after the movie.)

i dont see how you cant see it being about drugs ruining lives. i havent seen it in a few years but if i remember right they took drugs and their lives got worse and worse and they were wanting better lives. the fight club book was better than the movie because the ending made sense, other than that they were about the same. norton and brad pitt did great jobs acting, i dont know how it would qualify as a masterful display of filmmaking though, and i am well aware they showed his apartment as a catalogue. a good movie but really a bad example if you are trying to think of movie being better than the book, the book was very well received
