The Story: Requiem for a
dream is a sad story to watch unfold, there is no happy ending
in Requiem For A Dream, and there shouldn't be because that just
wouldn't make any sense. The fast cuts and the soundtrack mixed
together take you for one wild ride in your seat as you watch
this epic drug film. View at your own risk. If you can handle
the rush.
Jared Leto is perfect as the confused Harry
along with his lonely mother, Sara Goldfarb played by Ellen
Burstyn. As well as his girlfriend/best friend and fellow
junkies Marion and Tyrone, played by Jennifer Connelly and
Marlon Wayans. This is tastefully done time-line of the
unraveling of the lives of junkies, the audiences watches with
their jaws dropped as the lives of the protagonists decay,
flourish, and end up in new twists showing a shocking view that
a "clean world" normally doesn't see.
Requiem for a dream needs to be watched more
than once to fully appreciate. Not everyone is going to like
this artistic film that leads down a path of self destruction
through addiction.
