Not as good as Candy

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2012)

Don't misunderstand me: Requiem for a Dream is quiet a good movie. Its fascinating, thrilling and entertaining, and actually it also makes me think about drugs and society. But well: Its about the movie and not about society and its drug scenes. What I was missing was these high emotional feelings I felt when watching Candy , starring Heath Ledger in one of his best roles. There are many common things you can compare - as for example the protagonist who has a girlfriend, who has to prostitute in the end for financing their drug addicition. But I missed the feeling, the sadness, these special kind of empathy which overcame me in Candy, it actually was intense enough to make me cry - an emotional feeling that can only be evoced by really good and realistic movies; some sort of comparison with the protagonist, as you are twitching in his role and feel his dilemma.
If you'd ask me: Its worth watching, but id prefer Candy, and suggest you Candy if you want to watch a Movie about Drug, Addiciton and tragic.
