Requiem for a Dream

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2018)

This movie is an emotional roller coaster with a very positive message. It portrays the miserable lives of two drug-addicts. The desperation they have just to get a fix is definitely well portrayed. Parallel with this narrative is the narrative about the one addict's mother who is basically a recluse who watches television whole day, everyday. She falls into total derangement which portrays how easily people can be brainwashed by popular media. The musical score is excellent and drenched in strong emotion.
