The cruel life with dependency

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2004)

I think the destiny let me watch that movie. I have seen another movie of the same director, I was impressed of it, I saw also, here in Imdb, that Requiem for a dream was appreciated by users and somebody else told me many good things about it, so I wanted to watch it, but it was not easy to be found. Very strangely, once, I read the program of a satellite tv channel never watched and (surprise) Requiem for a dream was there that night. The expectations have not been disappointed, it is a great movie. At the beginning you don't feel too much, everything seems normal (to be a movie). Step by step it let you feel the same emotions of characters, every one, and unfortunately they are bad emotions. After having watched this movie you feel very bad, something remain in you stomach, it is incredible. The director is able to let you enter in the mentality of a disturbed mind, disturbed by drugs, but it could be anything else that give dependency. Everything is secondary, dignity, family, love and life as well, to find what they need is the priority. Wonderful use of music, it interpret the anguish of imagines. The director is incredible using imagines mixed quickly, to make credible the dream-reality mix created in character's minds. If you haven't watched it yet do it, but don't go to bed just after, it will be difficult to sleep, you should watch another movie or go outside thinking something else. It is a straordinary movie, It have to be seen, it is a good example of the art of cinema.
