Dreams

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2007)

I watched this heart-breaking movie twice in a space of few years. Its reality is so present and so powerful that squashes my heart so tight. In a world that claims to be so advanced and civilised, in the era of space stations and quantum mechanics, human being is still so desperate to find happiness and so unaware of how to get it.
All that Sara, Harry, Marion and others in this movie wanted was love and happiness. They all wanted to be loved, and they all cared for each other, but unfortunately they chose the wrong way to get to what they desired.
I was emotionally down for hours after watching this movie. It really shook my heart.
I specially appreciated the camera angles and concave lenses that created meaning to explain the status of the mind. For example when Sara saw the doctors surgery with a fish eye view or when Marion had such a big head that seemed very heavy with guilt after selling her body for drug money.
I have to admit, I have seen this scenario happening in real life to someone I dearly loved. That's why I have to claim that "Requim for a Dream" is real. It is no Hollywood glamour and shine. Watch it if you have the heart.
