Shocking and Intense.. Way to Go Darren!

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2016)

As a person, I can say that this movie was utterly magnificent! It not only shocking me, but it was trippy! Darren Aronofsky, whose film, Black Swan, I'm still trying and promise never to watch again because it freaked me out! There are some films out, as well as today, that feel like character studies instead of films. Aronofsky is one of those directors who makes character studies. The Fountain was a film about reincarnation, death, and love, Black Swan was a film about the obsession of perfect and trying to lose yourself, The Wrestler was about redemption. Requiem for a Dream, I tell you, walks on the line between loss of one's self and a character piece. The cast is fantastic, the music is intense, the visuals are.. well they're visuals! This movie in my book, is amazing and will shock you to your very core after the film's final moments!
