Requiem for a Dream lets us see the destruction of four people's lives into delusional, drug addicted fiends. An amazingly depressing film. A mother who believes she is going to be on TV gets addicted to diet pills more akin to speed from a shady doctor, her son is and his friend are addicts trying their hand at drug dealing looking for a big break, and Marion is the girlfriend of one and because of her addiction she causes her own downfall into prostitution to satisfy her need to get high. These stories are the end result of what happens to people that don't get on A&E's Intervention.
Anyone who says Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, or Marlon Wayans can't act needs to see this.
And I finally know where that damn song came from that everyone uses in any and all Youtube videos.
5/5
Another nicely written review! Amazing that a depressing movie gets 5 stars. Sounds really deep but I think I'll pass.
