Requiem For A Dream

deletedover 10 years

I just watched this movie, and it has made me super depressed. It's still got beautiful acting. Which movie has made you the most depressed?

The old woman from Requiem stayed with me for a longass time. Also, I didn't find trainspotting depressing. See: Schindler's List, Apocolypse Now, Taxk Driver, One Flew Oved the Cuckoo's Nest, Mystic River and just 1 scend from Full Metal Jacket. Also A Clockwork Orange.


one flew over made me really happy


Idk why I remember it being depressing.

oh *** hell requiem for a dream is just what. it's a fantastic film with great artistic direction and concept but seriously what the ***

i love horror films and i watch them all the time because it's my favourite genre but i can honestly say i've never watched a horror film that's scared me or even had a lasting effect (eg not wanting to be home alone or out alone at night or w/e) but *** REQUIEM FOR A DREAM MADE ME WANNA DIE like it made me schitz out in the corner of a room rocking w/ my teeth chattering and biting my nails to stop me from going into a full blown panic attack or throwing up

the final 5 minute montage is just something else


I can confirm Katie nearly panicked at the end of that film, the soundtrack alone gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. The fact that a film can cause such a reaction and make me feel such strong emotions is the sign that it's a masterpiece. Even if it is super *** up.

Apocalypse Now is a bad film, and everyone will disagree with me for saying that but I really don't like it.

The fridge creeped me out too. More than that, Harry's arm made me really squeamish.

I saw it along time ago and don't remember much. I DO remember one scene though where a woman takes speed and you see her nonstop clean her house in fast-motion while the sun is going down. It was the creepiest scene to me for some reason


I genuinely find her fridge scarier than anything in most horrors...

Requiem For A Dream is absolutely hopeless but extremely powerful stuff. It's not a good thing to watch if you're feeling down.
