I found that I had thoughts I wanted to express, but could find no words. After the credits rolled, we both were silent for a good ten minutes. I watched it again the same night with my girlfriend, not because I wanted to upset her, but I felt that I had to share it. Partly in reaction to the devastatingly tragic ending, partly the beauty (yes) of the film, partly my gratitude for good things in my life. I've recommended it to two friends, and they both had the same reaction: I am glad I watched it, but I doubt I'll be in the frame of mind to watch it again, knowing what you feel.Īs I sat watching the credits roll, I began crying, but I'm still not sure why.
I'd like my family to see this, but can't *recommend* it to them.
These are usually the most involving and affecting ones. I often find myself recommending films to people that I am unable to briefly describe. It's a film that has never been made before, with nothing to compare to it - a rarity these days. Not because they will like it, or that it will teach them something they did not already know, but that it's a rare piece of work that will challenge and probably change them. I wish everyone I care about would see Requiem for a Dream. The drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island individuals are shattered when their addictions become stronger. Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans
