5.0 out of 5 starsSo depressing, yet so true to life...
By A. Brunelle on August 25, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
It is certainly not an easy movie to watch, especially at the end. It's the kind of movie that stays with you for awhile. It's about the story of 4 drug addicts, 2 on heroin (Jared Leto's character, Marlon Wayan's), one on cocaine (Jennifer Connelly), and the mother of Leto's character (Ellen Burnstyn) hooked on diet pills or "uppers." The movie starts off with the characters not quite addicted yet, although a case could be made for Leto's character already being addicted because he keeps selling his mother's TV. Sara Goldfarb (Burnstyn) starts off as a choco-holic, then finds out she's going to be on television by a call on her phone, but it is most likely a scam, but she uses this knowledge to try and lose weight. When dieting doesn't work, she goes to a doctor, who prescribes her 4 different pills, one of which is some kind of downer for her to take at night. She becomes a speed freak from taking these pills, and her life goes downhill from there to say the least.

The other three characters slide deeper and deeper into illegal drug addictions, and their lives take a serious toll. Connolly's character ends up resorting to prostitution, Leto and Wayans' characters end up getting locked up, with Leto's arm looking so bad it had to be mostly amputated. Wayans' character ends up staying in jail in the South somewhere. It is based on the novel by Hubert Shelby, Jr. Definitely a must-see, but be prepared for dire endings for all 4 main characters. It's the kind of movie that will have you question ever doing hardcore drugs, especially the ones 3 of the characters were into. The diet pills Goldfarb were on were 1950's diet pills, but I'm sure they are still prescribed today. Highly recommended for those who can handle movies that don't have a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 starsand then you’ll be living the easy life, your dreams having come true
By John Doe on February 19, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Some Spoilers:
Dare to dream, but don’t dream too big. You start out selling nickel bags of heroin. Soon, you’ll have enough money to buy a pound, and then you’ll be living the easy life, your dreams having come true. Such are the plans of Harry Goldfarb, Marion Silver, and Tyrone C. Love, three Brighton Beach, New York youngsters with plans for a brighter future. Meanwhile, Harry’s mother, Sara Goldfarb has glamorous dreams of her own that involve being on television, if only she can fit into that pretty little red dress that she used to wear. Requiem for a Dream (2000) is a masterpiece of drama and tragedy from director Daren Aronofsky, which once seen will never be forgotten. Although it fits squarely into the genre of drama, it is atypical simply for being a completely irredeemable tragedy. It is a frenetic trip through the chaotic lives and drug-addled minds of four souls on their own personal roads to ruin. It is American Dream turned American Nightmare.
The film is composed like a symphony, with the structure of verse, chorus, verse, a nod to Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Suite, I suppose. Verse One, starts out with Harry Goldfarb stealing his mother’s television set along with his friend Tyrone, so they can score some heroin. The setting is a somewhat bleak city scene, the colors are desaturated, and there is a slight vignette around the edges of the screen. I think all of this suggests a dreamlike state of mind, and it is an effective introduction to who the characters are. The musical score, featuring the powerful Lux Aeterna by composer Clint Mansell begins with a four-piece string quartet tuning their instruments then builds powerfully to a fast pace, as Harry and Tyrone race through the streets with their stolen television set.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Heartbreaking Masterpiece.
By Andrew Kotwicki on October 23, 2012
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I was familiar with Darren Aronofsky after seeing 'Pi' on video some years back. When I heard he had a new film under his belt, I was more than eager to catch up. What I didn't know was that I was in store for both one of the great movies of our generation and one of the most unexpected horror films you're likely to ever see. I remember walking into the theater surrounded by warning signs about the film's unrated content, and ran into a 'Pi' fan in the lobby. I sort of expected it to be uncompromising given 'Pi' and it's own excursion into madness and possible death, but I don't think one can ever really say they were 'prepared' for what 'Requiem' had in store for it's viewers. Based upon the novel by Hubert Selby, Jr.(Last Exit to Brooklyn), it tells the story of 3 addicts, Harry Goldfarb, Marion Silver, and Tyrone C. Love, seeking backdoor success in the drug underworld, paralleling the story of an elderly woman and mother of one of the addicts, Sara Goldfarb. While it cross-cuts between all 4 characters, the film is really about Sara Goldfarb and her innocent, naive foray into self-destruction. The ultimate aim of the film, of course, is to show how all the characters are clinging to a notion and thus bury their heads in the sand even as the natural forces of the world start to erode them away. When Harry Goldfarb, for example, shoots heroin into an open wound, it's both shocking visually but thematically illustrates his surrender to a notion that everything will wrap up nicely in the end. It'd be easy to dub 'Requiem' an anti-drug film, but it's about addiction period, consuming until your own addictions start to eat you alive. Everything from television, coffee, chocolate, sun-bathing, losing weight, etc., are all used by the characters to give their lives a sense of purpose.Read more ›
