-- Posted by panicxparadox at 6:13 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Watch Requiem for a Dream, that movie changed me and I'm not even on drugs. People need to see it. Harry (Jared Leto), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are impoverished heroin addicts living in Coney Island, NY, while Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is a fellow addict trying to distance herself from her wealthy father. Harry dreams of scoring a pound of smack, from which he could make enough money to open a clothing boutique with Marion, but so far he and his friends can barely scrape by supporting their own habits. Meanwhile, Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn), who spends her days watching television, is told she has the opportunity to appear on her favorite game show; wanting to lose enough weight to fit into her favorite red dress, she visits a sleazy doctor who gives her a prescription for amphetamines. Soon Sara has a drug habit of her own that is spiraling out of control. -- Posted by Chasey at 6:14 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Same here =| I love that film but I'm too scared to watch it again. I was traumatised for weeks. -- Posted by Molfsontan at 6:14 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Could I get a plot synopsis? -- Posted by MonsterxMovie at 6:15 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Quote: from Molfsontan at 2:14 pm on Sep. 21, 2008 Could I get a plot synopsis? I second that. -- Posted by SpM at 6:15 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Seen it, and it hasn't changed my attitude towards soft drugs in the least. -- Posted by SpM at 6:19 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Quote: from Molfsontan at 2:14 pm on Sep. 21, 2008 Could I get a plot synopsis? Basically follows several characters as they become increasingly addicted and deluded, and resolves when they are finally reacquainted to reality, with rather devastating results. -- Posted by Behringer at 6:32 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Haven't seen it, might want to at some point though. As SpM said, I doubt it would change my views on any soft drugs either. -- Posted by tell me again at 7:46 am on Sep. 21, 2008 The OP did say "if you need a reason to quit". -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 10:34 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Ive seen it many many times. Note the black dude smokes weed throughout the whole movie. That movie kept me off hard drugs but not drugs in general -- Posted by PewPew at 12:47 pm on Sep. 21, 2008 Watching it right now a torrented copy.
