This is a movie everyone should see, but unfortunately not enough will. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone. It had a profound impact on me and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I watched it on opening night. All in all, I would say Requiem For a Dream is a great movie. Hands down the best female performance I've watched this year, not even close. I can't believe an older woman would allow herself to be filmed like that. Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly had very good chemistry, while Marlon Wayans showed he is a talented actor and not just a talented comic. The actors really put themselves into their roles. The visuals were well done and the editing was outstanding. As a whole I felt the movie was excellent. Before the movie started I noticed the audience was quite loud and garrulous, but as it ended and the credits rolled the whole place was stone cold silent. I dare anybody to watch this and to not be touched and frightened by these characters. This movie may be the greatest anti-drug message of all time. I couldn't believe how low they all fell. The characters start off with somewhat mild addictions and then next thing you know the four main characters are living in hell. Over the course of the movie you see just how Aronofsky wants to send his message to the audience. There is no less serious dependence than another: there is no heroin, no amphetamines, no TV, no cocaine, there is only an incredible need of feeling accepted, of filling a deep and huge gap.I went to this movie hearing plenty of buzz about how graphic the content was. Aronofsky uses the episodic editing ( with the use of the detail, too) in order to link the protagonist’s dipendencies. Marion falls: she prostitutes herself in order to earn money for buying cocaine (the girl has never accepted his body and now ends up selling off it). Tyrone Falls: he’s put in prison and destroys Marion’s atelier project because of the payment of his prison bill.
#REQUIEM FOR A DREAM VIRTUAL PIANO TV#
Harry falls: he presents a TV to her mother, while she only wants his true love. In the moment in which Sarah enters in the dress, she looses contact with reality.įall comes. The woman however fails to enter the dress, and therefore starts an amphetaminical diet (we have a strong critique of the hypocritical pharmaceutical companies). This dress represents the past: her youth and her husband. Sarah sees it as the turn of her life, which is monotous and grey red is instead the dress that she would like to wear for the occasion. Meanwhile Sarah’s dependence already starts in the Summer under the worst sign: she’s invitated by telephone as a spectator in a TV show. In Summer the group does not suffer the downsides of its dependencies: the three dudes create a drug trafficking trough which they earn enough money to buy an apartment and even to put aside others, in order to open Marion’s dream atelier. Sarah has now entered in a parallel and muffled world in which the refrigerator (the woman’s hunger symbol) seems attacking her, and in which the participants of the talk show make fun of her. In Winter the characters totally loose the conception of reality. No, there isn’t Spring and it will never arrive: we’re far away from the famous English Romantic poet Percy Shelley ( “If winter Comes, can spring be far behind?”). Requiem For A Dream - Red Dress Scene Watch this video on YouTube. The film is divided into climate seasons: Summer, Fall (which is evidently simbolic) and Winter. Both are desperate for the love of the other, but none of them is willing to “earn” that love: Sarah sees in the love of her son his own realization as a mother, while Harry sees in the love of her mother his own realization as a person. In the first scene of the film Aronofsky, through the use of the split screen, shows us the claustrophobic solitude of the couple: Harry repeatedly steals his mother’s television in order to buy drugs and Ellen -frightened- isolates herself in the bathroom and then goes to buy again the TV. She craves the love of his son Harry (interpreted by Jared Leto), who is a drug addict. Sarah has lost her husband, and with him her own youth. Sarah Goldfarb (Academy Award nomination as Best Actress to Ellen Burstyn) is an elderly mother, who sadly spends her days between talk shows on TV and dull chats during the afternoon with her “colleagues”.
The four protagonists suffer from various dependencies, different from each other but united by the same mortal destiny.
The film is really a punch in the stomach for the way Aronofsky films the treated topics.
