Requiem for a Dream
Four hours has passed since watching Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky and still, I get shivers when I think about where their addictions had led them. This film is all about addictions and portrays it in it's most popular medium: drugs. Be it cocaine, meth, speed, heroin, chocolate, food, sex or love, addictions are destructive, at least that's what the films says. The film also deals with the delusions we face and what happens when we overtake reality and repair to our delusions of grandeur - reality will catch up pretty soon and there's gonna be a hard and sickening fall for you.
Okay, we are past the theme. Now, onwards to the delivery.

I cant write a proper review. I get the shivers. All I can say is that watching this film forces you to delve into the deepest and darkest emotions of man. What they will do to achieve something. How low they can go to satisfy their addictions.
The last 30 minutes of the film was too harrowing and forced me to look away but yet I am compelled to know what happens to them and how they will turn out. Darren takes you down the path of their own self destruction and when retribution comes along, makes you cringe at what had become of them. Eventually, they will again return to their dreamworld, for their reality is so unreal that it surpasses the darkest, most pitiful and obscene fantasies the human mind can imagine. Watching Requiem for a Dream is quite an experience. It evokes visceral emotions, emotions you never know could exist.
I don't know why but after I watched Requiem for a Dream, I had the strange urge to go out and smoke two cigarretes in each hand.
