watched requiem for a dream today. wow. i was blown away. i loved it so much. the music was fantastic, not to mention the actors were good.

i loved it because it portrayed drugs as they really. in our society drugs are presented in a glamourous way. like its cool to do drugs. i mean major musicians do them, why cant i? i mean sure everyone knows the affects of drugs and all that shit. but have you noticed when you tell people no, they go out and do exactly waht you told them not to do. and in our society it is not hard to get the drugs either. you can ask for a prescription and get pills, and i bet with enough searching its not hard to find the drugs either. i dont wanna say drugs are bad or that they are good...i dont really know i just was impressed by the fact that this film, Requiem For A Dream, presented it in such a realistic way.

there is no glamorization. no beating around the bush. the mother in the movie goes on "diet pills" more like speed and goes insane! and nothing they do can help her. and basically how easy she got her pills is how it is to get them today. her son, his arm gets infected and fucked up from shooting up. (heroin) in the end it gets cut off! and hes alone. his friend get put to work like prison work or somethin. he may have been the luckiest of them. the girl turns into a fuckin junkie and started sellin herself and doin all sorts of things to get her fix! at the end of the movie she lays down and just goes to sleep cradling her drugs.

this film is powerful and just brought it all home for me. it really good. no "look i take drugs and im happy forever!" fuck no! it shows you what its like. i loved the movie. extremely glad i saw it.
