Finally watched Requiem for a dream this morning. What a movie.
The sound design, music, THE ACTING??
I can't remember the last time I cried at a movie, but I very nearly cried at the mom's monologue and at the final scene.
"Now when I see the sun, I smile"
I'll admit, at around the 10-15 minute mark, I was wondering if people might have overhyped this film. But I swear, I think I got up for a breaks less than if I were actually sitting in a movie theater. The movie is hypnotizing.
The only time the movie lost me was towards the end with the ECT and the montage of the characters. (I was hitting the☝️🤓, I'm not doubting shitty mental Healthcare, I'm doubting that a squiggle is all you need to get ECT.) But that was only for a bit.
This movie was amazing.
