Title: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: DipsetGeneral on August 29, 2006, 12:00:13 AM
I have had this flick for a few weeks but I just now watched it.  Wow that has to be the most depressing movie I have ever seen, I cant think of another movie that is as sad or depressing as this.  But it was a excellent movie, the music was great throughout the film, it fit everything perfectly.  The acting was fuckin AWESOME!  Honestly this was some of the best acting I have seen in a while.  It's crazy that there are actually junkies like that in this world.  But overall this was a very good movie.

seriously how could you not know it was herion?  I've never done it, but I thought that it was quite obvious.  I wouldn't call it a great movie.  Its not bad, but not great.  Very depressing, don't really understand why people would want to own this movie, but hey, one of my best friends owns it.

People would want to own this movie because of its excellent directing and because it's a great piece of film...PeACe

Listen to Nik, Grundy.  This is a great film
Title: Re: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: DipsetGeneral on August 31, 2006, 11:08:37 PM
WOW!  I just watched the end of this again, it's UNREAL how depressiing, deep, and powerful this movie was.  At the end when Marlon Wayans character has the vision of him as a kid laying in his mom's lap, wow very, very, deep and sad.  This is one of the most amazing movie's I have ever seen, as powerful as a movie can be.

everyone has their own opinion but I don't see how this is a great film.  on the same type of genre I think Kids is a much better film.
Title: Re: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: DipsetGeneral on August 31, 2006, 11:33:38 PM
^^Wow its all opinions so no need to argue, but you should watch this again man.  I know you have great taste in movies cause you love True Romance and I think that movie is the G.O.A.T.   But anyways watch this again, it really is as powerful as a movie can be

"Kids" is good, but the directing in this is just on another level...It is a matter of opinion, but it's not that hard to see what someone would find great about "Requim"...PeACe

It does have great directing and great acting, but the way you guys are talking about it in this thread I see you as putting it on the level of films like:

Goodfellas
Stand By Me
Good Will Hunting
Boyz N Da Hood
Boiler Room


and I've seen the movie 2+ times and I really have no desire to watch it again.  Its a depressing movie.  Its sort of like Passion of the Christ.  Yes its very powerful, but damn do you really want to own it?  How many times will you really watch it?  Again I ain't dissin anyone for the dvd's they buy unless it stars Jimmy Fallon, but I don't see why you would buy this one.

Very upset that True Romance wasnt on that list Grundy >:(

and propz for listing Stand By Me,  I LOVE that movie, such a classic!
Title: Re: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: acgrundy on August 31, 2006, 11:48:44 PM
I could make a list of 100 movies.  I love movies and have seen tons.  true romance is one of my favorites and I own it.  Quentin tarention is genius and I love all his movies, but I never seen from dusk til dawn.  I just made a short lil list off the top of my head.  but I think true romance is 100x better than requiem for a dream.
Title: Re: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: DipsetGeneral on August 31, 2006, 11:52:19 PM
Yeah I think Requiem was great but it doesnt have shit on True Romance I agree.  Nothing better than when he gets the advice from "Elvis" and proceeds to visit Drexel, man that scene was AMAZING
Title: Re: Finally watched "Requiem For A Dream"
Post by: acgrundy on August 31, 2006, 11:58:15 PM
true romance has too many good scenes.

Yall wanna see a great drug movie which you probably can relate to.  Go rent Home Grown.  Great weed movie.  Filmed all over Cali.  San Fran and where I grew up.  Great movie, I think its 100x better than requiem for a dream.  it stars billy bob thorton (one of the best) and that dude from studio 54 (another great movie)

No matter what you say, most people who know their shit in film recognize "Requim For A Dream" as a great film and consider it a top notch film...Hell, it's number 54 on the top 250 movies list with an 8.5 rating on IMDB...You might personally not like it, but it's an excellent movie...PeACe

^^^I know its fuckin crazy, I cant stop thinking about this movie lol, take in mind I just watched it for the first time 3 days ago and I watched the ending again tonight, so shit is fresh in my mind.  Yeah this movie is excellent, soooo amazingly sad, like I said earlier, at the end when you see Marlon on the bed in the prison and he has the vision of him and his mom as a child, fuck that shit is deep.  Fuckin incredible movie, the last 20 minutes is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
