It is not easy to deal with drug addiction, but when this issue reaches a higher level, that is when the real problems start happening even more often than ever. Requiem for a Dream is a movie that will make you think about the drug addiction and the world that these people live in. Director of the movie is Darren Aronofsky and he has to be happy with the 8.4 IMDb rating.
Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans and a lot of other great actors are showing why they are so lovable.
If we would have to describe the whole movie in one sentence, it would be something like this – if you are in love with drugs, you are going to have the problems that it causes.
The story follows four people and all have their own problems, but there is one that is in common – heroin and other drugs. Requiem for a Dream shows another side of Brooklyn, that many people haven't seen at all. It is more than easy to buy drugs, but it is very difficult to get rid of them and not to use them. In order to get the drug money, Marion Silver played by Jennifer Connelly, needs to have sex with a group of rich men, and that is only one of the situations in the movie.
You will probably remember the “ass to ass” scene in which she is having lesbian sex with another girl, while using a double-ended dildo.
Jared Leto is brilliant as Harry Goldfarb, we have to mention Ellen Burstyn as Sara Goldfarb and Marlon Wayans as Tyrone.
