Requiem for a Dream (2000)

My Reaction::::::::::::You will be in a shock to see how people will degrade themselves to get things to which they are addicted,,,,this is shown in a more realistic manner.....its not a commercial movie........its life of four drug addicts............SAY NO TO DRUGS,,,,,,,,,

Story::::Requiem for a Dream is a story of hopes and dreams of four ambitious people which are shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control.....the story revolves around a mom and his son and his girlfriend and a boy friend,,,,,mom dreams to appear on tv show,,,,guy looks for easy settlement in life with help of his friend and love.........story moves as how drugs change their lifes ......and shows how miserable it could be when addicted to drugs


Performances of cast and crew:::::::::
Fisrt i would like to mention is the background score (Clint Mansell),,,,,,,its hunting me even after the movie:::::::::::............the lady in the mom character(Ellen Burstyn) stands first,,,,,,,,,next is heroine (Jennifer Connelly)......... you will cry automatically for some scenes where she unwillingly goes to get money.......and drugs..........next hero(Jared Leto) and next the colored guy(Marlon Wayans),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its a book written by Hubert Selby Jr.....he is the screenplay writter too........i think he might have seen some one so closely who are addicted to drugs............director gave life to the characters in the novel..........

Highlights::::::::
Last 20 minutes is heights of reality ,,,you will never feel as you are seeing a movie,,after 10 to 15 minutes you will get involved into movie as you are next to one of the characters in the movie.........all four characters in the movie gave their one of the memorable performances,,,,,,,,,,,,
....the performance of Jennifer moves you in a scene ,,that shows a room full of drug addicts and sex addicts
Trivia:::::::::::The mom character played by Ellen Burstyn has been nominated for oscars but she did not win it..........
