"Requiem for a Dream" is one of few films which keep a strong influence on spectator’s psyche for a long time. Appalling picture and authentic situation with which we are familiar will last in our minds for long. It’s because drugs don’t make us happy. They only point out our position in society and adapt us to the others, since… we want to be just like others.
Who’s not acquainted with the theme of drugs, violence, rape and even pharmacomania these days? We aren’t even aware of with whom and were we are, striving to persuade ourselves that we live in a perfect world, deprived of any drawbacks. This is exactly how the friends from Brooklyn try to trick themselves. The film present growing panic accompanying dramatic fight for survival.
