I really liked the director's cinematography in that one, especially the cut scenes where they did cocaine. When I watched Pi I was like, those scenes look awfully familiar, then I found out the same director did both. It's not often you see directors with such distinct styles like that.

only the director's cut has that.

Which scene are we talking about here? I didn't see any scene that I thought was particularly horrible, unless we're talking about the scene w/ his arm. I didn't think that scene was troubling really.

About the arm, i don't quite get it, what was wrong with it? Did he get some flesh eating infection through needle use?

Did you watch the whole movie?!?! :Q It's right at the end, they cut his arm off! Blood sprayed on his face! His arm got gangrene or something from an infected needle.

I found Jennifer Connelly too "innocent" for that movie but perhaps that was what the director intended to portray..

Requiem is one of the most powerful movies you'll find. I just sat staring at the TV for awhile afterwards and decided I needed to own it.

The DVD menu system system is my favorite too.

Be excited, be, be excited!

I have never actually thought about doing drugs before watching this movie, just wanted to see Jennifer Connelly, but boy did I get more than what i bargained for.
This is movie is definately the most powerful anti-drug medium out there, because it just smacks the cold hard facts in your face. And the truth always hurts. Unfortunately the movie rating agency is stupid enough to give it a NC-17 rating, limiting its potential impact.
Now I'm going to force all my friends to watch it.

mmhmm

i can't even imagine how good it must feel if people screw up their lives like that for it.

It doesn't "feel that good," it's a friggen addiction meaning your body ends up needing it or you get really sick withdrawal symptoms. If you watch it it does show one of them in withdrawal, doesn't it? It's in the end when Shawn or Marlon Waynes is in prison. He goes through withdrawals which really sucks, big time.

I have the DVD, but still haven't watched it yet. Is this a movie you watch with a girl or guy roommates, or is it a movie you want to watch by yourself?

It's not porn (well, maybe that section at the end, if you have the director's cut). Watch it with whoever you think has the stomach for it. I don't watch movies by myself, half the fun is watching it with other people.

yah but if you do something and then get really sick from it even if you have the "more" craving you don't want to do it cuz you know how sick you get.

i've heard first hand accounts of herion use and while most of it scares the crap out of me because of statements like ".. its like dying and being in heaven" and when i ask if i can try they tell me that they will never tell me where to get it because "its so good that the worst part is that even if you could stop, you don't want to"

i know im not actually going to try it because i know that nobody will let me and i know that its the absolute stupidest thing ive ever wanted to do but i am just so curious to see what is so good about it.
