Default Requiem For A Dream

Really fucked me up today.

Probably because I do use drugs (rarely though) and my boyfriend uses them pretty often.

I mean, shit like what happens in the movie has happened to some members of my family so it's not like it's a shocker and I'm naive. It's more of an awakening.

However, the whole time I was watching the damn movie I wanted some uppers! Like... what the fuck is that? I'm honestly fucked up if that's what I want, even when I know it's bad, when I'm watching the shit play out before my very eyes. Is this self-destructive behavior? I don't know. I highly doubt it.

Ugh... well. Since this is the movies and music section of the forum:
The movie is awesome. A little over-dramatic, but it has to be for you to understand the effects of drug-use and it's destructive nature in the long-run. Jared Leto (...is pretty damn attractive in this movie...) did an amazing job acting. Overall, because the movie is pretty disturbing and I generally am not affected by movies, I rate this as fantastic.

I thought the movie was really good as well. And the whole time I wanted to get me some of what they were doing in the movie. I don't do hard drugs all the time but I do have the cravings. If it isn't marijuana or alcohol, then it's hard drugs. Or the combination. It's pretty fucked up

I actually only watch this for the first time a few days ago. I don't do drugs at all, but I grew up with people around me out of their heads on any kind of drugs.

It is a very disturbing movie, especially the way the mothers situation plays outs. Defo worth a watch.

I found the mom's situation to be disturbing too. She was pretty much this sweet old lady who was excited to be on tv. Probably the first thing for her to be happy about in a long time. That alone reminds me of my own grandmother.

This movie is a masterpiece. So simple, yet it has so much depth. This movie got me off of drugs. It is honestly my favorite movie.
