For some reason, Requiem for a Dream has been on my mind lately. Don't really know why. Maybe cause I like Jared Leto (one of the leading roles, also lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars, my favorite band).
For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, I strongly recommend it. However, I do warn you: it's hard to sit through. And considering I can stomach almost anything in a movie, that says a lot. There isn't a lot of blood and gore or anything in the movie, but it is the story itself that makes the movie difficult to handle, however, the message is one of the most powerful I have seen in a film.
Requiem for a Dream follows four individuals and their desire for fulfilling their dreams. Their lives are all ruined in separate ways due to their addictions to heroin, cocaine and diet pills. I'll be honest. This movie can get pretty graphic, and breaks my heart. But the message in it is so powerful that I definitely think it should be shown to high schoolers or young teenagers before they think of using drugs.
