Requiem for dream A tough film about the lives of lost people, about the world of drugs and the absurd, without thinking about the past and without looking into the future. Those who live only in the present, without thinking about anything or regretting anything.
Screen action from the first minutes already demonstrates pronounced aggression, and then this theme itself will permeate the vivid spectacle, finding a place in every detail and in every secluded corner. The story is not about finding pleasure, but in a simple story of life, where someone goes crazy, someone dies himself, someone is killed under different circumstances, and we live here and now. You have to be happy with what you have.
All his vitality boils down to a string of events in which the main characters take part, but despite the seemingly brightness of each character, they do not feel something truly alive and soulful. Heroes cause no sympathy, no dislike, nothing. Everything is too heartless and spineless, without the goal of revealing each image, only with a story about human fate. And with this approach, a clear goal of the whole action does not surface. Tell me a story about drug addicts and prosecutors? Without a pronounced raising of any problem, except the banal harm of psychotropic drugs and similar substances, the film is a rather empty action of a bright theater.
He clearly takes the visual due to visual images of hallucinations, a variety of cruelty and expressiveness of appearance and outfits. Narcotics carnival, capable of appearing a worthy spectacle, is accompanied by quite elements of thrashing in the spirit of a boy demonstrating advertising this way of life directly into the camera, with active gestures, taking away from the film all its seriousness and turning into a thoughtless entertainment spectacle, where arrows pierce the rich man by the pool, dogs eat a human crucified body, and a madman sees sexy beauties instead of orderlies.
And besides the rich juicy visual to find something else here is extremely problematic, dull and unwritten characters that do not really have any role or meaning, musical numbers, like a clip of a group and the fun of every day, with all the seemingly depressing depression and dirt of what is happening.
Such a movie tells and shows the existence of such a stratum of society, which is never allowed to forget the cult “on a needle” or “requiem for a dream”, and first of all, such a movie should be understood by young people, maybe they will find close heroes and similar familiar types there, and maybe such a movie rich in cruelty and hopelessness will save a certain number of lives from falling into the bottomless abyss of drug addiction.
