Requiem for a Dream-Director's Cut —

This is one of the first movies that got me interested in independent films. It has Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly, Jared Leto and Marlon Wayans in it. This movie is about these friends (Connelly, Leto and Wayans) who have their visions of what the want for their lives. So, they sell drugs to try and make the money they want, and end up getting mixed up in doing the drugs instead of selling them. With their addiction getting worse, Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) Harry's (Jared Leto) mother, who is a widowed lonely woman, ends up getting addicted to weight loss pills. She dreams of her husband, son and her all being together again.
Even with all these downfalls, they all keep on doing the same things and it ends in tragedy.

This movie is emotional and it definetly makes you think. Some people wouldn't dare watch this movie a second time, but it is still very good work. I own this movie and would recommend any one of my friends that hasn't watched it, to do so. You should only watch if you have an open mind, or more than likely you won't like it. For mature audiences only.

I agree this is a powerful movie that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll. Good job on the review.

Well, I saw a few independent films but only remember a couple that were decent. Of course the studio offerings aren't much better. That's for sure. :>
