The Best Anti Drug Film Ever Made

                                                                                         

Drugs have always been part of pop culture, and they even serve as the focal point of many movies. Some flicks joke about drug use, while others feature a small scene in which a character dabbles in illegal substances. But Requiem For A Dream shows the hopes and dreams of four ambitious people were shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control.

Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 film adaptation of a 1978 novel of the same name. Based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr., this movie was granted the MPAAs NC-17 "kiss of death" for its uncompromising portrayal of the depths to which some people will sink to get their fix. The film adaptation was directedby Darren Aronofsky, and starred Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans. Burstyn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.

This film pulls no punches when it comes to the subject of drug abuse. No onelikes feeling disturbed or shattered by a film, a work of art, a piece of music,but I feel experiencing these emotions and being asked to think is important
now and then.

It's the story of four junkies in New York City and their simultaneous downfall.Harry (Jared Leto) and Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are a couple of small timejunkies who get an idea to become dealers themselves. Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is Harry's girl, who slowly gets hooked on their product. Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) is Harry's mother who gets a call telling her she's won a contest and will appear on television. She becomes obsessed with
losing weight to fit into an old red dress and becomes hooked on diet pills.


This is a film that will not only make you think but it might even give
you night sweets. This is not a film for the weak of mind or soul. I
think that with all of the anti-drug programs and literature out there,
watching this film should be a requirement because it is the best
anti-drug movie that I have ever seen.
