Requiem For A Dream
Requiem For A Dream (2000) In life there are many choices, like any choice you make in life there is always the up or downside to it. For example if you buy a lottery ticket the up side you may win, the down side you may waste a lot of money. If you do drugs the downside you may lose everything you have including your life to get more drugs. Requiem for a Dream is a dark but straight to the point film about drug addiction and how drugs will change your life and make you do thing to keep getting more. It tells parallel stories that are linked together. One is Harry (Jared Leto) who doesn't have a job but has a place; all he does is get high with his best friend Tyrone C. Love (Marlon Wayans). But it is getting hard for them to get …show more content…
And I have to say this is one of the darkest yet most powerfully film I have seen so far this year. This is the type of film that after you see it you will never forget it. This film should be play to high school kids to show them what happens when they do drugs. The story was so hard hitting the way Darren shows it and the way the cast acted they all should be hailed in the movie business. The dept they put them self to play the character is remarkable. They way Darren shows the screen to screen one screen you see Harry and Marion are talk to each other in bed and it is Split screen. The way the drug scenes are shown is a fast paced way, for example, how they prep it from melting to shoot up and how their eyes look afterwards. Also, he shows us how people who are hooked on drugs will do anything they can to get their next fix, no matter what it does to them. Overall, Requiem for a Dream is a movie not one to miss but not for the faint of heart. But it need to be watch at to show if you are heading down the road with drugs you life could end life the people in this movie go see it and getting ready for filmmaking at it best.

    How To Write A Criminological Analysis Of The Movie Traffic

    In the film, Traffic directed by Steven Soderbergh, released on January 05, 2001, four stories are intertwined around the central issue of the war on drugs going on between the United States and Mexico. This film stars many Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated actors and actresses which include but are not limited to, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Cetherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman, Erika Christensen, among others. I felt sad, yet interested about the topic of the film, as while it was very disheartening to see so many people die as a result of the war on drugs, it was still interesting to find out how all the stories in the film were connected. The causes of crime were direct results of the drug trade going on in Mexico and California.…

    The Hunt Movie Analysis

    All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.…

    Reefer Madness In The 1930's

    All I can say about this movie is, wow. It seriously made me laugh because the way they portrayed “potheads.” I realize that the 1930’s were very different from now and even my teenage years, but that movie was utterly ridiculous. I honestly am not sure what those people were smoking, but I cannot believe it was marijuana. I realize that it does make people laugh but not hysterically like that. It also, does make some people want to be more sexual and even some paranoid. I will say the only thing that it had spot on in my opinion is that they were trying to get kids hooked on it. That seems like the norm for dealers. They love to prey on the young and naive.…

    The Departed

    While not as talked about as the Italian mafia, the Irish Mob is just as violent and proficient in their ways. Taking place in South Boston, the departed depicts a fictitious, but only just, account of the struggle between the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish Mob. Leonardo Dicaprio’s character Billy Costigan is a new member of the MSP and is chosen to become an undercover officer because of his background. Costigan’s father was from South Boston, and Costigan spent time there as a child. He infiltrates the Irish Mob, headed by Jack Nicholson’s character Frank Costello. Frank is the violent head of the Irish Mob that seems to never really be convicted of his crimes. We later come to find out that is in part because of his status as an FBI informant. Costello has an informant in the MSP by way of Matt Damon’s character Colin Sullivan. Sullivan grew up in Costello’s neighborhood and Costello was almost a father figure to him. With his loyalty to Costello, Sullivan was convinced to join the MSP and feed information to Costello. As the movie progresses, both Sullivan and Costigan find out about each other as “rats”, but not necessarily each other’s identities until towards the end. Sullivan upon finding out who Costigan is, erases his file after the death of Captain Queenan at the hands of the Irish Mob and the dismissal of Sargent Dignam. In the end Barrigan, another one if Costello’s men on the inside, shoots Costigan and Sullivan’s partner, Trooper Brown. Sullivan then shoots Barrigan and is later shot in his apartment by Dignam. The camera pans up and shows a rat crawling across the balcony in view of the capital building in Boston.…

    How Did the Internet Affect My Privacy

    ‘The pursuit of happiness’ tell us the story of a father and his son after a failed investment, the father that plays on the movie was actor, is Will Smith loses everything his wife, his house, and his money. The only thing that helps the man keep on living is his son. The whole movie describes the bad days of his life when he had no money, no place to live, not even a place to sleep; the father and son had to sleep in a public rest room. I really like the way the main character protects his son, the way he fights against fate and the way he tries to attain the life he once had. Thanks to the directors that make these types of movies and show so much passion and drama on movies like ‘the pursuit of happiness’. Will Smith is famous for action films but this time, he shows the audience a new appearance.…
