[mute]

any of you seen it?
i don't understand it, it's completely zcrewed...
if you've seen it, do you understand what it's trying to say in the movie.. the point? or is there one...

to me, it goes under the movie section : DON'T DO DRUGS!

We rented that today. Haven't watched it yet.... I think I'll go pop it in and let you know what I get out of it.

Your right I dont think it has a point other than how drugs can do such damage.......

i knida get the point now, in my own way i guess, it's in the name

requiem:
requiem \Re"qui*em\ (r?"kw?-?m;277), n. [Acc. of L. requies rest, the first words of the Mass being ``Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,'' give eternal rest to them, O lord; pref. re- re + quies quiet. See Quiet, n., and cf. Requin.] 1. (R.C.Ch.) A mass said or sung for the repose of a departed soul.

We should profane the service of the dead To sing a requiem and such rest to her As to peace-parted souls. --Shak.

2. Any grand musical composition, performed in honor of a deceased person.

3. Rest; quiet; peace. [Obs.]

Else had I an eternal requiem kept, And in the arms of peace forever slept. --Sandys.


it's a "requiem" for a dream.. in the movie they have dreams, but as you can see in the end, it's complete shit... because of drugs..

to sum it up, it is about how drugs can do so much damage to your life, and dreams...

the word requiem explains everything i think...

remember the musical composition for the characters in the end?

and i still can't figure out how those diet pills made that old lady so TAPPED...?
