One of the scariest movies that isn't considered a horror film. A lot of people find it disturbing and harrowing, but I was more creeped out by it than anything.
Facts
Very creeped out knowing there are many people going through this very thing
And it's proof that you don't have to kill off any major characters for your movie to be disturbing. There's almost no death in this story, but it's still completely devastating.
I would call this a psychological horror. It messed me up when I watched it. It was my first exposure to drugs.
Just revisited this movie a few days back and damn still a strong movie. I turned younger people onto it and yeah they couldn’t handle it. The score Requiem is amazing.
Watched this when I was 16 on a school night for no reason. I went into my mom's room crying and telling her I loved her and she was so confused 😭
Awwww😂
Awwwwwwwwwwww xD That is kinda cute ngl
Good thing you saw it then. Reminded you of what's important. ❤
😂😂
I saw this movie for the first time at that age too on tv or a streaming site either or this movie was wild
This movie will ruin your day. I will never forget how I felt the day I watched this movie. Its so fucking depressing
I remember too. I was at a bad spot with addiction myself.
Yap, it could also save your life,since you ll always remember it, and it could prevent you from becoming a junkie.
@@Newdisaster I hope you’re doing better now
try being an addict and watching it. Its like watching the worst parts of your life play out in real time. 😢
Ikr. It was just disturbing and extremely off putting.
Jared Leto's character is more likeable than Jared Leto himself
I feel like that’s true of most of Jared Leto’s characters
Ouch! It's facts...it's facts...is it not facts😂
So true on that one. Really didn't like his Joker performance in the first Su*cide Squad.
That’s not hard lol
Ellen Burstyn as Sara Goldfarb in this movie is hands down the BEST acting I have ever seen in my life and it's not even close.
During her "I'm somebody now, Harry" monologue it's like she actually BECOMES Sara.
The ending is so heartbreaking for all of them, especially the very end where Sara is hallucinating herself and Harry reunited on the game show with "I love you, Harry", "I love you, too, ma" and her crying
Yeah, that scene perfectly sums up all she ever wanted throughout the film: for her son to be successful & married with a grandbaby on the way, and to appear on her favorite television show, winning the “grand prize”. The way she smiles to herself before turning into the fetal position is absolutely perfect. But when they tell each other they love each other in the last few seconds of the film, it makes me tear up so much everytime i watch it… even 20 years later. It’s such a powerful way to end the movie.
I also really loved how each main character turned into the fetal position leading up to this scene. Whether they were happy, content, or depressed, they all switch into this position right before it ends.
My friend faked ADHD to get Adderall to lose weight and ended up in a similar state of mind. She's so paranoid that nobody wants to be around her anymore.
@@jackchop1576I assume all attempts to get her help have failed? 🙁
The scene where Sara talks about how hard it is to be old and alone was maybe the most heartbreaking movie scene I've ever seen.
😢😢
😂😂😂😂 🤦♂️🤦♂️
That scene is really heart of the movie to me. It's everything about drugs and addiction and why people end up there that they try to express visually, all put into a monologue and spelled out for you. It's the part everyone can identify with. Most people never experience the desperation of prostitution or the seedy underbelly of heroin culture and drug dealing, but they can understand Sara's dreams and fears, her sadness, and Harry's reaction to it. It's one of those roles where I have to look up that year's Oscar's and see what else was nominated that year to try and understand how Burstyn didn't win.
This Movie along with Kids along with the coming of age Horror Movie Thirteen should be shown to Middle School/High School Kid's to give them a harsh reality check about hanging with the wrong crowds along with the dangers of doing Drug's etc just to fit in with your peers.
Agreed.
Menace 2 Society is another one.
@stevencoffin328 Agreed it's a harsh look at The Hood and living that Gangster Lifestyle which eventually catches up with you
In my school they show us this movie [Requiem for a dream] and it was a reality check.
Children needs to see this and avoid drugs at all (and don't make the excuses about how often the use or the dosis or whatever= drugs are bad. Period).
Agreed. Wish we’d been shown that instead of the corny D.A.R.E program 🙄🥴
The craziest part, to me, is that one of the main characters is the same man we saw pretending to be a baby in Little Man and a white woman in White Chicks. What a great contrast.
The reason i love this movie is cause it greatly depicts the deep spiral countless horrible decision can affect a person's life,most other movies would have the characters fall into their lowest points midway to have a happy ending by the runtimes end but requiem for a dream shows the sad reality that not all people can change and just fall deeper while others who try never end up the same
as someone who's been in a psych ward a few times, sometimes the staff are just like that to elderly patients that dont have hope for the future (someone were abandoned by their own children in there), they berate them and stuff because half the time the patients dont even understand whats going on (schizophrenic/dementia/alzhaimers etc) and its really sad to see that most of them are just stuck there until they die
Hey Amirah as someone pursuing a medical career, I am sorry you experienced that. I am currently a Volunteer Firefighter and I strive to treat my patients the best
Are you Filipino ?
I truly hope and pray more people with kind hearts go into the medical field. My dad has dementia and I’ve taken the role of being his caregiver to keep him out of any home.
It’s so freaking hard and I only have to deal with one person, my own father, so I can see how it can get incredibly stressful when you’re taking care of multiple people.
Omg…first time I saw Requiem For A Dream I knew literally nothing but the title, and it broke my soul. I love this movie, and I will never watch it again
Exactly! This movie is amazing... and devastating... and I don't think I could ever watch it again.
I've seen it many times.
The first time was bone chilling but a few years and some awful life events later I found it to be uplifting because Selby and Aronofsky so compassionately reflect the suffering of so many real people ignored by the madding crowd.
It’s a film you should watch once a decade..
@@charoleawoodyou must have gluttony for punishment
@@HeliodromusScorpio
I prefer feeling something over feeling nothing.
Other movies make me feel nothing or, worse, they are flippant about the suffering in the world all to make wealthy consumers feel good about themselves.
I get sick to my stomach because these consumers have the power to change the world but they choose not to take any responsibility.
For over a decade now Marvel has been there to make consumers feel good about themselves and I can't stand what that's done to filmmaking.
Also, Requiem is just too well made not to love, it's life giving from that aspect alone.
What's most disturbing to me is how society pushes some people to make these terrible choices and then punishes them instead of offering any help
I remember the first time I saw a part of this movie, it was a high-school party and I was coming downstairs just in time to hear "Ass to Ass!" It was wild.
I thought it was "Ass to Mouth!" 😅
Dude that’s the scene that fucked me up.
This exact thing happened to my bff! That is uncanny. And that scene scarred me for yearssss.
@@blackanimedude4095 I believe that's Clerks 2. Rosario Dawson argues with a guy if it's cool to go ass to mouth.
😂😂😂😂 every time I think of this movie that’s all I hear
This movie was 10x more effective than D.A.R.E. ever was
The final scene with Marlin rolling over to his side in bed, in prison is heart breaking and makes this movie very disturbing ... thanks for reminding me about this one Spooky!
Man I spent the last decade as a severe addict and I can tell you Requiem is hard to watch given how it feels, especially withdrawals. The worst part is trying to break back into society, I've found it impossible to get a job and I'm still dealing with the long term withdrawals despite being clean. If you know anyone that used to be an addict give them a text or a call, I'm sure they'll appreciate it; it's a lonely path.
congratulations for being clean
Are you doing ok?? I'm getting clean off opiates and I'm lonely as hell man. So hard to not relapse just to feel something
Greatly appreciated
@@larae6885How long you been clean? Kratom helped me stay away from other drugs, especially opiates but I only used it for harm reduction. Obviously in it's self it's very addictive, but was useful. Some days are darker than others, I got a job but it's real tough work and as you probably know you're real sensitive to pain coming off opiates. Hope you stay clean though, the little moments of peace and quiet are what it's all about.
I feel compelled to check in with you both. I’ve been where you are a few times in my life. I hope you are both well in health and mind. ❤
6:58 fun fact, the prison guard is actually played by the author of the book. Speaking of the book, has anyone here actually read it? I'm very curious to know how it compares to the film.
YES I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK very good it’s a pretty straight adaptation focusing a little more on the past of Harry and his mother a little bit but this movie definitely really did the book justice Im just now starting another book by the same author last exit to Brooklyn so ! Keep in mind I never read so
I've read the book many times, it's great, and here's something cool about it: You can read it two ways! The first way is normal front to back style. The second way is reading each character's plot line individually. The book is written in these block paragraphs, each of which is devoted to one of the 4 characters (or their POV). They switch around between characters a little abruptly. I recommend reading it both ways. The normal way is a classic, but there's something about the characters in isolation that feels starker, it's interesting. Happy reading!
The Last Train To Brooklyn is really...... something. Disturbing is more so the word. @@adelle345
I started it once and stopped for some reason, but I think I'm inspired to pick it up again. I can never remember if it was Requiem or Trainspotting where I tried to read it but the writing style was hard to follow, I've picked up both and never got too far.
Man this movie touched a nerve in me that I doubt any other movie can. I’ve struggled with weight loss my whole life and the mother’s story gave me a body chilling anxiety I’ve never felt before.
I will show this film to my children when they are old enough. An important classic.
Also add KIDS and Thirteen to that list
I understand recommendations, but watching these movies with your kids? yeah I'm sure that wouldn't be awkward at all . . .
I recently rewatched this movie it’s definitely a masterpiece on drugs and addiction and what can happen to a person
@@personanonmaga5178it’s not awkward at all when I got old enough my parents made it clear any question I have they will answer
If any film will put you off drugs, this is it!
It's crazy how over the last 4-5 years u can hear this man's voice deepening, weird to hear how fast these years changed people
One of my favorite films of all time. So sad, so depressing, but so important. So glad to see it finally covered on this series.
this movie made me cry like a baby cause sara reminded me so much of my own late mother
My most disturbing moment was him losing that ARM. Then yeah, the mom being committed.
BTW, really good analysis, I never knew the bit about what Requiem was.
I understand that you have to take a break after this one. The only scene I saw when I visited my aunt who happened to have a random movie on was the or*y with no other context, and it was sickening. I read TV Tropes and other summaries about the movie because I couldn’t bear to see that scene and its other depressing elements again. This movie is great at the message of wanting something so much but being misguided or bad decisions derail achievement.
The score for this film particularly Requiem by Has Zimmer lives rent free in my head, definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I think I was 14yo the first time I watched this, 14 years later it's still one of the most impactful films I've ever seen.
Clint Mansell is the composer, not Zimmer
@@charoleawood oh shit thanks for correcting me! I got lux aeterna mixed up with Zimmers arrangement based on it titled requiem for a tower because it was listening to it earlier today. Both pieces are beautiful but mansels lux aeterna has a notably more haunting vibe to it.
Darren Aronofsky is a filmmaker who focus on pain, struggle and addiction in many forms and that is why Requiem for a Dream is one of his best works and also the most tragedy due to how real it is(yes the addiction parts where exaggerated) but the effects it can have on people is very real and I saw this at a friends house when I was in high school and it shows you the dark side of the world and how people can not care about others during their hour of need and the only type of solace they could find is in their dreams with good memories or hopes.
I'm glad that you covered this film and I understand that you want to take a break for this film has that effect on people.
It's all about the delusions people hold onto, the thing they think will make them happy, and the ways they destroy the good things they have in pursuit of the delusion.
Deep.
I've only watched this when I was 15 and haven't watched it since because of how depressing it was.
It's one of my favorites
same lol, its a brilliant movie but i dont ever want to see it again, this review was triggering enough
@@blAckg0D I just cannot bring myself to re watch that film.
The way it can connect and relate to your experiences of suffering, helplessness and despair, while at the same time making you feel entirely powerless in front of a disturbing, torturing situation, in a constant, extremely bad degradation that leads to a completely hopeless state of living.
The mother is my most striking character, Ellen Burstyn acting is legendary, this archetype is the realest, the most relatable of them all and the one that will absolutely destroy you during the movie. Some of these scenes will stay with you for a long long time.
One of my favorite films of all time. I saw this for the first time when I was 15 at Boy Scout camp. It represented everyone I had ever known through my life growing up around Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and it felt like home. It depresses most people, but for me this is just a movie about people who are my friends
goddamn life must b tough if this is a fav this movie is bleak like henry:portrait of a serial killer. makes u feel as if its no hope
omg pls do The Happiness of the Katakuris 👉🏽👈🏽
The one thing that always bugged me in this movie is how much Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly look like brother and sister.
I was waiting on you to cover this one. I've only seen it once in my life and I'm resolved to never watch it again. I'm a connoiseur of really messed up stuff in movies, literature, comics, TV, etc., but this one is too disturbing and depressing even for me.
No way!!! I think I suggested this one a year ago or so. It's really bleak, definitely one of those movies I don't want to watch again. Thanks for covering this spooky!
One of very few films that makes me cry, i accidentally saw it when i was about 13 and that soundtrack is used EVERYWHERE and it's genuinely "triggering" and thats not a word i throw around easily.
Loads of people i know said it was a really good film and i like other Aronofsky films so age 25 thought i should try it again now I'll understand whats happening.
It was even worse understanding, and by that point i then knew people that this film reflects.
It's an ordeal to watch/hear, actually an assault on the senses.
This was my childhood best friend's favorite movie, she showed it to me and it was more than enough to make sure I never found myself in any of these situations. The scariest thing sometimes can be reality.
Been waiting on this one. It’s literally on EVERY iceberg I’ve seen. I’m sooo glad you’re still doing these break downs.
Fun facts.
The word "Heroin" is never mentioned in the movie.
Aronofsky had Leto and Wyans stay away from sex and sugar during the shooting so they can feel some withdrawal.
That 10 seconds "speed cleaning scene" with Sarah, took more than 40 minutes to shoot. They shot it 3 times.
During Burstyn's "I'm Old" monologue, the Cinematographer teared up and slightly moved the camera. Aronofsky saw that but actually used the shot in the final cut.
FINALLY!!! I have been requesting this since day one! My all time favorite! I’m so happy you’re doing this! 😊
thanks for covering this one spooky, it's a movie I've always heard about but have never seen myself and I honestly don't think I could. just watching the breakdown almost made me cry while thinking about the mom's scenes!
Thank you for continuing to post! I love seeing your videos on my feed, even if they're disturbing
I waited so long for you to cover this film. It's one of my favorites.
You just keep outdoing yourself Spooky! I love your work and your voice can sell anything. Keep up the great videos and hope you’re doing well!
Wow, I can't believe you just upload this video I got done watching it last night, this is AMAZING and a eye-opening movies
I was hooked the whole time
Idk whenever I watch your videos I kinda feel peaceful and forget being depressed at some point. I really enjoyed it!
I've been waiting for you to do this movie
Spooky continuing to be a good, wholesome lad in the face of ALL THIS SHIT.
This movie makes me cry every single time I watch it. It hurts to see so many people suffer the way that they do. :/
LETS GO, I had to look up Salo and Serbian to try to find you and scroll and scroll, YOURE STILL POSTING!!!!
I've been looking forward to this one, thanks Spooky! You should check out High Tension sometime, that one is wild
After 2 years of asking you finally made video about this finally movie thx
Yes!!! I'm so glad you finally did this movie it's one of my favorites!
Here since 10k and i saw you grow!!
I had such a bad day, Thank you SpookyRice for coming through with an upload.
Side note, I remember when I first seen this movie and it gave me a headache. I never watched it again since, I'm super glad that it's been added to the disturbing breakdown list.
missed u spooky! thanks for the videos
Yoooooooo the algorithm hadn't given me a spookyrice video in ages, so I check the channel and I see Requiem?! Nice! Love this movie. Definitely got me NOT making weed a gateway drug. That ending... no one wants to end up like that.
I lost a family member to heroin/opioid addiction. One thing that was messed up about it was so many folks in our family were textbook alcoholics but would judge him for being a junkie.
yay! you covered my favorite movie!! thanks for the great content!
The summation on this video was fantastic, you really hit home why this film is so god damn depressing.
this year has been complete shit but the fact you made a video of this movie finally put a huge smile on my face :’) finally something good
A move you watch once and never again. Phenomenal film, but painfully heart wrenching.
this movie drew me in and entranced me. i felt like i was experiencing everything with the characters. had to pause it frequently to ground myself to reality again bc my heart was absolutely pounding on the last part of the movie. seeing everyone just spiraling to their fates made me feel awful! best movie that i’ll never see again. definitely watch with caution, if youre in a not-so-good place mentally.
Do watch it again.
This messed me up for about a week as a teen. And it has since inspired many writers and directors. As for pieces Grand Sensei Rice has shown us, the Soska Sisters reference it multiple times in American Mary. A great film in its own right, and like most Canadian males, I have a crush on Catherine Isabelle. Give the video and the film a watch. Thanks to spooky as always fit delivering the morbid and mad. Love your work man.❤
I’ve had the chance to work in hospitals with those who are battling addiction. I remember one patient who was a PILOT, very successful, bright, charming and started taking pills after a back injury. He lost everything.
I watched this without looking into it just cause it was famous. As a recovered bulimic, watching the moms battle with her addiction and dysmorphia in such a heartwrenching way disturbed me more than anything else.
This is actually one of the films ive been constantly thinking about yet have pushed it since I havent seen it yet. I've heard how depressing it gets and im kinda unsettled to see it since i dont wanna feel depressed, maybe i might see it this week depending.
(Update: finally watched today on March and it was so fucked up. I remained shocked and cried at the end, none of the four deserved what they got in the end. Definetly a one time watch)
It's one of those see-it-only-once films. The first and last time I saw it was in 2003. I still remember it, too.
You probably won’t see this comment but after watching this video, it was my final wake up call to stop hitting carts with my friends. I feel like I turned into the person my younger self would despise, and I feel I failed my parents. I’m glad this video came up on my recommended.
rfad turned my head upside down and squeezed it out like a sponge. Felt so sad and empty at the end, but at least I could decompress and go back to normal, unlike the real life equivalents of these characters. It's easy to have compassion, pity for people trapped in self-destructive cycles, but this movie gave me empathy, like, you can't not feel what they're going through.
i just watched this movie the other day. i’m a recovering addict, 10 months clean. i have never seen a movie depict addiction accurately except for this one.
i’ve been waiting for this one
This is one of those movies that makes me sick. It's the grungieness of the drug use, and the hopelessness embodied in the title of the film. The end for Marion has haunted me for 15 years.
This movie reminded me to hold my family and friends a lot closer to me. Life can be so bleak, and we need to surround ourselves with the people we love and love us.
Niiice u brought the signature gohan sound back
Too chicken to watch yet the entire thing yet, so thank you SpookyRice!
Such a depressing movie. One of my favourite movies though. There’s something oddly comforting about it.
Depressing flick, but my parents always joked (darkly) it's one of those films you gotta watch once when you're young as almost a warning of how bad things can get if you're not careful. Crazy how bad things can spiral. Great acting all around though.
i only needed to see this movie one time.
i still remember everything.
that is a testament to how good it is.
Same. I can't watch it again. Even though I love Jennifer Connelly.
I'm so glad you did this, Spooky!! Despite how fucking depressing & bleak this movie is, it's one of my faves. The acting is A1, story is solid & the camera angles keep you hooked.
Another w vid wish CZcams would recommend ur vids to me more much love❤🔥
I love this film but I always refer to it as "the best movie you'll only watch once". It's so, so, so good but even when you know how it ends and it can't surprise you, it's soul-hurting.
BTW anyone else got any masochistic "you'll only watch them once but damn they're good" films? I can recommend Speak No Evil, The Nightingale, A Serbian Film, A Scanner Darkly, Funny Games, and Any Day Now.
I saw the ending of this movie on CZcams. And I was so scared, I was in shock and horror. But it’s not like some monster that isn’t real. This is something ACTUAL people go through.
For some weird reason, I always confuse this movie with "Trainspotting" (1996), and I should know which is which, because this film doesn't have the infamous dead baby nightmare scene.
Accidentally saw that horrific part while channel surfing when I was about 9 or 10 at my grandparents' place, still creeps me out even to this day.
This is the best unintentional Anti-Drug PSA
My dad showed me this movie a couple of months ago and as depressing as it was I loved it and ended up getting the book! It's so raw and full of emotion and it can happen to anybody
🎉 You finally got round to this movie.... I remember people requesting this since I subbed, 5 years ago lol.
Now Primms Hood Cinema needs to do one 🎬 Love you two's recaps Horror & Hood films💐💝
I'd heard of how depressing this movie was, and I just thought I'd watch it eventually, but just from your explanation of it, and hearing the theme song in my head as you spoke, I... Don't really want to watch it anymore. That was pure misery, good lord x.x
Watch it at least once…
Man this got me, my brother is a recovered addict. He's a bit older than me, I remember seeing the sunken in face, the constant lies and thievery, I remember going to a house with guns and drugs and prostitutes at 14yrs old, Cops always showing up, and constantly me and my family were on edge around him. He was in and out of rehab and relapsed multiple times. I thank God has been sober for 15 years. A manager at a warehouse, wife and kids, a nice home, and he started hitting the gym and is doing great!
I watched this movie when I was a kid and did not understand much, but I remember being so scared and sad for the mom :(, and at the end when they amputate Jared's arm, I think I saw it again when I was a teenager and got it better, but wouldn't watch it again... too depressing
This was such a great movie.. similar movie recommendations with such great storytelling and direction will be most welcome...brother.
one of those movies you watch once and never wanna see again
I legit just watched this tonight, I couldn't remember if you had already covered it or not
Dang, often seeing Marlon Wayans in Scary Movie series and dance flick, his serious acting is great too!
This is one of the earliest purchases of my DVD collection. One of those films I can watch once every 10 years, so it's soon coming up to my next watch. A depressing classic.
I watched this movie for the first time two days ago. It still hasn’t fully sunken in yet. It just wears away at you even after the film is over. I couldn’t even get myself hyped about the reference to Perfect Blue, and I’m usually able to get myself hyped up when a movie references an anime that I know about.
This most disturbing part of this film was the mother. Living in that crappy apartment alone. Loneliness is one of the worst things for someone at the tail end of their lives to endure. When you’re young you still know you’ll meet someone and plenty of time… but ending up alone in your senior years , a widow, and a dysfunctional or indifferent family who never visit is nightmarish.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies, i really do love it and all its depth.
I’ve only seen this movie once but I will never forget it.
Incredible film. Everything about it is so well done. Especially the acting. But it's not one that I'd watch again. I've seen it twice and that was more than enough. Odd how that happens. Even though a movie is technically very good, there's still no urge to ever see it again.
Love you videos dude
Seeing 4 different people of their stories, it shows on what happens when you do drugs. There's no end at all unless you have the will power to stop. I mean really.
