Film review: Requiem for your dream or dream for your requiem?

Requiem for your dream or dream for your requiem?

 Addictions are the worst decided way to be content and spiritually happy. They have chosen this from amounts of mistakes. Something did fall apart and it will lead to more and more mournful moments of life.

The title, Requiem for a dream is especially fascinating by the deep meaning bracket of it. Here, we can think of 3 or 4 things. The requiem refers to a situation or situations where the death, the melancholic effects, sharp-edged eye contacts can meet. Dream is related to an inner position, where the consciousness is an existed creature.  The mixture of these two leads to a difficult and harshly determine of drugs, addictions, and a false, imaginative picture of happiness. In addition, this movie won’t be boring at all, if we’ve just checked the difficulty of the title.  The message and the representation of the movie is more than lifelike.

This movie is directed by Darren Aronofsky in the year of 2000. His works are really famous for unbelievably plain stories of simple persons daily habits, like here this well based assumption can passed here again.  The story contains 3 main characters, or even 4. There is a mother, who has been living alone since the death of her husband and the moving of her son. She has been feeling alone, while she is watching television programs all day long and her aims are just increasingly reach that startling point that she needs to be as fit as she can put on her red dress from the age of she was married at first. And her son is extremely addicted by drugs and her lover is also in the same situation. Their struggle for drugs plays a huge role in the story. These dreams are distorted and they won’t be successfully achieved.

The struggles and battles can be seen on the faces of the actors. Darren Aronofsky playfully uses the setting of camera. In a lot of scenes the extreme close up is the most appearing one if we talk abput the shots. Living with the words of Aronofsky: I’ve just finished a shot-by-shot analysis of Hitchcocks The Birds at the Virgina Film Festival. Consequently, he does the same, in his creations some features are really detailed but some are just deleted. The importance is to plunge into a subjective state and then yanked back to objectivity with a splash of cold reality.

I recommend this movie for everyone who is fond of really shocking moments of mankind and who wants to feel really close to the thinking of each character and have a better chance to put this objective observation into the reality.
