My thoughts on the movie “Requiem
for a Dream” for the beginning of the movie I thought it was going to be about
this kid selling his mother’s TV for drugs in which he done and then she goes
and buys it back and then he does it all over again. But I was wrong for the
most part of it because all though he did sell his mother’s TV for drug money
the movie wasn’t about him selling the TV at all. This took me by surprise a
little bit. As the movie progressed he and his friend sold and produced drugs
to sell then turned around and bought drugs to shoot up to get their “high”.
But that’s not why I write to you now! I write to you because I want to tell
you my thoughts and what I learned from this movie.
I learned that the more you do the
drug the more you cannot go without it. The more and more you need it the harder
it gets to straighten out from it. Oh and defiantly do not inject yourself in
the same spot or you’ll lose your arm. Or sometimes when you’re strung out and
in need of the drugs and you don’t have money to support your habit you sell
your body for sex to support yourself and your habit. I also learned that often
times when you cannot support your drug habit you get strung out and need
medical help but then you get caught while you’re at the hospital they see all
the needle marks or the one area where you shoot up gets infected and starts
showing effects of the over used vain makes your arm swell and turn a shade of
purple and has this awful smell due to the infection and the only cure for it
is amputation, which is a possibility if you use heroin or any other self-injection
drugs that are considered to be an narcotic.
And speaking of drug doers harries
mother, was high and addicted to uppers which I don’t even know what kind of
drug that was but it made her lose a lot of weight and become schizophrenic and
paranoid about being on television thus throwing her into a crazy fit about
losing weight and fitting into a red dress that she wore to harries graduation,
and now she wants to wear it to look good on the TV show. Which when for months
she didn’t received no notifications about when she’ll be on the show she while
still hyped up on those “uppers pills” she went on the train then she went to
the studio where the show was broadcasted and asked when she’ll be on television
and she gets arrested and then put in the hospital. But when she is in the
hospital the doctors try and help her but she struggles to get out of there and
go on the show, so they put her on electro-shock therapy or ECT. So closer to
end of the movie they show what has become of Harry Goldfarb, Marion silver, Tyrone
C. Love, and Sara Goldfarb harry had gotten his arm cut off due to the
infection in his arm from injecting in the same spot every time. Tyrone was put
in rehab, Marion sold herself for drugs, and Sara Was put in a mental institute.
So my personal views during the
middle of the movie were these people are idiots for doing what they’re doing
to themselves. For one thing doing a little bit of the drug is one thing but
start selling and then processing and then selling and then buying more and
injecting you into a high. Is pure idiocy. Sure I guess if that makes you happy
go ahead and do it stupefy yourself and lower the probability of living longer
and staying healthy well I say go right ahead screw yourself out of a happy
meaningful life.
