[@RippedfromVHS]

Saw Requiem For A Dream when it first played in theaters in 2000. Knowing little about it prior to buying the ticket, I did not expect it to as depressing, sad, and intense as it was. It was also one of best films I'd ever seen. I still remember this music playing in the final moments of the movie and when the credits rolled, nobody left and a few people were wiping away tears. What an experience.

I’m 6 years clean off heroin. I saw the movie when I was 19, started using at 24, i never thought I’d live that movie. Then again, no one grows up thinking they’ll end up that way. This song is so haunting I get physically ill when I hear it but still love it. It’s a literal requiem to my old life. Huh. I never thought of it like that till now.

Sara: I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old.

[@HeiressOfShadows]

this song is the personification of the beautiful horror of depression, it's slow and leading at first trapping you in it's all encompassing grip and dragging you down into it's den where it weakens you and toys with you till you are at your breaking point then it will allow you to try to run back up to the lights and just before you make it back to normality your dragged back into its embrace and pulling you back down again, its like a sadistic serpent...

[@jacksonhansen20]

Actually, it's not. Depression is an affliction of woe-is-me, whereas music is one of the few inventions of humanity free of such trivial sentiments such as "MeNTAl DISOrdERS". Music is pure, because you don't get to define it. It just is. Aside from which, the mastery of resonance/harmony is so profound in this composition that attempting to attribute meaning to it with words would be doing a tremendous disservice to these artists and their craft. Keep your descriptions to yourself, lest you ruin the experience for everyone else.

I was like 16 watching this with my girlfriend and we were both speechless and sad at the end of this movie. Just sat and watched the credits. We didn't really know what to do..we just sat there reading the credits. It wasn't a sadness.. it certainly wasn't a happiness.. it was a cruel clarity or something. But, we hugged a lot more the next few days. And that's the only movie that's ever done that to me.

[@autumnrosalie1167]

I watched requiem for a dream deep into my heroin addiction. If you think for one second that that's never how you're gonna turn out, you'd be oh so wrong. It takes every last thing that you have. It's not the physical possessions that matter... It takes your very soul and breaks you down to crumbles of who you used to be. I'm sober 5 years. I guess only the strong survive, but the wake of its past is immeasurable. Rest in peace to those who lost the fight, and loved ones who watched them die. It's not the end. Amen.

A sustainable calm at the beginning through the pain but when the storm comes it brings an unanticipated even unadulterated amount of destruction, chaos and carnage. Painful but real life sometimes...

[@alex_harnar_618]

It’s such an Astonishing, Powerful, Emotional, Heartbreaking feeling when a movie like ‘Requiem For A Dream’ (2000) can make you bawl your eyes out, and make you think this deep. From the editing, sound effects, acting & special effects...this film brings the effects and aftermath of drug abuse and addiction right into our eyes, since we can’t truly understand how terrible it is unless we are shown in a way like this. It’s a mistake most of us keep making since once we do it once we can’t stop. Nuff Said.
