Writer/Director #DarrenAronofsky described this film as exploring different types of addiction: "The Harry-Tyrone-Marion story is a very traditional heroin story. But putting it side by side with the Sara story, we suddenly say, 'Oh, my God, what is a drug?' The idea that the same inner monologue goes through a person's head when they're trying to quit drugs and cigarettes, as when they're trying to not eat food so they can lose twenty pounds, was really fascinating to me."

The way he nonchalantly grabs the picture of two of them together to scribble the number of the guy who'll sleep with his girlfriend for drugs. Is heartbreaking.

[@kimmyfreak200]

but then he has agonizing nightmarish visions of them doing it in the elevator... drug addiction really does mess with who u are and they were really in love too.. sober him would NEVER share his girlfriend.. the withdrawal and itch for the fix is like no longer when it comes to H.. talk about the devil's tears... liquid demons straight into the vein..

[@gobbleswells2883]

Well, like Marion said, "I FCKD that sleeze bag for you!!". Marion was very complicit of everything that happened, yet she eventually revealing during their "low" period that she had prior relations w her Therapist for whatever reason and had no problem doing so..

It's this type of acting that makes us appreciate how great actors can elevate a scene to the next level.

[@hanksaskitzo178]

Such an accurate statement

It's the directijg really, he cut through a lot of the repetitive nonsense in the script.

That when he flip over their picture for writing down is an effective addition. It was metaphocal at some point.

[@daneallemand3428]

Marion’s rage is so strong it could kill. But it stems from fear because she’s absolutely terrified. The fear and desperation when you’re out of drugs is so overwhelming and they hit the nail on the head perfectly. Especially when she’s ripping the apartment apart, searching for any crumb of a substance to make her feel alive, to make her feel okay

[@deathchronicles6960]

Yeah she obviously got sick like hell..

[@jqhnnyy]

wow…they went off script a lot and it was great

[@HyuchaKyrie]

Pretty sure as soon Jared went off Demi decided to go off and just let it go

[@karenmink865]

This is real Also shows why casting is just as important as the script itself The actors they are a part of the script The scene shows the reality that we choose to turn our heads to There was a part in the script that she was supposed to say something to the effect of I was counting on you to make it right She didn't verbally say this line She acted it instead...her face..her eyes said it. Love this scene. It is moving..uncomfortable..thought provoking and a pivital point in the plot.

[@karenmink865]

" ... want you to come through for me.." is what the line was

[@ozymandiasnullifidian5590]

This is heartbreaking to watch...and it is realistic...I have seen such things, they leave big psychological scars on everyone involved. That is hell...

[@brandonkashinsky9222]

The acting in this scene is impeccable

[@scy77a]

I watched this for the first time earlier this year - on a whim, no less - and the harrowing emptiness that's imbedded in these characters lives, and the damage they had done to themselves and eachother by the end of the film, stuck with me long after the credits rolled. I was not expecting such an impactful film. Movies like this really do hit differently when you come from a family full of addicts and those closest to you being your own parents. Great movie, with wonderful acting, but probably won't be watching it again lol not anytime soon, anyway.

[@maxlevychoreographicworks]

i watched it once 15 years ago, and i knew i only had to watch it once

[@deathchronicles6960]

Even those who od several times still got goosebump how deep addiction makes us fall with no backup

[@theexpresidents]

Wow this is really different from the screenplay, and Selby's novel. Another awesome choice for movie/script. Thanks you!

[@illidanstormrage9149]

God. This movie was fucking heavy man

[@kylewarren5268]

This is exactly how it happens. The drug will scratch and it will claw and itll take everything away that makes u who u are. Until youre so lost u end up here just like this.

[@CheGuevara110100]

Haven't watched this film in years would probably hit differently now that I'm in recovery

[@beebop9712]

​@@UnseenOctthe abscess really brings it home for me, I almost died because of an abscess I just left untreated finally came in the hospital with severe sepsis straight to IV antibiotics. I was literally delusional from fever and I was asking the nurse what time I will be able to leave tonight...the look on her face I know she wanted to slap me but she told me that I was dying and that they are taking me to the ICU. Anyways that was the most painful thing I've ever felt completely swollen and infected and slight movement sent me into a horrible pain you can hardly describe... Anyways the point is I know exactly what it would feel like to be in jail in some unknown red state getting no treatment and the absolute pain of it all. It's almost horror to me.

[@paddyoclown]

dont..

[@doeeyes2]

I wouldnt advise it honestly

[@SaintVodou]

The halfway point in the train wreck comes when Harry flips the picture of their future over to write down Big Tim’s number. So go all dope dreams.

[@cleoalexandria8435]

[@RightBoyKA-POW]

As far as I know, it can be so hard to show real emotion and remembering word-by-word of that part of the script, all at the same time. 😕

[@edwardfetner2513]

i think a lot of it was just edited out in post. the music design in this movie plays such a huge role i believe that's the case. if there's a doc about the making of this movie I should watch it

Desperation & Despair

[@drids.]

She is so beautiful it hurts

[@TotallyNoCat]

This shit captures addiction to a T. She was so happy thinking she was about to feel normal, then boom, there's nothing and it flips a switch. Been there, done that.

[@Pass____over]

Jared Leto couldve been cool man...

[@NothingToPointOut24]

The last fuck you is perfect because you would expect it to be screamed while Harry is leaving. I love when an actor/actress can take a line with a certain intent behind it, say it different and it still comes off just as effective.

[@raguilra6953]

The entire movie is heartbreaking

[@1Capnjazz]

I always wondered how they got her eyes to look so crazy in this scene.

[@Gkm-]

First time I watched it around 14years ago now, it mentally haunted me for at least a week straight. I couldn’t get it out of my head. It’s disturbing and dark in a realistic way. Each characters struggle with substances was different but spot on.

[@claudiomargheri2087]

Honestly, i see this shit being brought up all the time. I mean cmon. Really, people. Oh god. I mean do whatever u gotta do, im just saying how cant any of you just glimpse at the fact maybe just maybe having this extravagant idea of 'im going to show this and that as a anti-something thing' come across as just so blatantly pathetic and out of place, unconsiderate. Maybe im wrong, well not inherently, but wrong in the sense of i may be wrong about the matter...but this is adult/like complex content i wouldnt ever think of 'hey today i woke up and im definitely going to show my son a cool movie' loaded up by the bias of 'thus this way he/they won't ever come near any drugs or illicit substance!' never got it really. Never bought into it. Bah. Whatever. Ironically so, wouldnt any of you think about the possibility a kid might just get sort of traumatized and/or thus infact result in they be sort of captivated by the whole thing as opposed as to' your' good (ill) intents? Using media in general to warp kids beliefs perceptions and minds is nonsensical on top of detrimental and retarded
