Seems to be universally recognized as the best part of the movie.

Maradon! scribbled:
What the hell are you talking about?
Requiem for a Dream
Possibly the best, most depressing movie I've ever seen.
Jared Leto gettin his arm hacked off was just as good.
ok, not really

Maradon! had this to say about Captain Planet:
Why have I never heard of this movie?
Because you suck.

Maradon! had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
Why have I never heard of this movie?
Seriously, go rent it.
I can't describe how much I both love and hate that movie, and I've only seen it once.
Just don't watch it with your family or anything, unless they're into chicks and dildos.
It's not something people hear about.
It was all these and more.
Humans are splendid.

Didn't you cry during Grave of the Fireflies? (Which was far more depressing IMHO.)

Eh, that just sucked IMO. It was like watching a train wreck. Too horrified to look away.
Think about this for a moment:
They make Jennifer Connelly's naked, sweaty, sexed-up self a HORRIBLY DEPRESSING SIGHT.
You can't touch that.
Gotcha.
Wait, no. I lied. That made no fucking sense.

Yeah it's good, But it's not Darren Aronofsky's best work. That would be Pi.
Oh if you think the movie is depressing, read the book. It's the only book that has made me wanna die. [ 09-09-2003: Message edited by: ToastedFritters ]

So you mean the movie wasn't depressing, except for the whole point of the movie; which was depressing.Gotcha.
Wait, no. I lied. That made no fucking sense.
No the movie was not depressing. The characters in the movie were annoying because of how weak they are. What is depressing is that a huge number of people are the same way. But thats really not the point of the movie. The movie's point is pity pity pity me, because I'm to lazy/let myself get addicted/need popularity to fullfil my life.

Except that has nothing to do with the movie. No, just no.

Ace in the Spade wrote this stupid crap:
Requiem wasn't all that depressing, shocking, or interesting to me. So one woman is too weak to loose weight on her own so she resorts to weight loss pills and gets addictive to them. And why does she keep taking them because she too stupid too realize a scam and is blinded by the obvious truth by wanting to be popular again. The one girl voluntairly turns herself into a crackwhore, so she can continue to get her crack. Oh, yea that was depressing. Then the two guys, one trying to make it big but hey, when ya buy drugs for selling, using most of it is not a good idea. Ok, so the part with the crackhead shooting the gun and scaring off the dealer was kinda sucky for them but thats about as low as the movie get. Thats most of the characters and their horrible plights. I personally thought the movie rather sucked, the only redeeming factor was the refrigetaor scenes where it started hopping towards the woman. Other than that its all their own fault for ending up in the straights they deliver themselves. So really the only depressing thing about the movie is that people are actually that weak.
You're hilarious.
I notice a lot of cynical, above average intelligence, computer 'nerds' (though I am loathe to use the word) develop an image of themselves above all others, and feel that what intelligence they have puts them above the weaknesses of humanity, or something to that effect. I think maybe it comes from viewing empathy as a weakness in some regards (and thus insensitivity becomes a strength)...
I can think of a number of people on these boards that take on that persona and revel in it, I can think of people in real life who do it. I've felt the temptation myself to assume the superior position in those sorts of matters.
Has anyone else ever observed this?

I used to do that when I was ~16, it is a pretty cool illuison to assume yourself better than everyone untill at some point you realize how retarded it makes you sound.
Then again, there are plenty of works that are upbeat in emotion and are great all the same. Yes, I do enjoy stating the obvious. All that aside, it was a great movie.

Like Shazorx said, and as I was discussing with Batooties... Seems more of an age thing, and worse here because there are a lot of people from that age range.
Hee. Let's stop hijacking.

I said it and I totally agree.
