Requiem For A Dream

This film is directed by Darren Aronofsky and is a vivid and at times disturbing look into the life of "junkies" and the drug world. This review provides a gripping detail of the themes protryed within this film. I like how the writer of this review identifies the irony of the main characters, Harry and Marion. "At first, Harry and Marion inhabit a conventionally pleasant outdoors -- they stroll on the boardwalk, they smile in the sunshine. As their habit gets the better of them, they slip into dark interiors, unable to reach one another." Clearly one of the themes represented in this film is irony. "Business is good, and soon, the box is stuffed full (cash), allowing the three young friends a moment of satisfaction and sense of well-being in the world that almost matches what they feel when they're high." Another theme identified is this feeling of emptiness and false satisfactions and plays a prominent role within the entire movie. The review discusses the film in short summary, but touches mainly on the feelings and lives of the main characters. As well as describing reoccuring themes that are present throughout the film.
