Please delete. Meant to do a search.

...well looks like the search function isn’t working so what the hell. Just watched this for the first time. Remind me to never do drugs. Weird, but sad movie.

It was a great movie and I have zero desire to watch it a second time.

The double dildo scene was well done.

Felt really sad for the lonely old lady. It’s easy to neglect our elders with our busy lives. Seen similar collapse only not drugs, but casinos. It’s really sad when you’re the last elder left alone.

You want to stop kids from doing drugs? Show them Requiem For A Dream when they hit 6th grade. Problem solved.

their descent and spiral into full addiction was heartbreaking

Aronofsky was one of those "I'll watch anything he does" directors for along time for me. He made intriguing, beautifully flawed films that stayed with you, but his last few attempts have been pretty disappointing.

I'll never watch Requiem again, but it's a pretty lasting movie. I also loved his use of score by Clint Mandell.

The soundtrack to The Fountain is all time.

Great movie. Before I really got into watching more movies, it was one of the first ones that made me realize how much a good one can physically/mentally affect you. Felt like I needed a shower after

I've seen it a few times.

Agree completely with yall. Great movie, well done, but such a fricked up movie. It's hard to watch, but think I need to re-watch it soon.

Fixed it for you. the first time I saw it I was in college and watched it with 5 other guys. we had no idea what we were about to watch. 2 guys left half way through. Couldn't take it. Once it ended the rest of us just sat there in silence for 5 minutes. we all said about 4 words and all went to our rooms/home and went to bed. there is no other movie out there that can make you feel the way that movie does

Kind of nuts watching that movie and seeing the cartoon character that Marlon Wayans has become.

What a bunch of fricking pansies...

It's a deep, tough story about addiction, but it's just a movie.

Also, one of the great movie scores.

Eh, I still get a little nauseous thinking about the scene when Leto is shooting up into the gaping, infected wound in his arm, and I haven't seen the movie in 15+ years.
