Requiem for a dream follows the paralleled lives of four individuals and their addiction to heroin, cocaine and diet pills.It shows the direct and indirect effects that drugs and various addictions have on each of the individuals, and then portrays their downward spirals from their hopes and dreams. What I found inspiring about this film was it's abilities to push the boundaries when representing the effects of drugs on the body. By playing with camera angles and effects, lighting and narrative director Darren Aronofsky created some very effective visuals to go with this impactful storyline.
