I know. I went through a cluster period of watching it several times, then had to stop.

Many harrowing scenes, but the one in which the Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly characters are on the phone and he says, "I'm really sorry, Marion" - that was so sad and sticks with me to this day.

I wonder how it compares with Trainspotting, which is a "gritty" movie about drug addiction (plus crime plot) set in Scotland ?

Trainspotting is far better. Requiem for a Dream takes several cheap turns to amplify the melodrama which really dampens it all for me. It winds up more like an after school special in a lot of ways. The mother's character arc is brilliant though.

Trainspotting is definitely funnier.

But Trainspotting doesn't have Jennifer Connelly.

It's a 90s movie though so naturally there's a scene where a trans woman gets assaulted.

I know Begbie is supposed to be a huge piece of sh*t but still.

The di1do scene was certainly memorable.

I found Mia Farrow incredibly annoying in that movie (but I guess that was the point). Daisy: *crying* "I've never seen such beautiful shirts!" *sobs*

Poor Gatsby.

Can't stand her! And don't get me started on Tom Buchanan.

Is it ok or is it pervy to make love to shirts?
