has anyone else seen this movie? did it also make you want to never try any "hardcore" drugs? I think children should be forced to watch this movie. It definently puts into perspective the horrible things that could happen to someone if they decide to go the route of drug dealing.

LOL, I've seen the unrated version of this movie numerous times. Yeah, its definately one of those "Scared Straight" flicks.

Beta Man · 05-21-2008, 02:25 PM

I own this one, and it's a pretty good flick. When the mom is all cracked out, it's GOLD!

totally drawing a blank right now. I do remember there was a cowboy who went around selling heroine with some kid. He made his own meth lab in a hotel room and blew up the hotel room at the end.

I also remeber the kid had a stripper over and tied her up and got cracked out and ended up leaving her tied up for a few days on accident. I kicking myself for not remebering now. Was done by the same exact people who did the first one.

I believe you are referring to SPUN. Horrible Movie. Horrible. Not a sequel though as far as I know. Not the same director writer or cast.

I think you mean Spun, but it has nothing to do with Requim for a Dream

This movie wasn't that good, but Jennifer Connelly is good.

not just drug dealing....the movie illustrated the lives of 4 people revolving around drugs and the addiction of drugs. quite a powerful movie IMO.

I don't think it is proven showing the horrible effects of drugs is really deters self-destructive children. Maybe it gets to a few but maybe others it might even push them further. And you might be surprised at the number of "hardcore" users that get a trip out of watching that film.

I used to smoke ALOT of marijuana (especially at the time i first saw this movie) and i didn't get high for a week or two after watching this movie. For me, a week or two was also an eternity at that point and time.

SquidPuppet · 05-21-2008, 04:41 PM

Does anyone know if the Directors cut is the same as the Unrated version?

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 05-21-2008, 04:44 PM

I think it was more or a broad message aimed at all drug users. It just kind of sent the message of "what the consequences could be."

Even before watching that movie i still wouldn't touch any other drug besides pot, but after watching it, it made me realize how good of a decision it was to not use anything else
