Movies about addicts: "Requiem for a Dream"

Addiction is a very terrible addiction. Why today hundreds of thousands of young people around the world have become addicted to this? There are several reasons for this. Drug addicts become in the process of using certain drugs for medical or non-medical purposes. How do they become addicted? A person begins to feel a lack of new thrills, or takes medication because of illness as directed by a doctor, and then simply can not live without them. Also, young people are attracted to this environment by unfavorable companies, a free way of life without the supervision of their parents (the so-called "golden youth"), a thirst for new sensations.

The best movies about drug addicts often show this life more colorful than it really is. Although some of the works are quite realistic. Now we will consider one of the films about drug addicts.

A film "Requiem for a Dream" that was sensational enough in its time tells the story of several characters at once. Sarah Goldfarb is the widow and mother of Harold Goldfarb. She was very fond of various talk shows, and her main entertainment was watching TV. Her son was an addict and constantly appeared at home to steal something valuable, lay down and buy a new dose of drugs. Usually it was just my mother's favorite TV.

But Sarah constantly bought it and continued to watch her favorite shows. Once she got a call from a television studio and offered to participate in one of them - it was her dream. First thing after the call Sarah put on her favorite red dress, in which she wanted to appear in front of the cameras. Then she realized that a lot of things for him. The doctor attributed to her pills containing amphetamines - drugs. Over time, she begins to hallucinate.

Harold and his friends Tyrone and Marion become drug dealers. Harold and Marion even started to make plans for the future. The friends managed to accumulate a certain amount of money, which later had to be made as a ransom for Tyrone, who is detained by the police. But then they kill their accomplice, who supplied drugs, and between friends the war starts for a dose.

At the end of the film, it was shown quite colorfully how people's dreams are being destroyed because of the drugs.

Films about drug addicts are removed in order to warn the younger generation about the harm of this kind of funds. If we talk about Russian cinema, then immediately standing Russian film about drug addicts is very difficult (if you do not take into account the notorious in his time, "Igloo"). For some reason, it's this topic that our screenwriters and filmmakers are avoiding the tenth road.

Modern movies about drug addicts sometimes not that distort the cruel reality of such people, but show how cool it is, sitting in a club with a big company of friends sniffing powder and breaking away until morning. But judge for yourself, what's so great about this? Every time you stuff your body with all kinds of nasty things, your health is simply ruined. Such drugs cause physiological and psychological dependence. I would like all the films about drug addicts who are still to be photographed to have as much reliable information as possible and to show the reality, and not a covered fantasy.
