This is a great conversation.

Requiem for a Dream

I am blogging again for the first time in months. I just finished watching Requiem for a Dream.
I am dumb founded by its brilliance. From the opening credits until the end I find myself captivated by this tragic story and every scene seems to be interconnected with the haunting sound of strings until it's tragic and relieving climax.
Ellen Burstyn's breath-taking performance as the widowed older woman is heart-breaking.
It may be reflections of my own drug abuse that has me so overwhelmed. It really has me thinking that I was a lucky man to have had a support system to enable me to pull myself out of a rotten situation. I was close to dealing drugs myself.
I am blessed.
