Narration In Pursuance Of Books Requiem for a Dream (Screenplay)

From the writer/director of the acclaimed film Pi, the screen-adaptation of Hubert Selby Jr.'s classic cult novel. Requiem for a Dream is a modern-day fable set on the rusted mean streets of Brooklyn's Coney Island that follows the stories of four people desperately in pursuit of a better life. Oscar-winning actress Ellen Burstyn stars as Sara, a widowed mother obsessed with her waistline and addicted to diet pills and the thought of appearing on television. Her son Harry (Jared Leto), his girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans in a surprising dramatic debut), are junkies in search of the American dream - only in their world fortunes are won through a successful score and sell operation and the three long to lay their hands on the pound of heroin that, once unloaded, will finance a legitimate business of their own. Soon enough, though, their earnest pursuits begin to take on horrifying dimensions; and, even as their world crumbles around them, Sara, Harry, Marion and Tyrone refuse to let go, plummeting with their dreams in a nightmarish freefall not soon to be forgotten.

Assess Appertaining To Books Requiem for a Dream (Screenplay)

This movie freaked me out. Aronofsky is the master of psycho-concentrated manipulation of the audience's mind.

This book was amazing and showed me a whole knew world into the minds and psyche of mankind. All four of the characters in this story are longing for connection of some sort and for each of them, it eventually leads to their downfall. They all became drug addicts at the end or worse. I found this book because it was sad to be one of the hardest movies to watch due to its rough nature, odd cinematography and the realness of the tough topics it is discussing is too hard for most audiences. I think

This is the very first screenplay I ever read. It was also the first screenplay I read before watching the movie. I was hooked. I'm currently a student filmmaker, and with that said is enough.

Amazing film. I haven't read the book, but I must. After watching this I just sat in awe. It deserves more then 5 stars.

Scary stuff

Far better than the movie (as most books are). Creative punctuation makes for a unique read.

This book is not for those looking for a clean read. This portrays a bunch of young friends searching for the American dream and the only way out of the slums is through selling heroine. Those of you who know me, know I love anything about psychology, including the downfall of man. Why do people do things and what leads them to act the way they do?
