Requim for a Dream

This was an awesome movie. In the beginning of this movie it was like I had expected. A deadbeat kid in trouble and scaring his mother. His junkie girlfriend and his thug best friend. They really showed the struggles that people with a drug problem and their families go through. After a while the Junkies get smart and decide they are going to by a large amount of heroin and sell it. This was a good idea for them they began making a lot of money. The problem was that they still used the drugs and they stayed as junkies. I thought the movie represented how quickly someone can make money by selling drugs. I honestly thought they were going to become very successful with their drug business and clothing store. Then a drug war hit, that sent their lives spiraling down. Nobody in the city had drugs. Junkies started going crazy and doing anything for money. Finally when a large shipment came in they thought they were going to score I however expected they wouldn't. I was right some junkie to desperate for the drugs messed up their operation. The next thing that happened I had also expected, The girlfriend started prostituting herself for drugs. The boys heard there were drugs in Florida so they decided make a trip. They didn't even make Florida. The stupid junkie kept injecting his infected arm making it worse and worse. He is the reason that they got arrested and wind up in prison and dying in a hospital. His girlfriend continues to have to prostitute herself for money. All of this was stuff that I honestly did not see coming. It all surprised me and made it really interesting. The part I didn't like was the involvement of the mother. I knew she was going to go crazy the second the doctor prescribed her those little uppers. I honestly thought that it was a side story that just made the movie weird. Over all I thought the movie was a good way to scare young kids away from drugs. That stupid infomercial was amazingly annoying.
