fucked up film: requiem for a dream (2000)

i feel like i've been missing out on this movie for a long time so i decided to check it out last night. i've only seen one darren aronofsky film and that was black swan. i kinda knew what to expect from hearing about the ass to ass scene and that fucking song you hear in every cliche dramatic youtube video.

anyway its about four people with addictions which is mostly heroin and then you got an old lady who is into diet pills. most of these characters annoyed the fuck out of me so i honestly didn't feel SHOCKED by their actions. for example, jared leto's character was constantly injecting heroin into the same place in his arm. if you keep doing that, it's going to get infected.

you had it coming dickhead

the only thing that kinda shocked me was the girl who has sex with her therapist to get money from him. then she meets up with a pimp and does a sex show with another girl. that was interesting..

i can't see myself watching this ever again. it makes a good psa for teenagers to not do drugs but its so over dramatic. check out the basketball diaries instead or even better, TRAINSPOTTING.

clean, shaven (1993)

clean, shaven is about a schizophrenic man named peter (played by peter greene) who is trying to find his daughter after he is released from a mental institution. he's also being followed by a detective who thinks he killed some girl. this is probably one of the most unforgettable films i've ever watched. peter green's performance is outstanding and i wish he would've done more drama films like this. he's also a major babe..

if you're very sensitive to self-mutilation (yes. there's a few graphic scenes) you may want to stay away from this. BUT, you will be missing out on a great movie.

fucked up film: martha marcy may marlene (2011)

(don't worry yall she wasn't killing anyone in that scene above)
martha marcy may marlene is about a girl named martha who escapes a cult that is kind of manson-esque. she calls her older sister lucy from a payphone and she picks her up and takes martha to her awesome lake house with her hot british boyfriend who supports chelsea fc. martha has been away for two years so she's been under a lot of shit. she keeps having flashbacks about the cult and lucy and her boyfriend ted are always like "what the fuck is wrong with you martha?" constantly. martha never tells them about the cult and makes it seem like she was just in a bad relationship. martha is super paranoid that the cult members are out looking for her. i'm not going to ruin the story for anyone but its a decent movie. there's like two rape scenes or so. that's why i declare it a fucked up film.

a lot of people say oh this is so chilling and nerve wrecking but i didn't feel that way throughout until like the last five minutes. i guess i've just seen too many fucked up films...
