Originally a novel written in 1978 by Hubert Selby, Jr., ''Requiem For A Dream'' was made into a movie by [[Darren Aronofsky]] in 2000. The story is about three friends and one friend's mother, who over the course of nine months (summer, fall, winter) have their lives destroyed by drug addiction. ''Requiem For A Dream'' is well-loved for its haunting view on drug use, but it's also widely criticized for its ''extremely'' inaccurate and negative portrayal of normal medical procedures. |

Harry is a twenty-something drug addict, who routinely steals his long-suffering mother's TV to pawn it for money. His mother, Sara, is a timid and lonely shell of a woman who lives in a permanent state of denial. Her only concerns are to hide her son's condition from the world as much as from herself, being accepted by the neighborhood's women, and watching a television self-help infomercial show almost continually. |
