Requiem for a Dream (2000). A harsh, but enlightening movie about addiction. One of those you can watch once and need not ever again.

I watched it on acid because I thought it was just some drug movie so good to watch while tripping right? I had to go sit on a bench in the park for a good hour at like 3am after I finished.

Seems you came out on top of the situation.

Great movie, but also fuck that movie.

I had a friend who would watch this movie over and over. She said it was her “favorite movie”

I later found she was a little messed up in the head.

I hope so too

We stopped talking after she got herself stranded in a different city to manufacture a big crisis where people had to rescue her from south central LA at 2AM. She said it was a mistake but we later overheard her bragging about how she did it on purpose to get attention.

Haven't watched it in forever for obvious reasons, but I recognized it right away.
