Heroin Movie

The movie "Requiem for a Dream" was an overall weird movie. You had to pay close attention to understand the movie. In the beginning Harry Goldfarb (the main character) is a bum who keeps stealing his mother's TV set and selling it to a pawn shop for drugs. His mother then has to go back to the pawn shop and buy it back. Harry and his friend Tyrone use the money for the own pleasure of drugs.


The mother (Sara Goldfarb) watches a TV show nonstop. She loves watching the show and gets a call about her being on TV. She finds the dress that she fit into years ago and wants to fit into it again. She starts out by dieting with no sugar. She is having a pretty hard time with it and asks her friend how she lost her weight. Her friend suggested a doctor that gave out pills.


One day the boys decided to get into the heroin business. Instead of using it all on themselves though, they are buying a lump sum and then selling smaller bags for more money. They start to make pretty good money. Harry's girlfriend, Marion Silver is starting a clothing line and Harry wants her to branch out. Harry also feels bad for his mother because of how many times he stole and sold her TV. Since Harry has money now he buys his mother a very large TV to show her that he's sorry. Sara is very proud that she is losing weight and that her son is so successful.


Years pass and the business is going well but they are starting to take more and more of the heroin. Marion and Harry start to fight because the supply is running out. Tyrone is about to get promoted to a dealing position and his boss gets killed. Tyrone then gets put into jail. All things are starting to get bad.
Sara is now in the hospital because she is so doped out. Tyrone gets bailed out, him and Harry go to Florida to get a big deal while going, Harry notices that he has a arm infection and needed to go to the hospital. Marion is needing money so bad that she starts sell her body for sexual things.
The doctor sees Harry's arm and notifies the police about his heroin addiction. They then are heading back to jail and harry loses his arm. The moral of this movie is: DON'T DO DRUGS.
