You must not have seen the movie. It was tragic. She went permanently insane from the speed in the diet pills. Nobody was close enough to her to see her obvious deterioration until it was too late. One of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.
@@tomasom4497 I have seen the movie, thanks. Having friends like the friends Sarah has, does not mean you will have body dysmorphia and addiction problems. I said I wanted friends like hers. Jesus. And if *you* have seen the movie, you'll know that her friends cared deeply, more deeply than Sarah thought.
@@tomasom4497 I get what you're saying. There are some people who are kind to me and want to be my friend, but I cannot deeply connect to them as they won't be able to understand the experiences I've been through. I think Sarah has that problem too. It's alienating when people are helpful, but you know they'll never understand you so they cannot really help you. I don't have any friends, I could easily make them but I don't feel a real connection to anyone.
SAME!!! I saw it in 2000, when it was out in theaters, and I couldn't stop crying for a week. I was a wreck. This and "Dancer in The Dark" are the two movies that I know I could never watch a second time - just profoundly upsetting.
It's NOT depressing! I really hate when people say that. I think the movie had a hopeful ending. When you're at rock bottom, the only place left to go is up. Also, when you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. Sara got what she almost died for: she got to be on the show with Harry. What does it matter it wasn't "real?" It was real to her, and that's all that matters. There's hope in those things.
@@IlaughedIcried OMG Dancer in the Dark did the same for me. Bjork's character being brutalized by every side grabbed my soul to the point I still think about it today. Bjork was superb in that movie!
@@MomMom4Cubs Yes,very hopeful. Ending up in an insane asylum. Time to put on your happy face and smile, smile, smile. That is your personal take on the movie and an interesting opinion it is.
I have an aunt and cousin who were once contacted about being on Cash Cab. They sent in all of the paperwork and everything but by the time they were actually gonna be on the show it'd been so long that they'd forgotten about it. "Being on television" is not a quick process.
I literally only went here to post this. I can never watch that movie again and she is the reason why it was so damn sad heartbreak I felt for that character. I just can’t bring myself to look at it again.
You need a hug and a chocolate sundae after watching this movie… it’s truly a tough watch but that’s what makes it so good. “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”
I watched this movie years ago with my brother and his girlfriend and this movie scared the ever living shit out of me. The best depiction of drug addiction on film in my opinion, a very sad movie also.
For five generations, the women on my paternal grandmother's side (and some of the men too) were stocky, heavy, and never had any shame over it. On my grandfather's side, they were all very thin. But on my grandmother's side, the men in each generation (heavy or thin) also had colon cancer.
I love this movie. That being said it's a movie I haven't been able to watch again for years. After being through severe addiction in my 20s, the disturbing realism of this film is just too much for me to handle. It's that powerful.
Such an amazing actress, she acted in different cult films that are part of the popular culture, love her and everyone in this film made sn increíble work, you end up feeling empty and drained at the end
Check out Last Exit to Brooklyn as well...Hubert Selby jr had a way to tell a story...he actually portrayed one of the brutal jail guards in Requiem for a Dream
This film was so effective for me because I really cared for Ellen Burstyn's character. My grandmother is a super sweet Jewish old lady with a thick Boston accent (not New York, but they're similar). So when I saw what Sara Goldfarb was going through I began to imagine this happening to my grandmother and I started to bawl my eyes out.
Ive been on that diet before, trust me the hunger pangs go away, but one day you find yourself binging at 3am in a Mexican restaurant 2hrs from home. I did lose my 50lbs tho.
@@rekwa3860 My comment isn't about the movie. I didn't watch it; and won't be watching it. Nevertheless, why do the majority of women lose weight? There are only 3 reasons; and there's 1 that's most relevant.🍿😅
This has always been hilarious to me. Imagine being a woman and the hardest thing is just not stuffing your face lmao. This is what pampered life has done to them.
brother she’s a widow watch the movie her husband is dead and she’s alone and old and depressed and wants to go on her husbands favourite show lmfao you’re acting like death is easy to deal with

This movie broke my heart for that poor mother.
Me too 💔 .. poor woman
Her friends are so supportive and sweet. Imagine having a clique like that at old age. That's how I'd want to be when I'm elderly tbh

Such a heart warming film. Fun for the whole family
Truly one of the best wholesome family films to ever be made ❤️
At Christmas dinner?
Ellen Burstyn should have won the Oscar that year.
Had she not gone against what everyone was recommended and went for Best Supporting Actress instead she would have.
This movie was brilliant but i would never, ever watch it again. Horrifically depressing.

I agree but I think they should make high school students watch it
Movie haunts me til this day.

So they never went?

I think food is even a drug in this film. Very ahead of its time
yes. every person in this movie is having cravings

What a quote
I watched this movie years ago with my brother and his girlfriend and this movie scared the ever living shit out of me. The best depiction of drug addiction on film in my opinion, a very sad movie also.
They should show this in schools to keep kids off drugs
Many years ago my gf at the time said she might double up her prescripted drugs, I showed her the fridge scene, she stuck to what the doctor said
And Trainspotting
Yeah the dead baby scene from TS and the ass to ass scene in RfaD would be super for the kids
@@tomleeming3135 Im talking about high school kids. High school is about the time kids start rebelling and this would be a reality shock for them.
The Basketball diaries too
First time watching this movie I felt sooooo dirty. I needed 2 showers
Its just about broken dreams
Fun fact: requiem are a type of mass only done for the dead, so the dreams aren't just broken they're dead
@@crunchyoats1862 that fact isn't so fun in this case but I appreciate the info lol
one of the friends is actress Louise Lasser.... she was amazing in Happiness. both haunting movies.
One of my all time favorite films.
For five generations, the women on my paternal grandmother's side (and some of the men too) were stocky, heavy, and never had any shame over it. On my grandfather's side, they were all very thin. But on my grandmother's side, the men in each generation (heavy or thin) also had colon cancer.
They forgot to put a stamp on the envelope 😩
Shooter Mcgavin back at it again
The hallucinating cheeseburgers should have been an early red flag
It was like half a dream so ...
4:39 reminds me of The Sims lol
How did Ellen B not get the Oscar but Julia no Talent Roberts did
I love this movie. That being said it's a movie I haven't been able to watch again for years. After being through severe addiction in my 20s, the disturbing realism of this film is just too much for me to handle. It's that powerful.
This movie is amazing.
1:09 How it feels to chew 5 gum

Stress - best diet, tested and tried 👍🏼
Stress was the reason I got fat 😂
@@tarabooartarmy3654 scream a bit, you'll lose it ❤️
@@m.m.199 sounds way easier and more fun than the way I’ve been doing it. 😁
Total opposite for me right now
Pupils going in the wrong direction
This movie is the reason I never tried hard drugs . My big brother made me watch this ...
Scene starts at 1:19
Honestly i wish the movie was just about her
Would Sara have turned out well had she just followed her Diet and not upped the Dosage?
Theeir eyes shouldnt be dialating on opiates.
She’s doing meth
She’s on meth bruh👌
Cocaine isn’t an opiate.

they really wanted to shake us up with showing a sweet lady like her and then have things go so horribly wrong.
I got slim like this tho.... But I regained in 2yrs 😞😞😞
Eggs and grapefruit
That mom got on my nerves,so annoying and desperate
Jennifer connelly nice bush
Men like you are the reason why women can't just exist without thinking every man is a creep.

Sara is actually a good size in my opinion. Some of us men do indeed enjoy meat with our potatoes.🍻😂
You watched the movie and somehow thought that she did all that to impress a man?

My fave movie especially the sex show🤑
She could have put salt, cayenne and pepper on the boiled egg. I dont feel sorry for her at all.

It’s almost like this is a movie… from over 20 years ago and you’re just bitter at women for not liking you. 😂
He's triggered. 😂@@Raysworld101
Based on your profile picture your comment is not surprising at all 😂
This comment and your profile picture are GAY.
brother she’s a widow watch the movie her husband is dead and she’s alone and old and depressed and wants to go on her husbands favourite show lmfao you’re acting like death is easy to deal with
