Addiction is a very terrible addiction. Why today, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world began to get involved in this? There are several reasons for this. They become drug-dependent during the use of certain medications for medical or non-medical purposes. How do they become addicted? A person begins to feel a lack of new thrills or takes medications due to illness as prescribed by a doctor, and then simply cannot live without them. Also, young people are attracted to this environment by adverse companies, a free lifestyle without parental supervision (the so-called “golden youth”), and a thirst for new sensations.
The best films about drug addicts often show this life more colorful than it actually is. Although some works are quite realistic. Now we will consider one of the films about drug addicts.
Quite sensational at the time, the film "Requiem for a Dream" tells the story of several characters at once. Sarah Goldfarb is the widow and mother of Harold Goldfarb. She was very fond of various talk shows, and her main entertainment was watching TV. Her son was a drug addict and constantly appeared at home in order to steal something valuable, lay down and buy a new dose of drugs. Usually it was just my mother’s favorite TV.
But Sarah constantly redeemed him and continued to watch his favorite shows. Once she got a call from a television studio and was offered to participate in one of them - it was her dream. The first thing after the call, Sarah put on her favorite red dress, in which she wanted to appear in front of the cameras. Then she realized that she was a bit overweight for him. The doctor attributed to her pills containing amphetamines - drugs. Over time, she begins to hallucinate.
Harold and his friends Tyrone and Marion become drug dealers. Harold and Marion even began to make plans for the future. The friends managed to save up a certain amount of money, which subsequently had to be paid as a ransom for Tyrone, who was detained by the police. But here they kill their accomplice who supplied drugs, and between the friends the war begins for the dose.
At the end of the film, they showed quite colorfully how people's dreams are crumbling due to drug use.
Films about drug addicts are shot in order to warn the younger generation about the dangers of such funds. If we talk about Russian cinema, then immediately standing Russian film about drug addicts is very difficult to name (if you do not take into account the sensational “Igloo”). For some reason, our scriptwriters and directors circumvent this very topic on the tenth road.
Modern films about drug addicts sometimes not only distort the cruel reality of such people, but show how cool it is, sitting in a club with a large group of friends to sniff powder and come off until morning. But judge for yourself, what's so cool about this? Every time you stuff your body with all sorts of nasty things, your health is simply ruining. Such drugs cause physiological and psychological dependence. I would like all the films about drug addicts, which will still be shot, to have as much reliable information as possible and show reality, rather than an open fantasy.
