Requiem for a Dream. Recommended by the College of
Psychiatric and Neurological Pharmacists (CPNP)
“
Junkies”. “Addicts”. “Crack heads”. These are all common
derogatory terms referring to people suffering from drug
addiction.
Requiem for a Dream
depicts four different kinds of drug addiction each leading
different outcomes for the characters. Sara Goldfarb (Ellen
Burstyn) is addicted to amphetamines, Marion Silver (Jennifer
Connelly), Tyrone Love (Marlone Wayans), and Harry Goldfarb
(Jared Leto) are all addicted to heroin. The lives of these
characters are all drastically changed as they progress further
into their drug addiction. Requiem for a Dream is not like a
typical drug abuse film in which the characters have
successfully overcome their addiction or are on a path to
recovery. Instead, it shows how drug abuse completely engulfs
an individual to the point where they are unrecognizable.
OTHER OPTIONS
Basketball Diaries:
Though basketball is its central conceit, "Basketball Diaries" is
not a sports film—at least not in the conventional sense. Based
on jock-poet-rock star Jim Carroll's celebrated account of his
brutal descent into heroin abuse as a teenager in Manhattan, the
film has no big-game finale drawing the story forward. It's a
tough, intense, wrenching picture about drugs and growing up
and surviving, driven by a fierce, skinless performance by its
star, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Drugstore Cowboy:
Portraits of drug addiction tend to wallow in spiraling miseries,
like a hurricane that gathers strength and grows more
destructive as it reaches landfall. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon) is
the leader of a "family" of drug addicts consisting of his wife,
Dianne (Kelly Lynch), and another couple who feed their habit
by robbing drug stores as they travel across the country. After a
tragedy befalls a member of his group, Bob decides he must
leave his dysfunctional clan and go straight. Parting ways with
his junkie past proves more difficult than expected when Bob is
stalked by an old acquaintance looking to score drugs at any
price.
Candy:
The sight of young people going down the drain is never
pleasant, particularly when there are needles jabbed in their
arms. It isn’t just that watching anyone probe his or her veins
with a sharp tends to be pretty gross; it’s also that the ritual of
heroin addiction. This film features striking performances from
Heath Ledger and Geoffrey Rush. Mr. Ledger plays Dan, a low-
key charmer with a dewily pretty girlfriend, Candy (Abbie
Cornish), and a growing appetite for heroin.
