Drugs are more than a medical problem, they’re a social problem as well. Many people turn to drugs to fill the void of interpersonal connectedness that they’re missing in their lives. It’s heartbreaking seeing this woman, wanting nothing more than to be needed by someone, and her son knowing that his distance from her is partially responsible for her current state.
I think everyone has had a negative thing happen in their lives and I think it just so happens that everyone that uses drugs try to blame it on some event they are small that may or possibly could be the reason I don't think it's true
Yes, even in animal studies they find the same things. This movie was ahead of its time in showing that aspect, nails it right down to human connection and loneliness, and things have gotten even worse in society over the last couple of decades since this was made
She... fucking... NAILED this! When i first saw this movie, all i could think about was her performance. I enjoyed the movie, yes. But she was something else. i was blown away. Her journey was the one that stuck out for me. And i can still her "i'm gonna be on television" in my head from time to time. Beautiful. Haunting, but beautiful. She should have gotten all the awards.
Honestly the part immediately after this where Harry shoots up again to deal with the emotional turmoil he's going through and just sits there with glossy eyes is the absolute saddest.
This Scene always makes me CRY 😢, I wasn't a drug addict,but I had problems with my mother and I thank GOD,I made amends with her and apologized to her because I didn't visit her enough, spend enough time with her. I begged for her forgiveness and she accepted my apology, that was two months before she passed away at the young Age of 74 1/2 years old in 2020. This scene always reminded me of me and my mother and how she was very alone the last couple of years of her life. Rest in Peace Mom, I love you wholeheartedly, from the bottom of my HEART ❤, you'll never be FORGOTTEN ❣️ It also breaks my heart how Ellen Burstyn never won the Academy Award for this Role in particular, especially against Julia Robert's overrated performance in "Erin Brokovich 😯👎😡⁉️
I'm sorry for your loss. I want you to know that your mom forgave you the moment you apologised and always loved you. She would never want you to have regrets and she was truly happy the time you spent together, no matter how long it was, or how long it took to happen. Never forget that.
Wait a minute.... Erin Brokovich got picked over this??? I mean, I don't have anything against Julia Roberts, but I wouldn't call that film a masterpiece. Erin Brokovich doesn't exactly stick with you for years after you've seen the film.
Julia Roberts may have gotten the popular vote that year, but Ellen Burstyn OWNED the award. She got Best Actress in so many other film festivals and critical award presentations that it was inevitable that she would be cheated out of the big one. And thank God Jared Leto, who is great in this movie as well, didn't hog this scene and let her take center stage.
Her character had it the worst; the rest brought their destruction on themselves by dealing drugs but she just lost control from wanting to feel needed.
If only in Suicide Squad as the Joker he played an *addicted crazed drug addict trying to fit into society* instead of a *normal person trying to act crazy...*
@@Densester exactly. I was one of those people that hopped on the bandwagon of loving Phoenix and Ledger’s Joker performance and absolutely hating Jared Leto’s joker, thinking he was just a shitty actor. However, his acting in this film is phenomenal. I just watched it for the first time a few days ago and was blown away. All the acting in this movie was tremendous but Leto killed it here. Totally redeems his crappy Joker portrayal imo
I thought it was weird how the shot of Ellen Burstyn's face was of a weird quality on the blu-ray. Apparently the cinematographer fogged up the camera because it made him cry.
I honestly can think of a fan sequel after this movie. Sara Goldfarb very slowly recovers from her psychosis and does reunite with Harry, Marion dies of an overdose, but before all that Harry was in a rush to get back home to the only two woman he loves.
@@roseg2239 Because she's even more addicted than Harry is by the end of the film. The book even states that Marion will die of an overdose if she continues on her path.
Oh… behold… we have a real bad boy here. So kids, just do drugs and have fun because apparently drugs aren’t dangerous at all. They just have an over sensationalised reputation.
The movie isn’t about drugs, it has drugs in it that’s all. It shows loneliness, depression, pain, anxieties, poor choices. Anyone can experience this with or without “drugs”. Of course powerful substances can worsen the situation.
@@mikipav1064 drugs are dangerous if abused, numbskull. Caffeine can kill you if abused. Nicotine. Millions take drugs and don't die. Addiction is the killer. You tried though with your ridiculously vapid, know it all comment . Unfortunately for you, you failed miserably and showed what a pea brain you are. Embarrassing really.

Do you have any other suggestions? I really liked this movie, too
@@bobby6941 Not sure. "The Usual Suspects" was very good. Also, "Se7en" was awesome.
@@jaqueitch se7en was bad ass, I want to watch the movie PI sometime, heard this same guy made it
This movie is shot so well. When he notices the teeth grinding it's so unsettling
It was so creepy too
Very unnerving
Thats why its one of the best horror films
This movie is so damn depressing, really shows how the world really is.
Aye lil mama
It shows one perspective of the world. A very dark one, the world has tremendous joy and beauty too.
I agree the theme the music the things people had do endure in this movie and more. Yeah its depressing as hell!
Was it supposed to be as comedic as it was? Everything was so cartoonishly over the top. The objects turning into burgers had me laughing
the most depressive about it all is that he don´t even care enough about his mother. if i saw my mother like that i would help her way more in any way possible, it´s his own mother for christs sake there is no greater love than a mothers love in this world
I don’t know how Ellen Burstyn didn’t win awards for this calibre of acting. Unbelievably heart wrenching.
The same year she competed with Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich. I wish Ellen Burstyn had won the awards.
This scene should hit close to home for alot of people, alot of us have or had this Mom. Oscar stuff...
A mom addicted to pills? I hope not a lot of people have that.

sarah such a good actress ...
sami Hassan Ellen Burstyn played as Sarah Goldfarb in the film and she does a really good job on that film.
I cry every time I see this scene.
Especially when her cracks as she says the "I'm Lonely, I'm Old" line. I've never wanted to give a hug to a fictional character more in my life.
This movie is so fucking raw. The emotions feel real.
Lying there in hospital, no left arm, crying about his life, girlfriend... He doesn't even know that his mother is an empty shell.
One of the best movies ever made. Movie is like a roller coaster.
Honestly the part immediately after this where Harry shoots up again to deal with the emotional turmoil he's going through and just sits there with glossy eyes is the absolute saddest.
Yeah that was really fucked up
This movie really is a masterpiece.
My mom is exactly like this, and it was played by the actress beautifully. She is wonderful.
I hope you see your momma often and tell her how much you love her and hug her tight 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This movie is impossible to watch without breaking down. For me at least..

For me this was never a movie just about drugs. Firstly, it was a movie about isolation and alienation.
I’m lonely, I’m old
😢
@@perlasa990 it really was so heartbreaking
💔

This movie is the epitome of how brutal life can be and how we kid ourselves it's not all for nothing...
Her character had it the worst; the rest brought their destruction on themselves by dealing drugs but she just lost control from wanting to feel needed.
I'm never ever seeing this movie again, but this scene is just so good I can't even
I love the subtle inditement on American healthcare with “Of course he gives me pills he’s a doctor”
Jared Leto really likes saying “Christ Sake”
The character of Harry in the book says that phrase a lot as well.
i cried so hard and i rarely do that. wow
Holy hell how did Ellen Burstyn not win the Oscar for this?
Now when I get the sun...I SMILE!! 😭😭😭😭
This scene reminds me so much of my own mom that it breaks my heart
Soul crushing
If only in Suicide Squad as the Joker he played an *addicted crazed drug addict trying to fit into society* instead of a *normal person trying to act crazy...*
Man Requiem really reminds you that Jared Leto is an actually decent actor after that joker shit.
If an actor's good in one movie but shit in the other it's often the director/writers fault they're shitter compare GOT season 1 Jon Snow to season 8

the point of this film is show a real life story about drugs addictions, thats why don't have a happy ending
Alan Conejeros exactly, but sometimes we just have to picture these down the road “what if” endings to keep our happiness lol
@Pit Pat in real life people also lose their shit after being addicted why do we always need good endings not everyone have good ending.
Why does Marion have to die?
@@roseg2239
Because she's even more addicted than Harry is by the end of the film. The book even states that Marion will die of an overdose if she continues on her path.
Who is that she is a fucking brilliant actress
She is. Ellen Burstyn.

This is the most depressing scene of the most depressing movie I ever saw. I'm not watching the clip, I just came here to drop this comment
this scene made me call my mom
Holy act job
I agree.
"Before you go bouncing all over again" 😂😂😂
I feel sick to my stomach now
Why is sara in a soft warm light and harry is in a dark cold light and then he gets back to a bright light?
Perhaps being with his own mother is more painful that being away on his own journey
Because it switches when he realized that she was on croakers. Look how he lightning mood changes when he saw/hears her grinding her teeth.
Meth.. "if makes tomorrow alright"
I agree
Really is a harrowing movie... I asked for a fucked up movie, got one, and then suffered the consequence.
and she didn't win the oscar. still my biggest grievance ever at the oscars. smh.
