Below is the track 'Summer Overture' by Clint Mansell, as witnessed in Requiem For A Dream. I've probably listened to the song...I wanna say 30 times since I saw the film on Wednesday.
The films I like the most are the ones that I describe as mind-blowing after I've seen them. If a movie blows your facking mind, as in makes you feel and makes you go to places to which you never thought possible, you've probably seen a good movie. A great movie. Or at least one that affected you monumentally. I remember when I saw Network for the first time last year and then One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I recall just being in a state of shock and awe. I felt the same way with Aronofsky's film. And if a film, after you watch, puts you in a really sorrowful and depressed mood, something is up. You might have just watched something great. (I remember that feeling after Grave of the Fireflies.)
So, yeah, I kinda fricking loved it. I urge you to see it. Do yourself a favor. You've probably already seen it, but whatever. Put yourself through it again. I doubt it'll lose its effect. Even just see it for Ellen Burnstyn's incredible performance. SHE TRANSFORMED. And listen to Mansell's score. I almost have trouble listening to it now, because it brings me back to all the insanity and hell on Earth that I saw in the film. Damn.
