I credit requiem for a dream waaaaayyy more than any other education as keeping me the hell away from hard drugs.

Yeah, there were definitely some stark moments. The hell of withdrawals and falling into OD were poignant, as well as just the behavior of all the addicts towards each other. And themselves.

I think requiem was so effective because it showed the banality of addiction. Nothing super stylized. Just the hell of having your entire life revolve around feeding the addiction your brain places above all other things in life, and there’s not even a close second. Friends, family, partners, children, they are all far down the list when your brain is slamming you to feed the addiction.

Trainspotting made me never want to try heroin.

Requiem reminds you if you do do heroin.... Don't suck dick for it
