Requiem For A Dream
Here, you see Ellen Burstyn delivering Sara's monologue in a trippy, drug-tainted stupor. She has delusions of appearing on a television commercial in a red dress. It gives her "a reason to smile, [to make] tomorrow all right". She believes she is "lonely" and "old", but still "likes the way [she] feels".
Well, most of the characters in the film are totally involved in drugs, a central theme in the film, which reels them to their fates, and end their stories in pained/relieved/tripped-out foetal-positions.
I think I'll post Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides next. Incredibly depressing ending.
