Marlon Wayans reflects on the 25th anniversary of 'Requiem For A Dream' and explains why the film was so emotionally taxing that he has only ever seen it one time, despite starring in it. He describes the movie as a life-changing experience that felt more like a PSA.
Transcript
00:00It's been 25 years since Requiem for a Dream came out.
00:03Damn! Damn! My bad. That's crazy.
00:06You know what's crazy? I still look like I did 25 years ago.
00:10Full credit to you, man.
00:11You know what I mean? I mean, I cut it low.
00:13Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:16But that movie I have not actually seen in 25 years because I could only see it once.
00:19I seen it one time and I was in it.
00:21I was going to ask, like, can you actually see it again?
00:23I've never seen that movie again because it was like a PSA.
00:25I just felt so, I don't know, I felt dirty after I did the movie.
00:30I just felt like I need to call my mama.
00:32I need to never do drugs again.
00:35Like, it changed my life and I've only seen that movie one time.
00:39But it was a great movie.
00:40Absolutely. 100% a great movie.
00:42This one I can watch over and over again because I feel like it's a perfect length.
00:46And at the end, although it has similarities to Requiem,
00:50you start out with these characters, you go on this ride
00:52and they have all these hopes and these dreams
00:54and then it goes crashing down.
00:57And just when you're about to hit the ground, like in Requiem,
00:59it went through the ground and straight to hell.
01:01This one got close to the ground and then made a twist
01:04and found back up to the light and you go off to ride
01:07and you're like, oh my God, let's do that again.
01:09A good one.
01:09A good one.
01:10A good one.
01:13You
