My favorite character

Today I’m going to talk about my favorite film’s character: Harry, from Requiem for a Dream. This character is performed by Jared Leto and is the principal of the story.

Well, Harry isn’t an ideal son: he sold many times his mother’s TV for get some money and to buy drugs (for him, his best friend Tyrone and his girlfriend Marion). And finally he finishes without one arm because the heroine’s needle infected it.

So, why I love the Harry character into Requiem for a Dream?  Even though Harry was a junkie, I think that he had the courage to search a future with Marion; even if it was ephemeral he always wanted to get the life he imagined. And more than the Harry character into the film, I love the performance of Jared Leto. In my opinion he reaches a perfect interpretation of a complex person: druggy, thief and dying man (at the end).

Far from being a moral film against drugs and excess, I think that Requiem for a Dream want to tell us how the modern families are in a kind of crisis: Harry’s mother is an addict too (addict to a TV show and addict to lose-weigh pills) and even Harry love her so much, the addiction of each one doesn’t let they can live in harmony.
