Target Audience and Analysis 2

  Requiem for a dream

The website rotten tomatoes gave 99 for fresh, but also 28 for rotten, overall 93% of people liked the film. many reviews had been written, I have selected 2 reviews from both points of views.

The reviewer feels the film  will stand the test of time and finds the film to be a dream state. He then goes on to say the dream like format, does not glamorize drugs and drug addicts in any way. 

Another review which does not follow the feeling of the review above. The reviewer feels the film is an experiment that went wrong, the cinematic approaches are weak and did not live up to the earlier picture, he also tells the audience to just say NO.

Requiem for a dream box office numbers  

US box office £2.5M this shows the box office was not very high as the film may not appeal to the mass audience, but the film has become a cult hit in its own riTarget Audience and analysis  Requiem for a dreamght.For our film the dream like style is a main style and focus in our story, but our film subject is not as  extreme as having a film about drugs and drug addiction. We will obviously not have such a full on message and story, our film will still be full of meaning and symbolism.
