>The Painted Bird
Fun fact, it's based on a book written by a guy who was full of shit and got exposed as a liar decades ago, it's one of these >it was real in my mind
stories.
I never thought the Painted Bird was a biography. Did the movie include the moronic girl who went around fricking everyone's husband's? In the book they fill a wine bottle full of pig shit and stuff it up her pussy and beat her until the bottle breaks inside of her. There's tons of weird symbolic scenes that are obviously not related to reality. If you thought that was to be taken literally you're stupider than the author claiming they were real. His other books aren't as good
Gettysburg 1993, because that was the day we Americans lost our freedom for good. Robert E. Lee made the fatal mistake of letting his enemy dictate the terms of a battle. But of course hindsight always being 20/20 and all that.
there's something about incompetence and malice from the higher ups causing untold suffering that just sucks all the joy out of life
injustice in general, the actual culprits getting away in a broken system
it's not even rage porn, it's just depressing as frick because not only it's a real life problem and has happened before, but keeps happening again and again all over
I think the Chernobyl miniseries captured this feeling very well
Mads Mikkelsen's Jagdten is another great example of this kind of depression kino that I'm talking about. Not as good as Chernobyl though because all he had to do was to leave the town of troglodytes who thought him a molester but still a great film.
Mr Bates vs the Post Office was a recent example of that. It's not as good as Chernobyl, but it's a true story and an ongoing uk scandal. Good if you want more lives getting ruined over nothing and zero accountability.
>Blue Valentine
because you'll never really have her. It's great. You never make her cum as hard as that other guy. You'll write sonnets and spend nights awake thinking about it, but never fully confronting it out of fear of the truth. Nobody ever gets what they want except israelites apparently.
The funniest thing is how casually he says it. It doesn't sound like a joke. It sounds like he truly beliefs dogs can consent to fricking humans. Furries are subhuman, this world is ending, sodom and gemorrah frick all of you.
I really like his content because he talks about good films instead of farming superhero rage bait
But yeah his takes on animals are legit schizo. He basically says animals can't consent to being held as cattle and we still do it, so that is equal. If you follow that train of thought the logical answer would be veganism and not bestiality.
YMS can't shut the frick up about how much he loves the movie and about how it's all about how we are all gonna die and nothing matters, he literally repeats it at the end of most of his videos as a sort of catchphrase.
TBF anon it's a pretty good film with merits in its own right, like Jefferson Island which is insanely underused as a location. It also has even stranger synchronicities with the Elisa Lam case
The ending was one of the worst ive ever seen. Wasnt surprised either because it was written by a woman >le my personal womanly dyke trauma should be centerpiece of a film about a dude with a soul crushed beyomd repair
That wasn't the vibe of the movie at all. If anything it was a perfect picture of how men can suffer horribly inside and not show it to anyone, how they might show some vague signs through self destructive behavior.
If that's the give you got unironically go outside
This one was surprisingly dark judging by its poster.

You'll have an excuse for your social failures no matter what I say. You're the X factor and the only thing that can change it. Good luck and don't fall for online dating bait images.
You can, problem is that grotesquely fat women put their body type ALWAYS as "athletic" or "curvy" look out of they say "few extra pounds" or "bbw" cuz they are 500lbs plus.
>Aniara
There's a comedic version of Aniara called Avenue 5 that's much happier. They still all probably die in the darkness of space but the show has House in it.
"Crimes and Misdemeanors" by Woody Allen >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_and_Misdemeanors
Anyone with the slightest spark of decency gets screwed.
Schlock film producer becomes fabulously rich.
The rabbi goes blind.
Murderer gets away with it, unsuspected.
A self-help guru who preached Optimism commits suicide.
In short, The Universe Sucks.
I haven't watched an Allen movie since
it didn't impress me, i mean yeah life sucks and it's unfair but you get used to it. i didn't really feel bad for anyone, the woman who got murdered was kind of crazy and at the end of the day she won't be missed
The ending of The Irishman gave me existential dread for days afterwards. It also made it so I have crippling dread whenever I think about death. I don't want to die sad and alone lads
I'm not a big movie person but I got high with some friends and watched Hereditary thinking it would be like every other moronic horror movie that has come out in the past 2 decades and the sense of dread I felt watching out was just awful. So I'm gonna go with Hereditary.
Ikiru just hits me straight in the feels. The bureaucrats pleading to change at the funreal and then everything basically reverting back to normal feels so familiar. at least one guy had a change of heart and the kids got a playground to play at. If we all just tried a bit more, the world would be a lot better for everyone involved.
>The bureaucrats pleading to change at the funreal and then everything basically reverting back to normal feels so familiar
this happens to me every time I watch one of those inspirational movies or podcasts
how do you keep that spark going till the next day?
like afterwards it feels like it's impossible to go back to mindlessly browsing the internet and play video games and yet somehow it happens almost like you have no consciousness
thats the beauty of the movie. you want to shout at them like the one younger guy that is mad that they just reverted, but he had change of heart early enough. as long as youre not old enough to fall back into the same old rutt, you'd best start today to set a new standard/routine, one which you might have to force at the beginning and remind yourself a lot, but once youre doing it long enough, it gets easier and then its the new routine.
on that note, i also liked the recent british remake with nighy
Gf of a very long time dumped me. Five months later, it was what would have been our anniversary. I was feeling a bit better at that point but man, that day brought out the worst in me. Do you know what 3 movies I decided to watch for the first time ever, back-to-back, until the sun came up, just because I heard they were sad? >500 Days of Summer >Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind >Her
I was never more of a wreck than in my entire life than that night.
Any movie that depicts overbearing parents that go out of their way to embarrass their child at every single opportunity. Bonus points if they're religious nuts. Bonus points if we're meant to laugh at the child's misfortune like its his fault that his parents are buttholes.
I'm an adult and I know that permanently damaged me in many ways.
For me it's the parents, usually the mum, doing/saying something moronic, you using your brain to counter them and them claiming you're emotionally abusing them
I know people like to meme on Parasite but the ending is so good the way it takes the kid's fantasy of working his ass of to be able to hug his father again and rips it away from our faces when it's shown that the events are not a flash-forward, but just a depiction of what he's writing down.
Kid Detective had a really fricked up ending. the real kicker for me was the exchange between mc and the schoolgirl at the end of the movie >has she reached out to you? >she's just a child
This one movie with Christian bale where he's a priest in some map country or whatever during a war and the map school girls are getting raped by the soliders literally to death, just fricking dreadful to watch, didn't even finish it......Martrys...and the Divide 2011 ...that's just off the tope of my head
Requiem for a Drema is quite draining. I've only watched it once. The two generations of the family both hitting rock bottom at the same time sort of pummels the soul. that israelite director really made a point of making the music intense.
Although it's a goofy pop-art film, Daft Punk's Electroma is also quite slow and depressing, and has a kind of troony subtext if you want to read it that way (robots desperately trying to be human but they really aren't, they put on stupid "human" makeup which melts off instantly and the townspeople are hip to their lie, one commits suicide).
If you don't feel like an overall worse, more hollow person after watching Cannibal Holocaust, you're very desensitized, to the point of pathology. I'm not just talking about the animal gore, which helps the emotional state along. I really mean the whole mood of the thing. You're supposed to feel like a worse human being for having watched it. Some young office chickie talks excitedly about how people need to have their senses raped by exploitative material, then they all go in the screening booth to look at the stuff and the guy orders the footage burned after. OTOH there is a bit of sick Cinemaphile-tier humor when Alan Yates, psychopath that he is, is unable to suppress a smile upon the sight of the spit-roasted corpse girl. Easy to miss but it plays on-screen like gif related)
Recently watched nightmare alley and it was very depressing. Especially because I’ll never make babies with rooney Mara.
Man that ending was so good. Felt like a Twilight Zone ending.
OP's birth
20 days in Mariupol
Cars 2
Probably The Last American Virgin
That ending hit so close to home
Come and See
most of Ulrich Seidl's films, especially his documentaries, fit that bill

It’s one of the more frustrating memes here considering it really is an excellent film.

Mads, I sure was
>just leave
he didn't want his legacy to be ruined and left to rot, he wanted to prove his innocence
Mr Bates vs the Post Office was a recent example of that. It's not as good as Chernobyl, but it's a true story and an ongoing uk scandal. Good if you want more lives getting ruined over nothing and zero accountability.

Blue Valentine is quite grim
you beat me to it, anon.
Realizing you are the safe fallback option for a woman is really one of the darkest moments in your life
>Blue Valentine
because you'll never really have her. It's great. You never make her cum as hard as that other guy. You'll write sonnets and spend nights awake thinking about it, but never fully confronting it out of fear of the truth. Nobody ever gets what they want except israelites apparently.
Synecdoche, New York, even if that dogfricker almost ruined it for me by being obnoxious about it.
Same for me. No other film is really close to that level of brutal honesty about how mediocre life is.
The others that come close are I'm Thinking of Ending Things, A Serious Man, and The Square.
Also liked the movies by that Turkish director like Winter Sleep and About Dry Grasses
>even if that dogfricker almost ruined it for me by being obnoxious about it.
huh?
Not him but maybe he is talking about YMS? He did a bunch of videos on it and he has kinda weird takes about animal consent
The funniest thing is how casually he says it. It doesn't sound like a joke. It sounds like he truly beliefs dogs can consent to fricking humans. Furries are subhuman, this world is ending, sodom and gemorrah frick all of you.
I really like his content because he talks about good films instead of farming superhero rage bait
But yeah his takes on animals are legit schizo. He basically says animals can't consent to being held as cattle and we still do it, so that is equal. If you follow that train of thought the logical answer would be veganism and not bestiality.
YMS can't shut the frick up about how much he loves the movie and about how it's all about how we are all gonna die and nothing matters, he literally repeats it at the end of most of his videos as a sort of catchphrase.
He never even finished the Synecdoche review

It's Roosevelt Island. That's where Fez Whatley used to live. Ron and Fez called it "moron Island" because I guess it's full of tards.
Eden Lake
>Eden Lake
Frick this movie. I got so pissed off watching it, I'd never watch it again. I felt like shit by the end. Also Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Came here to say this. There are probably "worse" movies, but nothing has come close to reproducing the feeling I got watching this film.
I just watched the trailer, seems like the typical horror flicks I would watch with friends at 10 years old. Is it really that bad?
Aftersun , such a beautiful film
Agree it was excellent in every way
The ending was one of the worst ive ever seen. Wasnt surprised either because it was written by a woman
>le my personal womanly dyke trauma should be centerpiece of a film about a dude with a soul crushed beyomd repair
That wasn't the vibe of the movie at all. If anything it was a perfect picture of how men can suffer horribly inside and not show it to anyone, how they might show some vague signs through self destructive behavior.
If that's the give you got unironically go outside
pretty much, it was one of the best of the year and I hate women
>film about a daughter trying to make sense of her father's suicide is about le dyke trauma
god i hate emotionally illiterate morons like you
Yes, the best film I will probably never watch again. It's absolutely devastating.
>2022 film
>directed by woman
Shan't be watching that
it's actually unusually empathetic to men
>Aftersun
Just watched this after seeing it in this thread. It's sad in the way that life is sad. I liked it, but didn't find it as devastating as
, relatable maybe. Not sure how I should feel about that.
Movie: Grave of the Fireflies.
Documentary: Dear Zachary
Zachary is such a moronic fricking name. I am never gonna watch the movie because of this gay ass name.
Don’t watch it because it’ll make you hate humanity even more than you already do.
Yea the shitty editing when the crazy lady kills herself and the baby fricking made me hate people more
For me it's Ran. But I understand it wouldn't be for others.

Jesus Christ what the frick
How does she have a boss at 13?
She's a babysitter.
yeah that's one of the worst movies i've ever seen. kept watching it just cuz the girl was hot
yeah that sounds moronic. If she was a temp it might've worked, but how does a 13... you know what no. I'm done. Frick this nascent shit.

I remember watching Ikiru like 8 years ago and thinking "wow I've been wasting my life living on autopilot I can't end up like this"
now 8 years passed and I am on track to end up like that
Wasn't there a guy in the movie like me who was inspired at first only to return to routine the next day?

That's fricking grim holy shit
Don't tell me:

like afterwards it feels like it's impossible to go back to mindlessly browsing the internet and play video games and yet somehow it happens almost like you have no consciousness
I suppose that's the difference between people with drive and those without.
thats the beauty of the movie. you want to shout at them like the one younger guy that is mad that they just reverted, but he had change of heart early enough. as long as youre not old enough to fall back into the same old rutt, you'd best start today to set a new standard/routine, one which you might have to force at the beginning and remind yourself a lot, but once youre doing it long enough, it gets easier and then its the new routine.

OTOH there is a bit of sick Cinemaphile-tier humor when Alan Yates, psychopath that he is, is unable to suppress a smile upon the sight of the spit-roasted corpse girl. Easy to miss but it plays on-screen like gif related)
This or Grave of the Fireflies. Yes I know they're both basic answers.
