The scene is The Fall when Roy is tearing apart the story out of anger.

Othello was always my favorite, and I find it more tragic.

I feel it's more tragic because while circumstance is also a factor, it stems more from people's inner demons than random chance.

Elrond's life

His mom basically tries to commit suicide. His brother and he are raised by the people who murdered their friends and family, which led to them losing their mom. They grow to love these people anyway. One commits suicide. The other wanders aimlessly forever.

Elrond's brother chooses to be human, so they are parted forever. Elrond then hangs out with his cousin Gil-galad, who dies in the Last Alliance. Elrond finally marries the girl he's been too shy to ask out for centuries. She ends up attacked and too scarred to keep living, and goes over the sea.

Then his daughter chooses a mortal life with his adopted son. And, Elrond's sons don't go with him over the sea. It's not definitive but it's entirely possible that this means they choose to be mortal too, so he loses all his kids.

Seriously, this guy needs a hug.

Almost anything but I didn't think it was tragic, just stupid.

I don't mean that the story was stupid, but that the whole thing was due to soap opera style coincidence and character stupidity which mostly bored me.

I've said before that I think David Irving's career is a great tragedy. Ron Rosenbaum has a good account of it in Explaining Hitler.

Hitler loved to burn documents. Very little survived to document how the Holocaust was planned or carried out from the perpetrators' perspective. With so little to document Hitler's role, Irving proposed that he played no role at all, standing by while his underlings orchestrated the crime.

Irving was laughed out of academia for this theory, but he found a devoted audience in neo-Nazis and white supremacists who were eager to clear their idol's name. He openly disliked them and claimed he was just using their resources to support himself while he tried to salvage his reputation, but the more time he spent talking to them, the more his ideas began to overlap with their ideas. In time, he became the foremost historian of the Holocaust deniers, openly debating mainstream scholars with neo-Nazi rhetoric.

After one rally, a neo-Nazi gave him an old document and told him to "keep it safe." It was a letter from one Nazi to another, the first known written evidence that referenced Hitler's role in overseeing the Holocaust.

As extreme as Irving was, he was still a historian, and it wasn't in his nature to keep such a find hidden. He released it along with his own analysis, concluding that the author exaggerated Hitler's role in order to cast blame away from himself. Historians' consensus is that the letter is accurate, but even after all those years of scorn, Irving was able to turn away from the most likely answer and leave his hypothesis unchallenged.

Irving's reputation will always be a joke, even more so now that he made such a significant contribution and refuses to accept it. To me, that's the essence of tragedy--victory and failure intertwined into personal destruction.

That scene in 'Legends of the Fall' when um...Brad Pitt's character is trying to free a calf from a barb-wire fence, and is having a flash-back to his brother dying and ends up killing the calf. It just breaks your heart.

Gankutsuou. Tragedy layered over tragedy layered over tragedy-- and I loved that it was from Albert's point of view, starting with his meeting the Count. That was a really smart place to start the story, I think. Plus all the little (and big) differences between it and the original novel really made it work as its own thing, and damn did it strike my heart.
