Re: Sad/depressing movies

[personal profile] skeletal_history 2017-03-12 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
My favorite sad movies are movies in which the sadness just...feels so right. Like the story couldn't have ended any other way, the tragedy was telegraphed from the beginning, but the characters needed to suffer these consequences so it feels correct and just for them to end up unhappy.

The best example I can think of is "The Wings of the Dove" -- I never read the Henry James novel, so I don't know how faithful of an adaptation is, but I loved the movie. If any two of the love triangle had ended up happily together, I would have been outraged (OUTRAGED, I tell you).

Then there are the movies like "A Single Man," which leave me sobbing as the credits roll and then depressed for days afterwards. I don't knowingly walk into those if I can help it.
