1984
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Think about challenging the 'reality' that the government needs to be true (so wrongdoers can live without the guilt that lies/abuse/corruption naturally cause)

The Herd (1978).

It's kino though.

Uncut Gems is pretty depressing, but mostly rage and anxiety-inducing.

>>212962457

The herd is really good and deep. Guy wrote it while in Turkish prison with 70 other people in his holding cell.

The Tree of Life but only if you don't believe in an afterlife. Having faith must be so comforting.

idk try Funny Games

>>212962568
That movie sucked ass desu. It was 3 deep 5 u

>>212962599
It's just little snippets of life. It really isn't that deep. Maybe the extended cut with all the space shit is gratuitous, but it's a simple film showing how beautiful, cruel and fleeting life is. It's kino but depresses me immensely.

This more like a documentary, idk if i would count it as a movie

not a movie, but dead like me. Not necessary all sad though, but it deal with the aftermath of people dying. + six feet under.

love liza.

the one with brie larson got raped repeatedly and had a kid and was forced to raised him in that small room. forgot what it was called

I generally don't get freaked out by horror movies but watching Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway makes me feel like I've taken bad drugs and I'm on the verge of a breakdown. Something about those films just unnerves the hell out of me.

>>212961684 (OP)
If you stop and think about what's actually going on, this shit fucks me up like nothing else. Watching pic related = watching someone coming to the realization that they're dying and trapped in a dream they can't escape. It gives me intense anxiety, fills me with dread, and horrifies me, all at the same time. The chance that something like this could be awaiting all of us when we die evokes all those feelings, and yet there's always a strange optimism and excitement as well, knowing what that'd mean for you and your consciousness. It's my favorite movie of all time and every time I think of it/do a re-watch, my opinions and feelings of dying and what lies beyond changes.

I just watched The Grey Zone recently. Not "the most depressing'' or anything, people have already listed ones that are worse.
And warning, it's a holocaust movie so a lot of people are tired of that shit for a variety of understandable reasons.

But I really liked it. I heard it didn't get a lot of buzz because it came out 2 days after 9/11 and no one wanted more misery. Super underrated. Directed by Tim Blake Nelson, didn't even know he dabbled.

Muttered “oh my fucking god” and completely stopped responding to anything she said. Like an hour after the movie ended I made up an excuse for her to leave and drank half a bottle of vodka
She later told me I looked like I’d found a dead body for the rest of the movie

>>212966329
Such a perfect movie about what its about. Especially impressive how sensitive it is to traits this kind of guy often has, comorbities of this sort of character, even if they're sort of tangential to the core issues.

Him having classic asbergers sensory sensitivity, being easily disgusted and distracted and wanting a high degree of personal control over his environment when she's drinking the milkshake is such an astute inclusion and so well portrayed. That's exactly what its like. It dovetails with his central malfunctions and contributes to them-low tolerance for other people unless its totally on your terms is not conducive to happy, lasting relationships, but its not something every guy like this has. Its not inherent to the subject of the movie. But Its something a lot of guys like this have and its not something I've ever seen captured so well.

Also nails a very particular kind of decently high IQ neurotic fantasy. Like he's smart enough to be self conscious and constantly criticise himself in his own head, his problem was never that he was dumb, but his dissatisfaction in life compels him to live in a world of fantasy. So his fantasies are a negotiation between his self consciousness and his desires. He knows its unrealistic for him to be as smart as his imaginary girlfriend when it comes to her own field of study, so the fantasy goes out of its way to say yeah she knows more than him about it, but for a laymen he's impressively astute, he "keeps up"

>>212967240

>>212963594
I could have saved her.

honestly you could just follow a camera around me for a day/week and it would be on this list. as if my life itself isnt pathetic enough, it could include my thoughts that i say to the camera, and how my brain is a never ending dialogue of how pathetic and miserable i am, and how much i want to kill myself.

just following around a guy who is in his 30s, lives with his parents who he barely talks to, has never had any sexual or romantic experience, basically no friends and social activities, has a horrible job, no ambition or hope. it would be an extremely boring movie, but would probably be extremely depressing

what does "incel version of me" mean? also, there is a rambling anonymous youtube channel like this that already sort of exists. its this guy whos 46 and autistic. he has achieved nothing in life.and he's posted 3-4 videos this year where he goes on hikes alone and just rambles about how alone and miserable he is, how regretful ashamed and humilited he is, how all his brothers got married and he feels even more outcast in his family, how everyone he sees reminds him of how alone he is, his shit job means he'll never own anything, etc.

some say you watch miserable movies to appreciate the things you do have in life. For some the movies hit way too close (Im thinking about ending it)

It feels so pathetic being so miserable. As if I need someone to yell at me, "What the fuvk are you doing with your life?? You will be old and dead soon. Do something while you still can." I hear that voice im my head. I suspect I will have that panic attack someday relatively soon. Ive recently lost all of my friends. Lifelong brothers. Because of my failings as a person. Who makes new friends at age 36? 36. No friends. No lover. It feels deserved. Dreaming and wishing is terrible for the mind.

The movie is about a real-life murder that happened in Taiwan and we’re immersed into the context of why it happened — the Westernization of the country at the time, the parents struggling to recover from the civil war with China, kids joining gangs to find a sense of community. The romance in the movie eventually falls apart and the way the murder happens and how the kid and his family suffer for it is soul-crushing. The movie makes a point to dwell on it in a tragic unhappy way with absolutely no lightness

Literally just finished this one and highly recommend it. A surrealist Americana film in the vein of David Lynch or Terry Gilliam, it's a coming of age tale where a boy learns that humans are realer than any monster we imagine.

No. Art is meant to be a reflection of human truth, even if delivered in a surreal or absurd fashion. Things die, we lament, and often there is no answer but continue to keep living. Innocence lost, time wanes, and another hair falls from anons head.

She's a Brit in 1950's Midwest. The boy believes she's a vampire because kids start dying, but vampires aren't real.

>>212981632
This film is interesting because it's unassuming. Of all the actors only Viggo truly had a career after this film; the director only did one more film in the 90s after this and since he mostly does theater and has no reputation you would never look at this movie and assume it's a classic American Gothic diamond in the rough. But it is.

What the actual fuck.
>A woman named Katja gives birth to an infant that two mysterious figures immediately behead. Depressed and nearing his final days, Katze decides to meet his old friend, Brauth, to go to an old house where they hold a dark past. They meet two sixteen-year-old girls, Melanie and Bianca. Together, they enter a bar where a woman, Anja, joins the group. While on their way to the house, Katze shows signs of an undisclosed illness.

>Once the group arrives to the house, they settle in for the night. The next morning, Katze, Anja and Brauth spend time in nature and await for the arrival of a mysterious individual. Katze makes parallels between the past and present as he prepares for what’s to come.

>Later that night, Heinrich, an elderly artist who claims to be a dead man arrives at the house, accompanied by a young woman named Clarissa, who is tied to a wheelchair. Clarissa can only excrete through a urine bag or artificial bowel outlet. The protagonists begin to consume alcohol, opium and cocaine and think about different philosophical approaches during the same evening. Katze, Brauth and Anja reveal their nihilistic nature to the two girls, claiming they wish for there to be no life after this one and will not be missed after dying. Then Katze, using a scalpel, deals cuts on Anja's breast as she vomits semen while cutting herself under the enthusiastic look of Brauth and the perplexed facial expressions of Melanie and Bianca.
And the rest is just as unhinged with rape and other insane shit.

Indeed. I watched Way of Water and was in bliss the whole time. I've never, ever in my life been so engrossed in a film. When it ended and I had to resume my MISERABLE life, I felt like suiciding then and there. Fuck it.

People will think I'm meming but I'm a hundred percent serious. This one has no point, no artistic value, it's just 2 hours of a fucking sick Jew director raping, killing, humiliating a character that lonely young men identified with, the same young men he and his tribe want exterminated, and showing you what will happen if you dare rise up in ANY way against the ZOG. It's extremely depressing and heartbreaking how powerless we all are.

>>212983717
Yeah and the world responded by calling this one a piece of shit. All is right with the world, nothing to be upset about.

>>212983717
At least it cost him

>>212972093
?

is the twist that you aren't the centre of the universe and your gf doesn't actually love you? wow, must be brutal for teens to watch i guess.

>>212983717
It's depressing in a meta way. This movie was made out of spite and vitriolic hatred.

*mogs your western slop*

>>212983664
Kek you liked that shit? A fucking space cat-fish teen drama disguised as a scifi epic?

>>212983717
jokes on them, i still enjoy the first movie. and i was never going to see the second one ever since the popstar was announced for it.

>>212983717
Never saw it. Saw the first one 4 times in theaters. Im glad the faggot got upset about his first.movie connecting with people that he hated and went on to make a terrible sequel that no one liked out of spite. Seething faggot

>>212983783
Sincerely doubt he is affected because he's a Jew in a Jew industry.
>>212983848
I love the first movie and still identify with the Arthur Fleck in that one. The ending was the last time we saw Arthur. THE END. The sequel is what Arthur was laughing about in the first one. That's how I think of it. End of story. Arthur killed a psychiatrist in the first film, broke out of Arkham to face Bruce/Batman and thats it.
>>212983816
You can't put anime over Hollywood while using western internet schizophrenic slang. Talk like a human.

>>212983887
I did too. I loved the first one, it was truly something special. I identified so personally with Arthur's plight in life as did so many other young guys. Perhaps the fact it spawned a community of sorts is more important than the movie itself.

should update this

>>212983928
Me too man dont worry just imagine how mad he had to be to make a bad movie on purpose solely dedicated to attempting to undo what he did with the first. Its actually hilarious. Be happy.

>>212983977
The only ones that fit the title and are good are:
Clean, Shaven

Indeed. He ruined his career and life because he couldn't put his fucking phone down and stop caring about fringe internet communities. An embarrassing self-own of biblical proportions. It's all fiction anyway, I can just selectively choose what it "real" to me or not.

>>212984058
Exactly. Like when I imagine I am a socially competent well liked person that doesnt walk around his house alone screaming at himself and hitting his head as he does, ya kno?

>>212984030
I agree some of them are black comedies and probably shouldn't be on there but no Fire Within or Landscape in the Mist?

>>212984141
You can't just blame Todd, you also have to blame Phoenix. The infamous showers scene was his idea because he's a sick fuck who revels in playing misery porn characters who get raped, tortured, humiliated, etc. The Joker sequel was just a Joaquin Phoenix trauma session. The first movie was a film with a clear concise point.

Cast a giant shadow.

>>212984310
I don't know, man. Joker was his biggest, most famous, only Oscar-winning and beloved role and he has DESTROYED that role's legacy forever. That's a huge fuck-up.

>>212966329
I need to rematch this because i didn't get it the first time apparently unless im getting trolled by the mass replies

>>212984353
I understand and do agree with your point. But still, a movie doesnt have to be Oscar worthy for me to enjoy it, and he has great range. I still like his work. (Reminder I havent seen the 2nd joker so that could be influencing our differences in opinion here)

>>212984430
Here's a (You) so you keep on living your miserable life in deep pain and misery.

Man. This story reminds me of the time i was in Japan and I was walking down the street and saw the most beautiful aryan angelic young woman walking and crying and so I waved at her and she was talking to her mom but stopped hesitantly and I maintained eye contact and waved again and she got off the phone and I asked whats wrong and she said she had just broken up with her boyfriend and then we talked for 45 minutes there in the sidewalk about everything and it was like god had finally rewarded me for my good behavior and she was my gift and she even said "I can't believe this is happening i cant believe we met" and it felt like an actual fairytale meeting and so he went home and texted her and she said "I didn't think id ever find love again" and so he responded with huge walls of paragraphs love bombing her at 3 am and then she woke up amd said "uhm im actually a lesbian" and then blocked me. I regret that.

This, and it's not even close

great thread. I'll take a look at all of these.
I want to feel pain and depression

It's Such A Beautiful Day by Don Hertzfeldt almost fucking broke me.

>>212984990
I feel like a hard lesson I've learned is that women are approached by men like this (and me) in the same way you or I get approached by beggars. It's obvious these homeless guys are suffering, and you have the means to help them, but it means you're going to be stuck supporting them and having them suck everything they can out of you. One of the most humiliating moments of my life was when a long term girlfriend of mine said soon before dumping me "I'm tired of taking care of you", because I knew she was right. Any sane person isn't going to want someone around who's going to be a burden on them, and guys as love starved as us are blaring siren alarms unconsciously that scream "I'm going to make you miserable"

>>212961684 (OP)
I've never watched it, but I've read the summary of dancer in the dark, like pretty much like everything that happens in the movie beat by beat and that sounds like one of the most depressing movies ever.
Are there more downright depressing movies that deal with other subject matter? That's darker and more depraved sure. But I think the story of a woman slowly going going blind and mad and trying to make money to support herself and her child. That's also potentially about to have her same disease and it's it's just a lot. It just doesn't end happy. I mean like I think the decayed gets like surgery so she won't end up like bjork. It's not a happy ending. One of the few times that I read a plot summary on Wikipedia and was like damn that that sucks

>>212985372
Yeah man. Its really, really bad. The look ive gotten from women once they realize im that kind of guy is like.. horrified or repulsed or something. I cant quite tell. Can you tell me? But its something very bad.

>>212974684
They are supposed to make you feel miserable.
Miserable pieces of art are the artist forcing your eyes open to view his version of the world.

Came here to post these.

>>212985451
I mean just imagine that you're a woman who offered some guy your body, the most intimate thing you can offer him, and then he can't perform, loses emotional control and screams at YOU about it
I don't know if there's any fixing us, bro. We just aren't worth the trouble. It's why the movie hits so hard, it doesn't let us off the hook. I'm getting pretty deep into middle age now and realizing it's just over.

>>212985640
>I'm getting pretty deep into middle age now and realizing it's just over.

oh YEAH, JESUS CHRIST did she ever

Maybe not super sad but super bleak and hopless. I love it but don't wanna watch it again. Those are the best movies

>>212985738
Extremely important question and of course he replied yes

I'm like that and had loving parents. But I can see how this would be in the minority.

Yeah soon after that oneitis thing I tried drinking myself to death. Been sober for over a year now.
>oh YEAH, JESUS CHRIST did she ever
Yeah mine too. :^) were fucked lmao

But yeah to add to this ive been a severe alcoholic my entire adult life and lost all of my friends recently because it finally caught up. I havent seen my mother in roughly 9 months and dont talk to her. She sends me letters that I dont open and throw away

I haven't seen anybody beat alcoholism without becoming religious and boy howdy is that not an option for me

>>212985738
How do people even remember enough to answer that question?
I couldn't tell you about a single conversation I ever had with any of my parents, and I don't even have a particularly bad relationship with them. Is this normal?
I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my episodic memory.

>>212986034
Like very other biological mechanism, they operate for ultimate good. Reproducing with the weak will only bring misery. Your hate is a coping mechanism.

>>212986063
>How do people even remember enough to answer that question?
Uh, because of the violent trauma those moments cause? I can remember conversations with that bitch where her eyes were staring holes of deep hatred into me like lava lasers
I realized just this year that my earliest ever memory was of her being carted off by cops for threatening to kill me, lmao
AFTER she'd already killed my younger brother
And they let her out of the mental hospital anyway
Thanks guys

>>212986052
>haven't seen anybody beat alcoholism without becoming religious
I tried it at first, but it was moreso a response to the hypomania I developed after sobriety for a few months (i hope this does not happen to you). Now I just dont drink because I dont want to die before my dad. Only time ive seen him cry is when I woke up on the hospital bed after trying to drink myself to death. So I wont touch it.
>>212986063
This might be a good sign that you've never experienced serious trauma or a bad sign regarding your memory. We remember these moments because of how exceptional they were in how negatively they affected us at the time in pivotal moments in our lives. They are scars. They don't go away.

Dude fuck wtf where was your father

>>212985322
I remember thinking this movie was really interesting when I was 15. I should watch it again.
>>212985210
I gave this movie a shot and it is the most unintentionally funny movie I have ever seen. The guy stealing her money and the court scene where that lawyer is talking shit about her is something you would write if you were a writing for a sketch comedy. You can just turn it off when she gets to prison. I would encourage anybody to watch this so you know I'm not just being edgy. It's really funny. Don't bother with the rest of lars von triers shit.

>>212986280
>Dude fuck wtf where was your father

Love Liza is genuinely not very good and also really gay. I get the feeling these threads attract the younger anons.

>>212986333
Damn dude.. if you wanna share any stories id like to read.

>>212986368
Love Liza's good. You're obviously too young to remember when it came out. It and Owning Mahoney were the one two punch of enjoyably miserable PSH character study vehicles before he really built his reputation as a big deal.

Since this is a movie thread after all, I recently watched a fucking masterpiece about brown psychotic women called Silip: Daughters of Eve
It's Filipino and absolutely rocked my world and I emphatically recommend it however you can find it, it's fucking depraved, literally a top 10 movie for me and I've seen thousands

>>212986656
Ill watch it for you. Thank you.

>>212986656
I just looked this up on Google, and I got a bunch of results from porn websites like TNAflix. Is it a thinly-veiled erotic movie or something?

>>212987124
It has an insane amount of sex, it's the subject of the movie
it ends with the protagonists getting raped to death
do not watch if you are prudish, but it's a masterpiece in any case

>>212986423
None of that refutes the fact that Love Liza is a total waste of time movie for fart sniffers.

>>212987425
I'm going to sniff your farts and then call you a faggot for allowing it, and everyone will agree with me, faggot

The fact that this is based on a true story hurts the most.
