I'll start
>>223982718I like this movie so following this threadMelancholia is another one
>>223982718I cant think of a movie more depressing than this one.
When I was a kid I was so excited to watch Fluke finally that I bought it outright when it was on VHS, then it turned out to be an extremely sad kids movie and I let it sit on my shelf and never saw it again. Ebert and Siskel liked it and they are evil for doing so.
>>223982718The Seventh Continent
>>223982718Im gonna watch it right now anons
>>223982718
>>223984825downloading it right now... don't have high hopes but who knows.

>>223983440Jesus, I remember Jack Frost doing psychic damage to me as a kid too, and reading this synopsis I realize it ripped off this one's premise but tried to market as a fun, heartwarming Christmas movie for the family, instead of a dog movie.
>>223984943no subtitles, movie in some alien language....
>>223982718>have everyone stand on one side of the spaceship>run full speed into the opposite wall>space ship slowly turns around/thread
Maybe not as bleak as others here, but god damn did this movie make me sad as fuck. Especially if you've ever had a friendship like the kids in this film had. I used to have that and it fell apart over frankly some bullshit I still to this day cant wrap my head around why we couldnt get past.Just reminded me how carefree I used to be.
>>223984825I can tell you live in a shit hole.
>>223985516I can also tell I live in a shit hole:(

>>223985516I can tell you're mean
>>223984825WHAT WAS THE SPACE OBJECT????
>>223986519Alien space debris is my guess.
>>223982718Just finished it. It was very cool, but not misery porn or anything. Pretty logical sci fi space tragedy stuff if a colony ship drifted off course forever and DIDNT have cryochambers. I dont get how it would ever be the most depressing thing ever. Being lost in space isnt some revelitory concept.
>>223986865same, just finished it. it is far from depression inducing kino, it's just a shitty spaceship poorly made. it was interesting but far from what op suggested
Not exactly depressing, but its absolutely miserable. Constant horrible suffering the entire movie. I loved it.
>>223985034download subtitles from somewhere and apply them while watching it on VLC. Just google [movie title] subtitles
>>223985034>>223987221Just add VLsub to vlc and you wont ever need to manually search for subs
>>223984825gross. what fucking language is that? and why does it use our american letters?
Map of the Human Heart. 1992 with Jason Scott Lee.Oh major grimdark vibes. Gnarly ending.
>>223987615German. The whole movie i; lesbians, shitskins, and niggers get lost in space. They all turn into a feminist cult and die. The end.
>>223986519It was a counterweight sent from Earth that they were supposed to use to turn the ship around. Instead they took it inside the ship, ruining the whole thing>that’s why it was super heavy, super dense, and impenetrable
>>223988109Niggers, jeets, and dykes can’t into physics. That tracks
>>223982718This film was too shitty to have any major effect on me.
>>223982718Noi the Albino
>>223986865>>223986940I'd say it's more bleak than depressing. It's like The Road. It's also a pretty great movie.

>>223989249Incredible film about depression, but not really depressing. Might be his best movie
>>223988194>it's more bleak than depressingYea, I think thats a good way to put it.
>>223989675might be
once again posting brimstone
this was pretty depressing.
this was one fabulous movie
it was devastatingly bleak and depressing
brutal and cold
Afonya (1975) and Georgiy Daneliya in general.
>>223985606Man this movie is so mixed for me. It does a lot well but it feels like it's one revision away from truely being a great movie. Idk if anyone has a film they feel that way about.
>>223989377It was stated/implied many times that the builders cut corners.
Pretty much anything Russian
On The Beach 1959
>>223993057Fantastic choice. A great collaboration between the Aussies and the Americans.I did enjoy the 2000s miniseries too. Both were absolutely bleak as fuck towards the end.The book isn't too bad either.
i expected a very different movie, this was just depressing
>>223993508Only good answer so far in this thread
>>223988109>It was a counterweight sent from Earth that they were supposed to use to turn the ship around.like connect to it spin around and fly back? i don't think it works in space.
Blue Balls 3: Attack of Gigachads really made sad
>>223993594(You) don't work in space, fag
>>223993262Here's the cure, anon.
Best most kino depression kinema I've seen is Texhnolyze anime. The first 1-2 episodes are weird, but it's amazing and depressing as fuck.
Here, I got the final boss of supreme depression masterpieces for you guys
>>223994333My English teacher in high school had this poster. I understand it's parable-like stories related to the ten commandments?
Anything by Roy Andersson. Particularly Songs from the Second floor. Ive seen more miserable films but Roy perfectly showcases how unendingly bleak, alienating, and monotonous life can be in a very beautiful way.
>Robert Pattinson plays a mentally retarded man who is left behind by his brother after being presumed dead during an altercation in which Guy Pearce’s car is stolen so he takes Pattinson hostage on a road trip to get his car back>oh it’s also in the sparse, post-apocalyptic Australian Outback
>>223994388Loosely, yes. Some chapters are a lot more obvious which commandment they symbolize while some are a bit more abstract. But yeah, that’s kind of the idea but every single episode is basically a tragedy in and of itself. The visual storytelling is unmatched
I really don't understand what's so bleak about this movie. Earth is literally the same as that ship. It's a rock everyone is one just floating around in space with no purpose. Yet no one here is going crazy and suicidal because of that fact, we make the best of what we have and our reality and that's that.When you think about it your life is just a series of rooms, how many people did you meet, how many rooms have you been in. You will probably only meet tens of thousands of people in your life and only speak with thousands of them, you will only enter in hundreds of rooms for extended periods of time.The spaceship isn't small enough to make a clear difference in outlook and feeling at all. I think the movie is irrational and people wouldn't react like that at all. Otherwise small island nations like Malta or Maldives wouldn't work at all.
>>223993252For me it’s 3>1>2I know most people will disagree
Kanał (The Canal)Human Condition trilogyThe Pawnbroker
but only S1.
>>223995453Tranny fag
>>223982718You just watch these kinds of movies once...
>>223993921I don't work at all.
>>223988087That's clearly not German you moron. It even says SVERIGES (Swedish) Television.
>>223995479I love this movie, it's kinda bleak but very comfy. Just thinking about it I get this calm feeling
>>223982718None of these movies from this thread are depressing at allPicrel was so-so>Manchester by the Sea
>>223982718Movies that make you depressed and miserable or movies that wallow and confirm your depression? There's a difference OP. If it's a movie that makes you feel terrible and shitty, then White Bird in a Blizzard wins. Fuck this film for making me feel terrible.
>>223995713you'd probably like Solaris (1972) anon
>>223995754manchester by the sea is about depression but its not depressing, it is a hopeful film
>>223996033thanks anon, I've been meaning to watch it for a while now, I might watch it soon. Stalker was also comfy in a similar way although I've only seen it once
>>223995754>nuh-uh this is not depressing!>posts baby's first sad movie
OP movie had a good idea but didn't flesh it enough. It's also very anti-human, but given that its about a lesbian woman it makes sense she would fall into a sex cult and get pregnant as soon as there were signs of any danger. I didn't like it, and won't recommend it irl
>>223994500This is what I mean by anti human. So much sci Fi is written on the pretense that "without the trappings of society you will revert to animal." Like no, we BUILT society while still being animals. Shit doesn't suddenly collapse because it gets harder, we DESIRE civilization and find structures to create it. Very misanthropic about human nature.
>>223989947I can't see the appeal in this one, boring therapy slop
>>223984864>dear sneed
>>223996683I wrote you but you still ain't callin
>>223990509oh yeah this onenot even the school janitor shit at the end, just the first half with the girlfriend's family and the slightly off interactions. captivating
>>223993262Great poster. Summarizes the mood.
>>223994499https://www.criterion.com/films/28661-dekalog says:>This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, Dekalog focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, Dekalog arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives. Also presented are the longer theatrical versions of the series’ fifth and sixth films: A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love.I've only seen the two mentioned at the end of that description, and they are great. Bleak, but great.
>>223994500>Earth is literally the same as that ship.No, it's not. It's figuratively the same.
The Painted BirdLiterally the most miserable movie I can think of.It's 3 hours worth of a kid getting raped, tortured, psychologically abused and it's filmed black and white to boot.(fun fact, I sat behind Adam from YMS when watching this in the theatre)
"Nil by Mouth" (UK 1997), the only film the great actor Gary Oldman has directed. I only tried to see it once, but had to leave about one-third through because it was so depressing.Google summary, in part: The film is a gritty, semi-autobiographical portrayal of a dysfunctional working-class family in South London, featuring themes of domestic abuse, alcoholism, and drug addiction.Significance: The movie is noted for its raw realism and contains the highest recorded number of uses of the word "cunt" in cinema history.
>>223996574Agreed anon, glad I see someone else sharing this rare view on life.
>>223996957It's literally the same as that ship in the sense that it is floating aimlessly in space with no escape. Not that the shape/size is the same. Maybe the sentence should have been "Earth is (in) literally the same (situation) as that ship"
>>223996634I know its cliche to say but that ending is still the most depressing one I've seen
>>223997187Shut up, idiot.
>>223994500You must not have thought about this very long. The ship is the size of a town, if you get bored of it, you have nowhere to go, there is also no sunlight, and no chance for anything substantial to ever change. And it has very finite resources. They all die in like 20 years. Earth is very big, with so far, millions of years worth of resources. You can relocate somewhere if you get bored of something, and with billions of people, new things happen all the time. Being stuck in a town with a finite lifespan with no sunlight is not the same as being free to roam on a developed planet.
>>223997187This is the dumbest shit I've heard all day. Maybe even all week.
>>223997423The vast VAST majority of humans that ever lived died within a couple of miles from where they were born and never left their small village. The movie shows the spaceship resource issues being a thing because everyone is too demotivated to perform maintenance and upkeep on the systems."No sunlight" is harsh but the movie is scandinavian, it's not like those people don't historically barely get any sunlight anyway. Humanity has had plagues that wiped out the majority of your loved ones and 50-66% of all people you have ever met that led to civilizational collapse and humanity didn't somehow become nihilistic and suicidal to the point of killing our species. History is one big tale of disease, warfare and struggles and humanity thrived despite all of that. So people sitting in a spaceship with nice modern amenities and no real threat to their livelihoods should be comfortable and make the best of things.There are people living on isolated islands in the pacific ocean with no way to get off smaller than that ship being fully content right now. The entire premise of the movie is unrealistic. I don't think people would bat an eye after maybe a 1-2 year mourning period which is more about never seeing their loved ones again than it is about their actual day to day living situation.
>>223982718lilja4eva but its too on the nose
as i get older, i care less about realism and movies dealing with heavy subjects. the capeshitters got it right on that one, unknowingly.
>>223982718didn't like execution like with any euro movie it there's just not enough money for full immersion but it does carry the weight.
>>223998136This movie isn't realistic at all. I'm the opposite, the older I get the more I want movies to make me feel something instead of being a simple distraction. I can get distraction from youtube and doomscrolling. I want to feel something real for once.
>>223998136they did not, it goes the opposite. Capeshit for children and the mentally fragile.
>>223995713>>223996430>comfyit just struck me that the comfort comes from emotional relatability/commiseration.these melancholic movies serve that catharsis.
>>223998353Normal people have real life for deep thoughts and experiences. Movies are toys like other forms of entertainment.
>>223996547That's towards the end and it's clear nothing matters at that point. You're just watching it play out. I think the movie is commenting on how modern people can't just live for the sake of living like our ancient ancestors did. You take away purpose or meaning and we will lose the will to live altogether. I don't think it's correct at all but an interesting premise of despair and depression as a societal disease rather than at an individual's level.
>>223982718The Babylon 5 episode "Deconstruction of Falling Stars" was this for me as it sobered the whole series viewing experience.
>>223996634Does it say something that the most remembered scene from this movie is when those guys drown in shit?
>>223985484this isn't depression this is anxiety over fatherhood

>>223998803that's a very small part of it, stop repeating what others say
>>223998803Well anyway, depression, anxiety, angst, cosmic terror, all of it is good.
>>223986865>>223986940Depends on your perspective. The final scene hammering home the message of the futility of human existence in the face of the infinite is pretty striking even if you don't agree with it.
>>223999688Yeah, that last shot was a real shock to the system. I'm not a doomer but you knew from the first few minutes that all of these people were fucked.
>>223994467What a range on Pattison. He can play a scumbag exploiting his retard brother and a retard brother himself.
>>223996574I think its all just cyclical between the savage craving civilization and the civilized craving savagery. Grass is greener and whatnot.
