On the other hand when im watching a movie for the first time I kind of dread the possibility that it will end in such a way, not giving closure and leaving you a bit gloomy. Cause assuming the actual movie is also of high quality I know I will waste a lot of time thinking about it.
Im talking about movies like Memento, The sixth sense, Gattaca, Inception etc, they all leave it somewhat open to interpretation and are bittersweet depending on how you look at it. To compare, Life of Pi which I saw recently was also ambiguous and had a deep message but the ending is still a happy one regardless how you look at it, so it didnt move me in the same way.
What do you guys think? anyone else feel like this?

2. Se7en
3. The Mist
to name a few of the anti-climatic movies that left me feeling depressed.
Depressing movies are moving? Not necessarily I think because depression usually isn't very moving.
Movies like Schindler's List, Anne Frank etc. though while reflecting death aren't necessarily depressing as they still give us hope that mankind has some good left in them.

Pan's Labyrinth is another example, a touching movie with a bittersweet and cryptic ending.

lol the shower scene? You mean the part where he gets raped?

Writers always do that, it's a cheap shot really. Get you to connect with the characters then kill them off to tug at your heart strings. I think Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and even 50 First Dates were pretty moving movies with no depressing endings. Though Inception was the one that made me think the most.
But then again, 'moving' usually means some brave, selfless act or a heart wrenching moment. So there's bound to be a few depressing moments here and there.

lol no, the part where they take down all the nazi stuff, and he's in the shower at their apartment. he has a flashback to a time when there was no pain, time of innocence. CREYS!
