what is the single most devastating, impactful, emotionally damaging film ever created?

Plague Dogs

For me personally it was A Marriage Story because my (then) fiancee and I watched it and not long after she basically copied everything ScarJos character did in the film, right down to accusing me of gaslighting her. It was as if she had used the film as a template. It tore our family apart and forever destroyed our child's chance at a normal stable childhood.

I refuse to watch that movie. I would sit through just about any film before that.

>most devastating
Probably Grave Of The Fireflies
>impactful
Completely depends on the person and what you mean by "impactful". For me, it's a tie between Rocky and The Deer Hunter.
>emotionally damaging
I watched Waltz With Bashir a couple months ago, it was the first film in a very long time to make me cry. The ending where they show the archived footage of Palestinian mothers in Beirut weeping over the giant piles of dead children is one of the most fucked and haunting things I've ever seen, and the fact that it's only gotten worse since then is soul-crushingly sad.

although dear zachary is a documentary on a real story, what happened is so over the top tragic it doesn't feel real. its like a joke that the joker would write

It's just an overrated episode of 48 Hours. Like how could anyone watching it not know the tragedy coming? It's not even a shock.

It's like watching that one documentary and you KNOW the husband did it. It's absolutely zero surprise when you see the lead-up.

It might be this. It’s too well crafted and Haley Joel Osment is too good and that’s why there’s something really horrible about it all. Only this movie could make you feel like you’re an awful, selfish piece of shit because you feel love.

for me it's watership down tried watching it since i hadn't seen it since i was a kid
and my memories of the film had been repressed from the trauma it induced in me as a young fella

needless to say i couldn't finish the film

but i did watch plague dogs recently and yeah if you love dogs don't watch that film truly very depressing

weird how Waltz with Bashir left out how the Lebanese Christians only killed the palis because of an earlier massacre they had committed against them.

Tried seeing this years ago but couldn't get it anywhere. I'd call up every blockbuster in town asking if they had it but they'd all either tell me to fuck off or hang up on me. I think they I was too young and couldn't handle it, based video store clerks looking out for me

And in terms of just fucked up I would say The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes, which is a 1970s Stan Brakhage documentary of graphic autopsy footage and little else. I've watched gore so it isn't too shocking, but something about the way it's presented is very stark and real and I think the purpose of it is to put life in perspective to the inevitability of death.

>Lebanese Christians only killed the palis because of an earlier massacre they had committed against them.
Both sides committed massacres against each other in that war, but Sabra and Shatila was particularly awful for being the largest and perpetrated when the supposedly "most moral army" was there with the stated purpose of stopping the bloodshed.
>Palis love to poke the tiger then cry victim
But enough about Jews

Aniara got me worse than anything else I've ever seen. Some anon recommended it to me only describing it as a great hard scifi film based on a Scandinavian work with no other details or warnings. I went in basically completely blind. It fucked my entire week up. I'd imagine most people don't get hit so hard because they probably have some expectation of what's to come but I didn't and it got me good.

Why watch something that is miserable and wretched? What are you, women? Only women watch shit like this because they get off on it. Watch cool shit like Dude, Where's My Car and a Jason Statham movie. Pederast.
