>>217229306I go out of my way to not watch depression-focused or misery-porn films
>>217229945Good for you. I did the same with Gore porn movies and shows. Ahem, American Horror Story.
>>217229452that movie is more painful than it is sad
>>217229306this movie fucked me up
>>217229945Based, me too.
>>217230012gore, sad themes, etc can be good when they're used for some greater point or as part of the storysad movies that are just unrelentingly nihilistic for no greater point other than making manic depressives feel sadder, like Leviathan, are stupidgore-fest that are just hours of watching innocent characters be brutalized for no reason, like AHS or anything Rob Zombie has made, are the same way
this one gave me existential dread. also, the road is misery porn.
>>217230098Movie makers are trying to convince us that there is an audience that enjoys excessive "uncomfortable scenes", cringe, gore, and main character torture. There isnt. They just like making people uncomfortable. Best example is BJ Novac talking about The Office. His favorite episode that he made was Scotts Tots, the most cringe and uncomfortable episode. He LOVES the fact that he caused so much cringe and discomfort, not even caring that people regularly skip the episode. I also stopped watching Black Mirror for this reason.
