The Elephant Man
No explanation needed, for those that have not seen it, it is a classic. Monty |

Another film I'm amazed I forgot is the Truman Show. I haven't seen it for a few years now, but I used to watch it all the time back in my late teens, and I remember always having a tear in my eye at the final outcome. More specifically, when Truman asks Christof "Was nothing real?", and Christof replies, "You were real. That's what made you so good to watch." I don't know what it is about that exchange, but it's always touched me, deeply.

Not-So-Hopeless Romantic

Quote:
Ashton Kutcher gets out his dad's movie camera while hiding under the desk in the psychiatrist's office. He watches the tape back to when he first met Kaylee (I think that was the main girl's name), he then time travels back to that point and whispers to her "If you ever come near me again I'll kill you". This made her cry and walk away from him. Thus Ashton Kutcher never befriends her, never falls in love with her, and doesn't hurt/kill her. He then is shown living a normal life and burns his journals so to never go back and try again. At the very end, he's walking down the sidewalk and grown up Kaylee (Amy Smart) walks past him, she briefly turns around as if she's seen him before but shakes her head and walks off. Basically, this ending was happier because he lived and realized he could not be with her and be happy so he had to seperate from her for good. That's basically the whole ending, and I do feel this was the better of the two. Even though it is a bit happier, like you said, you can still taste that bleak/depressing feeling.

The Best Character on the Show
|
I saw The Truman Show when I was fairly young when it was in theaters. I remember it, even now, as a movie that really touched me just because of what it was about.
The movie Metropolis was something that also got me near tears because of the end. I don't mean the 1920s Metropolis by Fritz Lang, but the anime that's somewhat based off both that version and Osamu Tezuka's manga. I found the ending fairly heartrending and, while there's still hope at the end of it, it's still this really bittersweet feeling when all is said and done.

Yeah that's on right now. Neat movie, but I'm afraid I wasn't moved by it.
