There have been more than one. It took years before I could prepare myself - to watch Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. They were very well done but they made me feel sad.
Both were reality and I knew what went on - wasn't good. I have to agree. Sophie's Choice was a downer for me.
I have a deep need to watch - only feel good movies. I also have to read feel good novels - unless they are - like history of the North and South etc. I feel too deeply - I remember watching an old movie and cried myself to sleep. I really shouldn't say I remember - cause I can't remember the name of it - but it was a sad romance.
Another - 'What Ever Happened To Baby Jane' - was horrible - with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. 1960's movie. 'A Streetcar Named Desire' - with Marlon Brando - was a downer too.
Fun question to think about. DeeJay - ---- and no - I wouldn't see them again.
I think, "I Want To Live" with Susan Heyward, back in the 50's, is the worst. But maybe there are others, and I haven't seen them. I thought that, "Misery" with James Caan and Kathy Bates, was very depressing.
I had hoped for a good ending, but it didn't play out that way.. I didn't like the ending of Titanic, with the lead characters. Being there were some true in life males who did survive, I had hoped it would have had a better ending, than the real one for most all of the male passengers. Even the owner of the ship line, survived on a life boat and was one of the first to leave.
But as stated so many passengers died of freezing that did get safely aboard a boat. So it was the sheer luck of some, that got them to safety. One just never knows when their time will be up.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
