Cinema can evoke in the viewer a whole palette of emotions: from loud sincere laughter to almost hysterical sobs. The choice of these emotions directly depends on the director, who determines the genre of the future cinema, and the choice of the film is completely and entirely the business of film enthusiasts.
Time of crocodile tears, or The most sad movie
Some people like to tickle their nerves and watch the horrors in groups, hammering at night under the blanket and shuddering from every suspicious sound. Someone just prefers to watch a movie in a fun company, so as not to focus on the quality of the acting and the script, but simply relax and laugh at the quality comedy. Someone likes to stock up on ice cream and chocolate and sobs because of the injustice that happened on the screen with the romantic hero of some melodrama. Fans of dramas, by the way, do not exist very much. They say that life is already too heavy to shed tears over the cinema. However, the fans of this genre will be able to tell the really sad film.
The dog is sorry
According to many modern film enthusiasts, the most sad film is "Hatiko". Every second spectator claims that after watching this movie for a long time he could not calm down and was in deep shock for several days. It is quite easy to explain this. More often than not, a person pities not his comrades or even creatures that belong to the same biological species as he. Usually people most of all regret animals. Many would prefer to give a piece of bread to a small homeless puppy, rather than a starving African baby. Some argue that the puppy is not to blame for his sorrows, but a person can always earn a piece of bread on his own. In fact, the reason is much simpler: the puppy is cute and pretty, a little African is not. Perhaps, that is why the Japanese film about the faithful dog Hachiko and his American remake make so many spectators all over the world sad and sad.
How can the Germans be sad
Ironically, a really sad movie can be shot including Germans, famous for their rigor and radicalism. A good confirmation of this is the film "The Life of Others". It's safe to say that "The Life of Others" is the most sad film ever published in Germany. It touches on many topics: the problem of relations between the powers that be and their subordinates, unemployment, the relationship between husband and wife, prostitution for survival, censorship in literature, and many others. The film tells the story of a subordinate from the Stasi, who once gets motivated by personal motives of the authorities to spy on writer George Dryman. He hears every word that is pronounced in the writer's apartment, so he becomes an involuntary participant in the life of Driman and his wife. At one point he becomes deeply sympathetic to these people, so in his spy reports begin to appear gaps and understatement. The film not only significantly breaks into a tear, but also makes you think.
Jared Leto and his requiem
The most sad film in the genre arthouse - this is undoubtedly the "Requiem for a Dream." Its content is known even by those who have never watched this film. Earlier, "Requiem" was elevated to the status of cult cinema, so every viewer at least approximately knows what it is about. Then the rising star Jared Leto drew the attention of the masses to this film production, which is now almost considered a bad form not to know about "Requiem for a Dream." The movie tells us about what people can bring drugs to. The film has one storyline, but four central characters around which events develop. Each of the characters has its own reason for using drugs, but the outcome is the same for all. If it were not for tough footage, scenes of violence and sex, this film could be shown in schools to completely ward off the younger generation, even from the idea of drugs. The images that can be seen in this film are completely discouraged from eating tablets for weight loss or once again to drink sleeping pills.
Indifference is the worst sin
The saddest films, the list of which is given in this article, are concentrated in large measure on everyday situations, of which the whole life of an ordinary person is composed, and this makes the viewer even sadder. Russia and France joined forces in 2003 to release a film with a nice name "Babusha". An impressionable person will have a lump in the throat from just one name, and a well-written annotation can be moved to tears. The film shows how indifferent we are to our already elderly parents, grandparents, in spite of how much they have done for us. Grandma Tosya once remains with nothing and is forced to seek shelter, but only now her own daughter died, and grandchildren did not hurry to take grandmother to themselves. As much as they loved grandmothers in childhood, her grandchildren forgot that she devoted her life when she needed just a roof over her head. This movie is undesirable to look at night, as the viewer risks sobbing all night or urgently zasobiratsya to visit his grandparents.
Love sorrow
Of course, for real romantics need a special list, listing the most sad films about love. Here you can safely put such pictures as "Head in the Clouds", "Diary of Memory", "One Day", "Where Dreams Lead" and "Atonement". "Head in the clouds" will delight the stunning cast and will certainly cause the viewer to call his beloved. "Diary of Memory" is often cited as an example when it comes to the topic of the best films about love. The story of how blossoming beautiful feelings for each other among representatives of different classes, will show how strong can be the bonds of love. In the film "One Day" a completely unexpected plot twist was used, because of which the viewer for the first time will find it hard to believe in what is happening. "Atonement" is a kind of military drama with an impressive timing that tells us that war and death can not defeat love. The film "Where dreams lead" will appeal to lovers of esotericism or just people who believe in life after death.
Sad Londoner with brown eyes
English actor Jim Sturgess picks up such roles that he will soon become a real dramatic actor. Many of the films with his participation can make the viewer feel fun. One of these films is "Ashes". Unfortunately, "Ashes" has not yet been translated into Russian, but has every right to enter the top 10 of the saddest films released in the UK. This is a story about how a son kidnaps his father from a psychiatric hospital and spends time with him on his way back home. During the journey, such facts are revealed in the biographies of both characters, which completely change the subject declared in the annotation and force the viewer to pound his teeth with experience. The best sad films from Sturgess's filmography were also reserved for the Heartless. This is not quite an ordinary thriller with stunningly sad music, the streets of London and a charismatic protagonist. The ending of this film can not be released for a long time, therefore it is not recommended to watch this picture for those who do not want to spoil their mood for the whole day.
The story of a disabled toddler
In the top of the most sad films, you can also write Irish movies "... And in my soul I'm dancing." The story of the friendship of two disabled people who are struggling to live on their own, without relying on the help of orderlies, will not leave anyone indifferent. The magnificent game of James McAvoy and Stephen Robertson and a very soulful script, as well as a completely unexpected ending can make anyone pour crocodiles tears. Critics say that these tears are deliberately forced by the creators of the film, but the picture does not lose its artistic value. It would be nice, of course, that this film would cause the film-fans not only a passive feeling of pity, but also encourage them to do something. For example, "... And in my heart I'm dancing" may well inspire someone to do charity. People who need help exist not only on the screen, they exist in real life. But those who need our help in reality, we usually do not notice, instead of worrying about the fictional characters.
Drama of the Lumberjack
Sometimes it's amazing to the depth of one's soul how truly unpopular the truly talented and the most sad films can be. To tears, for example, can bring the "Woodcutter" with Kevin Bacon in the title role. The stated subject, however, does not cause anything other than disgust for the protagonist, but the viewer will change his mind when he traces the development of the plot. The film tells about a repentant criminal, who served a prison term for seducing minors. The creators of the cinema do not justify such people, they just show their feelings and say that a person can change if given a chance. Kevin Bacon remarkably played his character, not afraid of career prejudices and statements in the spirit of "looked in this role organically." If the viewer does not deliberately catch himself thinking that he sympathizes with the child molestor, he will certainly feel up to tears.
