Not from grief - from the hopelessness of it all. ‘Cuckoo’s Nest’ hit me the same way - only Jack Lemmon's character hit me harder in the gut. Don't know why. I was a high school kid pretending to be in my 20's and getting away with it. I inhabited the edges of Hollywood life - not really part of, not really; but hanging out with the notably notorious and convincing myself I belonged. Life should have rocked - but it didn't. I lived amongst the ‘almost’s’ – as in ‘it shoulda been’. So ‘Save the Tiger’ absolutely killed me dead.TFLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532885255909756360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-54928943194615323172008-08-13T21:35:00.000-04:002008-08-13T21:35:00.000-04:00It's All About LoveThe Saddest Music in the WorldT...It's All About Love<BR/>The Saddest Music in the World<BR/>The Passion of the Christ (made more bleak because its intention was to inspire hope and faith)Mike zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158138863301039389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-89251143707218284922008-08-12T23:02:00.000-04:002008-08-12T23:02:00.000-04:00Requiem for a Dream is the first that comes to min...<I>Requiem for a Dream</I> is the first that comes to mind. I had to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium after I saw it to feel good about the world after seeing it the first time. <BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, there's also a Corman-produced film made in Peru that fits your "bleak" definition: <I>Crime Zone</I> not only is supposed to be a B-flick based on <I>Bonnie and Clyde</I>, but it also features a post-apocalypse. (And I auditioned for it way back when! My ex-girlfriend plays a robotic bank teller! Whee!)Middentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829095129849712488noreply@blogger.com
