Everyone says the Notebook was really sad but i never saw it. can anyone tell me why?whaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I don't want to give away the story but basically it's sad because the story is told as a "retelling" of something that happened decades before and it's revealed later in the plot why it's being retold and the ending itself is fitting. Here are the spoilers.
[spoiler] Allie and Noah, characters in the book fall in love during one summer but because of social tensions, their relationship is disrupted and Allie goes on engaged with someone else. After seeing an article of Noah in the paper building what he considered to be his dream house, she decides to go back to him. The later part of the movie reveals that the narrator is Noah and the elderly woman is Allie and that she's suffering from Alheizmer's and that Noah is attempting to regain her memory back and he does so for only spurts of time before she loses her memory of her love again. Eventually she is sent to the hospital and the final scene shoes Noah going in and sleeping with her with Allie remembering their summer romance together. [/spoiler]
Did anyone see Dancer in the Dark with Bjork in? It just doesn't let up. Also, Gummo is about as bleak as it gets and definitely not one for cat lovers.
The Last Samurai is fairly depressing when all the samurai's are killed by the machine guns, and then the white dude helps his buddy commit harri kari on the battle field. Also, The Aviator is kinda depressing cuz they spend the entire like last hour of the movie on his mental illness which is REALLY depressing.
