Discussion What Movie depicts your inner state the most?

[JadedBeing]

I can relate to the protagonist in "God Bless America" very much. He is tired of his job, his life and most of all: people. If you haven't watched it, he basically tried to CTB but decided to kill as many people as possible first.

Then theres "The Machinist". The main character is tormented, can't sleep or eat. He is hallucinating because of it. At the end of the Film you get to know why. I really enjoyed the dull colors and the soundtrack too.

"I stand alone" 1998. This movie was something else. I really saw myself in the guy. He hated the World for fucking him up since birth. Really sad and just crazy movie.

"Monster" with Charlize Theron is in my top 3. Just watch it. It's so good.

Office Space.

That film is just how everyone feels about modern society, but is too afraid to say. Peter Gibbons is the personification of how we are just a slave to the system, we wake, work then sleep. He just wants out of the system, he just wants to do nothing. Society calls that being a selfish, entitled, lazy, communist, etc. Yet we spend 90,000 hours of our life working or 2000 weeks out of out 5200 (assuming you live to 100) so is really that much of ask to not spend 40% of our life in a routine that dehumanizes us. That film changed me, and to anyone who has not watched it, its a great film that I would bet anyone on SaSu would relate to.

I'm not too sure which one represents my inner state most as I don't watch movies often, but the last movie I watched was an old 1982 animation called plague dogs, you can watch it for free on YouTube. Although, warning, it's extremely bleak and grim.

Falling Down

"I've passed the point of no return, Beth. Do you know when that is? That's the point in a journey where it's longer to go back to the beginning than it is to continue to the end. It's like... do you remember when those astronauts got in trouble? They were going to the moon and something went wrong. I don't know, somebody screwed up, and they had to get them back to Earth. But they had passed the point of no return. So they had to go all the way around the moon to get back-and they were out of contact for hours. Everybody waited, breathlessly, to see if a bunch of dead guys in a can would pop out the other side. Well, that's me. I'm on the other side of the moon now... out of contact, and everybody is going to have to wait 'til I pop out."

Once Upon a Time in America (1984)

Gladiator (2000) - "Are you not entertained?"

Filth. A twisted dude's life spirals out of control. You can see the havoc the kind of malignant depression the main character has wreaks on both his own internal mental state and on the people around him. His cynical worldview doesn't make him a sympathetic person... it makes him a real piece of shit.



Also honorable mention to Repo! The Genetic Opera. I feel like I don't own my life and it's about to be repossessed for lack of payment.
