I Wish Movies were More Realistic

[nanook12]

For me too many movies have happy endings that do not reflect the reality of life. More movies need to end with failure, broken dreams, and soul crushing depression. Some argue that no one would go to see movies like this, but I would go simply for the fact that they wouldn't be as fake as the crap we are constantly peddled today. Show the world how it really is.

Disney endings always leave me with a sour taste in my mouth, like a phony imitation of the real thing.

There's more than one genre of movie. Don't want to watch movies with Disney endings? Well then don't.

That said, the movie industry is, mainly, an entertainment industry which thrives on feel-good stuff. Not unlike any other entertainment media. Most people prefer comedies or lighthearted action stuff, to go with their sugar-happy pop music.

Also, of course, there's the element of escapism to take into account; people watch movies/play games/read books to escape from reality, the last thing you want whilst doing so, is being reminded that tomorrow is monday and you have to go to work or something equally mundane.

Reality makes pretty boring special effects. The movies would be boring..

Maybe that's why things are so screwed up today. Everyone is trying to escape or ignore reality, when what they really need are the hard facts shoved right in their face. Fuck your silly cat videos, go watch some news about the events and atrocities happening in the world right now.

There are a fair deal of films being made in that kind of style, you just need to pick what you decide to watch more carefully.

My real life does not contain failure, broken dreams, or soul crushing depression.

Gravity would have been much more boring if they made it realistic.

What facts? Technology is getting better, that is all that matters.

Are you saying that you have never failed at anything in your entire life. I would not be afraid to call you a liar on that account.

I think the most you'll be able to find from the movie industry are a few with bittersweet endings, a good example of this being Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams...at least i found it bittersweet. Another movie that i found that has a bittersweet ending is No Tears for the Dead. Its Korean and its on netflix with subtitles. Obviously I can't tell you the ending and spoil it but I've watched it twice now and both times it's made me cry at the end.

You realize that the world is more peaceful now than it has ever been, right?

The film section you are looking for is "Documentaries". They rarely end up happy ever after.

You should go see a doctor, your mentality is neither healthy nor normal.

[Bryntrollian]

I watch movies as an escape from reality

Boko Haram killing or selling off like a hundred school girls, all kinds of savagery being committed by ISIS, U.S. drone strikes killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, retarded amounts of income inequality, massive labor exploitation in third world countries, greed, corruption, and so much more shit that it would take a month just to list it all. But dumb fucking Americans would rather just escape from reality and watch "entertaining" cat videos instead of addressing the very real problems that the world faces. So again, fuck your "happy feeling" cat videos they accomplish nothing. If people were more aware and informed about the realities of the world, then it would probably be a lot better place to live.

That would seem to imply that the entertainment industry hasn't always worked this way. Escaping reality for a few hours does not exclude people from being aware of the darker parts of this world. Some people are going to stick their head in the dirt and ignore realities, but they'll do it regardless of the types of movies that are released.
