Ruined my week.

Just to realise how little and short lived we are.

Beautiful but terrible.

These might ruin your week then.

I don't get the reputation this movie has. Sure it was sad but it never came close to bringing me to tears. No worse than any other documentary.
>>
>>67043247
Did you know the ending?
It wasn't particularly well made, but it hurt.

>>67043107
Both seasons of Herzog's On Death Row are pretty depressing.
>>
>>67043351

On Death Row I can tolerate because it also shows the good in some people, and is basically a human matter.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams showed a problem bigger than ourselves (time) and how it absolutely drowns us.
>>
>>67043351
I didn't know the ending. Yeah it hurt and was unexpected but it didn't hit any harder than other docs. Not for me at least.

Watched this last week and thought it wasn't as good as everyone was telling me. It wasn't day ruining, it was brutal but people have told me they cried
3/10 documentary

What other documentaries made you react the same? That's kind of the point of the therad

>The Bridge
Director Eric Steel staked out for a year under the Golden Gate Bridge filming 23 suicides. The footage was then compiled along with interviews from family, friends, witnesses, and survivors
>The Children of Leningradsky
A community of homeless children living hand to mouth in the Leningradsky railway station in Moscow.

>>67041982
It was alright, ending was pretty much expected with the way the narrator was explaining how the woman was acting but I didn't get really anything from this other than a, "okay".

The Louis Theroux one where he goes to the Hospital in LA.

>>67044120
I couldn't understand how that black guy who was dying (no race joke, he's just black) had a hospital bill somewhere in the millions and Medicare was covering it. I wouldn't have thought that would happen past a certain point.

What did you think would happen? The government would leave him to die? The hospital staff would work for free?

>>67043851
Not that guy but I felt the same way. I can't say I "didn't like it" since it was a documentary and not made for any real entertainment purposes but I don't get why it's seen as such an epic story. It's sad for sure but there are tons of stories like that all over the internet and tv. Just go watch an episode of Cold Case Files, it's almost exactly the same thing just narrated by Bill Curtis.

Not even just from documentaries, but like from those random top 10 lists people will make about spooky shit and serial killers.

>>67043219
>Bulgaria's abandoned children
Yeah, made me feel like absolute shit. It seems like some of the children got better homes after though, that's nice.

This. I don't know how Louie manages to sleep at night.

Let the Fire Burn was pretty fucked up. No one came out of that shitty situation without being disgraced.

Waco: Rules of Engagement was just infuriating. It's incredible watching the court proceedings afterward and all of the pro-ATF and pro-FBI arguments come from democrats, and some particularly vile democrats at that. They got away with killing those people because Clinton was in office.

>>67041982
never thought I could be angry at chill as fuck Canada until I saw this doc

the story is truly absurd, like some nightmare of a lonely man with no self confidence.
Literally he got sperm jacked and then murdered by a crazy ex girlfriend
