Help /b/

I have yet to find a movie as deep and depressing as requiem for a dream.
I have figured out the movie I seek would probably just be one where the main characters lives just get worse, never better, and then tragedy.
A scanner darkly was pretty good as well so help me out /b/ros with some suggestions.

I guess this is a movie thread as well

Leaving Las Vegas is pretty depressing. Nic Cage is an alcoholic who gets fired and moves to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. Elizabeth Shue is a prostitute who falls for Nic Cage because he's the first guy to be genuinely nice to her. It's not as soul crushing as Requiem for a Dream, but it's in the same league imo.
>>
>>688637160
Requiem fucking sucks, Anon. Nothing but shamelesss pretentious tripe. The only character I actually felt really bad for and connected with was the mom character. I fucking hate Jared Leto and his character was a piece of shit in this movie. Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connolly were great, but jared fucking leto rekts it.

If you want a more down to earth and less melodramatic drug movie watch Trainspotting. It's a drug movie and its definitely weird, but it's got a lot of heart where it counts.

And if you want even worse? A Serbian Film. You cannot go wrong with A Serbian Film.

Melancholia is intensely depressing. After that, watch Leaving Las Vegas. I like to watch them back to back on repeat for 24 hours at a time.

>>688640006
That's fair. And if Trainspotting ain't your jam, A Serbian Film will probably work better you. Maybe not make you feel like complete shit but will probably keep you from fapping for a few days. Seriously, dude gets inject with a fucking horse aphrodesiac or some shit. I won't say more than that.

Or you could watch Caligula, but that was practically porn.

Another movie that's depressing and most anons could relate to, Taxi Driver.

lawdy no.

"They were gonna make me a Major for this, and I wasn't even in their fuckin' army anymore."

" I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter."

Goddamn, so fucking good. And to think this movie was a fucking mess during production for Coppola to pull it off. You can feel Martin Sheen's pain (because he did legit cut his hand during shooting of this sequence) and he was drunk as fuck during it too.

>>688641821

A Serbian film is trying so fucking hard that you have 0 relation to anything that's going on. Nothing is grounded in reality and it's just laughable. What makes you feel in a film is not just what's happening but what's happening to the characters that you RELATE to. This doesn't happen in a film where the main baddie is killed via a dick through his eye.
