Were I built with concrete and mortar I would be impervious to the plights of the characters that portray to me a fictional screenplay, derived from the inner workings of a mad man who causes the emotions to ignite in a wonderous display of feelings.
I am flesh, therefore I find that movies that relate too closely to the concept that fate is inescapable draw too close to the statistics that something terrible will happen to an individual and they will do all they can only to fail in the face of it all.
A few movies I cannot watch (WARNING SPOILERS).
The Departed
In this movie we pit two informants against each other, both unaware of the identity of the other. The conflict tends to be suspenseful as you watch the two come close to discovering the other. However, the "hero" in this story loses, and badly. An anticlimatic end as well. Shot down and nearly forgotten for the last 15 - 20 minutes of the movie. It leaves you feeling as if good actions do not go rewarded because the villains were taken down by other villains or heavily chaotic individuals.
Dead Presidents
The epitome of inescapable fate. A young afro-american man goes through life, gets worse, gets worse, gets worse, then winds up in prison after trying to rob a bank to make life better for himself. All of his friends die or get arrested as well. If you are below the middle class level of america and want a movie that makes you feel as though you are trapped there and will likely die from it, here is a movie for you.
The way of the gun
The end message of this movie? Those who live will die. A lesson I do not believe I really am required to learn as I'm quite aware I will die. Unfortunately a gruesome and likely painful death, only to be forgotten within 2 removed generations of my existence.
Gattica (sp?)
In this story, we see the outcome of the Battletech universe brought to widescreen. If you are born a freebirth (Not genetically altered to be efficient) then you are screwed in life because they won't hire you for work nor will you be healthy enough to outswim your brother in a lake. Movies like this only point out flaws to people and make it seem as though you have to cheat to survive in the world.
Carlito's Way
This movie makes me feel as though our second chances are also a waste of time. Because in the end we will be screwed over by the guy we should have returned evil to when given the chance. So the moral is, if you want to live, be evil.
Empire
You are rich, but you're still a hood rat. You should have known better than to believe your money mattered. You should have known better than to think with money you could live a better life. You are born to a class that accepts you and if you deviate from it, you are going to die.
And many more...
