which movies is more sad? the titanic, elephant man or forrest gump?

Question

which made u feel more upset

Answer 1

Titanic is very upsetting in every way. It's so sad and tragic on such a large scale.

Answer 2

Elephant Man because it was the best movie. Titanic was decent but, I don't believe you can fall that deeply in love with someone in like 2 days and Forrest Gump was sad when Jenny died but, Forrest Jr and him being together in the end made it happy. The Elephant Man died alone in a room shut off from the outside world after years of ridicule and harsh treatment. I cry everytime I watch it. Man's inhumanity towards man.

Answer 3

The Titanic mad me very sad, because of the fact that many husbands died. Poor families could not get on the rafts. Plus DiCaprio died. The Elephant man was heartbreaking too, for I'm a mother, and it would affect me a whole bunch to see my child like that. I would still love my child, but I would feel so bad that he would be treated harshly. Forrest Gump was a good movie, but it did not affect me as much as the other two, for it was not a true story.

Answer 4

I haven't seen "the elephant man", but the movie that made me more upset was "Titanic". Don't get me wrong, Forrest Gump was terribly sad. So many bad things happened to him, but he always prevailed. I think the reason why Titanic upset me so much was because its was so tragic! Jack's death was inevitable, but you're always left thinking what their lives would've been like had he lived. They could've been the happiest people on Earth. Its just sooo depressing that their romance was so shortlived, and that he died the way he did.

Answer 5

The Elephant man, because Joseph Carey Merrick known as John Merrick in the movie was an actual person.

While the death of so many on the Titanic is more tragic, Merrick had to actually live in a time when people with abnormalities lived in "freak shows".

Gump was a sad story, but entirely fiction.

Answer 6

Titanic

Answer 7

Titanic is the saddest, at the moment when the ship is pointing down in the water, finishing off its sinking. The people fall and hit parts of the hull and keel. There's such an awful, helpless finality to it.

The Elephant Man was hard to watch: the abuse, the slave trafficking, the mob's fear of Merrick is a truly nightmarish depiction of man's inhumanity to man. But he rises to heroism in his dignified cry in the train station. Moreover, Dr. Treves' inspiring compassion, his blindness to Merrick's deformity in order to touch Merrick's soul within, is amazing.

I didn't find Forrest Gump particularly sad. God, The Universe, whatever you want to call it, clearly watches out for the marvelously simple Forrest, who's gifted with 3 essential survival skills: an ability to obey orders without questioning them, intense loyalty, and an ability to choose right over wrong. He inspires Lt. Dan out of the sewer of despair. But it's frustrating to watch his loyalty work against him as he remains faithful to his impulsive, self-serving, distraction-addicted, and yes, beloved Jenny, who does little more than cope and act out, given her dysfunctional childhood. But he gets the gift of a son from her, and his sense of doing the right thing gets him, and his son, through.

Good question!

Answer 8

I think it would be The Elephant Man . Anthony Hopkin's character summed it up when asked if the man was mentally challenged and not knowing for sure,he expresses hope that he is ( Ostensibly to make the reality of his condition more bearable). John Merrick was in fact a beautiful,intelligent and poetic soul trapped by his deformities and disabilities and wanted so much to be normal (as evidenced by his intense desire to sleep like normal people) that he was willing to die to make this happen. His story makes our average, everyday problems pale by comparison. I think his bittersweet death was more heart-rending than the awful tragedy portrayed in Titanic because it spoke to the part of us all that longs to find a place for ourselves in a world not of our own making.

Answer 9

Titanic. It was just plain sad that they wrote in the stupid love story. But sadder still was watching the vivid and more historically accurate portrayal of the real events. For the first time I found myself saying, "Why would anyone want to make such an accurate film?"

Answer 10

Forrest Gump made me bawl
