Hi there,
I recently saw the movie: Black Swan. Good picture, good acting! One thing that stood out to me though was the fact that this movie is kinda dreary. I don’t think I have ever seen the sun shine in that movie. Everybody seems to hate one another and there is just an overall really negative vibe going on.
It suited the movie perfectly. So I was wondering if anyone knows of any other movies where the setting is just depressing/dreary for no apparent reason*.
- To which I mean there is no direct reason a character (or story) should be sad or depressed. I hope I am explaining this well 🙏 An example would be Saturday Night Fever.
Buried with Ryan Reynolds
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
The Butterfly Effect
I think there’s a clear reason why the setting would be depressing for ‘the boy in the striped pyjamas’
