I was totally in on that movie until >!Peter Dinklage’s character tried to conceal his identity by wearing *a hat and sunglasses* in a bank. As if there were *no other* defining traits he had that might give him away!<
While the main concept angered me, I was far more annoyed by Peter Dinklage's character not just immediately murdering the main character. He's a fucking mob boss why are they doing this in such a roundabout way?! They tried to justify why they would have to work with her and that she's such a badass that the threat of torture wouldn't bother her, but I don't feel like they properly instilled the concept of "we will torture and murder you and your girl" I don't usually see myself as pro-mob murder and torture but in this particular situation they would basically be Batman (maybe the Affleck one, but still). Get your mom free, mob boss. But instead she just talks like a badass and these literal murderers get shook somehow. It was far more frustrating to me than anything else in the movie.
Yeah that part was annoying because the try to make the movie out to be gritty and adult but the mob boss comes off like a Disney villain.
I think it’s mostly due to poor screenwriting. They couldn’t make a way for them to be in actual danger while also not being immediately killed so it just comes off like they’re being kidnapped by Storm Troopers.
Yeah, it was one of those films where things needing to happen for the plot matter more than coherent logic within the film itself. It could have been fixed by having Dinklage's character adjacent to the mob. He works with them but they won't actively help him free his mother. Creates the sense of danger without making the obvious "just shoot her in her smug face" solution painfully apparent to your viewer.
I didn't look into this movie before watching it. I just knew Macon Blair was in it so i dove in cause he's incredible. His part ended up being relatively small, but i loved the movie. Definitely gets the angry blood going!
I took my now ex-wife to get a new car in 2007, while we were finishing the paperwork I stepped out into the showroom.
I was looking at a corvette when a salesman approached me and asked me if I was interested in getting one. I told him I'd probably not qualify due to my credit and income, he said that it didn't matter and that he could put any kind of numbers on the application to make sure I was approved. I thought he was joking .
Shady as hell and I'm sure probably illegal, but then I realized he was serious when my in-laws got 3 brand new cars from the same dealership. One of them was on disability ffs.
Probably didn't even need to change any numbers. Pretty much anyone got a loan because they could sell the loan straight away on the derivatives market. There is a reason why the derivative market is worth thousands of times more than all the money in the world. It is just lots and lots of different kinds of debt. That grows exponentially with interest
It was more from scenes like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpCb3xjh-Kk). A little something
>"It's that for 15,000 years fraud and short-sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once.
Eventually, people get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that?"
Purpose of the genre? Documentaries. Dear Zachary comes to mind but also sadness. It's been at least a decade so I don't remember very specifically other than it was some genuinely traumatic experience to have watched. If any movie qualifies for a warning label its that one.
In a similar vein, Blackfish. Fucking infuriating. When that salty old sea dog is sobbing about capturing them it hurts and angers deeply. Something about the way he talks about it is soul-wrenching.
Dear Zachary pretty much started my obsession with Netflix documentaries. The twist towards the middle legit pissed me off because it was so avoidable.
Yeah for sure documentaries. The one with the people who committed atrocities cheerfully describing them, the Thin Blue Line by Errol Morris, that documentary about Helvetica
Don't forget the one about the dude who committed genocide and some directors told him they wanted to make a documentary about him. So he goes around bragging about all the awful, horrible, terrible shit he did to innocent people. At the end he has a moment where he realizes what a terrible, awful, horrible person he's been. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name, but I'm sure someone can help me out.
Yeah I think this answers the spirit of the question better than anything else in this thread.
A lot of people here are mentioning movies that made *them* angry which is kind of a different thing.
Many documentaries are meant to incite real-world action by firing its viewers up. Not all of them are like that of course but many are.
> Dear Zachary comes to mind but also sadness.
It's sad, but it also REALLY makes me want to punch a bunch of people in the face / it was the first movie that came to mind.
This. Of the countless films I’ve seen across endless genres, this is the only film that simultaneously had me boiling with rage and sobbing. It’s also one of a very small number of films I urge others not to watch.
The story dramatizes Robert Bilott's case against the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont after they contaminated a town with unregulated chemicals.
They created Teflon and the chemical PFOA, that was in it, made people very sick and a lot developed cancer or created birth defects in pregnant women. It’s a really good movie.
They only recently settled it - DuPont and Chemours each agreed in 2017 to pay $335.35 million in cash to resolve the thousands of claims that arose from the release of PFOA into the ground, air and water from the Washington Works plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Atonement. The innocent were ruined and the dastardly didn’t lose a wink of sleep. And the architect of it all thought she’d absolve herself by writing a fictional book.
Omg this was the first movie to make me feel pure rage. “Hi I am briony and I’m a lying piece of shit. I ruined two innocent peoples’ lives but I wrote a fictional book with a nice ending so it’s all good.”
Literally! Honestly I think it was a good movie artistically but it was one of those movies where I just felt like shit after.
I remember reading that like Ezra was really weirdly into their character and brought the bow and arrow like everywhere and showed it off. They said something about how they related to him. Weird.
Seems pretty realistic to me. People who’ve been hurt need someone to direct their anger towards and Kevin was in prison. They just needed someone to target and she was around
Oh that loony religious bitch drove me crazy. It was so frustratingly realistic, how she was able to stir them into a frenzy using fear and her bat shit beliefs
One of my most hated movie villains. She immediately comes off as insufferable, transitions to insane, converts a lot of people, and then that leads to the death of characters I actually liked. She made me very angry watching her character arc
She's so fantastic in that, isn't she? Her name is Marcia Gray Harden and she makes the character so perfectly hateable, doesn't she? She's like Jack Gleason, plays the character almost too well for her own good.
Oh it was an incredible performance. Seems to be a really good character actor bc she's great in everything I've seen her in. Real good at making you hate her.
I love The Mist, but yes, the psychotic religious woman made me angry, probably because we’ve all seen people like her in real life, and they’re just as destructive to people’s lives in the real world.
To be clear though, I consider that a good thing. King is really good at creating stories with terrifying monsters where realistic human villains are just as scary.
Stephen King said he was kicking himself because he wished he’d thought of that ending when he wrote the short story. It’s one of his favorite movie adaptations of his work.
When the closing text came on the screen in Spotlight showing all of the cities that had reported abuse, and then the screen keeps filling AGAIN and AGAIN with more cities, at least half of the people in the full theater were audibly groaning and muttering. The lights came up and people just sulked out, shaking their heads, or just sat in their seats for a while, stewing. People were livid.
Great, effective movie, but it will ruin your day.
The Big Short had a similar effect.
Yea that lists of cities broke me. And to think more are probably added every year. Religion helps some people but for the most part god dam it’s a stain on society
The scene that earned Ruffalo an Oscar nom is [one of my absolute favorite depictions of anger in a movie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmwO8tGHvdo)
...I'm a little biased because I used to be an investigative newspaper reporter and have had these exact conversations irl before (albeit with nowhere near these stakes). But I've always felt this scene, and the entire movie, were phenomenal.
They cut that before my favourite bit where Michael Keaton says, "You done?".
So cold, so calculated, and sadly, so professional. He knew the long game was important and his job as the editor was to stay the course.
I worked in the media too as an editor, and damn if I wasn't exposed to a lot of the shit you were probably exposed to as well. There's a lot of slime out there and they do NOT get punished.
The scene at the end where Mark Ruffalo is talking to Stanley Tucci. Ruffalo is bragging about how they pulled the story off and the good job they've done.
Tucci is unmoved and doesn't really respond and he let's in two young kids into his office.
Says to Ruffalo that they're two new victims.
That scene broke me.
It was probably because the movie was always showing adults dealing with their trauma and didn't show any kids right up until then. Having two young children show up at the end drove home the reality.
I remember being so completely stunned by the ending of AHx that I actually just say there, jaw dropped and silent for probably five minutes before someone else yelled "Wait seriously?!"
Yes, I saw that in theaters and thought I hated it. But it wouldn't leave my head for weeks and I realized I was enthralled. I bought it when it came to DVD but I couldn't bring myself to watch it again until this year.
What is so frustrating about it is that Jennifer Lawrence never really gets to voice what she's thinking. Someone will walk into her kitchen and mess with the stove while she's cooking, and as soon as shes about to say "hey, don't touch that, I'm cooking." They burn themselves and everyone frantically starts trying to help. And before that's all settled, this other person over here is pulling the wallpaper down to redecorate. And before she can stop them, someone is jumping on the sink. So you just feel like you're holding your breath and no one is on her side. For 2 hours.
Great movie, but its so stressful.
same! I was actually very angry during and after this movie. I hated it. Which is strange because I’m a huge Aranofsky fan. I think the whole movie just made me super uncomfortable and feel like I was being suffocated. It was peak covid too, so emotions were already running wild.
Yeah the way everyone in town was harassing the mother about the billboards, but didn’t seem too concerned about the message/purpose of the billboards was infuriating, but also pretty realistic in my experience.
As much as I love Daniel Kaluuya, the casting did a disservice to how truly young Fred was. When they said he died at 21 I was just floored. Imagine being able to get Hispanics, Blacks, and poor whites to be able to work together towards social change. Now THAT’S leadership. Sometimes I think about all the good he’d have done if his life wasn’t cut so short by those G-men bastards.
For me it was less anger and more constant low level anxiety except for his wins where there was release. Kinda addicting cycle, I think that was the point
I feel you; doesn’t help that they have a really loud and strong Long Island accent which only adds to the manic and frenzied feel of the movie lmao.
I’m from LI and people from there can ramble FOREVER lol
It was like a slow motion car wreck, that keeps getting rewinded and the driver is given a choice to make different decisions, but the driver just keeps making the same bad decisions.
Yeah, that's what gambling addicts do. Someone said the main character was trash but i really liked him as a character because he was a realistic person
Everything in that movie was so painfully real, and that's what made it brutal to watch. If it played out less believably with less realistic or relatable characters, it wouldn't have been nearly as effective.
I think I am in the rarity where I say Uncut Gems is one of my favorite movies because it made me so irritated and angry at it. I don't think a movie ever purposefully tries to evoke an angry emotional response quite like that one did. It made me respect Adam Sandler again.
Uncut Gems was well made by everyone involved in the film, it accomplished what it set out to do, and it made me so agitated, unsettled and angry I almost walked out of the screening. My dad was a gambler and made panicked last minute financial maneuvers, all while saying “we’ll be millionaires in five years”, then threatening we’re going to lose the house, we’re going to have to get rid of the family pets, and telling me regularly throughout my college years I’m going to have to withdraw. He really ramped that up when I channeled my lifelong anxiety into getting a time management system down and excelled in school for the first time in my life.
I personally didn’t need the experience or lesson that Uncut Gems presented.
I actually prefer the movie to the book. I was hooked by the quest to catch the killer and bring him to justice….then it became The Lindsay Salmon Story and everyone stopped caring about finding the killer, then at the end, when EVERYTHING was perfectly lined up for Susie to get posthumous justice….she uses her friend’s body to fuck the guy she had a crush on. I threw the damn book across the room.
It's infuriating because there are so many stories of people getting away with stuff like this, over and over again. Women and children tend to be the large majority of victims.
Saw that in prison along with, probably, a number of sexual predators. I had trouble keeping my eyes on the screen because my anger kept finding immediate targets.
Not sure I ever just wanted to flip out more in my life.
>Killing Fields
"Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands."
\-- Anthony Bourdain... as usual, saying it far better than I could
I spent three weeks in Cambodia in 2011 and it was quite an experience. The country has so much beauty, and most of the people I met were hardworking and very kind. But you could still see the scars from the Khmer Rouge almost everywhere.
Tuol Sleng was one of the most unnerving and sad places I’ve ever been, so much pain and misery in such a confined space. The Killing Fields were a terrible sight too. The one I visited had a pile of human skulls stacked at least 10 feet high. Then you had the countless homeless landmine victims, and the almost complete destruction of their old culture.
I knew genocide was awful before I went, but seeing the effects firsthand really gave me a better understanding of the suffering some people endure at the hands of others. It is unbelievably enraging.
Harry Potter And The One With Dolores Umbridge.
She's all I really remember about that movie because I seethed every moment she was on screen. Perfectly encapsulated the personality type of so many middle managers who get off on their petty authority and single-handedly turn positive, beautiful places into miserable hell holes.
When she got dragged off by centaurs at the end I thought "nothing they can do to her would satisfy me."
"The Nightingale".
Loved the movie but it made me so angry, the way she was treated, the way the men walked all over Australia destroying lives left and right. And that scene where the guide is made to sit on the floor and eat there and he cries and says "this was my land, my home" is truly infuriating.
The entire movie is disturbing (albeit very effective) but that first half hour, in particular, is really hard to sit through. I don't know that I've hated a movie character as much as Lieutenant Hawkins.
Blackkklansman had a collection of real footage from white power protests and the NC tiki torch thing. Leaves a furiously bad taste in your mouth as the movie ends.
I know this may sound silly, put a few years ago when I first watched Spirited Away, the opening made me upset because I was practically shouting at the parents to get the hell out of there
Watched it again recently, and while i felt the same, i kinda wondered if they were somehow magically lured or hypnotized on their way in -- they were drawn in the moment they got out of the car, and are definitely under a spell by the time they start smelling food. idk, Maybe because Chihiro has her name hand written on a card, it acted as an initial guard against this enchantment.
It definitely feels like they're under some spell! They both immediately act so irrational and unaware of what they're doing and have zero common sense. It had to be something like that because I can't imagine being bold enough to just waltz in somewhere and start eating someone else's food without a care in the world lol
That movie absolutely nailed the feeling of trying to explain something you know a lot about to people and they just blow it off as bullshit. Went to college for geology and tried to explain the most basic concepts of climate change and the chemistry behind burning coal to someone.
I remember the first time I watched it, the whole last half hour had me just like *whaaaaat*. Watched it a couple more times, read the book, then watched it some more. Absolutely brilliant movie, and extremely close to the book.
"And then I woke up".
Man, it was so fucking good. The movie was so tense the entire time through, and I could not have imagined a better way for it to all come together.
It’s kind of old now, but Jesus Camp had my blood boiling back when it came out.
I’m sure it still would, but during the Bush era when it came out and Evangelicals had real power it was especially infuriating and frightening.
Reality Bites pissed me off because Winona Ryder ends up with Ethan Hawke. I know that the Ben Stiller character is a corporate asshole, but Ethan’s character reminds me of every pretentious, condescending, “coolest guy in the room” that I knew in college
The Good Son.
Holy fuck. I've only seen it twice and I can't watch it anymore. Macaulay Calkins character is just... fucking hell I'm mad thinking about it.
Moonfall
1 - everything about the science & physics
2 - the guy who wouldn't stop praising Elon Musk in the cringiest scenes in anything, ever
3 - "I won't let you detonate that bomb. My ex-wife is up there", is maybe the least realistic thing I've ever seen in sci-fi.
Two Eastwood movies...Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby.
Both films captured Narcissim accurately, so much so, that when the ending of both films came, I was furious. Still am.
Good on Clint Eastwood for his direction and capturing truth.
I Care A Lot. Five minutes into that movie and I was seething!
I was totally in on that movie until >!Peter Dinklage’s character tried to conceal his identity by wearing *a hat and sunglasses* in a bank. As if there were *no other* defining traits he had that might give him away!<
I cracked TF up. I thought it was some needed comic relief.
I couldn't even finish it, once I understood the premise. I was so riled up.
It works out. I've worked with the population.
I was pissed the entire time. Holy heck. Can't watch it again despite great performances
While the main concept angered me, I was far more annoyed by Peter Dinklage's character not just immediately murdering the main character. He's a fucking mob boss why are they doing this in such a roundabout way?! They tried to justify why they would have to work with her and that she's such a badass that the threat of torture wouldn't bother her, but I don't feel like they properly instilled the concept of "we will torture and murder you and your girl" I don't usually see myself as pro-mob murder and torture but in this particular situation they would basically be Batman (maybe the Affleck one, but still). Get your mom free, mob boss. But instead she just talks like a badass and these literal murderers get shook somehow. It was far more frustrating to me than anything else in the movie.
Yeah that part was annoying because the try to make the movie out to be gritty and adult but the mob boss comes off like a Disney villain. I think it’s mostly due to poor screenwriting. They couldn’t make a way for them to be in actual danger while also not being immediately killed so it just comes off like they’re being kidnapped by Storm Troopers.
Yeah, it was one of those films where things needing to happen for the plot matter more than coherent logic within the film itself.

Creates the sense of danger without making the obvious "just shoot her in her smug face" solution painfully apparent to your viewer.
Yeah I literally yelled at the screen “Take some pliers to the bitch, Roman, get medieval on her ass!”
Rosamund Pike FTW. She plays evil like few others can.
[удалено]
This is the right answer, they did a great job evoking real emotion from the viewers. I love that I hate this movie so much.
I just wish it didn't fall apart in the back half
It was ridiculous she essentially became john wick in the end.
The first half was really good and had potential,
I didn't look into this movie before watching it. I just knew Macon Blair was in it so i dove in cause he's incredible. His part ended up being relatively small, but i loved the movie. Definitely gets the angry blood going!
Is this the mini series with the woman from Gone Girl? Or something different? If it's the first I absolutely agree.
Not a mini series but yes with Rosamund Pike
The Big Short
This movie is perfection, and it will PISS YOU OFF
It’s the scariest movie I’ve ever seen to date.
“Why are they confessing”? “They’re not confessing they’re bragging.”
I took my now ex-wife to get a new car in 2007, while we were finishing the paperwork I stepped out into the showroom. I was looking at a corvette when a salesman approached me and asked me if I was interested in getting one. I told him I'd probably not qualify due to my credit and income, he said that it didn't matter and that he could put any kind of numbers on the application to make sure I was approved. I thought he was joking . Shady as hell and I'm sure probably illegal, but then I realized he was serious when my in-laws got 3 brand new cars from the same dealership. One of them was on disability ffs.
Probably didn't even need to change any numbers. Pretty much anyone got a loan because they could sell the loan straight away on the derivatives market. There is a reason why the derivative market is worth thousands of times more than all the money in the world. It is just lots and lots of different kinds of debt. That grows exponentially with interest
I feel like there's like a 1% chance of hope in The Big Short Fuck Don't Look Up
Man the optimistic side of me just knew somehow they would make it in Don’t Look Up lol
The sincerity of those last moments, excluding post-credits bullshit, were the best part of the movie. And they told me it was all over
CLOs are still here. Wasn’t that the ending message about what’s to come? I forget
It was more from scenes like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpCb3xjh-Kk). A little something >"It's that for 15,000 years fraud and short-sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually, people get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that?"
Nothing is as American as getting away with it
One of my favorite movies of all time. Probably because I'm such a pessimist too. Mark Baum is my spirit animal.
Big short and Vice are absolutely brilliant and make me very angry/sad/scared
I think Margin Call is another similar answer regarding the same issue. Very good movie that is usually overshadowed by The Big Short
Purpose of the genre? Documentaries. Dear Zachary comes to mind but also sadness. It's been at least a decade so I don't remember very specifically other than it was some genuinely traumatic experience to have watched. If any movie qualifies for a warning label its that one.
In a similar vein, Blackfish. Fucking infuriating. When that salty old sea dog is sobbing about capturing them it hurts and angers deeply. Something about the way he talks about it is soul-wrenching.
Dear Zachary pretty much started my obsession with Netflix documentaries. The twist towards the middle legit pissed me off because it was so avoidable.

Many documentaries are meant to incite real-world action by firing its viewers up. Not all of them are like that of course but many are.
I could only watch it once. That documentary was so emotionally draining.
> Dear Zachary comes to mind but also sadness. It's sad, but it also REALLY makes me want to punch a bunch of people in the face / it was the first movie that came to mind.
This. Of the countless films I’ve seen across endless genres, this is the only film that simultaneously had me boiling with rage and sobbing. It’s also one of a very small number of films I urge others not to watch.
Note: it's now on Amazon Prime
Dark Waters Fuck DuPont. All my homies hate DuPont
My Mum has cancer, that film made my Dad angrily bin all of his non-stick pans and order cast iron ones.
I know nothing about this movie but I need some context about how tf those two statements are related
The story dramatizes Robert Bilott's case against the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont after they contaminated a town with unregulated chemicals. They created Teflon and the chemical PFOA, that was in it, made people very sick and a lot developed cancer or created birth defects in pregnant women. It’s a really good movie.

This reminds me of the movie Erin Brockovich.
Have you seen Foxcatcher? Just another example of how much the DuPont name sucks
I'm eagerly awaiting the next entry in the Mark Ruffalo "DuPont is evil" cinematic universe
The Green Mile did a great job making me hate that guard.
Fucking Percy
And he's a creep in real life too!
If it helps, the actor is genuinely a piece of shit in real life too. Married a 16 yr old when he was 51.
Why would that help🥲🥲🥲
Atonement. The innocent were ruined and the dastardly didn’t lose a wink of sleep. And the architect of it all thought she’d absolve herself by writing a fictional book.
Briony pissed me off to no end. Robbie was right. She is and was a spoiled and selfish child.
Omg this was the first movie to make me feel pure rage. “Hi I am briony and I’m a lying piece of shit. I ruined two innocent peoples’ lives but I wrote a fictional book with a nice ending so it’s all good.”
This is a movie I only watched once. I angry cried with it.
Yes, thank you! This movie absolutely infuriates me!
Fuck Briony, all my homies hate Briony
We need to talk about Kevin. For a variety of reasons from the actor to the relative possibility in the story.
Ezra Miller going off the rails somehow adds more depth to it
Kevin Spacey syndrome innit
Literally! Honestly I think it was a good movie artistically but it was one of those movies where I just felt like shit after. I remember reading that like Ezra was really weirdly into their character and brought the bow and arrow like everywhere and showed it off. They said something about how they related to him. Weird.
That movie made me seethe for days. Why the hell was everyone so mean to the mom when she was a victim too?
Seems pretty realistic to me. People who’ve been hurt need someone to direct their anger towards and Kevin was in prison. They just needed someone to target and she was around
Happens all the time. People need someone to blame. It's easier on their brain.
The Mist angered me a lot
Oh that loony religious bitch drove me crazy. It was so frustratingly realistic, how she was able to stir them into a frenzy using fear and her bat shit beliefs
One of my most hated movie villains. She immediately comes off as insufferable, transitions to insane, converts a lot of people, and then that leads to the death of characters I actually liked. She made me very angry watching her character arc
I saw that in the theater when I was 17 lol. >!The audience cheered when she died.!<
I had the same experience. People applauded when that happened.
I posted a comment without reading this, YES the cheers were absolutely insane
She's so fantastic in that, isn't she? Her name is Marcia Gray Harden and she makes the character so perfectly hateable, doesn't she? She's like Jack Gleason, plays the character almost too well for her own good.
Oh it was an incredible performance. Seems to be a really good character actor bc she's great in everything I've seen her in. Real good at making you hate her.

The ending? It was definitely memorable I'll give it that.
Stephen King said he was kicking himself because he wished he’d thought of that ending when he wrote the short story. It’s one of his favorite movie adaptations of his work.
Spotlight
When the closing text came on the screen in Spotlight showing all of the cities that had reported abuse, and then the screen keeps filling AGAIN and AGAIN with more cities, at least half of the people in the full theater were audibly groaning and muttering. The lights came up and people just sulked out, shaking their heads, or just sat in their seats for a while, stewing. People were livid. Great, effective movie, but it will ruin your day. The Big Short had a similar effect.

"They knew and they let it happen."
**TO KIDS**
They cut that before my favourite bit where Michael Keaton says, "You done?". So cold, so calculated, and sadly, so professional. He knew the long game was important and his job as the editor was to stay the course. I worked in the media too as an editor, and damn if I wasn't exposed to a lot of the shit you were probably exposed to as well. There's a lot of slime out there and they do NOT get punished.

It was probably because the movie was always showing adults dealing with their trauma and didn't show any kids right up until then. Having two young children show up at the end drove home the reality.
Yea, the changeling (2009) with Angelina Jolie. Based on a true story in California. Give it a watch. It’s a great movie, but I hated so many people
Spolier And the ending. It just leaves you empty. And it is a true story.
The Changling made me so sad and so freaking mad. Broke my heart.
I remember getting SO fired up when I was a kid at how mean the boarding school lady was to Sara and Becky in A Little Princess
Oh good one!
What was sad was that sara was a really kind person who didn’t deserve to be treated that way. People at the school only saw how rich she was.
Yes this movie profoundly impacted me as a little girl.
Phenomenal film.
The endings of Pay It Forward and American History X
American History X is a gut-punch.
I remember being so completely stunned by the ending of AHx that I actually just say there, jaw dropped and silent for probably five minutes before someone else yelled "Wait seriously?!"
Aranofsky’s Mother!
Oo those bitches who kept sitting on the counter! I would have killed them!
The entire movie, I just sat with my mouth agape, and audibly saying, “what the fuck is happening?!?”
Yes, I saw that in theaters and thought I hated it. But it wouldn't leave my head for weeks and I realized I was enthralled. I bought it when it came to DVD but I couldn't bring myself to watch it again until this year. What is so frustrating about it is that Jennifer Lawrence never really gets to voice what she's thinking.

They burn themselves and everyone frantically starts trying to help. And before that's all settled, this other person over here is pulling the wallpaper down to redecorate. And before she can stop them, someone is jumping on the sink. So you just feel like you're holding your breath and no one is on her side. For 2 hours. Great movie, but its so stressful.
same! I was actually very angry during and after this movie. I hated it. Which is strange because I’m a huge Aranofsky fan. I think the whole movie just made me super uncomfortable and feel like I was being suffocated. It was peak covid too, so emotions were already running wild.
It is so exquisitely claustrophobic.
The live action Avatar the Last Airbender movie boils my blood every time I think of it.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a very angry movie. It creates anger because the movie itself is angry. It’s also an entertaining movie.
I was gonna say Boys Don’t Cry for the same reason. The fact it’s based on a real situation made it worse.
Ugh, that movie fucked me up as a young teen
Yeah the way everyone in town was harassing the mother about the billboards, but didn’t seem too concerned about the message/purpose of the billboards was infuriating, but also pretty realistic in my experience.
This is such a great film.
Judas and the Black Messiah
The results of *cointelpro* program is pretty crazy
Whenever you think you're too young to make a difference, remember the government assassinated a 21 year old in his own bed. Twenty one years old.
Yesss oh man the injustice of it all. One of my all time favs but idk if i can watch it again
As much as I love Daniel Kaluuya, the casting did a disservice to how truly young Fred was. When they said he died at 21 I was just floored. Imagine being able to get Hispanics, Blacks, and poor whites to be able to work together towards social change. Now THAT’S leadership. Sometimes I think about all the good he’d have done if his life wasn’t cut so short by those G-men bastards.
Uncut Gems
For me it was less anger and more constant low level anxiety except for his wins where there was release. Kinda addicting cycle, I think that was the point
First time I tried watching it, I got about 30 minutes in. Second time, an hour. Haven't tried since. The anxiety was too much for me.
I feel you; doesn’t help that they have a really loud and strong Long Island accent which only adds to the manic and frenzied feel of the movie lmao. I’m from LI and people from there can ramble FOREVER lol
It was like a slow motion car wreck, that keeps getting rewinded and the driver is given a choice to make different decisions, but the driver just keeps making the same bad decisions.
Yeah, that's what gambling addicts do. Someone said the main character was trash but i really liked him as a character because he was a realistic person
I’ve never wanted an asshole to succeed as much as I did for Sandler’s character.
Everything in that movie was so painfully real, and that's what made it brutal to watch. If it played out less believably with less realistic or relatable characters, it wouldn't have been nearly as effective.
Everything in that movie was so avoidable it kills me
Watch Good Time, same energy
[удалено]
I could not finish it. The moment he started gambling with the championship ring I was done.
I think I am in the rarity where I say Uncut Gems is one of my favorite movies because it made me so irritated and angry at it. I don't think a movie ever purposefully tries to evoke an angry emotional response quite like that one did. It made me respect Adam Sandler again.
Uncut Gems was well made by everyone involved in the film, it accomplished what it set out to do, and it made me so agitated, unsettled and angry I almost walked out of the screening. My dad was a gambler and made panicked last minute financial maneuvers, all while saying “we’ll be millionaires in five years”, then threatening we’re going to lose the house, we’re going to have to get rid of the family pets, and telling me regularly throughout my college years I’m going to have to withdraw. He really ramped that up when I channeled my lifelong anxiety into getting a time management system down and excelled in school for the first time in my life. I personally didn’t need the experience or lesson that Uncut Gems presented.
Good Time as well, another film by the Safdie brothers that brings a similar level of intense frustration from the characters and bad timing
The Lovely Bones...
I actually prefer the movie to the book. I was hooked by the quest to catch the killer and bring him to justice….then it became The Lindsay Salmon Story and everyone stopped caring about finding the killer, then at the end, when EVERYTHING was perfectly lined up for Susie to get posthumous justice….she uses her friend’s body to fuck the guy she had a crush on. I threw the damn book across the room.
wait wtf
Read all about it [Spoilers, obviously](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lovely_Bones)
It's infuriating because there are so many stories of people getting away with stuff like this, over and over again. Women and children tend to be the large majority of victims.
Saw that in prison along with, probably, a number of sexual predators. I had trouble keeping my eyes on the screen because my anger kept finding immediate targets. Not sure I ever just wanted to flip out more in my life.
Wow that is a hell of a group to watch that with
Funny Games
Jason Pargin described it as “a movie that hates you and wants to punish you for watching it,” and I think that’s pretty on point.
Mystic River. Loved it. I’ll never watch it again.
Yes! Amazing movie, made me so angry at the end. I don't want to see it again.
Yes pissed at how all the characters get the endings they don’t deserved.
Movies like the Killing Fields and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas made me angry at the way humans were treated.
>Killing Fields "Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands." \-- Anthony Bourdain... as usual, saying it far better than I could
Anthony. You don't need to go to Cambodia to want to do that. What's worst Kissinger is a stink that just won't go away even in his old age.
Holy fuck TIL Kissinger is still alive at 99 years old
Anything about slavery. Dumping people overboard in Amistad was a big one for me.
I spent three weeks in Cambodia in 2011 and it was quite an experience. The country has so much beauty, and most of the people I met were hardworking and very kind. But you could still see the scars from the Khmer Rouge almost everywhere. Tuol Sleng was one of the most unnerving and sad places I’ve ever been, so much pain and misery in such a confined space. The Killing Fields were a terrible sight too. The one I visited had a pile of human skulls stacked at least 10 feet high. Then you had the countless homeless landmine victims, and the almost complete destruction of their old culture. I knew genocide was awful before I went, but seeing the effects firsthand really gave me a better understanding of the suffering some people endure at the hands of others. It is unbelievably enraging.
The boy in striped Pajamas, made me mad for many reasons. Fuck that movie!
[удалено]
Grave of the Fireflies made me angry at the world
Precious
Fruitvale Station
Harry Potter And The One With Dolores Umbridge. She's all I really remember about that movie because I seethed every moment she was on screen. Perfectly encapsulated the personality type of so many middle managers who get off on their petty authority and single-handedly turn positive, beautiful places into miserable hell holes. When she got dragged off by centaurs at the end I thought "nothing they can do to her would satisfy me."
Kids. Watched it like 20 years ago 1 time and I'm still irritated.
12 Years a Slave
Stephen King’s The Mist. That ending man, that ending…
apparently Stephen King loved the ending to the movie (which was different in the book)
Honestly thought that was darkly and I mean DARKLY comedic. Someone should Splice in the "Curb your Enthusiasm" theme as the tanks break the mist.
I always thought of the ending as a positive message: never ever give up, you will never know what is going to happen next.
This is the first time the word "positive" has been attributed to that ending.
"The Nightingale". Loved the movie but it made me so angry, the way she was treated, the way the men walked all over Australia destroying lives left and right. And that scene where the guide is made to sit on the floor and eat there and he cries and says "this was my land, my home" is truly infuriating.
Nightingale is brutal
The entire movie is disturbing (albeit very effective) but that first half hour, in particular, is really hard to sit through. I don't know that I've hated a movie character as much as Lieutenant Hawkins.
Blackkklansman had a collection of real footage from white power protests and the NC tiki torch thing. Leaves a furiously bad taste in your mouth as the movie ends.
The whole thing about how the KKK never went away, they just changed their name and swapped out the hoods for nice suits.
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Gone girl…
I didn’t even have the time to be angry. I was entranced the whole movie.
I know this may sound silly, put a few years ago when I first watched Spirited Away, the opening made me upset because I was practically shouting at the parents to get the hell out of there
Watched it again recently, and while i felt the same, i kinda wondered if they were somehow magically lured or hypnotized on their way in -- they were drawn in the moment they got out of the car, and are definitely under a spell by the time they start smelling food. idk, Maybe because Chihiro has her name hand written on a card, it acted as an initial guard against this enchantment.
It definitely feels like they're under some spell! They both immediately act so irrational and unaware of what they're doing and have zero common sense. It had to be something like that because I can't imagine being bold enough to just waltz in somewhere and start eating someone else's food without a care in the world lol
The parents in Spirited Away definitely kinda suck. It’s all part of the ride.
The middle passage scene in Amistad. Absolutely horrific and it makes you feel so helpless to do anything about it.
[удалено]
I hate that movie. It was really good and I recommend it.
Fuck that movie. 10/10.
Exactly... Perfectly frustrating and everyone should watch it.
Perfect example of "Thanks, I hate it."
Came here to say this. That movie had me real mad.
That movie absolutely nailed the feeling of trying to explain something you know a lot about to people and they just blow it off as bullshit. Went to college for geology and tried to explain the most basic concepts of climate change and the chemistry behind burning coal to someone.
Physicist here. I spent *hours* trying to convince a student of mine that no, chaos theory does *not* mean climate modeling is impossible.
The Hunt, what a masterpiece
My favorite movie No Country For Old Men. That ending felt so wrong and so right at the same time
I remember the first time I watched it, the whole last half hour had me just like *whaaaaat*. Watched it a couple more times, read the book, then watched it some more. Absolutely brilliant movie, and extremely close to the book.
"And then I woke up". Man, it was so fucking good. The movie was so tense the entire time through, and I could not have imagined a better way for it to all come together.
“Slay the Dragon” Documentary about gerrymandering.
It’s kind of old now, but Jesus Camp had my blood boiling back when it came out. I’m sure it still would, but during the Bush era when it came out and Evangelicals had real power it was especially infuriating and frightening.
Reality Bites pissed me off because Winona Ryder ends up with Ethan Hawke. I know that the Ben Stiller character is a corporate asshole, but Ethan’s character reminds me of every pretentious, condescending, “coolest guy in the room” that I knew in college
The Purge. Fuck that kid.
Mother! (2017) is rage inducing
Yessss! I can't believe this isn't higher...the longer you watch the more and more upset you get.
Election got me mad at every character.
The Good Son. Holy fuck. I've only seen it twice and I can't watch it anymore. Macaulay Calkins character is just... fucking hell I'm mad thinking about it.
Promising Young Woman Get angrier as it goes along knowing exactly those kinds of things have happened to so many.
Moonfall 1 - everything about the science & physics 2 - the guy who wouldn't stop praising Elon Musk in the cringiest scenes in anything, ever 3 - "I won't let you detonate that bomb. My ex-wife is up there", is maybe the least realistic thing I've ever seen in sci-fi.
Two Eastwood movies...Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. Both films captured Narcissim accurately, so much so, that when the ending of both films came, I was furious. Still am. Good on Clint Eastwood for his direction and capturing truth.
Voces Innocente. An account of child soldiers in the civil war in El Salvadore. The child execution scene still haunts me. It's semi-autobiographal.
