Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It is depressing, and gloomy....

Gritty and real.

but very well done. It moved me.

I find I appreciate depressing movies sometimes because they remind
me to appreciate my life and not take a valuable second of it for granted.

Also, I find it helps me be more symathetic with others, because I am opening my eyes to something that might be unpleasant and that I haven't experienced, but others have.

And Scorcese's view of city life is dark and bleak, but many people do view city life like that, and they manage to find pockets of happiness for themselves, so a common underlying theme in these movies is perseverence, and perhaps a bit of stoicism.

This movie can be compared somewhat to Midnight Cowboy, and notice how happy the two were in their private bungalow. That's the beauty in it that I see.
