The upcoming all-star drama...

It looks very good. Depressing as heck, but good.

That does look very good. Personally, though, I don't like to use "depressing" to describe movies. "Sad" movies often tell the truest stories, and they usually have uplifting messages hidden somewhere in them. Movies like this might be sad, but they're very thought-provoking, and I love that.

What depresses me is seeing the same clichéd formulas with contrived happy endings.

Sad movies depress me, because I'm a sentimental sort. [Smile]

The notion that sad stories are more true than happy stories also depresses me. [Frown]

Hehe...don't let me ruin your idealism. [Wink] I wish I still had some.

Lots of miserable things have happened in my life, but they haven't made the joyful things any less true.

Cynicism equals realism, or so a cynic decided. [Wink]

I think what I meant by "truest" is in regard to their representation on screen--not necessarily that happy things don't happen as often.
