My Favorites Happy Depressed Movies

So this is five movies about depressed people that I think would inspire you or maybe can makes you think how it feels like to be one of them, the introvert-and-wallflower kinds.  I mean, we also live, but it's feels like we don't particularly lived you know? Yeah, that kind of feels.

One thing you should know that, people whether they're introvert or not, are also people.



Ok, let's start with the first rank of my "Happy-Depressed Movies"

1. The Art Of Getting By (2011)

I think this would be my favorite indie movie of all time :))

I really feel what George felt (minus the-girl-he-wanted-to-be-his-girlfriend ofc)

Yah, namanya juga film, kalo dibuat terlalu depressed dan terlalu dekat dengan reality jatuhnya nanti mungkin bakalan gak asik sis :>

I read a quote once when I was a kid "We live alone, We die alone. Everything else is just an illusion." it used to keep me up at night.  — George

I'm serious. I was happy. I was open. I was curious. But I'll tell you this: I knew when it was ending. I was overwhelmed with sadness when I realized that I was going to change, and that it was all most likely going to get worse, like a nostalgia for the present. I couldn't shake it... What? I'm weird, right? — George

"I have fears but I thought they were pretty run-of-the-mill: pain, death." 

"Not me. I fear life."  — Sally, George

2. It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)

 Yeah, this movie out before The Art of Getting By and idk why Emma Roberts really likes to play the female lead on these both depressed movies. Her acts really amaze me though :)

Seeing someone lose it like that. You know, it reminded me of how I feel sometimes. Like I'm on the verge of just blowing up. All the stress and pressure and anxiety just bubbling up. But I'm never able to let it out like that. You know, I just keep it inside.  — Craig

  

Time felt different back then. Like there was more of it.  — Craig

Okay, I know you're thinking, "What is this? Kid spends a few days in the hospital and all his problems are cured?" But I'm not. I know I'm not. 

I can tell this is just the beginning. I still need to face my homework, my school, my friends. My dad. But the difference between today and last Saturday is that for the first time in a while, I can look forward to the things I want to do in my life. 

Bike, eat, drink, talk. Ride the subway, read, read maps. Make maps, make art. Finish the Gates application. Tell my dad not to stress about it. Hug my mom. Kiss my little sister. Kiss my dad. See a movie with Noelle. See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia. Have a party. Tell people my story. Volunteer at 3 North. Help people like Bobby. Like Muqtada. Like me. Draw more. Draw a person. Run, travel, swim, skip. Yeah, I know it's lame, but, whatever. Skip anyway. Breathe... Live.  — Craig

My life kinda like Craig too though, minus the-girl-and-hospital-and-psychiatrist ofc

3. The Perks of Being Wallflower (2012)

Yeah, the Hermione girl and Percy Jackson boy played some happy-depressed role in real life what it would turns out to be?

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how could that be. — Charlie

High school? Bullshit. The cafeteria is called the Nutrition Center; people wear their letter jackets even when it's 98 degrees out. And why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport. We all knows it. — Charlie

So if this does end up being the last letter I just want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who's gone through it, you made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen. And there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17. 

I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening.  I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite. — Charlie

  

"Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date?"

"We accept the love we think we deserve"  — Charlie, Mr. Anderson

You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think it counts as love.  — Sam

4. Stuck In Love (2012)

If Emma Roberts can be called as the depressed princess, then maybe Logan Lerman can be called as the depressed prince. lol jk
So, this movie is all about a family and they are writers with their depressed live and love. This movie also quoted some quotes from great authors like Stephen King, etc.

The most important things are the hardest things to say — Stephen King

Fiction is the truth inside the lie — Stephen King

I'm always waiting for whatever is next. I think everyone's like that, living life in fast forward, never stopping to enjoy the moment, too busy trying to rush
through everything.
So we can get on with what we're really supposed to be doing with our lives. — Samantha

He pays us to do it so we can focus on our writing instead of working some bullshit job at McDonald's. — Rusty

There are two kinds of people in this world. Hopeless romantics and realists. A realist just sees that face and packs it in with every other pretty girl they've ever seen before. The hopeless romantic becomes convinced that God put them on Earth to be with that one person. — Samantha

Making students read their poetry assignments in front of the class is a sadistic exercise in public humiliation. — Rusty

School

"In the sea of desks, there's
talk of games and bags
and long pipes that leak dreams
with the strike of a match.

And there's a loudness
to the whispers I hear.

Whispers shouldn't be
that loud, should they?
..."
 — Poems written by Rusty

Society, government, money, religion, careers, nuclear families, monogamy. These are all just highly creative socially accepted delusions that we impose on reality to try and gain some semblance of control over our lives.

It gives us the illusion of choice. It makes us feel a little less like animals. I do not believe in evolution. 

There's 400 billion stars in the Milky Way alone, making the amount of stars in the entire universe completely mind-boggling. We are nothing. — Samantha

I could hear my heart beathing. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making. Not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark. — William

5. 50/50 (2011)

So, Levitt played Adam who depressed because he got a tumor and the chances between his life and death are 50:50. So, he tries to be happy with his depressed life cause he just got a few months to live in. What's interesting about this movie isn't just love story that Adam makes with his psychiatrist but the way he can 'joke' around about life with people who got tumor as well, and the fact that we really didn't know when someone will be gone forever. If yesterday or maybe an hour ago we just saw them, happy, alive, laughing about silly jokes with us, and now they're gone, dead, being buried on the ground. And we know that there's a 50% chances we'll be like that in our what-so-called-productive-age.

See, but... that's bullshit. That's what everyone has been telling me since the beginning. "Oh, you're gonna be okay," and "Oh, everything's fine," and like, it's not... It makes it worse... that no one will just come out and say it. Like, "hey man, you're gonna die." —Adam

That's what everybody's been saying: You'll feel better and don't worry and this is all fine and it's not. — Adam

You can't change your situation. The only thing that you can change is how you choose to deal with it.  — Katherine

Well, some of you might includes 500 Days of Summer as one of those depressed movie of all time right? lol
Yeah, that movie was kinda depressing though, a sad-depressed movie, so I don't really like it honestly, cause my life has been too depressed since Idk..I was a kid maybe? lol  whatever.
And, that's it! My five favorites happy-depressed movies that might help you all knows me better. lol
