1 rittoru no namida (2005)
Sad but Inspiring
I've watched the series back when I was 15 years old, and I remember how beautiful it was. But I don't think I've watched the whole series, only parts of it. I think at the time, it was impossible to watch the whole series where I live.
So now, 8 years later, I remembered and decided to watch it again, but all of it this time. I cried, and laughed, and felt sad, but in some way also happy. It's a very inspiring story, based on a true story. This made me even more emotional; the thought that this poor young girl actually had to go through all this, and died way too young... But the way she kept herself going on, whatever happened... it's beautiful...
Of course, in series there are always parts you don't like too much... but what do you expect after 10 hours, lol xD But those are only small parts (like the overacting of the dad and stuff), definitely not enough to ruin the story.
So I'd say, if you're looking for an inspiring, sad, but beautiful story; watch this one, and keep your tissues ready :P
An American Crime (2007)
Not for everyone, but in my opinion; a must-watch!
One of the best movies I've ever seen. And also one of the saddest one, especially when you keep in mind it's a true story. I have seen this movie over 20 times, and it still touches me.. I've seen a lot of horror movies so I'm used to a lot of torture, abuse etc. but this movie is different. Everything feels so real, and that's shocking I have to add though, this movie is not for everyone. I think it could actually be traumatic to some. I find all these gross horror movies far less disturbing than this one.
The acting in this movie was very good, and the casting perfect. Ellen Page is very convincing as the young Sylvia Likens, and Catherine Keener makes you hate her character so much.
For people who are really looking for a tear jerking movie; 10/10 recommend!
