What is a movie you LOVE but also makes you uncomfortable and anxious at the same time?
The wife and I were watching The Wolf of Wallstreet last night and I found myself thinking that while I love the crap out of this movie, it also makes me anxious and uncomfortable.
Belfort goes from being an average everyday working Joe to a millionaire piece of trash and watching him slowly throw it all away, scene, after scene, after scene, just made me feel anxious and uncomfortable.
Some of the scenes with Donnie were also uncomfortable. When he whips his junk out at the party, when he's talking about gay Rudy to the butler, when they're high on drugs watching Family Matters, and when he gets into the shouting match with Jon Bernthal and the cops show up.
It's a great movie, but last night was the first time I've watched it in a couple of years, and I just found myself feeling more uncomfortable and anxious than I remember.
Anyone else relate to this?
What are some other movies that you LOVE but that also make you anxious and uncomfortable?
(Predicting now that I'll see Uncut Gems mentioned somewhat quickly).
