Stories that touched you?

Question

Books

In general, the question is quite general. After reading a generally good series of books, but with a slightly blurred ending, I wondered how many stories I know with a plot that would touch me. To truly impress, without any BUT. I remembered everything. And books, and movies, games, TV shows, anime, and more. Something scraped together, although not much. For the time being, I was not very interested in fiction at all. With the cinema, too, somehow did not take place (it is difficult to remember a film that would have impressed). With games a little better, here I could well name a couple of JRPGs like the Final Fantasy series, well, or MGS3 is the same, perhaps the first Mass Effect. Series, anime… There seemed to be a lot of interesting things here, but given that the series are serial-oriented and oriented, only individual moments are remembered - series, rather than some kind of general story.
Well, in general, I had a question ... And what touched you? Again, it doesn’t matter how the story was presented, it’s more important why. This is important because a lot depends on the genre. In a detective-thriller, a twisted plot with an unexpected ending can surprise you. On the other hand, a person may well be impressed by a biographical book about the war and its tragedies. Different emotions...

Answer 1

Bridge to Terabithia movie. I don’t know, but when I watched this movie, I almost cried at the end.

Answer 2

From books.
Atlas Shrugged. [A. Rand.] I
fully agree that it is called the "bible of capitalism." But you have to grow up to it. Therefore, I will not advise everyone.

Answer 3

Bridge with Terabithia
Knocking on the Sky
Legends of Autumn
American History X
Beauty and the Beast :)
Death Note
Fight Club (namely a book, not a movie)

Answer 4

And if about serious literature:
"Mein Kampf" from a well-known author. I perceive it as a very interesting biography. It is the globality of the events and ideas described in the book that catches the eye. It is extremely contraindicated for people with unsettled views on life and a weak psyche. In general, it’s better not to read until the age of 20 :)
“Mao Zedong” is a biography by Philip Short. It is written heavily, but the history of Mao's China is damn interesting! It makes you look differently at Mao than after the programs on ZomboTV
"The Secret Doctrine" by Helena Blavatsky. Reading is simply impossible. My brain was broken. The author's brain is sick. But sometimes it's interesting. Didn't make it to the end. Wouldn't recommend for lovers of light reading. Fall asleep easily during the day ;)

Answer 5

To the above, I can add 1984 by George Orwell.
It shook me to shiver.

Answer 6

Except named here: Kin-dza-dza, Forest Gump / Forest Gump, Full Metal Jacket / Full Metal Jacket.

Answer 7

Manga GUNNM, also known as Battle Angel Alita.
Not watching anime is the worst thing I have seen in my entire life, and what can I say, the author of the manga, after watching it, spit and categorically forbade making a sequel. It's a shame that at the mention of the name, the first association a person has is anime, and he says "watched, shit!". Of course shit, I'm not arguing. Fierce-mad. They completely distorted the whole plot and made some kind of childishness in general.
The manga itself is a masterpiece. Both visually and in terms of plot.
This is really the only manga I read. A great incredibly original story, a post-apocalyptic world, and in general just breaks the brain. A few years ago, she radically changed my worldview.
What can I say, even James Cameron is a big fan and wants to make a movie based on the first three volumes of the manga in the future. I heard somewhere that he filmed Avatar purely for the sake of running technology before the film about Alita. Proof is on his T-shirt.

Read only in English (well, or in Japanese, if you know it), since only the first four volumes of the 9 initial and 2 of Last Order are in Russian. And it makes no sense to read only the existing volumes separately.
And what can I say - I have grown wildly and for the second year I have been making fanart in 3D ( one , two , and there is the whole gallery - there are normal ones, but there are also complete fails).

Answer 8

Anime series Shaman King. Very deep thoughts in an interesting wrapper.

Answer 9

From the books I would also cite:
"Psycho" by Robert Bloch - Simply the most gorgeous work about the disorder (the number "3") of the patient's personality (with the diagnosis of the character I can be a little mistaken)
"Fog" (Film "Mist") by Stephen King - an incredible crazy end.
Isaac Asimov's "The Night That Dies" (a cycle of stories connected with each other), at the end of which it turns out that God is an artificial intelligence.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Above the cuckoo's nest. Both the book and the movie are excellent.

Of the films, I really like American Beauty.

Answer 13

To Kill a Mockingbird, both book and film.
In general, the question is too vague, a lot of things touch something inside, but not everything can be remembered later.

Answer 14

Old people don't belong here.

Answer 15

film "The English Patient". I actually cried when the main character died there.
Then I didn't want to watch it. But when, after a year or so, I reviewed the film, I cried again. Then only five years later he could calmly perceive the film.
V. Rybakov's books "The Hearth on the Tower" and "The Tsesarevich Gravity Flight". In "The Hearth on the Tower" there is the finale, and in "Gravity" there is a scene with the protagonist's memory of a goose with a severed head. Wept again.
I didn’t cry over games, but I think that the coolest story in game dev is the story of Arthas in Warcraft.
The series with the coolest original plot is Breaking bad and Homeland.
I must note, judging by personal experience, that the artist produces the strongest emotional impact at those points where it is superimposed on personal experience. I mean, it's very individual. Someone will empathize with the hero whose nose was broken in a fight (relatively speaking), because his nose was broken in a similar situation, while someone simply will not pay attention to it.

Answer 16

Life is Beautiful
Schindler's List
Hattie
these films brought me to tears

Answer 17

The film "The Butterfly Effect", but only the first. Partly - the last episode of the series "Flash Forward" and the series "John Doe".
Anime "5 Centimeters Per Second", "Blood+", "Darker than Black". Slightly - "Wind of Amnesia".
Books - series "Second Attempt" by Katarina Tilman. A few - "Daring" by Natalia Shitova, "Underground Office" by Sergei Musanif and a few more (it's too long to list everything, but I don't want to single out anything).

Answer 18

Lucky number Slevin. The chorus of the main song has become for me something like a motto for life.
And for some reason, no one remembered about the "V" means Vendetta. The movie really impressed me.

Answer 19

"V" for Vendetta: Vladimir Antonik as V is simply divine! For me - one of the 3-4 films, the dubbing of which is better than the original
Anime Hikaru no Go - the best thing I watched, a very good illustration of the growing up of a person.
Of the recent ones - Inception: the parent himself, the ending directly hooked.

Answer 20

Man Biting Dog
Full Metal Jacket
Prestige

Answer 21

"Dexter"
"Beta Testers"
"Small Gods" and "Good Omens" by Pratchett

Answer 22

Triangle movie directed by Christopher Smith.
Very twisted and cyclical, hard to explain without spoilers.
I don't recommend reading reviews on film search before watching the movie.

Answer 23

Dutch film "Ben X", very sad. Description: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_X
The movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" because it looks like Forrest Gump.
The Japanese film “1 Liter of Tears” ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Litre_no_Namida_ (TV_series) ) is even sadder, about a girl who was diagnosed with an incurable disease at the age of 15.

Answer 24

Malville, Infinite War, ef - a tale of memories, yes, you can remember a lot of everything.

Answer 25

My list is constantly changing. If we talk about those works that definitely irrevocably changed my life, then these are:
- the film "The Matrix" (for the first time made me seriously think about the nature of reality)
- the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (this one generally influenced a lot, such a powerful blow across the board, in particular the fact that I have traveled over 15,000 km on a motorcycle in India alone, although the book is not exactly about motorcycle travel)
