I have never been able to understand the complaint that a story is ‘depressing’ because of its subject matter. What depresses me are stories that don’t seem to know these things go on, or hide them in resolute chipperness; ‘witty stories,’ in which every problem is the occasion for a joke; ‘upbeat’ stories that flog you with transcendence. Please. We’re grown ups now.
Tobias Wolff (via macrolit)
It’s been a while since I’ve read a quote so representative of what I feel, and this one hits the spot quite nicely.
On another note, “Man of Steel” (2013), and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016), and thank you Mr. Zack Snyder, cast and crew.
