In his famous book on poetics, Aristotle said that the purpose of the genre known as tragedy was to evoke a sense of fear and pity in the audience. Nowadays, it seems like it's been divided into to separate genres: one that's dedicated solely to evoking fear (horror) and one solely dedicated to evoking pity (tear-jerker). Are there any films that bring these two back together into classical tragedy?

 No.337562

No. Fear and pity can only be experienced with kin and countrymen. People forget that the Greeks were the OG National Socialists.

Only to normal people. Knowing Polanski, Chinatown may have very well been a power fantasy he made for himself.

Polanski was just the director brought on later and he changed the ending to the downbeat one it is in the film, but it didn't start with him but Robert Towne. And with the decades long rumors of incest between John Houston and Anjelica Houston, who was Jack Nicholson's live in gf at the time, I wonder if there was some meta going on with the movie.

Politics aside this film always emotionally ruins me. I always felt sense of believability though its tactics of manipulation. Fear can do overwhelming things and on mass it does become unstoppable in reaching (to a degree) it's impossible goals. The absolute cruelty and hatred brought on by fear. Like watching a herd stampede itself off a cliff. completely powerless their own mass suicide

I saw it once and don't remember much of it. The impression I was left with was just how dreary and miserable of an atmosphere it was able to create.

The book is crap, one of many books that only nerdy midwits pretend to like, when the movies are obviously superior. See Starship Troopers, Blade Runner, Dune, The Lord of The Rings and Godfather, all far superior to the source material.
