Tear Jerker / Christine (2016)

Go To

  • The entire movie, especially considering this happened to someone in real life, and how she was falling off the slippery slope and ended her life in the most horrific way possible.
  • This line that showcases Christine's collapsing mental state: "OH, WHY WON'T ANYONE JUST LISTEN TO ME!?"
  • The aftermath of the suicide: Jean suffers a mental breakdown as she's in the ambulance and hospital, George goes into a Madness Mantra, Turner's completely stoic with a Thousand-Yard Stare, and Nelson shows confusion and shock from the event, especially when he's seen reading Christine's own typed up plan of her suicide (along with information the police/hospital will need when she passes) and when listening to the playback of her suicide. And let's not even get started with Peg...
  • Christine's puppet shows turn heartbreaking as it becomes clear they're the only space she has to express her extreme self-doubts and that the advice given in them is her own strained effort to fix how broken she is.
