Are there any good revenge movies with a satisfying ending? Perhaps this would depend on a person's opinion of revenge as a rational goal, but I'm interested in ones that don't imply that revenge is empty
Pic related is the exact opposite of what I have in mind.

Do you have an example of one that you think has a satisfying ending? I think the point of most revenge movies is that revenge doesn't help anything and is just self destructive.
>Do you have an example of one that you think has a satisfying ending?
No, that's why I made this thread.
> I think the point of most revenge movies is that revenge doesn't help anything and is just self destructive.
And that's why I want a movie that subverts this.
This I guess?
There is literally nothing wrong with righteous vengeance.
Revenge is almost never very satisfying so basically you want a movie with a theme that straight up lies to you.
I tell myself this, but I can't categorically say this is the case.
This
Shit, yeah thats pretty dead on to what hes describing. Never would have thought of that.
Seconding this.
This and Ransom are a great Mel post Oscar double feature.
ISTD is utter garbage.
Just read this.
>Revenge is almost never very satisfying
literally an ancient meme created so people dont take matters into their own hands more often
CoMC is great but you can't really compare it to 2 hours movie like ISTD
waiting 20 years to finally get revenge on a serial killer is risky, he could have been caught or die way before it
FUCKING THIS
WE ARE BREAKING THE CONDITIONING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The end of that book shows that revenge isn't satistying, correct? Still not what I wanted.
More like The cunt of monte cristo
LOL
Did you consider the possibility that it's actually true?
OP here. I still believe revenge in and of itself is futile, but that doesn't mean I can't watch a film that doesn't present it as otherwise.
Revenge in general is viewed as pretty empty so good luck with finding movies that don't elaborate on that theme.
Best I can think of that either frame the revenge as positive or atleast leave it fairly open are
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance
Kill Bill
John Wick
Lady Snowblood
The Hovering Blade
All About Lily Chou Chou
Monster (2014)
Braveheart
Closer (2004)
Confessions
yeah of course
how about I Spit on Your Grave?
No because Ive lived it and its not true.
Oldboy (korean version)
>Kill Bill
Not quite what I had in mind. The characters aren't so cartoonish per se and there's so limited character development that's it's more like some arbitrary goal in a video game.
>Braveheart
If you're referring to when Wallace slit his late wife's rapist, I think that scene implied that it was meaningless.
I haven't seen the other films.
>Closer (2004)
Still amazed when I realized this was the source of the chorus to that damn Fall Out Boy song
Not seen it but isn't Death Wish kind of a hella epic revenge movie?
Haven't seen it, but I might.
Elaborate.
its shit
I got revenge it was both immensely satisfying and enriching to my quality of life.
>Death Wish
it was
I spit on your grave or something
was it better than getting double?
Would you elaborate further?
Kill Bill is pretty cartoonish but I mean it's a Tarantino movie after all.
As for Braveheart I was referring to the revolt against the English in general.
...
Is this actually any good? Never saw it in its hayday. Or should I watch the original?
I meant to say aren't cartoonish per se, but*
I don't consider that revenge, but a just uprising.
Same director, but with a very different style. One of my favorite revenge-films.
watch original and then remake so you understand just how good the remake is
Ahh I see.
Well as for the other films on that list John Wick is about as shallow as Kill Bill and Kill Bill is basically a rip off of Lady Snowblood.
Lady Vengeance, Confessions and The Hovering Blade probably paint revenge in the best light, whereas I dunno if one would consider Closer or Lily Chou Chou to be soley revenge films but they arguably have the most vengeance.
honestly i didn't mention the korean revenge trilogy because i thought it would be so obvious for majority of Cred Forums posters, even for people who don't seek revenge films
turn out OP didn't watch lady vengeance yet
The original is mediocre at best while the remake is excellent. You can just skip the original or do what said and enjoy the remake even more.
>lady snowblood
WHAT THE FUCK MAN THE POINT OF THE FILM IS REVENGE BRINGS DEATH UPON EVERYONE INVOLVED
> IF YOU KILL YOUR ENEMIES, THEY WIN !
>Revenge is almost never very satisfying
>if you kill your enemy's they win
Revenge feels mentally satisfying and feeds your ego. I guess if you browse /r numale you probably think revenge is a hollow pointless thing and anti enlightenment.
t. Never killed anything larger than an ant and is deadly afraid of cockroaches.
So numale is literally thousands of years old? Seems rather "old" to me.
What are you talking about, in my experience revenge was always worth it and necessary
> i let people fuck with me with no physical reprecussions
t. numale cuckold
>If you seek revenge dig two graves, one for your enemy, and one for yourself.
T. ancient chinese cuck who got memed on by Sun Tzu
>Revenge feels mentally satisfying and feeds your ego
it really doesn't
you just like the idea of a revenge and that's more satisfying than actually getting any
it's the same thing with the complete spergs that cry ">tfw no gf" they make it all perfect and great in their head without ever facnig the reality and it's the naive fantasy that they are after, not the real thing
God Cred Forums is so fucking gay.
whoa bro... thats really deep... you should write about that in your next essay for 10th grade English
Where do you think you are?
Seriously, what does this have to do with Cred Forums?
How old are you?
That book is YA-tier and it's way to fucking long
It's palpable how desperate they are for constant validation. Makes me laugh every time.
it only impresses retard like you unfortunately
if you had a pair back in 3rd grade and decided to punch one of your bullies back instead of just living the revenge fantasies in your head you'd probably know this first hand
Death Sentence was p good
you should be an author
you could get paid for this shit dude
Thanks, appreciate it
Some posts you can literally see the 14 year old on the other side typing it out
does this still hold up?
What about the remake's sequel?
Avoid it. Better to pretend it never existed.
dog shit, i caught it one night on cable and regret watching it
t. faggot who never had a gf or stuck benis in vagina
t. faggot who never beat anyone up
What a man!
seriously though, and faggots like this are increasing in number every day
something needs to be done
John Wick doesn't give a fuck about the morals of revenge, he goes on a genocide spree for a dog and a car.
Hm. The end of Hostel is a satisfying revenge scene. I also liked Deathproof.
Rolling Thunder (1977).
Satisfying as FUCK.
Did you do either?
I'd go on a killing spree for a cute doggo tebehe
The Crow
Kill Bill
Thriller en grym
The Last House on the Left (remake and original)
A lot of lasher movies have a revenge motive for the killer, and they usually survive in same way without learning that "revenge is bad."
Urban Legend for example.
Harry Brown
Unforgiven
so good, downloading now
youtube.com
I love that movie.
They shat the bed with Thriller by putting the porn shit in
Hardcore henry has a very satisfying revenge ending. The joke at the end also made me laugh for a solid 5 minutes, more than I've laughed in years. It's a pretty decent movie overall, some weird scene cuts and stuff hold the movie back a bit but it's pretty good if you're just looking for action and revenge.
Just watch the non explicit cut.
kind of?
Shane is really classic.
Very much so. Arrow just put out a blu-ray collection of the entire series as well. I watched the first part a few years ago for the first time and fell in love (with the movie and Meiko).
Lucky number slevin
A bittersweet life is great, but it doesn't even really feel like a revenge movie because of how surreal and darkly comedic it gets in the second half.
Even the lead seems more pissed off at the fact that his boss didn't value his work enough than that he tried to have him buried alive.
My favorite moment is when he begins whining about that to the one underboss he confronted, realizes how pathetic he's sounding and shoots him mid sentence.
For a more straight forward revenge and rescue flick I'd say "The Man from nowhere".
How did you get revenge? This had better be fucking good
Nope. Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves
I've seen a lot of Korean ones. ISTD has a satisfying ending, not sure what would satisfy you more.
Bedevilled
Fatal
The Chaser
those are other good K-Revenge, I've seen others, the names don't come to mind right now though.
Blue Ruin is a good one too, it's Murrican tho
Oh yeah, Irreversible is pretty epic too.
