Most Tragic Film Endings

By Vanessa Ford

While comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humour and films in this style traditionally have a happy ending, tragic films take laughter from the audience with very depressing endings. If you are interested in the most tragic film endings of all time, here are some movies that you should consider:

1. Titanic (1997)
"Titanic" is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. That is a fictionalized story about the sinking of RMS Titanic with two main characters named Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. They come from different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. No matter how sad it is, the legend "Titanic" is still one of the best tragic films which are successful in tearing audiences’ heart. At the end of the film, pitifully, while Rose is clinging to a plank for survival, Jack becomes stiff with cold.
