Reply to comment by HEHEHO2022 in I keep end up disliking good films simply because all the characters are sad degenerate fucks and I hate them for it. Is there a trick to liking these kinds of films? by KellyKellogs

I do enjoy films with nuanced, morally grey characters. I listed plenty of films and characters in the post.

It's just when a character is irredeemably evil that they are not morally grey but have no morals at all where I just can't connect with them and end up hating them.

I used to hate tragedies and it was only after reevaluating how I understood tragedies, to stop rooting for the main character, but still empathising with them that I began to love them. I am trying to see if there are any tricks to enjoy films with characters that are evil from the start.

I tried in the post to emphasise my problems with these kind of characters and give several examples.
