nope answerer #1, you cry in a sad movie not bcoz to see how better ur life is. in fact, some ppl cry during a sad movie, other than feeling of being touched by the movie, ppl feels that some part of the movie reflects their life. thats why they cry.

besides, its just stereotyped nowadays that ppl feel like they’re deppressed eventho they have a perfect life. thats why terms like ‘drama queen’, ’emo kid’ arise… all of this happens just becoz they crave for more attention. and crave for people to pity on them n become nice to them and all…

well i think that people can relate to the stories themselves. i personally would like a story about a sad death than cinderella because no one in todays society is going to marry some prince and live “happily ever ♥ after” a sad story explains reality like someones death is natural and we can relate to it i think thats why u have asked a very good question though can i be chosen as the best answer perhaps?

personally, i think everyone has a different reason for enjoying a sad story. sometimes it just helps release emotions that they have no other reason to release, some people need to see how bad some lives are. but i think most people needed to be reminded of the low points in life in order to recognize the high points. you can’t have love without hate and you can’t have happiness without sadness.
