The Movie/Manga/Book that changed your look on the world (in a bad way)

[SebZero]

I guess Death Note.

It made me think of how this world is and how someone can be twisted by power like that.

Faker, comic book by Mike Carey. God, that was a depressing look at people.

Pendragon, cause it reminded me how much the masses are fucking morons

Agreed.

A Scanner Darkly, both the book and Movie do a fine job of making you realize that unlike most other drug movies/books, where unless someone dies doing drugs or go into a rehabiliation area, they aren't really getting helped, and the ending just made me realize how I thought I lived a sad existence, until this future (It's still a future, right?) these people aren't being helped at all.

First off I will take the opportunity to tell everyone to go and read Preacher. It is the greastest series of graphic novels ever written. It's about a preacher called Jessie who gets infested with soul of a demon/angel hybrid. It stars an alcoholic Irish vampire called Cassidy. It has Bill Hicks in a bar. It is heartbreaking and full of sex and violence and blasphemy and tragedy. It's also very fucking funny, mostly at the expense of Herr Starr, a German psychopath the Church hires to find Jessie. Warning: it is adult in every singe sense. I mean it. If you're easily distrubed you really don't need to see children being tortured in coffins or a psychotic old man having sex with a giant lady made of meat or the graphic images of 'Arseface', a teenager who survived shooting himself in the face with a shotgun after Kurt Cobain killed himself.

After you've read it you'll know how it changes your outlook on life, not necessarily for the better.
