Why do some films--with their good-looking characters, their perfect one-liners and their heart-swelling musical scores--make us depressed or angry, when they've set out to make us feel something else--something more upbeat? This StoryBrain video posits a theory, and the narrator coins it "Kaufman's Folly," because of something Charlie said in his interview with Charlie Rose.

Thanks to Cristian!
