Do you cry at sad movies? |
|
Or when you hear a sad song?
I sure do.
Don't be afraid to show your sensitive side.

Big Fish was a tear jerker.
I also cried like a baby at Fahrenheit 9/11 when they showed the Iraqi woman crying and cursing America for destroying her house.

22. That is exactly my last Teary theater movie experience |
|
It got me good as it did my 18-year-old daughter. My wife scoffed at us. But good to see there are others. :-)
The movie is a good story -- love Burton's stuff.

I got teary-eyed as well. I didn't weep and sob... it was just bittersweet.

And Mrs. IconCat is convinced that I am a serial killer or something because of this one fact. I contend that I just haven't had enough to drink yet.

6. Haven't seen a sad movie in a while but yes.... |
|
...I do when I see one. Besides "Terms of Endearment" the one movie that really go the waterworks going for me was "Men Don't Leave" with Jessica Lange. It's strange, the first time I saw the movie it did nothing for me but I caught it on cable a couple years later and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Great movie.

Edited on Wed Aug-18-04 09:55 AM by nuxvomica
It was the women and children screaming in fear and disbelief that got to me. I was pretty cool until then and I didn't even see it coming but suddenly I started bawling like a baby.

More of a mental cry than an actual physical one though. I dont know what it is also but I get really near teary eyed by beautiful music from movies, is that because of association, I also associate with whats going on right now and what not. Like I hear Hymn to the Fallen which is the Main Theme of Saving Private Ryan, and I think about how those old guys die day by day, and how sad it is, and how sad that some never came home, I think too much don't I? I also think what if I could have been on the beaches of normandy. This is just the one song btw.

I now carefully read reviews before I go to a movie. If they indicate a movie is the least bit sad, I wait for the DVD and cry at home. Geez I cry over books, too. Really hard to read when I have to contiually take off my glasses to wipe my eyes. Then the glasses get all spotty.

24. I laugh at movies whose quality is sad |
|
Movies like Titanic. I got my fair share of nasty looks when I laughed at the ridiculous "parting" of the two in the north Atlantic.
Now, sentimental, emotional movies? Well, I won't admit to seeing them, let alone crying at them. :)

It's more likely for me to cry over a video game - I was replaying Final Fantasy 6 last week, and I just got all teary-eyed during one of the cutscenes.

I might have a different concept of sad than you though. I practically blubbered at the end of the Last Samaurai when the imperial soldiers all began kneeling before the bodies of the samaurai. The sadness and nobility of that gesture just got to me in a serious way. The sadness that something great was lost.

I cried at a Shirley Temple movie. Other guys my age thought that meant I was a sissie. Tough, that's the way I am. At age 59 I still cry at sad movies.

32. I cry too easily these days at strange things |
|
I mean , I can go to a car accident and be okay, freaked but okay.
But the song "puff the magic dragon" brings me to tears.
I cry at any sad thing.
Even the other night when my best friend and his littel brother got into a scrap...afterwards - I retreated to the bedroom to cry. But there is some history there.

I tend to cry at the parts in movies that others don't. For example, *everyone* was crying at the end of "Braveheart" (the torture and death scene). Not me. I had already cried myself out over the battle scenes.
Any movie with an intense battle always moves me to tears. The first 20 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" left me a wreck. I suppose it's the whole "man's inhumanity to man" thing.
As for songs, I always tear up when I hear "My Old Kentucky Home". (What can I say, I love my state.)

... and when The News Hour shows the photos, names and ages of those troops that have been killed.
Just to see those young faces and to know that they are now gone. Leaving behind parents, spouses, children... all for the benefit and arrogance of the criminal Bush*.

51. When I'm experiencing PMS, I do... |
|
The only time I cried in a theater was in "Philadelphia" during the scene where Tom Hanks is walking around his apartment rolling his IV unit with him, listening to Maria Callas singing "La Mamma Morta"... AND a few times during "Schindler's List."
Oh... and when I was a kid, I cried during "Love Story" and "Romeo and Juliet."
Oh heck... maybe I do cry during movies now that I think of it... sad ones anyway.
