(Spinoff) I cried when...

[Inkachu]

I cried when "He-Man" was over. Of course, I was probably about 7 years old.

 

[brebre]

I cried when Edward left in New Moon of Twilight haha

Seesh, you guys watch all these sad movies.

When I was younger, I saw "Uncommon Valor" with Gene Heckman, and "Heroes" with Henry Winkler and Sally Fields. Both had to with the Vietnam war, not a dry eye in the theater.

And speaking of war movies, the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, WOW! That was intense!

 

[brebre]

Saving Private Ryan is probably the greatest war movie I have ever seen

 

[soccerdad66]

And the end, when the guys life he saved was the one who shot him... that was like, NO WAY!

 

[brebre]

I know!!!

i cried when superman died.

yes i'll admit it. when i read The Death of Superman, at the end, i did cry. thing is i wasn't a kid when i read it LOL i can't remember the exact age, but i was over 18.

I love heroes and soldiers, but I avoid most war movies because I don't like having to watch people blowing up stuff and being blown up in order to get the story told. You can tell a war story without 60 minutes of flying body parts and splattering intestines.

very true. i think some "gore"/"action" is required to tell a war story just because of the reality of war needs to be addressed for it to be war story, at least for me, but not so much gore, or action to where it turns it into an "action film"/"horror film".

That's why you watch a war movie

Besides, it helps you understand the intensity of story. Dealing with issues while having to deal with the trials of war.

I agree. Tell the story of the soldiers; what they said, who they were, how they lived, etc. Making long, elaborate "body parts flying through the air" scenes aren't necessary. We all know that war is horrific, graphic, bloody, miserable. That aspect of it shouldn't be the crux of a war story.

The intensity of the story should be why the soliders are fighting, who they are as men, their strategies, their purpose, etc. Not how many arms and legs we can manage to blow off in a 30 minute action sequence. I have issue with Hollywood capitalizing on such things anyway.

If you had a brother or father who was killed in action, I doubt you'd want to see it depicted on screen. But all those "actors" who get blown apart ARE someone's brother or father or son.

Sorry, soapbox moment.

Sad movies often have the best writing and acting IMO.

 

[MrsSeptemberPenguin]

During the Notebook when they both die at the end. Very few movies make me cry. On the other hand, pretty much any book by Karen Kingsbury will have me crying at some point.

 

[Redstiletto]

I cry at a lot of movies, I get way to involved in them and my emotions get taken for a ride every time!

I'm with you there. I have the dual book One Tuesday Morning / Beyond Tuesday morning and I read the first chapter in OTM and I was tearing up. It was pretty sad.

Oh yeah, that movie is FULL of crying moments...

I cried when Celie and Nettie were separated (how can you NOT cry during that scene?).

I cried when Celie and Nettie were reunited, and Celie met her children for the first time.

:sniff:
