The part in the end of Ghost, where the late Patrick Swayze said his last goodbye to Demi Moore....tears did well up in my eyes, I can't lie about that.

That final scene with Frodo bidding his final farewell to Samwise, Merry and Pippin, I choked on that as well.

The Notebook was written to make people cry, as was Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John. All were written by the same guy.

I bawled at Charlotte's Web (among other movies).

On the Beach (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219224/?ref_=sr_2)

After a while you begin to share their resignation.

Then, near the end, when he turns off the mains switch and goes inside to die, the last grasping at some token of control or meaning in the world—or the symbol of finality, turning the lights out before he goes—really gets to me. It doesn't sound like much here, but after the buildup of the movie it's significant.

My analysis..

-marriage

-biological defect

-no adoption, out of stubborness or overly self obsessive over the baby being genetically linked.

-no artificial insemination, same ^^

-poor investment plan, jar of coins, really? lose interest, AND suffer inflation

-house payments larger than they could afford

-poor career choice

-poor career path

-emotional distress leading to lowered immune system and general health

-bad insurance from poor career choice

-death

-their own fault.

the fact that it suck?  :))

I was soooo bored...

and honstly it is incredibly difficult to believe Calisi could sway so many people given the unremarkable actress they chose.

She just doesn't look at all like QUEEN material...  Now Charlize Theron on the other hand.... obviously they couldn't afford Theoron for a show like this with the sets cost being so demanding

But, honestly ANYONE else...... would be more convincing...

And everytime Calisi delivers her "free at last" monologue, I do an eyeroll, completely unmoved, she's doesn't seem remotely confident... :rolleyes:

The problem with the "sad" plot portion here is that EVERYTHING was well within their control, these were not children or helpless animals, these were adults not leveraging their abilities and opportunities..

LOL.

I've also greatly "analyzed" this emotional extension you speak of.

I accept that emotions are very much part of humanity and is part of our guidance and intuition.

HOWEVER, the world today is different than that of our ancestors. We must remain far more objective in modernity.

I don't repress or deny my emotions. I do however modulate it greatly. So much so that others like yourself may perceive there's a disconnect.

I am Legend... The dog scene. Yeah, you know the one. The first scene, where he's hunting dear in that Mustang with his dog, I KNEW the dog was gonna die at some point.. That mental preparation didn't help. At all.

Other hard hitting movies were AI, The Titanic, iRobot...

Books that have drawn tears were;
Cell by Stephen King
a few of the Harry Potter books
a few pages of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King


I know there are other heart-destroying stories, locked away in my brain somewhere... Oh well. The above will suffice for now.

Also tons of movies have made me cry.  I prefer to watch films alone, so I just let the emotions run wild.  I'll be there cheering for characters, too. A few recent tear jerkers for me: Safety Not Guaranteed, True Grit.

Also, Annie Hall is the only movie that made me cry from laughter.

I am Legend... The dog scene. Yeah, you know the one. The first scene, where he's hunting dear in that Mustang with his dog, I KNEW the dog was gonna die at some point.. That mental preparation didn't help. At all.

Other hard hitting movies were AI, The Titanic, iRobot...

Books that have drawn tears were;
Cell by Stephen King
a few of the Harry Potter books
a few pages of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King


I know there are other heart-destroying stories, locked away in my brain somewhere... Oh well. The above will suffice for now.

I couldn't get into the HP books, because the magic system was broken, and there's no way it'd be used the way it was used in the book.

Titanic, idk, the only actual devastation was the loss of so many lives, But we weren't acquainted with the mob through the story, so that did not draw any emotions.

When Leo died it was like, yea that couldn't possibly be the only piece of floating debris.

I get that you could explain it as if the character was exhausted, entering hypothermia, and just couldn't possibly make it to something afloat, but that is bad story telling if it requires the audience to fill in THAT MUCH DETAIL.

My analysis..

-marriage

-biological defect

-no adoption, out of stubborness or overly self obsessive over the baby being genetically linked.

-no artificial insemination, same ^^

-poor investment plan, jar of coins, really? lose interest, AND suffer inflation

-house payments larger than they could afford

-poor career choice

-poor career path

-emotional distress leading to lowered immune system and general health

-bad insurance from poor career choice

-death

-their own fault.


I'm not trying to kill the magic, but that's what happened.  :eek:


I'm a realist :D

The problem with the "sad" plot portion here is that EVERYTHING was well within their control, these were not children or helpless animals, these were adults not leveraging their abilities and opportunities..

That's why I was not at all saddened by UP

You aren't a realist, you're a noob. Step on a lego.

Did you seriously never get past the point of emotional/mental development where you understand one of the fundamental parts of watching movies is willing suspension of disbelief? Also, what a poor example. Not that I'm going to defend Titanic, which is an atrocious film, but have you ever actually seen a ship sink? Why exactly have you gotten it into your head there'd be debris floating around all over the place - and capable of supporting the weight of a man at that?

I was babysitting my little niece and watched a cartoon. I thought,  oh hey,  might as well watch this.  Little did I know that this particular cartoon is the most sad, heart wrenching story.  I was completely unprepared for it,  and kept thinking that "things will surely get better"  for the main character,  which is a boy who has almost nothing and even loses what little he has.

The name of the movie was "the dog of flanders". And the animation was Japanese.

I am not going to lie.  I cried like a little #@&*.

Another movie that made me feel the same was Ghibli's Grave of the fireflies.

I've attempted to watch grave of the fireflies a few times, it's just like with god fathers, where I was too bored to finish either movies...

Read the wiki on the Nello en Patrasche on wiki just now.. That seems sad indeed..

-- was there any significant symbolism to his death?

To me, the strongest symbolism in the story was both the love and bond of family (including the dog), but also the realities of poverty and the cruelty of those who do not care about the well being of others. In the story they make it quite clear that the world is an unfair place, and not everyone gets a fair chance in life. But they do it without there being a clear villain, just people making decisions in their own interest. I think there was something truthful about the main character dying, and the message (be kind to those in need) would not have hit home if he had not.

There is also another symbolism in his death. He walked around in the cold with nowhere to go. Yet the doors to the church are open. It may not save his life, but he gets to see what he wanted to see most before he passes. When he dies, the animation makes it quite clear that he goes to heaven.

Interestingly, the girl who was not allowed to get near and play with him becomes a nun, working in the church where he passed away. There is no real explanation given, but you get the sense that she wants to repent for the cruelty of her father or maybe help out kids in need.  In her father's attempt to keep her away from the poor, he made her choose a life to assist exactly those people he wanted her to shun.
