No matter how often you watch it you cry

The one film i blubber at EVERYTIME i watch it is Bridge to Teribithea, it shows how a child can be affected by the death of someone close, and how they build their worlds on imagination - and how they thrive of fantasy and make believe.

 

I've cried at other films, Moulin Rouge, 40 days of night (lol dont ask), Titanic, Romeo and juliet, The Notebook

 

But Bridge to Teribithea truelly chokes me up...my dad thought something was seriously wrong first time i watched it cause i was roaring as if id been told bad news lol.

 

Now you've said that I think I need to see Bridge to Teribithea. I'd written it off as some kids' fanatasy but you've sold me on it, thank you!

The English Patient, the ending turns me to liquid.

 

Schindlers list, obviously.

 

Also, me and the Mrs took the kids to see Up at the flicks, 10 mins in we looked at each other and both of us had tears streaming down our faces. We were both pretty embarrassed, it's a kids film after all.

I tend to cry at films like Hotel Rwanda, if only because most of the horror and cruelty is a report of what actually happened and it saddens me so much that there is such cruelty in the world.

 

I think it's possibly not to do with the film at all because even thinking about it is making me link emotionally to 'Letter to Daniel'. If you never heard this on Radio 4 I'd seriously recommend buying the book- it was a piece about the Rwandan genocide and the meanings of being a new father, written to a newborn baby by his father Feargal Keane, triggered by him finding a dead baby after the Rwandan genocide and when it was first broadcast on 'From our own correspondent' I pulled to the side of the road to have a good cry.

That was a hard read, I can see why you had the pull the car over.

 

Link to the broadcast for anyone interested.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/41784.stm

 

Shooting Dogs is another great film centered around the Rwanda massacres, probably even more harrowing than Hotel Rwanda and certainly more explicit.
