Crying at films

All you 'modern emotional men' - it's acceptable crying at a real life situation but it's fiction ffs, IT'S NOT REALLY HAPPENING!! :o You should be embarassed.
 
Try watching any Korean movie without being emotionally scarred for life,
Esp. a movie called 'Windstruck'

Then cheer yourself up with something like 'Oldboy'

Not a film but how about in Futurama - 'Jurassic Bark' - when Seymour is shown sitting on the kerb until he dies of old age :( :(

Most likely to get a tear bit of Futurama is when Leela's parents are about to let her kill them for 'killing' her parents rather than admit to her that she's from a mutant family. Gets a lump every time.

LEELA
(angry) And what about this?! How did
you get this bracelet? Did you steal
it from me when I was a baby? Or from
my parents. You robbed my parents, didn't
you? I bet you sick mutants killed them.
My parents were confused aliens lost
on Earth and you killed them! Is that
it? Admit it!


HOODED FIGURE #2
(sombre) Yes. We killed them.


HOODED FIGURE #1
You guessed the truth.


[Leela screams.]


LEELA
Because of you I'll never know my parents.
I'll kill you!


[She raises her gun.]


HOODED FIGURE #1
That would be best.



That and the end of 'Luck of the Fryrish'. Named for his uncle. :(

Anything where someone shows some kind of selfless act like at the end of C4's "The secret Millionaire" where the people receive the money and it means so much to the...totally welling up.

Also the last episode of Band of Brothers.....
 
When I first watched the Green Mile for sure. Usually animal related films when they die at the end, Turner and Hooch, K9, etc.

Can't remember any recently...
 
Since becoming a father, anything (literally anything) that involves kids losing their parents, or parents losing their kids I find it hard not to get upset.

If its adults in danger/upset etc then fine it doesn't really bother me but kids I can't cope with.

The last scenes of AI I can't watch when you know at the end of the day she won't wake up. Knowing gets me when he has to let his kids go.

It has to do with their hormonal system as far I am aware and their low levels of testosterone. Males which have high levels of T are insulated against the effect of emotional impacts to a greater degree than women.

A nice theory (with some scientific basis) but I have male-pattern baldness which indicates a high level of testosterone, and still weep like a child at the end of the Royle Family episode 'The Queen of Sheba', so now where do we stand? :p
 
I watched Marley & Me on a flight not long ago and was welling up at the end. It's a terrible film, why end it like that :(
 
I must admit i made this thread ready for a good ribbing and a bit fun...was really amazed at how many people were honest enough to say the had the odd tear fair play people...and yeah as said you can really tell from the responses how many of them have hair on thier balls :p

Check for oestrogens? :) (spell?). Anyway, there are many hormones, and I referred to a hormonal imbalance with an example of testosterone. Baldness is not only due to high levels of testosterone as there are other reasons that cause it too. Therefore do not directly assume that by being bald you are supercharged with T (it's an indication but not proof).

Btw, I'm not suggesting that males should/must/can not cry at any movie, but when it's disproportionate (compared to the average male population or in relation to understandably 'silly' movies) then it is an indication for some kind of hormonal imbalance as far as I am concerned!

Again, there is nothing wrong with it. I suppose that people find it much harder to believe that they have an protruding female side and try to explain it away with other socially related reasons.

As above that could be for any number of reasons.

Someone hasn't watched Watership Down.

what about this?

I have watched it, and it's a great film, but it still didn't make me cry or anything like it, as it's a cartoon and in my mind I must have been sub-consciously thinking; 'what's to get upset about, this isn't real'.

Don't get me wrong, I have been known to cry in real life so I'm not some kind of heartless psychopath, but a cartoon...?
 
I've never properly bawled at a film but I do seem to get a tear in my eye quite a lot nowadays (never cried when I was younger!) It all started with Lord Of The Rings, I'm far too emotionally connected to those films, the music gets me more than anything!
 
I have a stupidly high level of empathy so i cry at loads of films and shows. However i never cry in real life events like when people i was close to die.
 
Only the once as far as i can remember...watched "a walk to remember" with the wife when we were both hungover...she started bawling, then so did i :(


I was also so very close when watching 7 Pounds, the part where will smiths character was giving the blind chap a hard time on the phone, cant really explain how i felt watching that.:mad:

Jesus, just watched it again...horrible
