Does anyone else get really emotional from movies/tv shows?

Post Reply New Topic

I cried at episode 77 of Sonic X but only the Japanese version of it.

No, I'm not very emotional.

The final scene of E.T. gets to me every time. I can't see how it any could not be moved by it.

I got a little misty during the last Doctor Who episode.(I really liked River Song.)

Films:The whole of 'The Thin Red Line'.

The last scene of 'The Bourne Supremacy'

TV:several scenes in '24'. The Death of Tony Almeida in Season 5,and the closing scenes of Seasons 6 and 8

Various Doctor Who episodes especially when the season finale comes around.
LOTR Fellowship of the Ring also is so sad.
Gandalf and Boromir *sob*

Thinking about it, it's the crying/screaming scenes about unobtainable things that seem to set me off, especially if there's a really strong narrative soundtrack behind the dialogue/action. Let me elaborate briefly and forewarning here - spoilers if you've not seen Laputa: Castle in the Sky (in Japanese), nor The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas.


Anyway, in Laputa there's a scene when a salvaged guardian robot goes on the rampage and Sheeta's pleas for it to stop fall on deaf (nee metallic) ears as it goes about destroying the military; mind you, Sheeta as a whole in that filme gets me all fatherly...

Moving on, in The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, the final scene of the film where the Nazi family realise that their son has disappeared and disguised himself as a Jew in a concentration camp, just as he is about to be mistakenly showered... and the music goes silent with the mother screams in anguish, finding Bruno's clothes by the hole under the fence... and the camera pans away from the now-silent chamber door... chilling.

So yeah, stuff like that in films get me tearful - though only if the music and the voice-acting/acting are convincing enough to pull me in.

Oh and moments depicting despair - I can't say it makes me feel happy, but ... I don't know, it makes me feel satisfied somehow and I just like watching it (hence why I'm a huge fan of anime films like The End of Evangelion and Metropolis and also live-action films like The Piano, The Road and Dark Water)

This! I'm finding it really confusing.

TV/movies/music make me really emotional! I don't understand why. How is this even possible? I find it hard to empathise with people, yet these things make me cry my eyes out. Isn't this empathy though?

(Sorry to make this thread open again, but it seemed pointless making a new thread when one existed already)

Yes, and I have no shame.

If I see Littlefoot's mother dying, I'm going to cry.

If I see Lampy using himself as a lightning rod, I'm going to cry.

If I see Lightning getting mauled by alligators, I'm going to- Wait, no. I hate him!

The ending of "Field of Dreams" often makes me feel like crying, though it rarely happens.

Black Beauty ... Five minutes of any scene will have me sobbing.

Adventure Time's "Simon and Marcy" and "I Remember You."

Went to see "Saving Mister Banks" and cried at the scene where Travers finally enjoys the music the Sherman brothers are writing, "Let's Go Fly a Kite."
I also cried at the ending, and the credits showing the actual people the actors portrayed. I chalk it up to being very fond of the Disney TV show when young, and the fact that Walt died two years after making Mary Poppins.

Yes, I cry during some scenes in movies and tv. I also get upset watching some tv programs. I can't stand to see animals get killed in movies/tv when it's not real or in documentaries when one animal kills another for real. It's very disturbing, upsetting. I especially cry when a dog dies because I've had dogs most of my life and have been present when two of them were put to sleep (one was my decision). It always tears me up.
