Usually I only cry the first time I see something sad in a movie, but I have always cried at that scene. Always.

omg me to I thought over the years it would get better but nope I always suddenly have to go and make a cup of tea lol. So glad I'm not alone.

I know what you mean. Saw it today and even now, it still tears me up

Agreed. I cried when I was 19 and I first saw it, and I cry now, almost 20 years later. That little boy was SO good!! Excellent direction and acting, from all involved.

They cut to him as an adult right before I totally lose it, another couple seconds and I would be sobbing.

It's very moving, yes.

I'm now a 27 year old guy and this scene has always made me cry or come close to crying. I caught it on TV just now and I felt like crying but now that I'm an adult I have a little self control, lol. The scene is quite relentless really. It just keeps going and doesn't let up.

Me too!! The last time I watched it was the worst because it occurred to me that the four of them had to watch Thomas mourn their loss and not be able to do anything about it.

reply

I cried when I first saw it in 1993 and every time since. The last time was last night.

Life is about letting go, and to see a child go through that, is heart wrenching.
