Never cried so much!

Maybe I was in a strange state, but when the boy's father shows up to finally come get him at the blind camp, the boy is so happy and relieved (like any 'last kid to get picked up' would be), then says 'I thought you would never come'...then the dad swats his hands away or whatever I just started bawling. To this day my friend will squint his eyes and hold his hand out asking, 'papa?papa? where are you?' I could burst into tears all over again. This movie gets my vote for one of the most heart wrenching of all time. Especially if he does die at the end which I cannot handle...too sad!!

you should watch Tomb of Fireflies, is an Anime Movie but much more dramatic than this one

plz don't reply if you're only gonna say something rude/mean. Thanks.

Why saying rude, I agree with you, "Tomb of Fireflies" is really a drama, but in different point of view.

The males in the theatre when watching this movie were all holding back the tears when Mohammad makes his little speech to the blind carpenter.
Females were all crying hysterically.

You was right, that was a really heart wrenching movie. But I should just mention, that what make this film so, is that you are viewing the world from Muhammed eyes. Madjidi's art come with you, you are in the eye of Muhammed and the tales go on. The movie Note for parents, I think was one of the Madjidi's goals, is that we should sometimes see the world from the children eyes. If the father was so, you should not cry, It is the stark beauty.

Me and my girlfriend were crying like babies almost all the movie; very touching indeed.

Sadly, this movie only was available to some people in my location, so not many besides me and my girlfriend were able to enjoy it.

I blubbed like a baby for days. Isn't it great when a film can do that for you?

Very few movies allow us to introspect and make us realise how lucky we all are. After watching this movie, i went out of the way to be nice to people, even strangers( of course, the after-effects of the movie eventually wore out and i was my evil self again :-)) This movie will haunt u for a long time.

P.S.- Yes, i did cry. i tried very hard not to cry during two scenes- 1.when mohammed's father comes to fetch him from the school and 2.when mohammed talks to the carpenter. but i couldnt stop the tears from falling

I was holding back my tears when Mohammed's father came to pick him up.. so did my husband.

And when Mohammed was crying to the carpenter "Nobody loves me.." I couldn't hold my tears anymore so we both were crying and our 2 y/o son was like "Mommy.. Daddy what's wrong??" LOL and he was about to cry too...

My heart goes for him because I can imagine how he must have felt.. and it's just really aweful to be blind :( Does anyone know if the actor really blind or not??

:'(

Yes, the kid acting is actually blind.

It's great that sensation when a film gets so inside of you. A friend told me that she noticed how I only watch movies that give me that kind of intense feeling, no matter if it's a good or bad one.

If you want to see some shocking intense sh*t, watch "Irreversible". It's a French film with Monica Belucci.

Heart wrenching is an understatement...
Fought the tears for as long as I could, until the scene where he met his grandma that did it for me, couldn't really stop after that. It was a double whammy of the boy's sad story and not being home for 3 years with my grandmother passing away while out of the country.
At the carpenter scene I blurted *beep* this movie while bawling.

Beautiful film.

Having a hearing impaired sister, The intensity of the movie was compounded in my case. The apple that grew in my throat when Mohammad's father came to fetch him became a football when Mohammad poured out in front of the carpenter.
If someone doesn't cry or was not moved while watching this movie, he needs to see a psychiatrist.
Incredible direction and filming. Every actor presented a compelling performance. Esp. Granny and Mohammad. God, I miss my granny.

BTW..I think Mohammad does die. Remember the enhanced aura when granny died?
But then, it is definitely open to different interpretations.
