Did anyone else cry?


This thread has been done on several other movie boards, and I thought this might be a decent addition here.

I was in tears for the last 40 minutes of this movie. Step up folks, who else was bawling their eyes out watching this movie?

By the end, I was crying so hard I could barely breathe. Like, I was physically in pain. It was so emotional, and beautiful, and just all around amazing.

That's nothing. I can count to purple backwards.

lol, well that's lame that someone spoiled the ending for you! But that part at the bridge is when I STARTED crying, and I didn't stop until the very end. My eyes were puffy for the entire following day.

The film was brilliant, and yes i cried. But you would have to be pretty heartless not to.

When Michael reaches out and takes Rory's hand, I had already been crying a bit, at this point I started sobbing hysterically. lol, What a dork, glad I watched it alone.

Exactly, I could tell it was coming, but when it happened, it still hit me like a truck of bricks.

If I didn't cry I wouldn't be human.
Such a good movie. I knew I saw Romola before. Vanity Fair and Havana Nights. She's gorgeous. Havana Nights was a crappy movie but I really liked her in Vanity Fair.

i cried my eyes out not just because of the sadness of losing Rory but bc i have worked for years with people with disabilities, and have lost so many wonderful friends and clients. This brought it all back.

I wiped a tear away. I can't say many movies have left me in that state - Schindler's List, Big Fish are two I remember particularly - but this one was a killer. Like foster, working with people who have disabilities (and having a wonderful fiancée with CP) really helps the film hit home its point a lot harder.

Without a doubt, how could you not when Michael makes that impassioned speech to the board about learning independence? I thought it was a heartfelt and well produced film. I only wish more people could think outside of the box, as it were.

Disability is in the mind- by that I mean, in the minds of those who view disabled people as unable and dependent. I especially liked what the girl (have temporarily forgotten her name as in awe of James McAvoy) said as she left.

Amazing...I cried and I haven't cried at hardly any movie..not even the student one that I was a part of (we used cinematic tricks for that!)...i think above all it was the combination of the storyline with the actors in the leads. Weird to say it but james and steven had this amazing chemistry as two people who came to care about each other because they realized that between them they realized everything that they had never had...if that makes sense. Needless to say, I did cry some...I've watched it full once and the ending twice over. IT kills me.
