Well :I cried


I'm going to go snuggle with my baby boy now.

So did I. It was cathartic.

I finished the movie two hours ago, and I only just pulled myself together. I sobbed through the last 20 minutes and bawled at the end. Then I managed to collect myself a bit during the credits, only to burst into tears afterwards as I reflected on it!

There is really just so much to love about this film and its little family. It was so beautiful and heartfelt, and I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time!

I just found out Phillip Seymour Hoffman died as I was watching this. Jeez. Too much.

I can't imagine what parents must feel watching their children grow into their own individuals and pull away.

I never cried during this movie. Well I never cry during any movie. I never cry at movies. Am I cold hearted? Is there something wrong with me?

reply

No.

I used to say this until I found a movie that did succeed in making me legit cry. And I feel that over the years my defenses (against crying) have degraded massively. Now I cry, or at least well up a bit, from quite a few films. Oh well, it's not an effect I purposely seek out (unless I'm coping with something really awful in real life) so it still surprises me. I teared up just barely during Wolf Children, but I find myself fighting the experience but to little avail.

The first movie to make me cry was Grave of the Fireflies, for those wondering.
