Very little as I’m generally an emotionless husk, but the end of Patriots Day got me, as did that John Cena video… @anon5266188 knows the one I mean.

This was probably the last film I cried at and it was difficult to keep it together at the end in the cinema.

Other than that and the odd song, just the circuitousness of being really, y’know

Large groups singing in unison.
Amazing achievements of humankind.
Tiny versions of toiletries.

Policemen lining up in a guard of honour to salute a dog on its way into the vet for the last time. Hes got terminal cancer and is in to get put down after a lifetime of loyal service.

That photo of Bradley Lowery asleep cuddled up to Jermain Defoe. Such an awesome little hero & this amazing bond between them somehow made it even more poignant.

Man, even just thinking about it now…

Will pretty much cry at anything.

But in particular:

  • sad stories on the news of young children being mistreated/killed
  • stories of people’s fight against cancer
  • thinking about the prospect of my parents dying

So much yes.

Have sworn that i will never ever watch this film with anyone as it reduces me to a wreck like nothing else.

Nearly lost it at a Facebook video the other week of a little girl finding a kitten in her room and tearfully asking her ma (who was filming) if she could keep it. Genuinely don’t know what’s wrong with me. Is this something to do with age?

Isn’t it though

It’s such an amazing cinema trick - the first time you see it, it completely turns you inside out…and all the times after that, even though you know it’s coming, in fact even more so because you know it’s coming, it just pushes all the buttons at once - joy, grief, admiration, romance, nostalgia, loss, coming of age, your own mortality, the beauty of art, the injustice & absurdity of ’moral authority’, the small victories of private rebellion …everything pours out, absolutely everything

Must be something in the genes!!

For me, though, Grave of the Fireflies - and on occasion, when one of the kids says something utterly heartbreaking because of a worry they have.

#72

A truly remarkable feat, nothing other than personal circumstance has ever hit me like that scene. The reality of the passing of time is shown so vividly that it’s a totally devastating realisation.

Devastating indeed - total catharsis
