Do You Cry?

[Boneasse]

Hey everone! I just finished watching 'UP', the animated pixar film, and before I start explaining anything, I'd just like to state; Damn, that was one hell of a good movie.

Now, I'm not a guy who is easily moved. Sure, I'm probably in contact with my feelings and all that, like the next guy, but save for one instance in Febuary I have not cried in years.

That all changed tonight though.

I was watching 'UP' and, this not being a sad movie, I was surprised at myself when I found enough water in my eyes 10 minutes into the movie, to actually make tears roll down my cheeks.

Of course I am referencing the scene

Spoiler

where Ellie dies and Carl is left all alone, without them having set out on their adventure together.

So there you have it: I've cried two times in years, when my dog died (rest his Soul) and when I watched 'UP'.

So here's one for you:

When was the last time you were saddened, happy or angry enough to shed a tear, if ever? (And are you easily moved?)

[sub]I'm not necessarily talking about wailing or incorehent speech with puffy red eyes. A simple tear down your cheek will do. As long as it wasn't because of the wind in your eyes.[/sub]

Probably when I was a kid and hurt myself. All kids do that. Stupid kids...

 

[SimuLord]

Something really has to break me in order to get me to cry. Like when Buster the rat died. Or when my ex-wife left me. Pain is dealt with by a slew of F-bombs, not tears.

Léon (the professional) makes me sad. Besides that there is the Claymore anime, somewhere around the fourth or fifth episode. The dieing kiddies from Blood+ were saddening too and uhm, some moments in Elfen Lied if i remember correctly.

For some reason Anime seems to be better at making me care about characters then movies. Though mostly just sad, not crying.

I'm a man so I don't cry, I hit stuff. Grrrr.

I know, that's usually the case for me as well. I just gotta hand it to Pixar though. They really know their stuff.

Well, I think it's important to mention that I'm a girl.

I cried at my Grandmother's funeral in January. I think that was the last time I did. (And maybe a few days after.)

I teared up at our Remembrance Day Assembly at school yesterday. I don't often cry, even if I want to. I'm just not built to cry a lot.

But sometimes I tear up for the strangest reasons.

 

[Serenegoose]

I pretty much cannot cry, even when I feel I can't do anything else, it takes something really awful to get me to cry. Very annoying, as the few times I have been able to I found it vented the negative emotions quite well.

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

Not once. One time I did have a clear, salty moisture release from my eyes. I think my body was trying to hydrate me after the long hours spent without water pondering why I decided to buy Fable 2. The taste was terrible but it comforted me knowing that even my body self consciously knew how bad that game was and wanted to help me through the trauma.

That and once I tripped on a curb when I was 6. There was a lot more of that saly substance...

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Emotionally, stuff like the aforementioned Up.

Physically, I seem to have a constant problem with irritants and have a tendency to tear for no reason. The only difference is that these tears somehow burn like hell.

 

[open trap]

the last time i cried was some 5 years ago, and im 14. I am not easily moved.

 

[El Poncho]

I remember almost crying at something recently, I forget what it was though...

 

[PunkRex]

I am a VERY emotional person, I get angry alot and well up from time to time, especially when I feel like im not achieving anything. Of course I just Master Gai it up a notch and use it to fuel my work engine.

TRAIN HARD AND DRAW KICK ARSE PICTURES, THE POWER OF YOUTH IS AN EXPLOSION!!!!!!

 

[Me55enger]

I cried when free willy escaped.

I cried when the aliens lost in Independence Day.

Shed tears for the bad guys folks.

Exactly the same here. Turn the tears into anger, throw around a torrent of creative swear words, maybe punch something, and there you go, sorted. Haven't cried in years.

Edit: Except when I watched Moon. Nearly welled up when he called his daughter. Christ, that film's powerful.

 

[Subzerowings]

I cry at that moment in "Click" where Adam Sandler keeps rewinding the moment that his father said "I love you, son.".

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Not once since I was twelve.
... Well, okay, once. But I was really drunk, so that doesn't count.

It helps that I endeavour not to care about anything.

Only the Devil May Cry.

No, I cried a little, just a little. They were MANLY TEARS OF ACID. But just a little.

 

[Phlakes]

When my pets died, and one time when I had a massive emotional breakdown.
