MANLY TEARS

[esperandote]

I cried when Kutner died in House and more recently when the intern died in Bones. Also, Toy Story 3.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I cried when my first gf died, if that counts as a manly tear.

...

I remember crying when old yeller got put down. And then I remember whne my first dog died I shed a few tears.

...

I try not to cry too often. My grandfather always had a saying that "if you have to cry, you should only shed a single tear, or you'll wash away the memories".

GANDALF!!! NO!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Amazing_G]

Toy Story 3.
I Am Sam.

Nuff' said, niggas.

I don't get it, what was the sad part at the end of toy story 3?

Spoiler alert sorry.

I think he is referring either to the part where andy plays with his old toys, or the part where the almost all die.

 

[dalek sec]

The end of Heroes Part 2 from Stargate SG-1, Doc Fraiser why?

Oh man, now you got me tearing up just remembering that episode... ;___;

For me it's a good chunk of season four of Battlestar Galactica with namely the series finale making me flat out break down in tears during the second half. I swear, less than five minutes left in the show's run and freaking Baltar of all people just makes me lose it and break down, tears and sobbing when he sadly speaks about his past "I know about farming...". It's so bad I can't even watch the ending on my ipod in public for fear of breaking down in tears.

I just hope someone gets to see this who hasn't seen it before. Made me cry the manliest of human tears:

 

[Ldude893]

That scene in Dumbo where Dumbo's mother is cradling her from her cage.

Dear god, it tugs on my heartstrings.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Fucking Clannad after story.
That flower field scene.

To my credit, that was the only time. And only one tear.

Why does Clannad have only two mentions in this thread excluding mine?
That is not acceptable.

Oh god. Clannad, so, so much. And After Story. I cry like a ***** at so many scenes.

I get so emotional at many scenes in Let The Right One In ofcourse... and other films. Like Shawshank and so many others.

Recently I got watery eyes from the book, The Passage.

And Radiohead always moves me to really watery eyes.

Well, for me, my manly tears are restricted to Christmas. Specifically, a song that ALWAYS seems to find me during the holidays.

It might not have as much impact right now, but I'll post it anyways.

 

[Darthtom1013]

The end of Band Of Brothers

 

[Taddy]

My Little Dashie, first time in so many years. And also the funeral scene in Full Metal Alchemist, that was pretty emotional.

 

[Fiad]

The ending scene of Pokemon: The First Movie. Only movie that has ever made me cry. And not ashamed to say it.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Mayes Hughes in Full Metal Alchemist.

Why did they kill him he had a daughter.

Other than that , Radio, Up, Toy Story 3, Letters From Iwa Jima, and the good ending of inFamous 2.

6 times I have cried in my life and 6 times I've cured cancer.

 

[NovaCascade]

Ah I remember that.

Spoiler

I was sitting there just thinking to myself
"Oh my god, it looks like she's going to die. This episode is totally building up to it. They can't do that. She's the main character. That's cruel."
Then, when she'd just given birth.
"Look: She's alive. She's just tired. Everyone's tired after giving birth. No! Why is she falling asleep. Okay, it's a feint. It has to be."
And then, as Tomoya sits there holding Ushio, it's dawning on me.
I sit there, watching. Shocked. And I follow Tomoya in the next few episodes.

A few episodes pass, and I go on with my life. But suddenly something changes. Tomoya confronts reality, and the tension is building.
As this song plays, it all appears to peak.
And there I sit. Afterwards. I had endured it. Everything was alright. They were on the train home now. I was strong. Not even their reunion could break me.
I got through it. It was over. Kyoani had stopped putting me through this...

"...That was what mommy was like.
And...
Mommy... Mommy was...
Nagisa..."

And as those lines break through what little remaining mental guard I have, bringing the full emotional impact of the entire series upon me, everything the dyke I had constructed in my heart was holding back came crashing over me. And try as I might to hold it back; a solitary tear runs down my cheek.

Clannad is the only story - fictional or real - which has managed to have such an impact on me.

Dammit, now you've got me going again :'(

Oh and I thought of another one. The end of His Dark Materials Trilogy.

Spoiler

When Lyra and Will found out they had to live in seperate worlds and close every portal except for the one in the World of the Dead I just lost it. I was honestly expecting them to get their happy ending. But no, Philip Pullman just had to go and destroy all my hope and dreams. When Lyra left Pantalaimon on the shore of the river when she went to the Land Of The Dead was pretty heartbreaking too.

Only books to ever make me lose it, not even Harry Potter got me crying. Because, as awesome as magic is, who has read those books and not wished they had a daemon.

 

[dave1004]

I...uh, don't really remember if I did. The only thing that I've seen that made me sad was Elfen Lied, around, er, four years ago? It's not because I don't cry, if I get hurt I bawl like a little *****, but I'm not often emotionally moved. Well, when I enter a store and see that none of the Twix bars are bought, I may shed a tear or two.

Whenever I feel sad (Or any emotion really) when watching a show, I just remember that it's all acted out and scripted. Then I'm like, Ah to hell with this. Bring on the murder and rape!

Side note: I had a mouse trap snap my finger today. I sobbed for a good five minutes...

 

[deckai]

In the last few years, I was only once on the verge of tears (watery eyes, but no real tears).

A short spoiler if anyone hasn't seen the latest Harry Potter movie and wish to see it(or book for that matter, I guess)

Spoiler

I never was a big fan of Harry Potter, I haven't read any of the books and never watched any of the movies. But Snape's death and his role in the whole story, kinda hit me unprepared.

I found his death, had much more impact than those "cheap" deaths in Bambi and Lion king. Although both scenes got me, when I was little, but I guess you can't call them manly tear...

 

[mocruz1200]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the ending to The Iron Giant.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

few things cause manly tears, what causes your manly tears to appear?

Mine is the end of Captain America (the movie).....he had a date =(

That you Lance?

OT: Crying doesn't help any one ever, I only cry at the ends of movies where dogs die, and not in a manly fashion.

 

[shogunblade]

I cannot say I have ever shed a manly tear, ever. I simply wimp out and cry tidal waves.

No, I can recall One time, and it's not sad at all (This whole post can't be sad, right?)

It's the very Ending of Giorgio Moroder's Metropolis, which is basically the whole original movie done with Music producer Giorgio Moroder creating an All 80s music score with Queen, Pat Benatar, Bonnie Raitt.

The last scene in the movie makes it less of a warning about the future and shoots more for a love story (at least to me), especially when you hear this song.

The clips from the movie that use this particular song, as a whole, make me shed a man tear every time I watch it, but remember, I eventually devolve into tidal waves thereafter.

Also to highlight for manly tears: The ending of Mary and Max, which you should go watch the whole movie, don't look it up divorced from the entire movie, it won't hit you near as hard without context.
