The last time you were emotionally overwhelmed

[The Bread is Delicious]

I feel about as emotional as a brick right now which I don't exactly consider a good thing.
For me it is probably March of 2003 when my grandpa died. I ended up not even going to his funeral, a foolish mistake of youth that I regret to this day. We had a test in school that day and out of nowhere I started thinking about everything my grandpa had ever done and burst into tears while taking that test. I've cried since then, but that has to be the last really important emotional thing that has happened.

When my Corgi died.

One afternoon i got really bored so i started to actually read it just to find out i rather liked it more then just a Japanese hentai bishoujo game. It became more of an anime then a bishoujo game, like how fate stay night became a great anime from a bishoujo game.
if you don't know what a Japanese hentai bishoujo game is, two words, SafeSearch: off.

I am apparently not a human because up didn't make me sad. The only time a movie has ever made me sad was in Futurama: the beast with a billion backs, when Fry says to Bender "I'm sorry Bender. Robots can't go to heaven." I cried.

What about the Futurama episode with 'the dog'.

I cried at the dog one.

or, (remember, ive loved this series since I was little, the characters feel like childhood friends.) I went back and watched fullmetal alchemist: the conquerer of shamballa. I teared up a bit at the end.


other than that, pets and family death.

Probably when my best friend told me that another friend of ours had died in a car crash. I refused to believe him at the time (given it was halloween...) and gave him a total bollocking saying it's not funny to joke about stuff like that. I really wish I'd been right.

Up.

I mean, it took the movie barely 5 minutes to get me tear-eyed!

That movie got me too...

My mother's 1 and 2 suicide attempt, the others didn't hit me as hard as the first ones did...

Ouch. That sucks man, I'm sorry. One of my good friends attempted it a couple of times, a while ago when I didn't know him so well. According to him and his family I single-handedly showed him how to "look on the bright side of life". He's one of the happiest guys I know now. I'm extremely proud of that achievement.

As for emotionally overwhelmed, I'm reduced to tears during any very sad scene I see in a movie or TV show (notable ones being Reign Over Me, The Last Samurai, the finale to Battlestar Galactica) I get very involved when watching movies.

Up.

This. And the film Hunger.

What a brutally beautiful film.

Oh god,that film was it for me

very brutal but poetic

Great film

What about the Futurama episode with 'the dog'.

Oh God, this was bad! I've rarely seen anything as heartbreaking as the end of the episode. And it's a cartoon!!!

Aaand I<#m throwing the much overlooked 'House of sand and fog' into the mix.

Saving Private Ryan... not even kidding

 

[Katana314]

3 movies have done it for me.

Pan's Labyrinth (complete subversion of expectations in the ending)
Children of Men
Up (mostly at beginning, also a well-known point before the climax)

Pretty much right now.

Spoiler: Incoming emo rant!

It feels like I can't get anything to work out in my favor. The people I was going to get an apartment with for next year went and got one without me, while telling me that I was the last one in the plan, and they saw a good deal so they took it and left me to search on my own. I had no one else I was going to get one with. I'm on my own now. Not that I can't search for an apartment on my own, mind you, it's just that I can't help but feel slightly pissed about the whole thing. Also, the only real friend I have in this town has moved out for good. This guy is my best friend. We'd hit up town a few times a week and generally get up to a lot of silliness. Now, he's moved back home. Me and him were literally the only people from my hometown to come here for college. Now, I'm on my own. Again. I've made a few acquaintances in the dorms I lived in, but no one as close to me as he was. All this has made me realize just how alone I am. I haven't had a girlfriend in 5 years, and I don't think I'd really even count her. On top of that, everyone I know seems to be doing great. The entire world seems to be moving forward but me. I know I sound like I'm blowing things out of proportion, and I probably am, but all these things happening at once is giving me this feeling of crushing loneliness. Ehh, it'll probably all blow over soon.

Thanks for being my shrink, Escapist.

I took my 3-year old brother to see the Frog Princess... I was actually sad when

Spoiler

the firefly died.

Seriously the movie isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be... I mean Kieth David plays the villain!

 

[ffxfriek]

another time was when my ps3 slim 15 days old started i kid you not on FIRE

 

[Hazzaslagga]

I have to say it was probably when i first watched gladiator but I also cried when Godzilla died it was the most traumatic experiance of my childhood,

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

... Huh. That is a toughie.
I think it might have been the time my mum's ex-boyfriend was being an abusive drunkard fuck, yelling at her and hitting her.
I was overcome with a whole bunch of emotions at that. Anger being the most prevelant.
There was a lot of sorrow, though. 'Cause I knew my mum thought she loved him, and I didn't know what to do.

Still, I wish I hadn't cried. It's hard enough to make "leave my mum the fuck alone, you bastard" work when you are eleven years old and diminutive for your age. The last thing you need is for tears to be running down your face.
