Is it wrong to cry
 

....at the end of a sad film?

Just watched 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' - me and Tattoo Girl sobbed our hearts out and Mr Sinky had a go at us :frown:

Don't men ever cry at sad films then?

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Oh God don't get me started...............

Field of Dreams........... right at the end, when he meets his dad.......... Niagara Falls job.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

........... and by an amazing coincidence, Sky News has just announced the death of JG Ballard, author of 'Empire Of The Sun', which even the commercially-obsessed Steven Spielberg couldn't ruin.

Christian Bale was stunning as the boy ('Jim'), and I cried at the bit where he salutes the kamikaze pilots who are being honoured just before they take off. Stunning........... must be a You Tube link for that.................

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Was the film really sad though or was it because that struck a chord with you?

I'll tell Mr Sinky then that men do cry at sad films. I know his grandad used to get all emotional over Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons and my brothers used to tease him rotten. Perhaps Mr Sinky is just too young to be man enough to cry.

THE FOOTBALL FACTORY.

I couldnt stop crying when chelsea go "done" by millwall in that movie.

A travesty if ever there was one....

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I cried when Steven Gerrard scored an injury time equaliser in the 2006 FA Cup Final ....

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Wasn't sad as such............ more like tears of joy............... the ending was somewhat unexpected.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Real men cry....FACT.

I've sat onboard a warship with a mixture of sailors, bootnecks and shakyboats watching movies only to see some of the UKSF's finest bubbling away to forest gump...

If you don't cry then your a breakdown waiting to happen.

Let it out fella's.

I openly admit to bubbling when tom hanks was vitteled at the end of saving private ryan...

And also when that cow daniella got malleted by janine butcher in eastenders and died in her mums arms....boy there wasn't a dry eye in the commanders house that night.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

when did that happen in EE? recently?

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

last week...one of the most stupid story lines ever...glad she is dead

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Daniella the young blonde lass who is Ronnie's daughter? I keep forgetting to watch it, so what was that all about then? Janine has murdered before, back to jail for her it is :)

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

SHe ran her over by accident. I hadn't seen EE for years, now that its on showtime i have started watching it again, its weird tho how you can just get back into story line with EE.

Lol my son says its the most depressing show ever.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

it's on at 2 pm today, going to tape it watch it later. It is depressing though :huh:

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

****, ive inadvertently started a ****ing eastenders thread...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

one of the many things you have to answer for mate !

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I admit I watch it..... but when you've lived with crap Italian TV for years, almost anything that is in English is a delightful change. Even EE.
They are all living such miserable lives, it makes me feel great about my own. :thumbsup:

I just wish that mad woman - Stacey's mum would leave.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

she needs locking up that one...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I'm only human...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

and I thought you were half man / half beast

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

No...You're mistaking me with The Dean, who is half man/half woman/half beast...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Is she still in it? Haven't watched EE for ages...living in Siberia is eerily similar to EE........:eek:

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

omg, i sobbed my heart out too over that film...have you seen the reader...?

MM, xx

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

This has become the "Madam Medusa's Ten Greatest Films Featuring Racist Regimes" thread.............

I always get emotional at films that show the human spirit overcoming the odds.............. Shawshank, anyone?

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

ohh, did i forget to mention schindler's list...

MM, xx

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Brilliant movie. One of the all time greats

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Better than the slightly overrated Green Mile, I think (same director - he obviously likes men in prisons).

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

No, is it good - I always buy a couple of dvds at the airport and I saw The Reader. What's it about?

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

holocaust, lol...it's brilliant, and i'm not a kate winslett fan normally...

MM, xx

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I can watch that film over and over again, it's superb. But, it doesn't make me cry.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I'll keep my eye out for it.

Another weepie was the BBC production of Tess of the D'Urbevilles - so much anguish and misery and sadness all rounded off with a good sob - nothing quite like it.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

In Lebanon, whenever we go to watch Indian movies we take a pack of kleenex with us...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Is that because they're a load of s**t? Because I have to say we're discussing crying not cr@pping!

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

No...Crying...

And be careful about labelling Indian films as shit and crap...The Dean will call you a racist, even though he fancies your avatar and also uses kleenexes sometimes...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

I love Bollywood!

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Yet two posts earlier you said they were shite...Hmmm...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

As I was saying................ the first part of this (as the young Christian Bale salutes the kamikaze pilots who are about to take off, and sings that stunningly beautiful song) is as moving a scene as you could wish to see.

Cry? Not really - but it's shivers up the spine stuff.........

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

Ooh you fibber - I could have meant 'salt' or 'sweat' or 'scent' or 'stoat', even 'sleet' or 'shirt' - it could even be something else completely other than those words......

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

No...

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

The one film that really did make me cry was "Stepmum" with Julia Roberts and the red head one ... Sarandson or something.

I might not have cried if I had not have had kids of my own. I think the crying factor was in imagining how one would personally cope in that kind of situation ................. and if you put yourself in that situation - it makes you cry.
As a mummy anyway.

Re: Is it wrong to cry
 

so do I! anyone got any good Bollywood they fancy loaning out :)
