Crying at films

Post Reply New Topic

I'm capable of crying at movies, but I did laugh when that guy hit the propeller in Titanic.

I don't usually cry at films, although I have appeared to give a little tear at a few films and stuff.

Nope. I find it really weird when NT's do. How can you emphisize with a fictional character? As a kid I could never feel any kind of emotion twoards people aside from anger and fear. If an animal got hurt in a movie it was usauly because a person did it to them. I felt anger towards the person who hurt the animal but I never felt any sympathy for the animal. If a person hurt another person or an animal hurt another animal I was never phased. Animals in movies are now trained to pretend they are hurt but aren't really hurt. If an animal hurt a person, the people usualy fourmed a posse and tracked the animal down to kill it. I hate these kind of movies. Even if the animal in the movie was just being a punk and was out to hurt people for sport it still makes me angry when they kill it. Don't even get me started on the Yearling. What a selfish bunch! The story was supposidly true and the people were Christians. What part of "Thall shall not kill" didn't they understand? First the dad trades his dog for a gun, then he kills the mother deer to use its organs to suck out snake poison (I guess they killed the snake too) and then they kill the baby because it's eating their crops. The scary part is that there actualy are people like that in the real world today. But what really really irks me are those wildlife filmmakers who film something that would be so easy to stop or even should just get out and help the poor creature (If I ever find that bastard who filmed that poor baby meerkat dying as it slowly baked to death in the heat, that jerk will definetly be getting a peice of my mind. The meerkat manor crew are a shady bunch anyway. f*****g bastards! I hope they all get eaten by lions. ). I was so obsessed with Lion King and watched it all the time but never once cried when Mufasa died. Maybe it's because I have seen it so often and I know he's going to die and I know that after Mufasa dies Timon comes on. Or maybe it's because Mufasa never actually seemed truely dead to me. When I saw Old Yeller, I was more facinated with rabies as a disease wanted to know what caused it to begin with; not how the animal contracted it, but how it evolved in the first place. Rabies seemed like the coolest disease ever. I think I even went through a phase where I wanted to get it. I always assoaited color to words and the word rabies was the most vivid shade of crimson red.

I cry in movies but only when I go alone. Icant cry with people there. I also find it difficult for me to connect with the characters when I'm with other people. I don't know why.

I cry at films, but I don't enjoy that.

I have been confused by people talking about deliberately making themselves upset, but recently I have had a couple of moods where I feel like crying but I can't. I think crying releases something and makes you feel a a bit better, so I try to listen to sad music or something that might trigger me to cry when I'm in these moods. So maybe it's like that. I think I've read a theory that crying releases excess hormones in our tears, and balences us out again. I don't know if there's any truth to that, but I think it can make people feel better afterwards.
