Films/Scenes that made you cry - Suddenly, it started raining...indoors.

Good writing, be it screenplay or literature, elicits the emotion the writer intended. It’s ok to cry, emotions are human, and some people know how to get you to shed those tears.

So, Kiwis, what film or scene from a film left you wondering where these tears are coming from?

For me, it was Glory (1989). It has fantastic actors and a soundtrack from James Horner. Also, it was based on one of the best stories of the American Civil War. The ending at Fort Wagner left me shedding a tear.

I do not have a papa.

It hurts even more if you're in the camp that believes that none of the mystical shit was real and it was just her trying to cope with the Spanish Civil War.

[CWCissey]

I'm not embarrased to admit that Koe no Katachi made me cry, specially the attempted suicide scene.
(the manga is better btw)

 

[Raging Capybara]

- Green Mile
- Cinema Paradiso (this one is a little forced, not one of my favorites)
- The Straight Story
- The Road Home (a mostly unknown chinese movie)

I probably have cried watching other movies but I don't remember, they must have been cheap tearjerkers.

Unironically it's the first film I remember crying at.

MAH NIGGA.

The ending of Blade Runner 2049 is also quite sad, IMHO

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

I didn't cry, because there were people around, but my eyes were full of tears.

 

[J A N D E K]

Eternal Sunshine fucked with me very hard. God that movie.

God damn, yes! I thought I was the only one. I’ve recommended it to people and mentioned how some scenes are brutal tearjerkers... and none of them found the movie particularly sad. It crushes my soul.

2:15 in... too many real feels.

Do we even need me to cheat and list Fry's Dog?

Ending of Saving Private Ryan where they advance to current day and he asks his family was I worth it?

Also cheating a second time, Old Yella.
