Brings tears to my eyes

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Brings tears to my eyes

Do you all have something that changes you so much that it brings tears to your eyes? I just got this idea and thought it'd be a nice way to learn about you by finding your emotions. It also tells you a lot about yourself.

Personally, I get all emotional very rarely, and a song would not be the thing to do it. Actually, though, one song does every time I hear it. That's The Last Resort by the Eagles.

Brigadoon. blart every time Tommy goes back to the village at the end and Fiona comes out to meet him - like full on blarting, not just a lump in the throat!

Cinema Paradiso. extended version, when Salvatore and Elena meet again after 40 years. That gets me too, every time.

also like to get a big rush from films like RotK, Master & Commander, Last Samurai, to name some recent ones.

Also I get very moved by H G Wells War of the Worlds, in particular the passage about the Thunder-Child and her defence of the evacuation. Great bit of writing.

there's lots of others; those'll do for now.

Getting kicked where the sun don't shine always "Brings tears to my eyes"

As for emotional tears? I don't really cry with sadness anymore. It freaked me out when my grandmother died last year and I barely felt any sorrow, I got more upset when my dog died when I was 14! I'm a heartless wierdo.
I guess if I'm super stressed out I might shed tears of frustration sometimes

Grave Of The Fireflies

Post Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:21 am

And I may be the first to ask: Wtf?

Post Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:26 am

Nickless, I thought you were asking wtf about the topic. Oops.

Movies like The Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan also make me emotional. Especially in SPR when he's at the cemetary years later. Just thinking about it chokes me up.

Oops, sorry, I'll post sth more reasonable when I'm sober (whenever it may be).

Well The last Time I cried was with Bambi at age 6, since then I have honestly never cried with a movie.
at least not by my own memories.

I sometimes get moved to tears when I work my butt off in sports (which is easy cuz I'm a wimp), but for emotional crying, ehhh... I don't wanna talk about it.

I never cry at movies. Never.

I'm just a corny guy I guess. There is just something about Amazing Grace that will make me blubber away like nothing else will.
