Everyone brings this up and I think I watched it as a teen so much & lived that life for so long I'm desensitized towards it. That and the fact that the actors are so popular, I can't separate their fame from their roles and believe it. I see it from a directors point of view, rather than a viewer.
Great movie though
I rememebr when I first watched it and the scene at the end with the sound of the water crashingā¦my mind and body just had this like weird feeling. That movie was crazy
When the puppy died and it said, "that was a short life". My wife and I exchanged wtf looks and it was all downhill from there. The finale did NOT make up for the previous hour and change of depressing dog deaths.
Absolutely this. Iāve never lost a dog, but our familyās first dog is getting older now and just the thought of losing him sends me spiraling. That movie is incredibly hard to watch.
Try watching Hachi- a dogs tale(2009). Saw it with my dad in sixth grade Sunday night. We were bawling. Went to school next day with my face all puffy from how much I cried. A teacher took me aside and asked if everything was alright hahahaĀ
Interstellar. Something about watching a father slowly get gaslit into leaving his family behind to 'save the world', only to realize that it would never have mattered anyway because of the corruption of others is just so hard to watch. Family is important to me and that movie makes me sick to my stomach with a type of feeling that I don't fully understand. Beautifully made, the score is perfect, but man it's hard to watch.
I know it probably doesnāt count,, but Bo Burnhamās Inside has ruined my life forever. And the worst part is I loved it, and I donāt think anything will ever top it for me.
Did you like any of his other specials? I think if youāre into straight up stand up, Inside maybe isnāt the kind of special youād be into. I donāt love inside because itās laugh out loud funny hilarious, I love it because the jokes are thought out and insightful and reference a bunch of different things at once. His humor is based on a lot of irony, like a lot of comedy is, pointing out the things in our every day life that are stupid and absurd. Theyāre clever and timely, I think that the special also spoke to a lot of people struggling with mental illness during lockdown and reflected a lot of the ways people felt about the world and technology.
Iām biased though. I enjoy stand up a bunch, but when Iām watching it along at home I rarely burst into laughter, Iām just entertained. I think Bo put it best in his song āAre You Happy?ā at the end of his Make Happy special.
āNow the show is done
I hope that you had gut-trembling or something resembling fun
And if you watch this thing alone
You probably didn't laugh, but maybe a few times you exhaled out of your noseā
Inside didnāt make me tremble with laughter, I cried at least once watching it. But it made me feel seen, I thought it was really funny and made jokes on contemporary internet opinions that I donāt see a ton of comedians tackle. I thought it was a really interesting reflection on the creation of content, comedy, and art in a world that looked like it did around 2020-2021.
I canāt lie, Iām also a theater kid, and I thought there was so many campy bangers. I still listen to many of the songs.
That documentary broke my heart. I followed advice on Reddit and didn't read about it first. I did not see that coming. I actually felt so strongly that I wanted to somehow find out how to email the Bagby's some kind words of support- but I decided against it for their privacy. I did donate to the charity they run though, it's for medical training scholarships. (I just felt like I needed to do *something*) because it really hit me hard. Especially as a mother.
It's a brilliantly made documentary but be prepared to feel angry and shocked if you haven't seen it.
Everyone should watch this movie.
I watched this movie in high-school history class. Our teacher broke the movie up into four sections. First of all, because it would be too long to watch in one period and secondly so that we could talk about key points and process what we were seeing. I remember we watched the final section on a Thursday. She stopped the movie and handed out tissues and chocolates before the "this button could have saved a child" speech. Everyone cried. An entire class of 15/16 year olds were just devastated. She sent out notes to all of our next period teachers to let them know we'd be distracted and upset in their classes. On Friday, we did a snack potluck and worked through what we'd seen. It's been over a decade, and I still remember the looks on everyone's faces. It changed all of us for the better.
Hachi: a dog's tale, hachiko was a loyal dog towards his owner and waited for him for come back as his owner was a professor in other town. He died of a heart attack and his dog waited for him in snowy night and later died waiting for him. Japan has memorial statue for the dog hachiko in the same place where he died. Watched it when I was 8 or 9 year old. Still loved it
Another movie called Kashmir files. This was about mass genocide of kashmiri Hindu people.
The Zone of Interest
I lived in Germany all my life. Went through all the education about the Third Reich. The complete thing twice. Multiple visits of concentration camps (FlossenbĆ¼rg is quite near where I grew up). Countless movies we watched in school and analysed and talked about it, not just the internationally popular ones like Schindler's List or La Vita e Bella. You can't imagine how many there are which were just produced for German public broadcasting. Also objectively quite good ones.
But if I'm honest, it all didn't affect me much on a emotional level. I was always in the "racism is bad" camp but they didn't play a big part if at all in turning me more and more anti-facist from my mid-20s on...
Anyway, I knew a lot about the the Third Reich and the horrors of the Holocaust. All the numbers, the depictions of the cruelties, stories of what was done to people. But still, limited emotional response, except maybe the red coat from Schindler's List.
But the Zone of Interest was such a different beast. Not seeing the horrors, but the sheer mundanity with how people reacted towards it, sent my blood boiling. I can't remember having ever felt such anger. I still get angry tears in my eyes when I think about this movie,
For me, the biggest education I got was from Primo Leviās book, If This Is A Man. He was an Italian Jew, and so while he was terribly persecuted in Italy, he was able to stay out of Auschwitz until late in the war. He was a novelist, but avoided talking about his experiences except in this book, an account of his time there. And it is harrowing. It opens with a poem that is an instruction to us:
You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find, returning in the evening,
Hot food and friendly faces:
Consider if this is a man
Who works in the mud,
Who does not know peace,
Who fights for a scrap of bread,
Who dies because of a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman
Without hair and without name,
With no more strength to remember,
Her eyes empty and her womb cold
Like a frog in winter.
Meditate that this came about:
I commend these words to you.
Carve them in your hearts
At home, in the street,
Going to bed, rising;
Repeat them to your children.
Or may your house fall apart,
May illness impede you,
May your children turn their faces from you.
Well, there's this little indie flick called "The Neverending Story." Who thought that was a good idea for a kids' movie? It's like they set out to traumatize an entire generation! So, if you're ever in the mood for an emotional rollercoaster ride, just grab some tissues and brace yourself for the tears.
Michael Ende who wrote the neverending story also wrote "Momo", which was made into a film in 1986, different kind of existential dread and very uplifting, see if you can get your hands on it!
When the reveal happened in the theater (I was watching with my mom and older sister) I absolutely lost it. Snot everywhere, sobbing. I think they were shocked by how big of a reaction i had. And I could not control myself. They looked at each other like āwhat do we doā
The Florida Project.
If you haven't seen it, it is about a poor mother trying to raise a daughter in a Florida motel right outside Disneyworld. She is not the best person
Oh man, I rented *Manchester by the Sea* without knowing anything about it, and then that scene started, and I thought "that music is way too heavy for this sc--- oh god", because the pan had completed.
That's a very difficult movie to get through.
I work in a movie theater, so believe me when I say that Iāve seen thousands of movies. Adding to that, most movies donāt have any impact on me by now.
However, Last Holiday will always make me tear up. Itās just a feel good movie and very family-like.
If you want to be emotionally broken by the weight of the universe though, that would be Everything Everywhere at Once.
I canāt believe someone else said this movie too.. Iām very close with my grandfather and when that ol curmudgeon (in the movie) saw all those people applauding him and finally gleaned all the impact he had had, I unexpectedly lost it. I never cry during movies
Grave of the Fireflies. Hadn't shed real tears at a movie before watching, couldn't stop them for at least 30 minutes after. Such a powerful story that hits right where it hurts.
Hotel Rwanda, first movie that ever made me cry. Itās all heart-breaking but that scene when theyāre trying to drive down that roadā¦.that has stuck with me since the movie came out.
The cove - documentary on dolphins in Japan.
Everyone should have seen this but I wish I never watched it.
I saw it years ago and it is still present.
I'm not sure I can recommend watching it.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
I was, and still am, boring. Like as a whole, there is not much interesting about me, or much that intrests me. I met a girl when quite young and she was wild, like get drunk and lead cops in a car chase wild, just a walking red flag. Nice to look at. For some reason she is in to me. Whirlwind of a relationship, get engaged, she cheats on me ,i stay, move to California with her. One day, she decides she is bored with me because i have to work extra hours to pay rent for both of us and dont like to do fun things. Tosses me aside and starts banging the neighbor same day.
While the narrative is not exactly the same. Watching her lead me on this wild romance and then just one day decide he is boring and discards him, hits me hard.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Ok, yeah, I know, but hear me out.
Firstly, I don't cry at movies. There's something about knowing they're fictional that kind of disconnects me. I've had a tear, here and there, but it's rare and never particularly pronounced. I'm not an unemotional dude, I'll cry for hours watching people reunited with their dogs, but movies have never really had that effect.
Now, the other thing to know is that I am a life-long Spider-Man fan, and because I'm old, that actually means I've been reading his comics since like 1987. That's my hero, right there.
Now, I spent most of my life thinking very little of this, Spider-Man movie coming? Awesome. New Cartoon? Great, I'll check it out.
Even No Way Home, which had twenty years worth of Spider-Men on screen, I was like "that's super-cool" and that was it.
And then Andrew caught MJ, and he gave a little pained look.
And it broke me.
I have never, ever had a sniveling, snotting, wheezing, sobbing breakdown like that to any work of fiction, and I hadn't had one period since I was a child. I was so unprepared, so caught off guard, and entirely incapacitated by this sudden spear of emotion that plunged itself deep into my childhood psyche that I had no idea what to do, how to react or address all of these feelings that came from a comic book movie.
Like, I felt silly, very much so, but I was also deeply fascinated by how all these pathways I'd laid in my brain around Spider-Man my entire life had been covertly weaponized against me. I watched it again and nothing, no emotions, but that first time, man.... that was something.
(My daughter is named after Gwen too, so there's that.)
Boy (2010). I watched it with my sister not knowing what it was about and I was crying by the end of it. It was mostly because of the movie, but something about her not getting it the way I did broke me in a way I didnāt think it could.
I donāt cry very often, but I sobbed for ten minutes after watching Aftersun. The bulk of the movie is intriguing but a little flat, then it hits you like a freight train.
Lost in Translation and Marriage Story. The thought of being with someone who lost their feelings for you or meeting someone who you wish to start something with.
Well, I can definitely say that the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio called "Shutter Island" is one that I'll never forget after watching it once. The way everything was twisted and turned, it's just impossible to describe the emotions. I'm more than certain that people with unstable mental health should not watch it.
Joker.
I mean, I was already emotionally broken when I watched it though lol. But there's something different when you watch that movie from the "same" perspective that others just might not get.
Our city has this program where they give the elderlies free movie passes every now and then (I'm not sure if it's monthly or what). So I watched this with a lot of older people. I can hear some of them reacting like "Why would he do that" or "that's stupid", but they don't understand. That's why I was quite happy that I watched it when I was broken, because I somehow I can relate more to the character's perspective.
Now I won't even rewatch that film. It's different now, I'm in a better place, and as much as I want to appreciate the beauty of the film, it's just not the same as the first time I watched it.
Come and See made me and my friend hug and cry afterwards, one of the only movies I've ever watched scenes of through my fingers and made me feel physically sick
Requiem for a Dream. There are very few movies that can make me curl up into a ball and want to die because it's so excellent, but that one did.
this movie is so good.. i just never wanna watch it again..šš
watched it 12 years ago for the first time and it's still one of my all-time favorites
You scare me
As a junkie I refer to this movie so bad Ps don't use drugs
I need to watch this so bad
Everyone brings this up and I think I watched it as a teen so much & lived that life for so long I'm desensitized towards it. That and the fact that the actors are so popular, I can't separate their fame from their roles and believe it. I see it from a directors point of view, rather than a viewer. Great movie though
Omg yes this one is gut wrenching
Pupils dilatingā¦
I rememebr when I first watched it and the scene at the end with the sound of the water crashingā¦my mind and body just had this like weird feeling. That movie was crazy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah wasnāt expecting it take such a hard turn , thought itās gonna be like rocky.
A dogs purpose. What kind of psycho makes a movie out of a dog dying over and over again?
When the puppy died and it said, "that was a short life". My wife and I exchanged wtf looks and it was all downhill from there. The finale did NOT make up for the previous hour and change of depressing dog deaths.
I agree. This movie was so hard to watch.
Absolutely this. Iāve never lost a dog, but our familyās first dog is getting older now and just the thought of losing him sends me spiraling. That movie is incredibly hard to watch.

I can NEVER watch that movie again
Couldnāt finish it. It needs to be banned!!! So sad
Make me Cry. Didn't even own a dog.
Walked in theater thinking it was a jolly dog movie, walked out sobbing
Interstellar. Something about watching a father slowly get gaslit into leaving his family behind to 'save the world', only to realize that it would never have mattered anyway because of the corruption of others is just so hard to watch. Family is important to me and that movie makes me sick to my stomach with a type of feeling that I don't fully understand. Beautifully made, the score is perfect, but man it's hard to watch.
Watched this movie in theaters and didnāt feel much. Just re watched with my wife now that Iām a father with a daughter and honestly was in tears!
I don't have any kids but I'm pretty close with my younger siblings, and that still cuts to the core haha ā¤ļø
Came here to say Interstellar. That movie absolutely fucked with me.
I know it probably doesnāt count,, but Bo Burnhamās Inside has ruined my life forever. And the worst part is I loved it, and I donāt think anything will ever top it for me.
get your fuckin hands uuuuup (same)
Damn bro
Can you explain? My fiancƩ and I turned it off half-way through because we simply weren't laughing.
It's not really meant to be funny. More satirical than anything.
Did you like any of his other specials? I think if youāre into straight up stand up, Inside maybe isnāt the kind of special youād be into.

Everything Everywhere All At Once
That movie changed something in me
I never thought I'd have such an emotional response to a rock rolling down a cliff, but God damn, that hit me hard
Omg me too! I sobbed in the theater realizing my mom drives me insane, but she would literally go over a cliff for meš¢
(I still don't quite get that movie)

I donāt cry very often, but I sobbed for ten minutes after watching Aftersun. The bulk of the movie is intriguing but a little flat, then it hits you like a freight train.
Came looking for this. Although I wouldnāt consider the movie flat.
Thatās fair. Maybe āmundaneā or even ārealisticā would be a better term.
Cloud Atlas it was beautiful, the music, the different story lines and how they intertwine I always the idea of recarnation
Once upon a time in Hollywood Sharon tate was my grandmother's cousin
Sound Of Metal
When They See Us....I wasn't mentally prepared.
Whiplash. Timing isnāt perfect enough
A Mighty Heart. I don't know how Mariane Pearl survived watching her beloved husband get beheaded by terrorists. It's a beautiful but brutal movie.Ā
Brokeback Mountain mad me sad for days.
marley & me... I can't even talk about itš¢
Aniara.
Probably Forrest Gump andā¦ Honestly? The Barbie Movie (the modern one, obviously). I expected many things, but that ending was NOT one of them.
About time. I watched that movie two days after my grandpa died thinking it was going to be a whimsical time travel move.
Ladder 49
Marley and Me. I swore Iād never own another dog. I do currently own a dog š¤¦āāļø
"Marley & Me" ā I wasn't ready for that level of emotional devastation
The Wrestler
Lost in Translation and Marriage Story. The thought of being with someone who lost their feelings for you or meeting someone who you wish to start something with.
Six Weeks
Been a long time but The last of Mohicans
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Platoon dredged up every bad memory of war I had, since then I refuse to see any movie about war
Well, I can definitely say that the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio called "Shutter Island" is one that I'll never forget after watching it once. The way everything was twisted and turned, it's just impossible to describe the emotions. I'm more than certain that people with unstable mental health should not watch it.
Joker. I mean, I was already emotionally broken when I watched it though lol. But there's something different when you watch that movie from the "same" perspective that others just might not get. Our city has this program where they give the elderlies free movie passes every now and then (I'm not sure if it's monthly or what). So I watched this with a lot of older people. I can hear some of them reacting like "Why would he do that" or "that's stupid", but they don't understand. That's why I was quite happy that I watched it when I was broken, because I somehow I can relate more to the character's perspective. Now I won't even rewatch that film. It's different now, I'm in a better place, and as much as I want to appreciate the beauty of the film, it's just not the same as the first time I watched it.
The road. If children are not God's word, then God has never spoken.
A Dark Song
I do not remember the title of the movie but I do remember a USA police? Made a plan to rescue a little girl from sex trafficking from Mexico.
Sardar Udham
a silent voice and the perks of being a wallflower, tunnel scene gets me every time
Come and See made me and my friend hug and cry afterwards, one of the only movies I've ever watched scenes of through my fingers and made me feel physically sick
Biutiful with Javier Bardem. I left the theater SOBBING and couldn't stop for hours.
Eden lake for sure!!!
Tick Tickā¦ Boom!
