Do You Cry

I Do

I remember watching the movie, Hachi. I cried throughout the entire movie. I told my husband if I had known what it was about I wouldn’t have watched it. A story of a dog's love for his owner. I could not help the tears. It was the saddest movie I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t watch it again. It was a sob story of an epic kind. Movies with dogs always catch my heart. 

Just The Other Day

Gary, my daughter and I went to see a movie last week. It was called, It Ends with Us. Another sob story. Erica and I were crying and even Gary said he loved the movie. It was excellent. If you haven’t seen it, you should go. 

I take my grandkids to the movies a lot. I sob even at the animated ones. We saw one about a bull on this farm. One of his friends went away in a big truck and never came back. Me, being an adult, knew what happened. I cried over that cow. It’s silly but it’s true. 

When you are in a movie theater crying, you try to cry silently. You glance around hoping no one is watching. Your face is a big pile of blubber, red eyes, snotty nose, tears running down your cheeks. If others are doing the same, it isn’t bad but if it’s just you people may stare and wonder what’s wrong. Different scenes trigger different memories for people. 

Too Many Tears

I remember watching Titanic and when Jack was floating in the water with Rose on the raft. The scene was so powerful and crazy you couldn’t help but sob. Emotions. Titanic was one of my favorite movies. Do you remember the movie The Notebook? That was another tear jerker for me. It’s either dogs or love stories. They make me cry. 

Gary doesn’t cry at movies. Maybe it’s a guy thing. Or maybe it’s a woman thing that we do. I recall watching the movie The Jack Bull with John Cusack. The ending so took me by surprise I found myself sitting in my bedroom by myself sobbing. It was such a good movie but I didn’t expect that ending. Totally threw me for a loop. The above photo makes us all smile. Smiling is more beneficial than sobbing. Crying takes alot out of you, while a great smile just brightens all of our days. Smile, its good for you.

Books make Me Cry

There are countless movies or books I can recall that I’ve cried over. Where The Red Fern Grows is another. I didn’t see the movie but the book made me cry. I refused to watch the movie Marley and Me. I read the book and sobbed all the way through it. The movie would have killed me. I’m such a dog lover I cannot bear the thought of them hurt or dying in any way. Plus watching something on a big screen just makes it seem larger than life itself. 

Gary and I watched a movie called Megan’s Missing. It was about child trafficking. I sobbed so hard during that movie. I almost made myself sick. It was a sick disturbing movie that I never want to see again. Once you see it you cannot unsee it. That movie stayed with me for a long time. Anyone with kids would feel the same and should not watch it. 

Sobbing at movies is just something I do. It isn’t intentional, it just happens. Emotions override everything and waterworks ensue. I’m sure I’m not the only one, am I?
