May be cliche, but The Fault in our stars. I saw it as a teenager when it first came out in theaters and from the gas station scene on, I just couldn’t stop crying. Neither could the entire theater tho so it was fine. I definitely see the flaws in it now, but I don’t think a movie has left me that emotional since then.

Every small bit of progress made by the characters makes my heart swell. Every sincere and heartfelt monologue touches my soul. And ON TOP of those tears, I get tears of joy, cuz I’m just watching really solid cinema.

2021-10-29 06:05:26 +0000 UTCI know I’m suffering from recency bias, but for me it’s 1917. There’re several reasons why. For starters, the movie is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography I’ve ever seen. Great score and acting too. But for me, there’s always been something about watching someone risk their life to save someone else that always puts a tear in my eye. When William tells Tom’s brother about how he saved his life, I couldn’t help myself. It just tied the movie together like a nice rug.

2021-10-28 23:24:24 +0000 UTCI'm a dog owner so I DREAD watching Marley & Me. If I had to pick one, it's definitely Warrior, especially that final fight between the brothers. The film gets me emotional, but that end fight just wrecked me knowing of each character's motivation. The intensity in Hardy's face really sells it for me.

2021-10-28 15:40:01 +0000 UTCLukas Moodysson’s Lilya 4-ever (2002). It’s probably the most emotionally devastating film I’ve ever seen. Why? Because it’s about the gradual spiritual destruction of an Eastern European girl who is abandoned by her mother and then…things just get a lot worse from there. Not exactly a comedy. Lars von Trier might say to take it down a notch. But the film is actually very good. Its intent is to follow a life that, like many around the world, gets lost to a very sinister practice in our society, and to show the person behind it. Moodysson handles the difficult subject matter very humanely and a good lead performance is given by Oksana Akinshina. You’ll like the movie, but you’ll never want to see it again. I was an emotional wreck after watching it.

I think we all feel at times moments when we wish we didn't exist or feel that the world wouldn't miss us if we were gone and that movie serves as a reminder that we have a purpose in life and a greater impact on others then we realize. It's a life affirming film.

2021-10-28 09:20:34 +0000 UTCI can count on one hand the number of stories that ever got a tear from me but the one that fucked me up more than any film I've ever seen was Make Way for Tomorrow. It's a forgotten Depression era masterpiece from Leo McCarey that was the influence for Tokyo Story. The difference is that the elderly couple lose their home to foreclosure and have to live with their children. Problem is that they live in separate houses miles apart from each other and none of them can take both because of their own children they have to care for. After being together for over 50 years, they have to live apart until the last half hour of the film when they have one last time together in New York before the husband moves to California with another relative where he might never be with his love again. The final scene at the train station where they knowingly say goodbye to each other possibly for the last time ever had this man in his 20s crying for 20 minutes straight after that ending. That's not an exaggeration. Orson Welles even talked about it saying that it would make a stone cry. I hope you review this one someday.
