Hidalgo...well, sort of...
2004-10-03, 6:51 AM #1
Wow. I never expected this kind of movie, and I was pleased with it. I'm also starting to respect horses too. When Hidalgo fell into that trap, I was mad, furious, sad, shocked, almost to tears....but I'm usually an emotionless movie freak. Imagine my emotions when I watched Passion of The Christ 2 weeks ago...

Are there any movies that really triggered any emotions in you?

Well, I recently have seen hildalgo, and I didn't get emotional or anything. But one film that I cried, I really creid and felt a deep saddness inside of me, is at the end of Return of The King. When frodo talks about going back to the way it was, and how he can never go back. I was crying, tears were streaming down my face, in the middle of a theater. When I walked out I got asked if I was alright by 2 of the attendant people, quite embarrassing. Still, even now when I watch ROTK I still get teary.

Hmm, movies triggering emotions. Let's see.

Films like Schindler's List, Braveheart, Fearless and a few others move me and choke me up a fair bit.

As for other emotions, well Spanking the Monkey creeped me out and repulsed me to degrees I didn't know a movie could. Still repressing that. Oh and as much as I enjoyed American History X, the curb kissing scene is one I'll only ever watch once in my lifetime.

The reason I love The Lion King so much is because it made me cry when I watched it again in 2001, the first time in years.

Um. The Iron Giant. The part at the end with the nuke and all that...I think I can handle it now though. :o

usually when animals or robots die. Millions of humans can die and I can't give a crap.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Only movie.

If you like it you should look up The Shawshank Redemption.

It's also directed by Frank Darabondt (sp?) and based on a prison-set novelletta by Stephen King (out of the same collection as "Stand by Me" and "Apt Pupil", none of them are supernatural or outright "horror"). Also a 2+ hour movie.

I wouldn't say that I usually like overly sentimental movies, but I make an exception for this one. The scene with the old librarian on probation is just really sad.

Magnolia. The old man in his deathbed. He just looks too much like my grandfather in his last hospital-bed confined weeks. From his constant disillusioned mumbling, constant medication, the ever-present oxygen tubes going up his nostrils, the wheezing breathing followed by raspy coughing, to just the way that he looks almost exactly the same with his heaving chest and stubbly chin. Trying to say everything that he always wanted to tell or do, but never got around to.

I teared up at Return of the King, and that's pretty much it. I was on an emotional high that night (Trilogy Tuesday), so I wasn't suprised if I would've started to cry. I teared up at the "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" part, specifically.

The Green Mile.

A wonderfully-done, beautiful movie, but I can't stand to watch it because it's so gut-wrenchingly sad.

Yes, some movies made me angry because I wasted my time watching it. Other than that, I don't ever cry when it comes to reading a book or watching amovie. I did like Hidalgo though, I seen it on an airplane. I read that Viggo is a real lover of horses in real life. I think Viggo even took up ownership of that horse in Lords of the Ring.

I cried at the end of The Giver(not a movie that I know of), and at the end of RotK when all of the friends are saying goodbye. There are more, but thats all that comes to mind at the moment.

It's being made into a movie (Why god? It should be left as a book!) The ending made me smile, it was a happy ending I thought. (Well for Johnas and the Twin, not for the towns people :P)

The Butterfly Effect.

Seriously, that's the only movie that has ever stirred up any emotion in me.
2004-10-03, 7:55 PM #24
Three movies that I can remember making me cry:

Jerssey Girl - When this came out, it was only two months till I was going to be a father, thinking of my little baby.

Rainmaker - When I saw it, I remebered a girl I had fallen for and it just brought up things that were really depressing.

Chasing Amy - The speech in the rain when Holden tells her how he feels, it moves me every tme I see it.

Jonas was obviously clutching a dead frozen baby and hallucinating. Not exactly happy.

That got a few emotions going in me, mainly cause I wanted to scream out "Turn around and say hi you fool!" But alas, he didn't.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

I'll just quote the movies. You'll get an idea of what I felt.

Braveheart.
Quote:
William Wallace: I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of tyranny. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Soldier: Against that? No, we will run, and we will live.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade all of that from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!


Shawshank Redemption.
Quote:
Red: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.


And, of course, Lord of the Rings. (I believe this quote pertains to many movies mentioned in this thread)

Quote:
Frodo: I can't do this Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

I must be getting soft in my old age, but I almost teared up while watching "Life As a House" when Kevin Klines character tells his son (Hayden Christensen) that he is dying. I hadn't seen the start of the movie, so didn't see the diagnosis near the beginning.

Yes, along with the horse he rode in Hidalgo.

Titanic.

I know. I know. But the tragedy of over a thousand people dying (and dying while helpless, which I find especially terrifying), combined with the "romance in the face of death", dammit, every time Rose climbs the stairs at the end when she dies and meets up with everyone who died on board... It's heartrending. *sniff*

I loved the Shawshank Redemption, but the Green Mile just didnt do it for me, especially because I had read the book first. The book is far better than the movie was.

Same here I loved the Shawshank Redemption. Green Mile made me laugh though... which I don't want to do in a movie about death row.

im not sure if any of you know this but hidalgo and the desert of fire race or w/e never happened. i know disney says 'based' on a true story and even that is meant to be taken lightly but it never happened and the 'race of a 1000 years' never occured.
