Pan's Labyrinth had me bawling like a baby:
Spoiler:The whole film is very confusing, and the plot would be best Wiki'd, so I'm just going to explain the bit that made be cry.
Ofelia is told by the Fawn that the portal back to the Underworld can only be opened by the blood of an innocent, and asks to take a pinprick from her new baby brother. Ofelia refuses, and the Fawn angrily tells her that then, she will never get home. Ofelia's stepfather, Vidal, enters the labyrinth and because he is unable to see the Fawn, he sees Ofelia talking to herself. Because he hates her, he snatched the baby brother and shoots Ofelia in the stomach. While she lays there bleeding, Mercedes, the maid, and the rest of the rebels, enter the labyrinth. They kill Vidal and take the baby.
While Ofelia bleeds, her blood drips down onto the alter at the centre of the labyrinth. She enters a sort of dream in which she is restored to Princess Moanna and reunited with the parents, the King and Queen. The Fawn appears and tells her that because she gave her own life rather than the blood of an innocent, she was returned to the Underworld. Back in the real world, Mercedes cradles Ofelia's body and hums the lullaby to her as she dies, yet Moanna lives on in the Golden Kingdom.
At the end, the fig tree, the restoration of which was the first of Ofelia's tasks, is shown with a single bloom.
It's a beautiful, terrible, terrifying, liberating film that I strongly urge all of you to watch.
love lovelovelovelovelovelove
and yes, i cried at that part too
i've seen Taking Chance. :c it's really powerful, i didn't cry but i felt depressed afterward ;;
The book: I forget the name of it, but I remember this was back in sixth grade, and it was talking about some guy putting a newly born baby to sleep, because people in that book were not allowed to have more than two kids.
I dunno about books, since I haven't read many since middle school and the ones since then weren't really emotive in nature (though during middle school almost all the books we read were emotionally jarring to me, including The Giver), but movies? Oh my. This might sound dumb as hell but most any movie can get me choked up or summon water from my eyes. The key is not so much that it's an emotional moment, but that it's a moment at which the music kind of climaxes (which often occurs in emotional scenes, sad, happy, or otherwise). Sound has a profound effect on me, especially regarding emotional reaction. I'm also just highly emotional in general X3
There's also something else in films that gets me choked up that even I can't figure out what it is or where it comes from. I'll get teary just out of nowhere sometimes. This tends to happen with old Pokemon movies, actually, and some other old things I watched as a kid, so perhaps it's nostalgia?
# Recently I rewatched The Voice of the Forest, and it made me cry.
Spoiler:Just where Celebi is dying, and Ash tries to feed him the berries, and keeps dropping them. I think it's the fact that he's trying to act like it's alright that makes me teary, and then when he breaks down, so do I.
