Re: Did you cry? (be honest)

I think that all three of the LOTR movies made me cry at different points in my life. The first time I saw The Fellowship, Boromir dying didn't make me cry. It did make me sad, but not enough to cry (I can usually keep a pretty strong hold on my emotions). One day, however, I was feeling really emotional, and decided to watch it again. I cried when Boromir died, and when Sam runs into the river to go with Frodo. "I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee. And I don't mean to...I don't mean to."
I also cried at The Two Towers when Haldir dies. The music at that part just gets to me. Also Sam's speech, in conjunction with all of the other things going on at that part. I know it's corny when Gandalf shows up with Eomer and rides down that impossibly steep hill, but it's still a cool part.
The Return of the King got me when Frodo told Sam to go home, and when Frodo says "Sorry Sam" when Sam isn't there. When the Eagles come, I always get chills, and will cry when I'm feeling emotional. Then, when Frodo (and Gollum) destroy the Ring...all of their reactions are just so beautiful. From there, pretty much the whole ending gets me. After my Grandmother died, I watched the harbor scene a lot to help me cope with letting go. Needless to say, I bawled. "Into the West" has really helped me get through some hard times. Sometimes you just need to cry, you know? I hold it in for so long, then things like that just break the dam.

I like it when movies can make me cry for the right reasons. Like "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Legends of the Fall", and "Meet Joe Black", to name a few.

"Bambi", on the other hand, was of the devil.
