Do you cry during movies? What kind of movies make you cry?
And more importantly, do you like crying during movies? I have a friend who watches only sad movies. In a way, she feels that if she goes through this misery watching a movie, she might be ready to cope with it in real life too. It is her way of protecting herself from bad things: if she cries during a movie, she won’t have to cry in real life.
It could be related to believing in destiny, too. Let’s say that someone has a particular amount of crying to do in their life. If they do it for not so important things, they pay for it in advance. There was something similar in the book I’ve been reading lately. It’s about China in the early 1900s. The daughter-in-law, married to the first son of the family (the most important heir), was upset because her mother-in-law gave her nephews better and more expensive gifts, while she gave her child only old clothes that used to belong to her husband. Her mother-in-law explained that the boy is destined to have a rich and happy life, so they shouldn’t waste his fate by giving him everything while he’s still so young. Maybe it’s a weird way of thinking, but interesting nonetheless.
However, many specialists agree that people like watching movies, and especially series, about other people’s problems because this helps them forget their own problems for a while.
What do you think about it?
crying at movies? Never.
well unless it is a really sad movie.
or a dog dies.
or
ok I cry at movies.
I stopped watching movies with animals entirely for that reason. ?
i can if it is a happy ending, but Marley and Me made me cry outloud.
I am a cry baby. Anything with dogs in it
Me too; movies with any kind of animals make me cry.
Generally, movies act as an escape from reality. It makes us forget our problems for a moment and enjoy our lives for the moment too.
I never cry when I watch movies but always close to that. I’m sensitive so my eyes tend to be misty.
I don’t cry either, it’s just that someone decides to cut onions just then! Joking aside, that’s true, but it seems so difficult to find a good movie lately.
Nowadays, I don’t watch movies. There are no longer good movies like in the olden days. I usually watch documentaries.
I remember the last time. It was from watching this movie –> Departures (2008) – Okuribito (original title).
Oh, this is a really good movie. The music score is also very good.

This is my favorite Japanese movies. A great movie indeed!
I often look for sad movies or short videos, crying has a soothing effect and helps me to fall asleep. ?
At some point I was crying even during those touching Thai commercials, haha. You can look them up if you need a quick cry. XD
I saw Thai ads, yes, it’s so easy to cry with those. ?
You really know your sad stuff then, hehe! 😀
Do I cry during movies? What’s the use of watching a tear-jerking movie if you’re not going to cry? LOL. Not only do I cry during movies, but I will watch the same movie over and over and cry every time!
Haha, I used to be like that but now I avoid movies that I know will make me cry. By the way, I know people who won’t even shed a tear.
Yes . I crying when I see movies of emotions.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
There was one movie that made me cry. It was such a tear jerker it even made my brothers cry. That movie was “Imitation of Life”.
I haven’t seen it but it sounds like an amazing movie!
to cry, for every emotional scene
I’m the same! Thanks for sharing!
It depends on the movie and my mood.
Thanks for sharing, Carol! You are right about the mood; sometimes I purposely avoid sad movies because I know I will be crying over the smallest thing.
Absolutely and sometimes I need a good cry.
Oh my goodness I cry when I see anyone else cry.
I’m the same! Thanks for sharing!
I cry silently for both a happy ending movie or sad. If it involves animals getting lost, stolen, mistreated, or the way they appear I will surely cry! Great article! 🙂
I’m the same! Sometimes I feel moved even by short commercials!
Me too, especially when they show the ones in the animal shelters that have been abused, and frankly I have to turn away or change the channel. Even if there is news or an article, I can read about it, but do they have to go into details about how these animals were abused? That makes me bawl actually. 🙁
Yes, it’s sad how people can be aggressive towards innocent creatures.
I don’t know how they sleep at night.
sometime i cry during movie silently ,when sad movement coming,but i didn’t disturb other people.
Imagine a teather full of crying people, haha.
I cried when there is sad real life circumstances, and with the movies too! I also cried if the person talking to me crying. I am a weak link!
I do agree with the findings, that sometimes, I watch series, movies, documentaries to just forget my current issues.
I’m exactly the same way. It’s hard to watch someone who is crying, especially if they are a close person.
Yes I’m easily to cry
So am I!
Silently and quiet … not in a theatre (in front of a crowd)
I see, thanks for sharing!
I cry at all the sad things.
I’m the same!
I do remember crying a little bit during the movie “Creed” that stars Michael B Jordan as the son of the late Apollo Creed when he was crying that his manager Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) was diagnosed with cancer during the movie.
I see, this sounds like a sad moment. Lately I try to avoid sad movies
I enjoy watching movies. Because I am a playwright a play producer, I know acting is a creation of the producer.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Muchas veces
Yo también:)
Hi Eli. Someone else, I do not cry to others.
Thank youfor sharing! 🙂
One movie made me cry: “The Killing Fields”
I haven’t watched it but it sounds interesting. I’ll check it out.
yes
Me too, hehe
Yes I cry during movies. Sad movies obviously make me cry, but so do inspirational movies. I find it’s a great way to let lose some pent up emotions.
I agree with you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
