Did anyone cry at the end?


Cuz I did...

reply

I didn't cry but I definitely teared up. It made me really emotional.

reply

No, I didn't cry. I was just relieved that it was over. I'm not saying that it was a bad movie, I'm just saying that it was hard to watch and in my mind, I felt that the characters could now start the healing process. Hopefully.

Healing? You never heal from this, you might find a way to function with it shoved in the back of your mind, but you are never, ever healed from emotional wounds. Just ask anyone whose seen war, your bullet wound will heal, but not the shock of watching your best bud get his head blown off.

I believe you can heal from emotional trauma. Will you ever be the same? Most likely not. Will you ever be completely fixed? Of course not. But you can get better - which is part of the healing process.

And yes I have some emotional scars that I've had to deal with for a long time. They are still there but life can get better. You just have to ask for help. There is still beauty in the world.

Yes. I bawl my eyes out everytime I see it. And the *beep* Sigur Ros song doesn't help AT ALL

I usually don't cry from watching movies, but I did feel teary-eyed when I first saw this with my sister. It made us both upset since stuff like this still goes on today. I feel really bad for children who goes through such a terrible thing.

Yes I did cry. I still am crying. There used to be a teacher who was a sexual predator in my school back when I was a kid.

Almost... were you also angry for wasting your time or what?

reply

I sure did, Araki was great cathing the quite desperation of those two souls...

The first time I watched it I couldn't cry, I think I was too...for lack of a better word, shocked to react. The second time I watched it (which was like 3 days later) I sobbed like a baby. I came out of my room my eyes all red and puffy and my roommate's like "Who died?"

This was definitely my experience; I was beyond normal emotional expression after seeing it. Like you said, shocked doesn't seem to quite cover it but it's the best description I can think of
