Did anyone cry at the end?

My friend kind of spoiled the end part by telling me little parts of the film he remembered. Still a great film though, not one you forget easily.

yes... the ending was one of the best drama film end scene i've ever seen and the lines

"And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus, I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate... how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness... and *beep* up suffering in the world... and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just... leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear."

so brilliant and true, and sad for every single victim of sexual abuse because thats how you feel...

I can never cry unfortunately, but I did get choked up 3 of the 4 times I watched it. It hit me most when I was with my brother because we dealt with some heavy stuff as kids that I wish had never happened. The monologue hit me hard and made me think about it.

I also got choked up whenever Neil would feel like the coach was the only one who ever loved him.

Not when I first saw it years ago (I may have too young to properly get it) but I've just finished watching for the second time and yes, there were a few tears. Amazing piece of work.

sobbed at the end as well as the chat with wendy where he talks about the coach loving him more than anyone

Yep. I never heard of it, watch it based on a list of good movies that I came upon, just watched it today for the first time.

I did too.

I didn't even realize how seriously affected I was by this film until the credits were rolling. All of a sudden I was sobbing in that really disgusting gross cry way. What a powerful movie with great performances (especially from JGL.)
