I did not cry at the end , however the incinerator scene my heart was pounding and a tear almost came out my eye cause I thought they were really going to burn up :"( it made it even more heart breaking when they all grabbed each other's hands and prepared to die ,such a tough scene to watch
watching this again, I think I know why it strikes such a chord with people.
It's something that we can all relate to. Ultimately, we will all face the inevitable end of our lives, and just like the toys, we are helpless to prevent it.
When it comes to it, the most we can do is hold the hands of our friends and family to comfort one another and accept our fate.
I'll never forget when I saw the midnight premiere, I was literally sweating during that scene because it was so intense (also the theater was packed and it WAS the middle of summer so it was already pretty hot in there).
Then I just wept tears of joy after the aliens rescued them.
Gosh, that movie is such an emotional roller coaster.
That scene always gets me. I remember watching it the first time, I was getting all hot. As weird as it sounds. My ears were burning and I could feel my palms sweating.
