Extreme Emotional Reactions from Media (Especially if You're not Prone to Them)

I find it sadder that the little girl who voiced Ducky was murdered by her father in a double murder-suicide at 10 years old.

The finale of The Walking Dead Season 1 by Telltale games had me pretty teared up. It's a game but has a lot of TV show qualities.

On that slant, the opening of Last of Us got me and my former roommates pretty hard.

I just found this out last year. Wouldn't be able to watch that movie the same way.

I binged the Battlestar Galactica reboot a few years ago.

It's not a show you wanna binge if you're prone to existential crises.

Spoiler for sploier:

Yes. I knew the tears were coming too, even before they met.

I have only cried during a movie twice…

One was A Muppet Christmas Carol, when Beaker gives Michael Caine his scarf. I lose it every single time I watch the movie. Don't ask me why.

The other was in Watership Down. I love the book (actually have the author's autograph), and the movie wasn't bad either. In one of rhe most emotional parts, this gorgeous song started and all of a sudden I realize, "Oh my GOD, it's Art Garfunkel."

Mufasa's death to this day still gets me.

Edward scissor hands gets me too, especially the part he accidentally cuts winona and she's reminded "oh right, he has scissors for hands" and everybody shuns him out.

Sure, he can cut ppl's lawn and make ice sculptures for them but when asks for a little love ppl get all freaked out. >_>

More recently ive been watching the anime Honey and Clover and ive already cried a few times with it. lol

I watched The Book of Life recently (the Guillermo del Toro produced, Day of the Dead themed animated movie from last year) and couldn't believe how much it got to me emotionally. I liked the movie a lot but it's rare for a movie to literally make me cry like that one did. Especially, the part when the main character meets all his ancestors—including his mother—in the underworld. Holy fucking waterfalls.
