I swear, I cry over everything. Like you, I have found myself becoming more and more of a baby over the years (it started with books, grew to include movies, then grew again to include songs). I cry sometimes because things make me sad, or because they inspire me, or both. I will say I cry all the way though the LotR movies, and WALL-E, both of which are favourites for me. It's weird, because they're not exactly typical cry movies, but especially with WALL-E, I can't stop myself. It's all this inspiration, all this hope, all this pity, sadness, and beauty welling up together, and springing out of me. I cry over loads more things, but as with you, it's typically because they show me hope, or sometimes make me pity or just upset at an absolute lack of it. In completely hopeless, grim movies, I rarely cry, and am rather hardened instead.
We have a show that's called "Hello Goodbye" A guy questions a lot of people at the airport, people who tell their story's, about sad and happy things. There are stories which make me weep. But those are meant to be in there.. But when I think of it there is a lot of tv like that, like those programs when they search for lost relatives.. or love shows, that come on the tv around christmas. brr I hate those, most of the time it's just to much, overdone, that they want you to cry. I do cry a lot, with almost every book movie or tvseries. I can empathize well. Sometimes it's a bit annoying. But i found out something... Last week someone told me that the mother from a friend of mine was going to die from cancer. my other friend started crying right away. (maybe because her mother had cancer to) but at that moment I didn't realize it. It's like my brains say 'no emotion' I don't really felt anything. Later that day I watched a film, were a mother died. Then I broke out crying not only because of the movie, but for my friend. I can't really relate to it very good when someone tells me, it was very odd, that i just sat there without thinking anything, almost without emotion, I was trying to figure out how to comfort someone but didn't know what to do.
You know it hurts more when i can relate to something im watching. But when something is reflecting a emotion real strong (and much credit goes to actors when its in a movie/ TV series), then i tear-up anyway....things like separation and intense love get to me more than other things. Its weird but i was thinking about this very feeling just some days go....and honestly, it makes me feel more human when i know i can feel....just feel for another person...who is a stranger in every way. Be it sad, happy, funny...whatever it may be....i can always connect....and even if i end up crying....it makes me feel good to have got the emotion that was flowing through the screen...to me. Whats funny is that when a movie can make me cry...it always gets good reviews from me...hope that doesn't make me a crazy person.
A Little Princess D: every single time. Also, Brief Encounters (such a good old movie) and I remember sobbing during Avatar when they destroyed their homes. I'm such a cissy when it comes to movies and stuff, if it's designed to be sad, I will probably cry.
