You seem so often drawn towards depictions of real life disasters and horrors. Oh... and also fictional horrors of dead people walking. If I were trained in the pseudo-science of psychology I could write a fine analysis of your inner psyche, perhaps.
What a moving scene, sometimes a god cry makes me feel better and a sad scene in a movie gives me permission to cry at other things at the same time and get it all out.

ReplyDeleteI was brought up on the 1970 disaster movies
DeleteThe Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno
I rest my case
Ah, but my case would be a much deeper analysis than that...
DeleteOh, yes. The whole waterworks.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who knew people that were in Thailand when the tsunami hit. Devastating.
XOXO
Oh man this movie wreaked havoc on my tear ducts...
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to find some happy ending or comedy films to counterbalance these disaster films. For me, disaster films equal nightmares in the making.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I watched that movie. I remember it being very gripping in the tsunami sequences.
ReplyDeleteImpossible to be anything but sad, I expect. You may find this of interest.

That movie was well made, but it's sad. Fortunately, I don't mind a good cry now and then.
ReplyDeleteLove,

This is perhaps not the best post for this frivolous comment, but I do want you to see the rubber chicken who has a new friend.

John, are you sure Winnie’s rubber chicken is safe? That YouTube clip looks very like it!
ReplyDeleteGood film.
ReplyDeleteI hope you intersperse your sob-movies with something a bit lighter. There's enough sad, gritty stuff on the news for me! xx
ReplyDeleteI love a good disaster movie. I enjoyed the Impossible- so sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to watch it tonight. Thanks for the tip. Just set it up ready.
ReplyDeleteGawd.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good movie. Have you seen 127 hours? Another very well done movie of the omg sort. x
ReplyDeleteI had a student who was killed in Sri Lanka in a tsunami.
