It shouldn't make me sad... but why does it?

[MetaKnight19]

For me, it's that one scene in Forrest Gump when he is standing next to Jenny's grave underneath the tree, and is talking to her about how their son trying not to break down in tears. It isn't a tearjerker moment, but it is sort of touching. It's probably this scene that makes this movie one of my all-time favourites.

Also, completey off-topic here, how do you make those little spoiler bars?

[Major_Sam]

I cried way too much for my own good at the end of season 2 of Torchwood when

Spoiler

Owen and Tosh are dying and confessing their love to one another

It feels embarrassing to cry so much over a tv show by yourself.

 

[Pm0n3y]

The part in Watchmen when Rorschach dies.

And in these books i read in English called "Night" & "Things Fall Apart".

Both of those those books made me sad, but not to the point of crying. To tell you the truth i haven't really cried from looking at a movie or a book.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

The movie big fish...

Last 20 minutes just makes me feel upset and sad, yet i have NO idea why.

I know. I cried during that too.

Kotor 2 amirite?

But seriously I was very saddened at the end of the first KOTOR game.

Spoiler

When playing a light side male Revan and you redeem Bastila through the romance subplot (this is all of course assuming you played through it this way) and they finally admit their love for one another. It's sad to me because I quickly realized that my favorite characters wouldn't have a happy ending because of the jedi council

/end of star wars nerd rantings

 

[aebonhawk]

In 2001 a Space Odyssey when HAL dies. *spoiler* as Dave pulls out his circuitry he pleads with him not to. Then he becomes scared and says how he can fell it slipping away. then he talks about his programming like it was his childhood and finally dies while singing a nursery song.


Pretty sad considering he is a homicidal computer. The ironic thing is in the whole movie he is the only character that displays emotion like fear, jealousy, pride and duty. While all the humans talk calmly and without duress even in the most stressful situations like being locked outside a ship in deep space. HAL is arguably the most human character. I love HAL

 

[GrandAm]

Hmmmmm. Sadness is totally pansy ass. If you can't gut your own cat with your bare hands, how will you deal with real life?

Buy a dog instead?!?...

 

[ProfessorLayton]

for me, in GoW 2, when

Spoiler

Dom finds and shoots his wife, Maria.

Uhh that's SUPPOSED to be a sad part. I felt more sad when

Spoiler: GoW2 Spoiler

Carmine and Tai die, though. They were much more important characters because you saw them and gained sort of a bond with them. Carmine, especially because he was such a relatable character.

yeah, i weeped a bit at that. But what about Torchwood and The Children of the Earth Episode 5 where

Spoiler

When Frobisher kills him and his family so his kids won't be given to the 456, Ianto dies, and also when Jack sacrifices his daughters child to kill the 456. That made me feel sad.

The movie big fish...

Last 20 minutes just makes me feel upset and sad, yet i have NO idea why.

It's a very emotional moment. It always reminded me of my grandpa.

OT: I actually have two.
I cried at the end of the Redwall book Martin the Warrior.
I cried at the end of the movie Small Soldiers.
I was young.

i quite liked Tai so yeah,

Spoiler: GoW spoiler for people who haven't read above spoiler

so i did feel a bit sad when they killed him that way. Carmie though, i liked him, but in my opinion he's been thrown in to die in creative ways. i mean he has five bros and the first one died in GoW, he died and they are making 5 GoWs. Strange, no?

I know, and I'm going to cry every time... by the way where did you get the info that they were making 5?

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

What event in a book, story, game or even your life shouldn't make you feel sad, but it does?

For me it's the subplot of the Newsvendor in Watchmen, who spends all his time talking to himself, and wanting to make friends, because he's alone, due to him losing his wife and the only person who is by his newsstand every day, ignores him until the end where they find one similarity between eachother before they die together. (I dont know how to hide spoilers so I'll leave how they die unknown, incase you haven't read the comic.) for some reason that made me feel sad...

Also Search bar approved!

You know that's the whole point of the newsvendor part of Watchmen, right? That's exacttly how you're meant to feel. It shows how helpless the common man would be in such circumstances. Indeed, people were helpless and that's why things in real life happened like that story they cut from the film about that guy wanted to spare his children from war so he killed them and himself in front of his wife. Not a spoiler, hardly an important plot point.

Spoiler

A GIANT MONSTER COMES AND SITS ON THEM. Seriously.

 

[LockHeart]

I felt quite sad at the start of Watchmen, the bit in the intro where the protestor girl puts a daisy down the rifle of the MP's barrel...

Spoiler

Seconds before they fire a volley into the crowd

But aside from that, it would probably be the end of the last episode of Band of Brothers, where Major Winters is narrating about what happened to the men of Easy Company after the war, then it cuts to the veterans still alive giving interviews. That really choked me up.

 

[katsa5]

-_- waaah, now I'm sad reading that. It was like that pastry-guy in that episode of News Radio; same thing. To me, it's a painful reminder of what its like to be alone; how cold and hard it is.

I read it in OXM, i think. Cliffy B came out and said something about it. it was just after GoW2 came out, i think.

in "V for Vendetta when

Spoiler

evey looses her fear of death and screams from a roof top

not so much sad but i did cry which is weird. maybe i crave for the same thing.

 

[theSovietConnection]

I was watching a TV show about shipwrecks, and this particular episode was about the Leopoldville. A woman went to visit her grandfather's grave in Normandy, the first person in her family to have ever visited his grave because they didn't know where he was buried, and for some reason it made me bawl my eyes out.
