I saw Theory of Everything, cried my eyes out. Not necessarily a fantastic movie, but the core about Stephen and Jane was so gut-punchingly earnest that tears were flowing during several scenes.

As the tears were flowing, I thought "I want my moment in time". During the span of like 30 seconds I went through a roller-coaster of all possible emotions. Sadness, despair, loneliness, optimism, happiness, anxiety, fear.

It felt good, like baring my soul to myself.

Is this normal?

 

[strafer]

Completely normal.

 

[Floridian]

Everyone needs a good cry once in a while.

 

[daviyoung]

Is this the first time you've cried?

 

[Majine]

Yes, crying is a built-in function of the human body.

 

[Bread]

Crying is never normal, you should get that checked out.

 

[Elfforkusu]

It's not your fault.

Spoiler

Yes, it's normal. It means you have a human heart. More than can be said for some people!

 

[CountAntonius]

Thread title made me think of this.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

I cried when that movie ended, realizing I spent good money on that piece of shit. Should have gone for Taken 3.

 

[Yado]

Hand in your man card.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Is this the first time you've cried?

Not to this introspective degree. Crying is mostly a physical reaction for me, but this time, I saw so many images flash by, so many moments in time, so many emotions.

I'm an emotional guy, but this time, it felt so much more real. Guess I've had some sorrow buried.

 

[daviyoung]

Let it all out, you just experienced the opposite end of the giggles spectrum

 

[TM94]

Looks like a real Oscar bait of a film tbh.

 

[James Woods]

Got my blu of Man On Fire from Netflix today. It's my favorite film.

Ending always gets me

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Looks like a real Oscar bait of a film tbh.

Based on the script and directing: Yes.

Condensed to the scenes between Stephen and Jane: Fucking brilliant.

 

[ginger ninja]

watched Rain Man the other day..its all secret ninjas cutting onions i tell you

 

[Frecklestein]

but how can you type if you have no eyes

Happened to me once during Vanilla Sky. Full on sobbing when a bunch of things just clicked. I don't shed many tears especially during moments where I probably should but yeah it was just an insane wave of emotion.

 

[iliketurtles]

Crying makes you feel alive. I once cried watching a taylor swift video. Shake it off kills me every time.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Watch bridge to terabithia.

You probably would've ended up clinically depressed.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

My baby is crying her eyes out too. Either she saw the same movie or she's hungry.

 

[John Kowalski]

You should go to the doctor OP.

 

[dripdripsplash]

Completely normal.

My uncle and my little cousin was traveling by sea from Libya to Italia, refugees from the Syrian war.

I woke up early in my parents house and saw my father still up from last night awaiting the call to hear if they were allright or not, if they made it.

I walked around in the house imagining the horrible things that could happen and felt so hopeless by it all. Went out and just stopped, cried at the busstop, hoping no one would see me.

Sometimes it's just too much to bear man.

 

[Einhander]

It's called being human. Congratulations. You can feel emotion.

 

[The Lamp]

The relationship between the two was powerful. Jane reminded me of my mother and how much she has done for those she loves. It was too real for me.

 

[Walter White Walker]

STOP POSTING ON GAF AND GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!

 

[samn]

Crying at films is something I really enjoy doing. It's wonderful.

Sometimes I will dwell on a really sad film just to get a few tears flowing. I don't know why I do this or if it's really helpful for my mental state at all but oh well.

STOP POSTING ON GAF AND GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!

Also seek a financial adviser.

 

[Currygan]

Movie is really heartwrenching, I cried too, so I'd say it's normal

 

[WorldStar]

i dont think ive ever cried before

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Watch bridge to terabithia.

Or House of Sand and Fog.

 

[John Kowalski]

i dont think ive ever cried before

that's impossible

 

[Choomp]

but how can you type if you have no eyes

Can you... What. Stop! Why?!

I've been putting off seing this movie but I really should if it's actually really heartfelt and the performances are good.

 

[strafer]

[triplestation]

I was like 7 the last time I cried lmao

 

[WorldStar]

[Rabbi_Vole]

The ending of Big Fish destroys me.

 

[Fou-Lu]

that's impossible

Well, not counting being a young child I hadn't ever cried until a really bad break up a year ago.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

A lot of men who have a hard time crying actually nocturnally discharge from their engorged tear ducts while they sleep.

 

[The Beard]

I could tell from the trailers that this movie would make me cry my ass off. Not the type of movie I go to a theater to see.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

[Messofanego]

I watched Waltz with Bashir in the cinema and bawled my eyes out until the credits ended. What a gut punch. The most I've ever publicly cried.

 

[waypoetic]

Me and a friend are going to see it next weekend when it opens. I don't want to show anyone in the theatre i have feelings. What do i do?

 

[injurai]

The ending of Big Fish destroys me.

I'm right there with you.

I didn't cry from the Theory of Everything, but my emotions were certainly on a roller coaster. Great movie, It's my favorite picture this year.

 

[Dominator]

It happens. I saw the movie and enjoyed it a lot but didn't cry. On the other hand I cried watching Interstellar.

Sometimes things hit you more than others.

Sorry if this is super irrelevant but you seem to know some info. Sometimes when I lay on my side, whatever ear is closest to the pillow tears up. Its very strange but has been happening to me for years lol

 

[AntoneM]

Happened to me with Hotel Rwanda... Fucking Clinton administration calling it "acts of genocide" so they wouldn't have to do anything while an ethnic cleansing is going on. But when it happens to white people in the Balkan nations you bet your ass we intervene.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

 

[Dominator]

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

You're right, it was incredible.

 

[GraveRobberX]

The ending of Big Fish destroys me.

This!, me losing a father and not getting to say goodbye, those feels just come up fast

I lose 1-2 days of joy after watching that movie, I've seen it roughly 20+ times, that ending kicks in, I just cry a fuck-ton of tears (already choking up/eyes wet thinking and typing about it right now)

Other is UP first 10 minutes of the movie, massacred my eyes into redness
Only finished watching the movie once!, every other time right as the love montage ends, I'm done
