Call me wimpy, call em getting old, call me getting soft after having a baby and another one on the way...

But I almost cried when mom, boy and girl are flying to the island to find dad... and the missles are chasing them and mom is begging to please stop... I was almost brought to tears there...

This is one of the best comic/super hero movie I have seen... it is a beautiful movie. Unreal... the look is just beautiful in a retro/new feel...

 

[Ghost]

I was shocked, its definitely a dark moment with the kids screaming while they plummet and the mum passed out.

 

[Prospero]

It's the expressions on their faces when they're falling out of the sky that seal the deal there. I've been thinking about that part of the movie ever since I saw it on opening weekend.

 

[Ramirez]

Cry over a movie?No.

 

[Phoenix]

I didn't cry, but it was definitely one of the movies stronger moments from an emotional perspective.

 

[BojTrek]

It was just wild... the mom is like "please, call of the missles, call of the attack"

"There are children on board"

and the daughter was struggling to make her powers work... great movie...

 

[Agent Dormer]

I felt pretty torn apart there, almost like in Spider-man 2 where Peter told Aunt May he was the reason Uncle Ben died. Man, I balled then.

 

[BobbyRobby]

I was definitely crying at that point. I was actually crying during most of the movie. Its a problem I have.

 

[GG-Duo]

for me, it was the part where Mr. Incredible was looking at his "Wall of Fame"

 

[IntestineBoy]

I thought the Mom and Daughter were really hot...

I felt more sorrow. I think there is a great parallel between doctors v. lawyers and superheroes v. lawyers present in The Incredibles, at least in the early section. Doctors, just like superheroes, try to save people and they end up being unable to practice because there were complications in the procedure and someone decides to sue because the doctor wasn't able to completely fix them. Yeah, there are cases where they chop off the wrong foot and people need to pay for that, but really there is already enough pressure on doctors today without having to worry about lawyers. I dunno, that's what I thought when I was watching the beginning of the movie.

And of course, everyone is so quick to blame the lawyer, when it was the wronged party who HIRED the lawyer to DO HIS JOB and sue the negligent doctor. If the doctors want to have less pressure about being sued, maybe they should just do their job correctly the first time.

Well, blanket blaming lawyers or doctors is a bad idea. There are plenty of doctors who do their job correctly, and plenty of lawyers would wouldn't take some of these absurd lawsuits. However, you're correct in blaming the person who hires the lawyer, especially for petty cases when their "pain and suffering" is all faked. Yeah, those doctors who fuck up should pay the consequences, but the medical practices are so fucked up currently its not like its going to get any better if we continue thie cycle.

And while I do agree that doctors should be held accountable for their actions, I also tend to think that there are too many frivilous cases being brought to the courts as well. Ofcourse, the blame should lie on the judges who allow such frivilous cases to go to trial. So don't blame the doctors, the lawyers, the people that are suing just hoping they can get a big reward, instead, blame the judges!

And back to the topic, the movie rocked and no I didn't cry at the scene mentioned. Ofcourse, I don't think I've ever cried watching a movie.

Most 'frivilous' lawsuits come from piss poor customer service and customers feeling that their only outlet for justice is the legal system. I recently had to deal with a Sears Auto Center who did a 4 wheel alignment on my SUV and then when I brought it back to them because it wasn't aligned they said it was because I had uneven tire wear. I told the auto center manager that they took measurements on the tires before they did the work so if they did it anyways it was their fault and I wanted a refund. He refused. A week later I began drafting a motion for filing in small claims court. Before dropping off the motion I contacted the Sears store and explained the situation to the store manager (as opposed to the auto center manager) and after I explained to him how clear it was that they were going to lose and that I would be seeking punitive damages, they withdrew and refunded me my money. For some that would be a frivilous claim, for me - I just won't be punked by any person or store in this country and I will sue ANYONE in order to get justice, because that's the way it should be. I could have been an ass and sought more than just a refund from Sears because I was inconvenienced, my tires got worse while dealing with them, and they caused me undo stress - but I chose not to.... but would understand anyone who would have

Don't forget the juries as well.

 

[GG-Duo]

I wasn't even thinking about the lawsuit part.

It just strikes me as a 40-year-old guy who wants to recover his glory days.
There's a PURE sense of longing and regret in that sequence... it's just really beautiful.

 

[cvkpaladin]

Phoenix, actually your case seems just. When I mentioned 'frivilous' cases, I was mainly referring to the absurd ones that I sometimes read in the paper. Two that I can think off the top of my head are:

1) Some fat guy suing McDs saying that their hamburgers were too addictive

2) Some dude suing the state he lived in because he dove off a pier into a body of water that wasn't deep and became paralyzed (I believe there was even a sign telling people not to jump)...

I don't know about number 2, but I'm pretty sure the McDonald's case was dismissed pretty quickly. Until you reform the people who want to bring these suits, you're not going to get rid of them, but must instead rely on the courts to stop them before they get too far. The fact that such cases make the news might speak a lot to how relatively rare they are. There are rules in place that the courts or the bar might use later to discipline the lawyer who brought a blatantly frivilous suit, but often the media ignores the later uninteresting parts, instead preferring to paint the judicial system in a bad light as though nothing happened to the nimrod lawyer.

 

[cvkpaladin]

Well, I never did read up on what the outcome was on either of the two cases mentioned. So, hopefully you're right when you tell me that the McDs case was dropped almost immediately. Gives me a glimmer of hope for the future of humanity.

Cry over a movie?No.

Watch Big Fish.

 

[NohWun]

I thought the saddest part of the movie was when Mr. Incredible tapped into Syndrome's database and was looking at all the superheros that had been eliminated.

 

[Phoenix]

Watch Big Fish.

Nah, watch House of the Dead. You'll cry... just for different reasons.

 

[Flynn]

I actually tear up when a movie is really, really good.

Not sad, but artful.

For example when I see Miyazaki movies or even Kill Bill, the sheer artfulness and personal resonance of scenes move me because of their beauty an effective work of art.

It's kind wierd.

The scenes in the Incredibles when

Spoiler

the kids discovered the true extents of their powers

moved me in the same way.

Just saw the movie again. It really plays on your emotions and it's just a great film - if you haven't seen it, please go see it. Don't go see shit like The Grudge or Saw.

 

[BojTrek]

No more lawyer talk... no more taking someone to court talk...

You can only post in this topic if you loved the Incredibles and have a problem crying... got it!

 

[SteveMeister]

There weren't any "cry" moments for me in this movie. Last Pixar movie that "got" me (and still gets me to this day when I watch it) is the VERY end of Monsters, Inc, when Sully goes through Boo's door...

 

[Gorgie]

Watch Big Fish.

True words, the ending is just so...

Watch it.
