I still cry. Woman Sad


 

This is mine, also.   The soliloquy that Maria does at the end destroys me every time.   I've seen it so many times, first time at a theater for me also, and it has no less impact.

Yup!

 

How do you feel about the remake?  I don't think I'll be able to watch it.

You know, I don't think I will either.   The original was - it was it for me.   It was beautiful and tragic in every way.  It was performed so well.  I've always been a huge fan of Rita Moreno and I was a super fan of Natalie Wood.  All the men in the movie were spectacular, as well.  They did it and they did it brilliantly.    

 

I would sincerely rather they did NOT copy this work of art.

Hi Everyone!

 

Longtime reader here, and I had to jump in on this one.

 

Most everything with animals reduces me to tears, whether it's a happy or sad film.

 

i was a tiny tot when my grandmother took me to see Bambi, and cried my eyes out.

 

Saw My Dog Skip alone, and the audience was filled wth adults.  We were all crying and we ladies met up in the restroom after the movie, smiling as we saw each other with our red, swollen eyes.

 

But the movie that had me literally hystercial was Hachi: A Dog's Tale.  It's a little known movie starring Richard Gere.  A must-see for dog lovers.

 

Also A Dog's Purpose.  

 

The theme music from Forrest Gump.

 

So many more.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


@Tessa Mendoza 

 

I understand completely.  I've been known to sob brokenly during dog food commercials.

 

I still can't watch Purina's Inside Every Good Dog is a Great Dog ad without falling apart.  Just kills me.
