all right so i love watching tear-jerkers so much its ridiculous. and i mean non-romantic tear-jerkers. those are great too but they piss me off too much. other ones even tho they make me so sad make me feel great. i dunno why but its got something to do with sympathizing with the most pure and horrible of human conditions.

i mean movies like schindlers list, saving private ryan, and blood diamond. just watched hotel rwanda again recently, good movie, but really the redeeming parts of it are simply that the story is omgamazing and cheadle's character is cool. its def a tear-jerker still. gonna watch sometimes in april soon. that is apparently the best film about the tutsi/hutu genocide, and that outa be a great tear-jerker. also pianist. also getting a documentary about holocaust concentration camps called night and fog. that will possibly be the strongest one yet.

so anyways give me some examples of movies that you find heart-wrenching in a way that makes you feel incredibly sympathetic for the protagonists.

ive seen saving private ryan like seven times and still cry like six times during it. such an amazing movie. which reminds me, i also got tae guk gi on queue.
