Do some movies make you cry?

Hello everyone. My question is "Do some movies make you cry". I was watching "Pretty Woman" the other day and I cried during the final scene when Richard Geer climbed the stairs and he and Julia Roberts embraced. Tears of joy ....it was so beautiful. Do any of you have these movie moments like I do?

Oh god yes. It happened before I started my transition. It is much, much worse now. I just go with it.

 

Movies. TV. Anime (I watch a lot of shonen). Books. I hit an intense scene and the waterworks just switch on. It's glorious.

 

Hugs!

Yes.

Although the thread title showed "do some movies make you cr..." and I assumed "cringe" because there's that too.

I've always been that way: I sob my way through tear jerker movies, cringe my way through movies that have rapes in them, etc.

I'm emotional and I just let it all hang out. Doubt that will ever change.

I've found that crying comes easier now.  It was a stronger response shortly after starting HRT but even years later i can cry when not expected.  Some films just hit me but i don't know when or where that might happen.

Yup. I'm not even on HRT. I guess the lack of need to be stoic opens the flood gates sometimes.

 

Lots of love,

I'm a poor sap who cries watching great love stories.  Even before hormones, I would sometimes tear up and have to swallow deeply at the end of select movies.  Now it's a bit more of a scene.

 

These two movies cause me waterworks EVERY time!

A Walk To Remember (2002)

Far and Away (1992)

I boohoo just about every time I’m watching a decent story on movies or tv. Like others have said I did it before and now it’s even more so.

It used to be so embarrasing in times past, but I worry less now. I am prone to bursting into tears at all manner of odd moments. When they held the olymics here in London I had almost had to avoid the TV for days as tears would just flood out when the anthem played. Films are similar. There are some I avoid watching as they affect me so much. One of the biggest traumas from my childhood was watching The Snow Queen one Christmas. It's funny how something not real has perhaps more effect than episodes which were far more dangerous from then.

OH, yeah. I cry at a lot of movies. When the sad or romantic parts come, here comes the water works.  I cannot watch a Lassie movie without balling my brain out. So I don't watch them.

It's the hormones and why my real TG handle is "Mona," it is a part of my sense of humor with regards to the effects of hormones. Prior to transition nothing made me cry, now when having a discussion about something devastating like the death of my dog with a few genetic ladies, they see my eyes tear up and I can read their thoughts ("Oh isn't that darling!") as they give me warm and appreciated hugs.

Bambi, when her mother died (I was eight)

What dreams may come as I saw it not long after my dad had died without knowing what I was going to see. 

The green mile also made me teary, but as a general rule I am so in control of my emotions usually just a watery eye is as close as I can get.

Though this year I have since added Avengers Endgame and a true story sports film I watched yesterday called "Greater" onto my list.

 

No reason other than I am just allowing myself a bit more freedom of expression recently.

I always tear up at the end of the movie, “Far and Away”.  The ending pulls on my heartstrings in a happy way.  But recently my wife and I watched “Boy Meets Girl” and for whatever the reason...it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I had a good cry even though it was probably not the most realistic plot line for a movie.

LOL, I noticed I had already mentioned “Far and Away” in a previous post on this same thread back in Oct.  oh well!  It’s hard to keep track of all the posts I make.

I always used to tear up watching emotional movies.  Now I do so even more.  The nice thing is that I no longer have to feel self-conscious about it. :)

I freakin cry over commercials!   Movies and TV series with sad or tear jerking scenes plow me right under.  My wife laughs at me so much over this.  
I admit I like the freedom to do so now.  I don’t have to hold it in or hide it anymore.

I cry at the ending scene in LOTR-Return of the King.  When he sees Arwin.  And it continues when he kneels before the four hobits and tells them “you kneel for no one”.  
I lost it before now I’m a wreck.  Lol

I tear up at just about anything even remotely sad. Even some sad music can get the water works going. I’m okay with it though. Feels good to be stretching my emotional range.

HA!  I knew there was at least one LOTR geek here with me!

Love those movies.  The Hobit movie series too.

Just powered threw the extended versions two weekends ago.

 

That a rough 10 or hours for the Hobit and 14 hours for LOTR.  Straight!

Yes I like them a bit.  LOL

I cannot remember a specific movie that made me cry, but I'm pretty sure there have been a few that made me teary. The end of long-running fictions tend to bring me more easily to tears. It's always hard to say goodbye to those when they followed you for months if not years.

This was one of the biggest struggles during my decades of living in denial, the fact that anything remotely emotional made me want to blubber, and I was constantly frustrated at how "un-manly" it made me feel. Even my wife, who is a very sensitive person, tends to be less emotional over movie and TV scenes than me. I could let it out a bit in front of her, but in other settings I got really good at scanning the room to make sure no one was looking when I wiped tears away.

 

I was crying this morning just thinking about a particularly nice person, so I would expect now that I'm self-aware, the waterworks are going to be truly open for business!

I kept meaning to comment on this thread but it kept slipping past me until it's already on page 2!

I am a major crybaby at movies and have been for as long as I can remember. As in sobbing loudly. Blubbering. What have you.

Tearjerkers really get my waterworks going.

I make no apologies for it. It just happens.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
