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.

 

Susan R?
 

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.

      Aww, shucks! Thank you, @Ashley0616 and @Timi! I find taking a picture of myself so difficult.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally

      Hi, I’m back   @MaeBe @Ashley0616 @April Marie and @Mmindy and everyone else, my wife says thank you for the birthday wishes.    It was a busy day at work today.  Once things settled down a little, I went outside and washed the windows.  My Manager was very happy with how much better they looked.  And no ladders were involved. Just my personal window washing gear.  Now that they are clean (for only the second time in a year and both by me) I would like to wash them with some Rainex instead of just window cleaner.  We sell gallon jugs of Rainex windshield washer fluid and I think using that next time might help keep rain spots off the windows.     we are going out to J Peter’s for dinner tonight. We both like it so it’s a winner.  It’s a local restaurant with several locations.    time to feed and walk the dog.   Tomorrow is a 4am day.  I like the work of the 4am shift I just wish it was later.  The again it’s nice to get home by 12 noon
