I let myself get taken in by the movie, went beyond it. I felt for the characters and tried to empathise.
That made the movie emotional, but it didn't make me cry. For that I willed myself and had myself cry. I didn't have to cry, I could have just gotten up, said "good movie" and gone to bed with dry eyes. I wanted to. Don't ask me why.. best I can come up with is I wanted to be able to say a movie made me cry. I hadn't cried in such a long time that maybe I wanted to make sure I still could.. make sure I wasn't cold hearted.
Guess I did want to be able to say a movie made me cry... picked one hell of a unique movie though, didn't I?</div>
