All right, I belive you.

Hmm, the test on your webpage? You mean she isn't one of those people who "keep insisting they're right when they're obviously not"?

is that a veiled hint? If so, *whack*

I cried at the ending of 'Dancer in the Dark'. I think that anyone who doesn't, isn't human.

that bit

Henke · 10-04-2003, 12:27 AM

Oh, you mean that bit.

Well I agree, as far as if you see a movie which you think is good and very sad then of course you cry. Everybody (of us humans that is) cries at that point.

I guess I now really must get myself to see "Dancer in the dark".

myhrik · 10-04-2003, 01:07 AM

Here we go:

Blade Runner (the only movie that has ever made me cry)
Star Wars Episodes I, II, (III), IV, V and VI
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Those are the topsest for me.
But that doesn't mean I don't like Lord of the Rings too.

I had a hallucination where I saw a post by me where I said "Blues Brothers is teh best musicel EVAR," so I thought it was faitly obvious that people'd understand that it had just lost that title.

But MAN, Dancer in the Dark... I was weeping practically from the beginning, I don't think I've cried that much, and so openly EVER before.... My mother kindly provided me a hankie halfway through.

Ah, ok. Makes sense now. I guess I didn't make the connection because neither of those movies are really musicals, but they both contain musical-esque choreographed songs.

Nah, cmon now, the beginning wasn't really sad at all ... it was sort of upbeat and hopeful and quirky and beautiful. Once

Spoiler:
that guy steals the money, around the middle of the movie, I think

that's when things start going awry. And the ending ..

Spoiler:
that ending is what transformed the whole movie from very good to a masterpiece. It traumatized me .......... I still can't even listen to that track on the soundtrack, cos it stops at the same place ................

Damnit, that scene and MOST OF ALL

Spoiler:
the part when she's crying and trying to get her money back and he's going "It's MY money! Mine! You're stealing it from me!" and calling his wife

kick my ass.

Tamara · 10-06-2003, 09:54 AM

don't you dare 'most of all' that scene! (though yeah, it was powerful .. )

the MOST OF ALL is quite evidently

Spoiler:
the last scene, where she's hanged and is so hopeful and almost delusional till the last and the noose chokes off her last breath and up till then you kept hoping against hope she was going to be saved ... But it's the song being broken off midway that did it for me .. no movie moment will ever top that. I almost fainted in the cinema.

However those scenes you mentioned did get too much for me after I'd watched the full movie .. I managed to rewatch up till the midway point, but then knowing what was going to happen was just too much and I had to switch it off .. I'm too sensitive for my own good sometimes

myhrik · 10-06-2003, 10:04 AM

Dancer in the Dark is one of my all-time favourite movies in a very strange way, because being a huuuge Björk fan I bought it on DVD, but after watching it once (over a year ago now) I just haven't managed to watch it again.

That's when I decided that if people warn me that a movie I am going to see is "very sad", I just ask if it's "as sad, or even MORE sad than DITD". If the answer is "yes" I know I can never watch it. That's why I've simply avoided watching movies like Requiem For a Dream, which I've heard is quite extreme. Oh, do call me a chicken, I don't care.

Tamara · 10-06-2003, 10:10 AM

Sadder than DITD?!? Is that even possible???

I gotta try this Requiem for a Dream to find out, I guess ... but seriously .. that end bit .. nothing, ever can surpass it ..

Kingzjester · 10-06-2003, 10:26 AM

Requiem for a Dream is one trippy movie...

...as is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That one is not so sad though.

RfoD also features one of the 432 Wayans brothers in a tolerable role.

Well, hwat got my tearducts going was her conversation with the policeman when they reveal their secrets...... the acting was so good that I was moved to tears BECASUE of it's hopefulness and beatuifulness....

Spoiler:
I first thought she was saving the money to operate HERSELF... so when she tells him about her son....

Of course, it was all downhill from there.....

And Requiem for a Dream isn't as sad, but it's terribly depressing nonetheless.....
