I was just wondering, why people often cry in movies or at TV shows?Because I am guilty of this very thing, and it happens more frequently than I care to admit.
The other night I was watching a movie you might have heard of called "Marley and Me". A film in which, two of my favourite actors are the lead roles. It's about a dog though. A large part of it at least. Albeit an incredibly gorgeous dog, a dog... period. You'd think there would be some sort of further storyline to accompany such a bizarre concept, but no... it's kinda, purely about the dog. My boy and I were discussing throughout, how it could be likened to one of those terrible, G-rated, family movies that more often than not, go straight to DVD. I'm sounding harsh here, and I'm not meant to, because what I'm coming to is this; I am a big, wussy, wah-wah, cry baby. Even when watching a movie such as Marley and Me. Only, rather than watching a G-rated flick and crying for days about it, as I would have when I was 10, I am now 23 years old and it seems, not so much has changed.
Yes, I'm rather ashamed of myself, but at the same time, it's made me wonder WHY?
I cried at the end of Valkerie too you know, in fact, I completely lost it and exploded into breathless sobs... and I don't even like Tom Cruise! I also cried during most episodes of this years Biggest Loser and when I say most, I mean, my cheeks were wet more than they were ever dry! And the lastest was One Tree Hill, yep, that got me too! Every time. The episode when Peyton walks in to find her birth mother dead, now that was a killer! But again... WHY? What is my problem?
Why do we feel emotions so strongly even when what we're viewing has been created in a make believe world? Or is this a problem that lays solely with me?
When you find the answer, please let me know... I have a feeling my mind could benefit enormously from such knowledge. Perhaps then, the boy wont have to hold me in his arms as I cry uncontrollably while he does his best to hold back the bouts of laughter waiting to escape.
Yes, the ability to manage my over-emotional personality mixed with my over-active tear producing eyes, would be a skill I'd love to master.
