Movies That Will Make Ya' Cry


Hello again, so I just want to tell you more about myself and what I plan to do with this blog. First of all I love movies and TV shows, as do most people. I also like to think that I know a little bit about fashion, so why not talk about it? This was my thought process when I decided on what to do with my blog. Going back to movies and TV shows I like to watch just about anything and I am always looking for new things to watch. I love everything from comedies and horror to dramas. I like a little bit of everything.

In Language Arts class yesterday we read and discussed an essay called “The Crying Game”. It was about how much crying happens in sports. Also this weekend the Notebook was on TV. So of course in this blog I am going to talk about movies that will make you cry.  First of all there are always the obvious tear jerkers like “Titanic”, “The Notebook”, and “Marley and Me”. Speaking of “Marley and Me”, I refuse to watch just because I have a yellow lab and I am such a cry baby when it comes to movies. So I can’t give you a very good description of what it is about. Another type of sad movies are ones that are the last in the series such as the last “Harry Potter” and the last “Men in Black”. The story is sad and then it is the last one of that series so it adds to the sadness.

So here are some descriptions of some of the saddest movies that I have seen. I think I will start off with the “Notebook” and I will try to do this without giving away too much information in case you haven’t seen it yet. It starts off with an old man telling a story to an old woman who is in a nursing home whose memory fades more and more every day. He tells the story of Allie Hamilton (Rachel Mcadams) and Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gossling). They meet one night at a carnival and start to become friends. They spend all summer together and their friendship turns to romance.  The whole movie is going back and forth between the old man telling the story, about Allie and Noah. Like I already said, I don’t want to give too much away but if you haven’t seen this movie make sure to go watch it as soon as you can.

I’m sure that everyone knows what the “Titanic” is about and if you don’t it’s time to learn some history. Having said that, a lot of people think “why should I watch the movie when I know what happens?” I think that it is a great movie because you get to see how everything happened and you really get to experience what it must have been like. Even though I have seen the movie multiple times I still end up balling by the end. I think that it is so sad because it really happened. I know that movies are never as factual as they should be with things like this but it is enough to make you understand.

To conclude this blog I would just like to say that if haven’t seen these movies you should defiantly check them out. I know that there are a lot of sad movies out there and I have only scratched the surface. Everyone needs to watch a sad movie every once in a while. So if there are some good sad movies that you have recently watched let me know and I will watch them and then blog about them. Thanks for readingJ
