I almost cried in TTT when Haldir dies, but I hardly ever cry. But I do have v. powerful happy emotions. like in TTT when Gandalf comes with the Rohirrim and Eomer's like, 'Rohirrim!!' and they come crashing down the hill, I raise up my arms like I'm at a frickin sports game. the people behind me in the theater were like 'what the hell.' i think my friend was embarrased, she was like, 'what are you doing?' i say,' I'm cheering for our team! what else would i be doing?' i've done that every time I've seen the movie now (only 5 times boohoo! i wanna c it again!)
i did almost cry again tho, when Smeagol goes back to Gollum w/ Faramir.

so sad. and when gollum comes out of the trees at the v. end like, 'come on hobbits.' ahhh...sad things to come. poopoo. i think i might've been on the verge of tears when i read the last lines of TTT. frodo's captured alive and poor sam! poo again! and during the grey havens.
during FotR the film, when i watched the extended version for the 1st time by myself, i didnt hold back at all: i cried when Bilbo 'goes gollum at frodo, poor old hobbit, when boromir dies, when gandalf 'dies', and i think there was another time, but im not sure.
tolkien was a depressed person. most of his friends died in WW1 (or 2 dont kno which one he fought in, sry) and that was when he wrote the books of lost tales. didnt read 'em yet but expect them to be sad too. ME is v. depressing. poo.
whoa, me wrote a lot.

I cried in many moments, and some make me cry even more now that I've reread the book a couple of times and grasp the true meaning of them. Some of the most notorious are:

*When Frodo is about to give up near Minas Morgul, but decides he has to finish what he's doing no matter what.
*When Sam thinks Frodo is dead.
*When Sam discovers they've cut down the Party Tree.
*When Merry cries on Theoden's grave.
*When Elrond tells Frodo he should be among the heroesof old time like Beren.

And I cried throughout all of the Silmarillion... Everyone I liked died horribly.

The original post didnt actually mean if you "actually balled your eyes out, crying like a baby." It was more meant to ask of whom felt the truly deep touch Tolkien ignites in his literature. More or less when you read the books did you find yourself, smiling, laughing, getting hyper, shaking, jumping, getting angry, frustrated, and thinking about it 25 hours a day 8 days a week(if you catch me drift).

Basically you do not have to weep to feel the emotions, more or less I myself only felt the 'single tear run down my cheek.' However i am glad to see that in this present day of movies, TV, and anything but literature that people can still be moved by text on a page. Alas, it gives me hope that one day after I'm done going to university for english that i may write something that could touch people too.

You are so right! Tolkien just has the ability to bring out emotion- tearful or no.

I didn't fill mad, I just felt sorda sad that I was finished, but I new that there were other ME realated books, and that I would still be able to look forward to new movie prevews and junk like that, even though it swarms more over PJ's ME in a way then Tolkien's ME. I also new that I could reread them anytime I wanted to, because for some reason, before I even read any of the books, I had this strange filling that it would be a book that I would like, probally because I had just seen Fellowship the weekend before so, I bought a copy of the seriese +The Hobbit as soon as I saw them on sell. But I was still sad, because I didn't want the book to end, I mean, the mane journy was compleated. After jumping into the seriese for the second time, I noticed that I had missed alot of stuff, and now I have read it 3 times (pritty good for only about 1 1/12 of a year, at least for me, I'm a slow reader) ther is probally alot that I still missed. So I can look forward, always, to finding stuff that is hidden in with the rest.

Elf Girl · 02-08-2003, 08:08 PM

When I finished it, I cried. I didn't cry when Sam thought Frodo was dead because I went into shock at that point.

Lady of Rohan · 02-08-2003, 11:16 PM

I sometimes cry when Boromir dies, when Theoden dies, and when Sam thinks that Frodo is dead. But I always cry at the Grey Havens chapter and in the Hobbit when Thorin dies.

That is exactly how I felt when Sam thought Frodo was dead. I was in complete shock

and I didn't cry...I don't remember crying when Boromir died though, but I cried when Frodo went to the Grey Havens...that was so sad.

But then again, I'm always emotional in books.

Diamond · 02-09-2003, 04:16 AM

It is a rare book that can make me shed a tear. Movies, yes, movies I will once in a blue moon be at the point of making a spectacle of myself (not on purpose, I assure you, remind me to tell you the story about SW2 sometime), but yes; books are a rare thing.

For me, Tolkien is sort of emotionally draining. I'll be all happy and squeefull (i.e. Faramir and Éowyn, I'm pretty sure my teacher thought I was a nutcase when I was sitting in my desk going, "Aw... that's so adorable...") and, lets face it, things can look pretty hopeless at some points. Ups and downs, high points and low points -- its madness, I tell you.

The books that make you cry, diamond- are they printed on onionskin paper?

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 02-09-2003, 10:41 AM

Onionskin paper lol...Are you saying that you've never cried while reading a book, like LoTR, Wayfarer?

Diamond · 02-09-2003, 06:49 PM

Perhaps. Its usually only if I'm really attached to a character and they die or summat. Or if they situation is particularly hopeless and if I'm in a crying mood. Just sort of depends.

Where dose that come from? My teacher has a poem like that in her room at school, but this one sounds a little bit diffrent?

When Aragon, Legolas and Gimli sang that song about Boromir, I think that is the time i cried. It was so sad.
