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. ![]() 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. the rambling drunken hobbit

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. ![]()

Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien |

The purpose
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. davie the dunadan

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

![]() 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.

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. Di

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.
