Did anyone else cry?

The Cute Warg · 02-16-2003, 11:36 AM

Did anyone else cry in the first Lord of the Rings film?
I did.
Mainly when Gandalf and Boromir died, but also when I thought Sam would drown.
Please write so that I don't feel stupid.
Thanks.

I think that this thread should be in The LotR movies thread. There might already be a thread on this as well but I'm not sure.

Nope, I didn't cry but it was sad.

Sween · 02-16-2003, 11:48 AM

i did and not only does this thread belong in the movies forum it allready exists its called something like did anyone else shed a tear?

Lady of Rohan · 02-16-2003, 11:54 AM

I think the Did anyone else shed a tear thread was in LotR books thread but I could be wrong.

Hanza · 02-16-2003, 12:03 PM

I had that horrible feeling in my throat but didnt cry. I very rarely cry in films.

Lalaith_Elf · 02-16-2003, 12:49 PM

i cried at the end of the book and in the second movie at helms deep. i won't say what happened cos people might not have seen it!!!! and i don't really cry at movies. i laughed at everyone who was crying in titanic!!!!!! no offence if you were one of those people.

Varda Oiolosseo · 02-16-2003, 03:56 PM

I don't usually cry at films either.
I did feel sad and upset though.

frodosgirlfriend · 02-16-2003, 09:43 PM

I cried when gandalf died.... poor pippin, he felt like it was his fault *sniff*

and i got very upset when gandalf yelled at Pippin

Rána Eressëa · 02-16-2003, 10:14 PM

One tear fell when Frodo screamed, "NOOOOOOOO!!!" after Gandalf slipped. One tear.

Three fell for Boromir because I knew he was really dead. And I had kinda grown attached to that little bugger . . .

Lollypopgurl · 02-16-2003, 10:26 PM

I cried at the end of the first movie and right before the battle of Helm's Deep because all the young boys had to go into battle. *sniffles*

Arcala · 02-16-2003, 11:07 PM

I thought that both movies had their sad parts, but they weren't that sad.....

no one kill me

samwise of the shire · 02-16-2003, 11:08 PM

I started crying when Boromir was dying, or when Merry and Pippin got captured or when Aragorn was bidding Boromir goodbye. I just remember crying sometime in there, and I didn't stop till I left the theater. I am a VERY emotional person.
Rana was it FRODO who cried one tear when Gandalf died or you? I'm kind of lost cause Frodo cried one tear too so.
I didn't cry in TTT...I got REALLY close though when I saw all those lads in Helms Deep going to war and the mothers were crying, or when Sam says his little bit in the end about the stories.
Cheers,
Sam,
ps. I almost forgot. I was REALLY close to crying when that...that...that over grown brocolli plant showed up...crying out of pity and misery for the actor who had to play that vegetable, and misery because they slaughtered Treebeard.

Arcala · 02-16-2003, 11:11 PM

wait...I never knew they slaughtered Treebeard! I guess I didn't notice....

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-17-2003, 12:21 AM

I cry occasionally at movies; not very often, though. Well, not really CRY, but I do get misty-eyed. Occasionally cry. I did get misty at the end of FotR. I think it was 'Yet we may, Mister Frodo. We may.' That line was one of the best delivered in the movies, IMO.

Yes, I think this should be in the LOTR Movies forum.

(In case BB sees this: This doesn't mean I think the movies are the books!

Just that I think, as I have stated before, that they are good movies!)

cassiopeia · 02-17-2003, 01:20 AM

I didn't cry at all during the FOTR or TTT. Probably because I knew that Boromir was going to die and that Gandalf fell in Moria. I probably should have cried when Arwen showed her face in the movies.

I might cry in the ROTK when Frodo you-know-whats in the end, since I did cry during that part in the book, but it remains to be seen if PJ can pull that off. I hope he can.

Ah, too true, too true.

I don't think it's really a matter of 'can'. At least, not as much as 'will' or 'want to'.

Millane · 02-17-2003, 01:43 AM

nah i dont cry in movies... but if i did it would have been in any of Bormirs last scenes

Well, it WAS his fault. And also, Pippin DID kinda alert the Orcs to their presence.

Lief Erikson · 02-17-2003, 02:42 AM

I've cried during only two movies. At the end of Swing Kids I cried, and at the end of TTT as well. I didn't cry at all for any part during either of the movies, but listening to the Smaegol song really tore at me. It was beautiful, but tragic. And it wasn't just because of Smaegol, but because of every person who might have to go through a similar incident. That also was what effected me about Swing Kids, particularly after reflecting on the movie.

The Ringbearer · 02-17-2003, 05:55 AM

*sniff*

I cried when Arwen had her little lecture from Elrond in TTT. That was SO SAD.....
And I heard thatr you will most likely be crying within 40 minutes of the 3rd movie. (I hope so

) I'm one of those odd people who actually LIKE crying in the movies..... I will most likely be weeping myself to bits when
A. Frodo is attacked by Shelob
B. Sam thinks he is dead
C. Sam cannot find him
D. Sam finds him
E. All through Mordor
F. The end
G. Most of the movie, basically
