Fox and the Hound

No, you're not, and you're not alone, either. I confess to having an almost uncontrollable urge to stop and move the animal to the side of the road so it won't be hurt anymore, even though I know it's already dead. I also mentally apologize to them and tell them they deserved a better life and a better death. Let's face it, some of us are just animal softies.

Oh my gosh; I'm like that too. Sometimes I feel like I should stop (if the animal is still in one piece) to make sure it isn't just knocked out so that someone else doesn't finish it off.

Oh, ME too!

And I just thought of another movie I cannot watch all the way through: The King and I. It's the scene when the King (Yul Brynner) cannot whip TupTim. When he believes he has lost his manhood, so to speak. When TupTim is dragged in, I either leave the room or turn off the movie. That tears me up. Dunno why it affects me so, but it does. Obviously I don't WANT her to be whipped; it's just his inability to do so that causes the weepies.

Movies never make me cry. They're fake, people!

So even pivotal and deeply human, heartfelt fictional stories do not stir basic human emotions in you? Man, they do me! I don't have to think a story is "real" to be moved by it.

Me too! I even cry when I read books....particularly the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

Of course the movies are fake.....um...if they weren't it would be reality TV. They are written and produced to evoke certain emotions...that is their purpose and draw. Sensitive people pick up on the emotions in the movie and give the prescribed response....insensitive ones just watch it~and for the life of me I can't imagine why they bother.

Do you laugh at funny ones? Why would you laugh if you know the line or gag is fake?

I don't cry much. There have been a couple of movies that did get me to tear up during a few scenes, but they don't stick out in my mind. They have to be really realistic, I don't cry about stuff that seems fake.
I cry some when I watch the tv show Untold Stories of the ER, especially when cops get hurt.

"Precious" made me cry last night. It was a very disturbing movie. As is "A jerk out of Carolina". Hey, wait....I didn't type "jerk"..What's going on???? I am trying to type the word Basta....Is this site censoring me?
