saddest thing you've watched?

[un-named543]

I watched this documentary/propaganda film called "Earthlings" that showed all the ways that humans misuse animals. It showed a fox that had been skinned alive because it survived the "killing" part, Dolphins being hacked open on docks in Asia in front of school children walking by, the baby seals of course, gas chambers at low budget animal shelters, all the way to leather that comes from India where cows are supposed to be sacred. Not sure why I sat through it, it was just terrible. So bad I couldn't look away I guess.

"Black Beauty" still chokes me up. Not a lot of movies can get to me, until they put an animal in it. I saw the one with the whales on Nat Geo too, so sad! Another one was killer whales trying to wash a seal off of a sheet of ice, creating waves. It went on forever it seemed like, the finally got the seal. Then tortured it further to teach the young killer whales to hunt. Just when you thought the seal would get away, it didn't.

Now one of the funniest clips I've seen was when the guy was riding his bike cross country in Africa and this giant Antelope comes out of no where, on the big expanse of savannah, tries to jump over the guy and crashes into him. Sends the biker flying. Crazy! Caught on film from a helmet cam on the biker behind him. Big grassy area, cruising a long, then BAM! Close encounter with an Antelope.

The killer whale thing just breaks my heart. If I was filming that stuff I couldn't let nature take its course. I'd have to shoot the killers if I had a gun. I wonder how the filmers of these things can do that job and not be upset watching it unfold?
I mean they are providing a service getting reality and the laws of nature out there to the masses but I know I couldn't do it!!!

"Taking Chance" I started crying at the opening credits and was still crying after the movie finished. Not all tears of sadness, it's just a very touching movie.
