Extreme Emotional Reactions from Media (Especially if You're not Prone to Them)
After all the whining I've been doing in TV thread about the Dexter series finale, I've become curious what else has elicited such emotional responses from people (e.g. from TV, movies, books, music, paintings, etc). Shedding a tear or two doesn't count. If we're talking tears, then you have to have been seriously crying. But I'm also talking about profound rage, actually triggering legitimate depressive/bi-polar cycles, even positive, life-affirming experiences. And you know, etc. All are welcome, but I'm especially interested in responses by those not usually prone to getting emotional over that kind of thing.
Nothing like last night, but when I was a kid I of course had those videos that I would watch over and over again, and one of them was The Land Before Time. Mufasa's death in The Lion King didn't have **** on Littlefoot's mother dying. That killed my every time when I was a tyke. If you can get through this scene without getting choked up even now, then you're a robot.
