Onions. Onions Everywhere.
 

So I believe that in order to be a balanced human being emotionally, you have to be sad every one now in then. I'm not talking about being depressed, but basically the opposite feeling of when you watch that youtube video of a puppy that your coworker sent you. I like to challenge myself by watching a lot of these types of videos/movies/comics and such. Maybe this thread won't work, but maybe it will.

Post things that make onions appear in the room every time.







Have a great day. :wave:

When I'm home alone, I will willingly and openly bawl at just about anything on TV. Satisfying.

I've wanted to watch that first video for a while now but I just can't bring myself to click play. Even alone.

The ending of The Shawshank Redemption never fails to make me tear up.

I cried when Will Smith killed his dog 'Samantha' in I am Legend. I literally fucking bawled like I'd just been widowed or something.

Yeah that scene definitely got to me... kind of a shame the theatrical ending of that movie completely ruined the entire experience.

Yeah I personally thought the film was good but the ending was.. poor? In comparison.

NO, you vile woman :eek: Do not post spoilers. That almost brought me to tears when I realised what I was watching.


I don't really think you're vile. <3

He should have thrown the grenade through the gap and sprinted like a baws.

I very rarely get genuinely upset. Like, the last time I cried was when my Nan died and my parents have split up since then.

I like to think I'm hard as nails but I don't think I am anymore. Silly things have began to upset me, like a proper female.

hahaha sorry! It's so horribly sad idek, I kept seeing screengrabs on tumblr for weeks afterward and got teary eyed every time

Haha really? I'm assuming it's in the TV series. I'm going to start the series after I've finished the books. I've been finding some parts of the book (1st) so far quite sad, but nothing that's managed to spill a tear yet. :(

I have a melancholy disposition anyway; I'm attracted to themes with a sad kind of mood, so I tend to deal with sadness well by understanding its meaning, and processing it over time. I don't cry like I used to, though- it takes a lot more these days to get me to that point. But I agree that a good balance between emotions is important.

The Green Mile does it for me every time, to the point where I can only watch it once in a blue moon. This scene was probably the most poignant for me, but it has its full effect when you see the whole movie.

Oh you're fine then, the tv version of the House of the Undying is a lot different from the book version. You won't really get a lot of feels until A Storm of Swords. Then it'll be onions everywhere

Hahaha 'then it'll be onions everywhere' I'll probably go into a state of depression until its over and happier times come.

I can't imagine anything to be more devastating than Dancer in the Dark, the final scene especially is revoltingly depressing. Here 'tis, wrapped in spoiler tags like a sad present:



Out of context it's still horrifically sorrowful, but in the context of the movie it's ten times worse. I'll admit that this is the only movie that's ever made me cry.

LOL it used to take a lot to make me cry but after becoming a dad I even choked up over Finding Nemo.

:laughing:

also

this was excruciating to watch when i was young

^^^
Same here. They don't make sad scenes in kids movies like they used to.

Are you serious?



I will be honest. I teared up when I first saw this. Possibly nostalgic, since Toy Story was one of my favorite movies when it first came out, and much like Andy, I grew up and was moving on. Sniff sniff.

And then there's this. My God.


Holy **** this scene is sad. It has to be viewed in context to get the full effect, but I was crying openly in the theater. That may be because I can completely relate in more ways than one, and also because I'm a big softie and cry at just about anything.

And then there's... THIS.


This is totally unrelated to the children's movies above, because it is NOT for kids. At all. In any way. This is a Japanese animated film about WW2, and is the true story of the writer and director Isao Takahata. It is literally the saddest movie I have ever seen. Also one of the best. It's like a grief train that never stops.

That scene up there also needs to be seen in context, but basically, it's where his little sister dies from malnutrition out in the woods because he's too stubborn to let anyone help them. I cannot describe the way this scene feels in the movie. Just watch it. The full movie is on Youtube.

PS- I've watched the first video in the OP. It is quite depressing.

I totally forgot to consider manga. Just the style of the animation is enough to make me feel 10 times more strongly than other forms of animation. Plus, they generally aren't afraid to go into those deep dark places with their story lines, which is why most of them aren't considered to be "for kids."
Barefoot Gen scarred me for life.

But what I mean is, in kids' movies now, there tends to be a less dark/ serious overall theme, and fuzzy 3D animation. But I admit I'm probably biased because I grew up in the 90's when I watched late 80s stuff like:


The Land Before Time (2/10) Movie CLIP - Littlefoot's Mother Dies (1988) HD - YouTube

and


The Brave Little Toaster - Worthless (No Interruptions) - YouTube

Those both really hurt me to watch, but they have grown to become some of my favorite movie scenes. They were raw- death stared you right in the face, and they trusted that kids could handle it. What a compliment.

Yeah... I still fast forward through this scene when I watch The NeverEnding Story

Yeah, that scene got to me too...I was really amazed with how good Toy Story 3 was. The scene right before the end also got to me...just before they got rescued and had basically all accepted their deaths and started holding hands...oh man, powerful stuff. I felt like I was being corny but then I looked at my girlfriend after the credits started and she was BAWLING.

Damn, you just reminded me of one of the saddest things I experienced as a little kid. The first Land Before Time is a classic, but then they ruined by making like a million more.

Yeah, that's another one from my childhood that still gets to me. When I watched it when I was little, I would always hope that it would change and Artax would live...

Quick nitpick. Japanese animation is anime. If a work is manga, it is a Japanese comic book. :)

Ohhh yes. This scene destroyed me as a child. However, I have always hated Brave Little Toaster. Neverending story, too.

d'oh!
Thanks. That's what I get for ignoring my friends in high school. [They were into all that stuff] :)

Oh god yes. Saddest scene in a kids movie ever.

And this one always freaked me out (from Secret of NIMH):

I thought the ending of Thirteen Going on 30 was pretty well written, I thought it pretty much captures the emotions of a breakup. Imo it was one of the better endings of any romatic-comedy movie. It might not mean anything jumping in on the ending scene, sometimes it takes time watching the (whole) movie to understand what characters are going through.

Cried so, so hard at this one:

I cried.



Oh wait.

The only way that could be more awesome is if it was being narrated by Orson Welles.

Haha!

Edit:

Oops... I mean :(
