I know it doesn't seem like a lot. But I watched MANY MANY trailers and had a hard time deciding on which 5 to pick. It kinda gets confusing when I think of movies that made me cry and/or trailers that made me cry.
Please Note:
I am not a manic depressive or on any medication, so its not like I am one of those people who cry at the drop of a hat. And as lame as it is, all of these trailers I really did cry in the theatre when I saw them. Yeah, I guess it is pretty lame.
DEEP IMPACT
Ok, I just re-watched this trailer and I got goose-bumps and cried all over again. I know the movie was kinda lame and over – the top, but whoever edited that trailer did a better job then the guy who edited the actual film. It’s the music, the whimper of “Daddy”, the couple gazing at each other knowing its pointless to run, and the handing over of the baby, and I just melt all over again.
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
The fairytale love story juxtaposed with the greatest organized genocide in history. Oh yeah, I am gonna cry. I don’t even have to see the movie, because this trailer makes me cry already. Fucking Miramax. They know exactly how to toy with my emotions.
THE SEA INSIDE
Yes, the movie is really really depressing as well. But the trailer does a good job of giving you a nice preview of the sob fest that is in store for you. The idea of anyone being paralyzed from the neck down is depressing, and then throwing in euthanasia to the story, as well as the fantasies of the main character flying and kissing a beautiful woman. Jesus, I am crying again...
BLOODY SUNDAY
Maybe it’s because I’m of Irish descent. Maybe it’s because of that damn emotional U2 song. But I definitely remember sitting in a theatre and feeling my throat constrict and my eyes watering up when this trailer played.
MY LIFE WITHOUT ME
Ok, you people can’t judge me for this….She is a young woman with 2 kids and cancer! Who wouldn’t cry at the thought of that? Maybe it is a tad bit cheesy to put it all out there in the first 10 seconds of the trailer, but I still cry anyway. I think the gates are opened when you watch her record the birthday messages to her daughters so that they know she loved them even after she died. Sigh.
