threeplusfireI cry in movies, frequently. I have cried every single time I've seen The Two Towers for one reason or another. I cry when watching The Last Unicorn, for god's sake. I cry when I read books, and there are many of those.
But there are very few things that will make me weep as if it were real. Dancer in the Dark was one of those, because of how I feel about the death penalty and Bjork's performance. I sobbed my way through the last fifteen minutes and had a mild nervous breakdown. That's a beautiful, amazing movie and sadly I will never be able to watch it again.
I think watching Ewan McGregor as Christian break down in the end of Moulin Rouge was one of the most awful, wrenching performances I've ever seen. Here I am, watching a movie I didn't expect to like at all, and crying out loud.
Gene was kind to me today, in an unexpected way. I care very much for him, you know. I wish we lead less complicated lives sometimes.
