movie scenes that make me cry

2 comments:
Pretty self-explanatory. I readily admit, I'm a huge sap when it comes to movies. Please, NO JUDGING, and pass me a tissue.
(Spoiler alerts, by the way)


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Eleven | Tangled
"You Were My New Dream." // IT'S JUST SO DARN SAD!


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Ten | Finding Neverland
Sylvia Finds Neverland // (blinks away tears)


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Nine | Dirty Dancing
I Had the Time of My Life // Although not sad at all, when she runs into his arms during the dance, I can't help but get a lump in my throat.


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Eight | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
 Dobby's Death // DOBBY DIES! NOOOOOO!


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Seven | War Horse
Joey and Albert are Reunited // Biiiiig tears.


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Six | Fox and the Hound
This one really is heart wrenching, especially the scene when Widow Tweed leaves Tod in the forest. 
I watched this movie for the first in about 10 years and went through almost an entire box of Kleenex.


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Five | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
My heart absolutely breaks when Eomer finds Eowyn lying on the battlefield. 
He is just so devastated!


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Four | Up
Ellie & Carl's Lives Together // I'm sure evvvveryone cried in that tear-jerking scene.


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Three | Jane Eyre (2011)
Final Scene // I love the end scene, when Jane comes back to Mr. Rochester. Sigh.


 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Two | Les Miserables (2012)
Finale // How can you not cry through pretty much the whole movie? 
But the end scene really breaks me down, when everyone starts singing "Do You Hear the People Sing."

 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> One | August Rush
I always tear up a little at the end scene, when August's rhapsody is being played. 
The music is so amazing, AND HIS FAMILY FINDS EACH OTHER!!!! So sweet.

wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

Or, The Very Best Under-rated, Under-appreciated, Forgotten, Unconventional, and/or Wayward Thinks I Could Think


i. blueberry lemonade.  It's more famous cousins, raspberry and strawberry, are but mere mortals in comparison to this piece of perfection.  


ii. words like: ebullience (n. bubbly; boiling over; enthusiastic); cynosure (n. point of focus; guiding star); quiddity (n. the essence of something; a peculiarity); apricity (n. the warmth of the sun in winter); snout-fair (adj. handsome, good looking; pertaining to Tom Hiddleston); nefilibata (n. cloud-walking; day dreaming); splendiferous (adj. splendid); delectation (n. pleasure, enjoyment); penumbra (n. half-shadow); mellifluous (adj. sweet-sounding); filipendulous (adj. hanging by a thread); wanweird (n. an unhappy fate); verisimilitude (n. having the appearance of truth).


iii. frozen grapes.  For reasons I have yet to understand, grapes taste 89.7% (I've done the math, guys) better when frozen.  


iv. the first few notes of your favourite song.  


v. the thesaurus.  Sadly, not a dinosaur.  More like a dictionary.  But spicier.



vi. how to steal a million.  Audrey Hepburn shoots Peter O'Toole in the arm and then they steal art.  Comic genius.  


{via}

vii. letters from father christmas by j.r.r. tolkien.  Following the escapades of Father Christmas and his argumentative henchman, the North Polar Bear.  Also broken north poles, soggy biscuits, and evil Christmas goblins.  Read it.  Unless you're very boring or very grown up.  Which you should fix immediately.

viii. that feeling you get from standing at the edge of your fear, then forcing yourself to leap, not knowing if you're going to succeed or go splat.  Although, if your fear is of heights, particularly of cliffs or buildings, I do not advise you to literally leap.

ix. smelling a scent or hearing a song that will be forever linked with a happy memory.  

x. actually being able to say something when there's something that needs saying.

xi. the ache in your belly when you've laughed too hard.

xii. the realization that, when you've done something that you thought you couldn't do, that maybe you could do something else you thought you couldn't.

xiii. baby sloths.  Or any sloths really.  I'm a fan.

Nessima Tavariel.  Or Nessie, like 
the Loch Ness Monster.  
Half way past half mad.  Rude and not ginger.
She most certainly is Spartacus.  Loves nothing
more than to hide away in stories and 
sketchbooks and behind the lens of a camera.  
Also has an exceptional fondness for Lord of the Rings, 
Doctor Who, big and obsolete words, 
sloths, and the colour blue.

:: a november to-do list

5 comments:

























listen:: the wind rustling the last of the golden autumn leaves; the lonely sound of wind chimes drifting from somewhere down the street; christmas carols; autumn leaves by ed sheeran

read:: holiday cookbooks; the book thief by markus zusak; that novel you've been planning on rereading since forever

inhale:: the hint of snow mixed in with the cool autumn wind; the scent of coffee & whiff of your favourite holiday drink as the barista hands it to you in a christmasy-red paper cup; the trace of cinnamon in the air from that delicious something in the oven

wear:: hoodies, skinny jeans, boots, & holiday patterned sweaters

do:: hang the holiday wreath on the front door; decorate the house with evergreen garlands & put up the christmas tree (because no, it's certainly not & never will be early); bake a batch of gingerbread cookies just because; sprinkle crushed candy cane over your vanilla ice cream; drink tea every day; go christmas shopping

watch:: your favourite classic holiday film; it's a wonderful life; the nativity story; the psych holiday episodes

i have no dear of depths 
& a great fear of
shallow living."

I'm Eve Victorie. My heart is out at sea & my imagination all over the place. I dream in sea blue & turquoise & I like stories more than anything. I believe in the little things in life because they are the ones that can make a difference. Windswept hair & sea breezes & coffee are my favourites.
