The part most noticed by viewers: "I'm a nerd, I've never even had a girlfriend." Their reaction: empathy and sadness, offerings of hugs Reason: INJUSTICE!
"Don't put that thing over my face. Don't put me in the dark, I'm afraid of the dark." that part always makes me burst into tears. He is just so innocent.
even that little it without any build uo made me cry as is someone just stabbed my granny to death in front of me . . . just how innocent and how utterly resigned he is to his fate breaks me every time and how the only thing that renderes the guard able to pull the leaver is knowing anything else would be even worse for out stweet hard. . . . . The build up of the "i am tired line . . . ." fuck was that effectiv
That one scene in the Green Mile is one of the most heartbreaking things in film making. Mr. Duncan's performance was absolutely painful to watch, but also genuinely one of the best deliveries ever.
"Cries in your name" it actually sounds really confusing to the people who haven't watched that movie Edit: Yes, I know it's a movie named "Your Name."
What also makes John's death heart wrenching is that the guards offered to let him run, but he said no and stated that he wished to die because he had enough of how cruel the world is
Don’t ever forget that one scene in Just Mercy when herb gets executed. Even though we didn’t get a close relationship with him, this scene is devastating. 10/10 movie highly recommended
@Ryan Lynch Oh god yes! The mouse getting killed by that douchebag prisoner, the moment we realised the real meaning behind John Coffey's statement about the two girls - "I couldn't take it back"... yeah, there was a LOT of sadness mixed in with the lighter moments.
You ever seen just mercy The scene of Herbert's death is just heart breaking you feel bad cause hes on death row hes a nam vet and as hes strapped in the chair the people watching hear cups clanging as all the other inmates are rattling there cups and just yelling " WERE ALL HERE FOR YA HERBERT" and just before the switch is pulled he smiles a little and I'm crying writing this
The green mile is one of my favorite movies ever...when John coffee said “please don’t put me in the dark...I’m afraid of the dark” I bursted into tears
Whats even sadder is the fact that he is really dead now. Breaks my heart when good people like him die. Love is the strongest emotion and the world could use more of it.
In Up when Carl notices that Ellie filled out the rest of the adventure book with their life together makes me cry, too. The contrast of Carl feeling like he failed Ellie then him finding out that Ellie didn’t feel like they failed at all is so cute and loving. More moving than sad, but still makes me cry.
I felt like this scene was hugely overshadowed by the audience for a long time now. This scene feels incredibly emotional because the audience saw how broken and desolate Carl was after the passing of Ellie. Him being a cheerful and happy young person at the beginning of the montage only to turn into a lonely and depressed old man by the end. Throughout the movie Carl does everything to honor Ellie, like choosing to save their house over saving Kevin despite Russell's urgent pleas, because he feels that he failed Ellie on accomplishing their trip to Paradise Falls. To especially point out that Carl kept avoiding to look at the adventure book after her death at first, and be finally strong enough to open the book and realize how in Ellie's perspective, she was happy and accomplished with her life. And Ellie's message for Carl to move one and start his own adventures was what I believe started to steer him to a more happy and determined direction about saving Russell and Kevin. It's one of my favorite scenes in Pixar.
I don't agree with henryboseley / Closer Look's interpretation that the Up segment is about injustice. I prefer to call it love and grief. His life is not a tragedy - it was a wonderful thing. Ellie was a gift to him, even if it were taken away in the end. The most important aspect of this thing was that it explained why Carl was so attached to the house and the idea of the vacation and adventure.
@@jennyneon I agree with what Rita said. The title of the movie carries strong double meaning. In the literal sense, the title "Up" is fitting because they are going up into the sky, but it could also be interpreted as Carl starting the film at an all time low, and slowly rising up, and bringing the audience with him, as he finds something new to live for.
I just realised something about these movies The sad moment of Up happens at the beginning of the film The sad moment of Interstellar in the middle And the sad moment of The Green Mile at the end
@@souhiyori8032 that isn't possible to pull off. You know why? Because sad moments can only work when they get uplifted by the rest of the film. You can't make your audience sad if you exhaust this emotion all the way through. The same thing applies to scariness in horror movies
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 I mean interstellar kind of pulls that off. the scene where coper has to say goodbye to murph towards the beginning and then the middle, and when they reunite at the end. While i didnt cry at all 3 they all at least made me tear up
Dude I watched Endgame, the only marvel movie I ever watched. Half the time, I didn't understand anything. I still got the goosebumps when cap america said 'assemble'. Almost felt like crying right there
Bryon Cranston the actor of Walter white in breaking bad said that if the character cries, then the audience doesn’t have to. But if the character tries not to cry, that’s when the audience will.
I'm kind of suprised you didn't mention the impact of the music. In my opinion one of the most crucial things to make people feel the emotions. Nevertheless, great analysis on the visual part :)
Yeah, exactly. I was thinking about Doctor Who, and how the limited music in the Peter Capaldi run just kept my emotions in check. But I even shed a tear at the Jodie Whittaker Doctor episodes, because the music was there to enhance a scene.
Silence can be a powerful tool, but music can manipulate your emotions (maybe except fear) in a way no other sound can do. I cry everytime i listen to Schindlers List's Soundtrack, no matter how often i heard it!
"A confused viewer, is never going to cry" Totally agree, when I was a child and saw Up for the first time, I didn't understand how devastating the loss of a baby is, that the funeral of Ellie was indeed her funeral (I thought that Karl wanted to re-visit the place where he got married or smth) and those two key elements to make sadness totally failed me, I learned too late what meant what so I think I'll never cry to that scene again unless I want to, damn it
@@mintyhippo8125 At least for me this doesn't work. If I cried once because of a film or series, I will not again. It's still sad, but idk just not sad enough to make me cry again.
I also think the racial aspect made it more powerful as well. The attitudes towards black people at the time and place the film is set (not to mention the fact that he was convicted of a very violent crime against a white girl) made it so the guards who liked Jon Kofi couldn't openly express their grief and sadness at his unjust execution. Which I think adds to that strong sense of injustice.
ThatBlackChickWithNoHair The saddest part is when they want to bring him back to trial and perhaps save him, but Jon refuses and states that he’s tired of feeling everybody’s pain and not being able to help everybody. Man that was rough.
That's me tbh. The second Guardians of the Galaxy. Saw that and the theatre was packed. I remember hearing people sniffling all around me as they cried at the end. And with what happened, no spoilers, in my head I was like "Why are you all crying? You couldn't guess that this was coming? I was literally aware of this about five minutes before this "sad" moment started."
Thank you for this, i was trying to find how to make a sad video game, all I got was “SADDEST MOMENTS IN ROBLOX HISTORY 🥺😭” , “top ten most sad moments in video games💔…😔😔” and “ SAD SKIBIDI TOYLET SKIBIDI DEATH😭😭😭” this was the only thing I found, and it really helped me
For me, the moment in the Green Mile when I cried was not the execution scene, but the scene before it where Paul is talking to John and he says "On the day of my judgement, when I stand before God, and he asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles... what am I going to say?"
it didn't make me sad, it just made me really angry, and the anger kinda overwrote the sadness. I just wanted to see that guard-prick being tied to the chair.
In the novel, Delacroix was on death row for raping and murdering a young girl, then setting her body on fire to hide evidence which eventually led to the deaths of several other people.
I don’t find it sad but the soundtrack gives me the goosebumps with the intense moments like in the black hole scene or in the scene where they start playing mountains
This movie is really strong. I mean, it has everything. Space, drama, impossibly good soundtrack, exciting visuals and the most important part, crying in total gloom over a relationship at the same time impossible to apply to yourself and incredibly empathetic for probably anyone
I cried at _four_ different points in the film. One of them was not even sad!! I cried at the goddamn docking scene after Mann blew up the hatch! 🤣 Yes I am pathetic.
That was wonka's original plan. Instead of sending chocolate through the tv, he wanted to mace people through the tv. Wonka- "ahhhhh.....not a dry eye in the house.......soon.....not a dry eye in any house 😠".
Forrest Gump definitely got me the most. The biggest theme that the film deals with is innocence, even perpetrated by Forrest's mental disability which makes him so lovingly naive in the first place. He strives for happiness, and instead finds the ones he loves die around him. It is a truly heartwrenching module of injustice in any film, possibly the most significant.
Honestly, I feel like I cry hardest when a scene is sad but also has a beautiful undertone. I remember Klaus (spoilers) makes me ugly cry every time when Klaus disappears into the woods after announcing to his late wife that he’s coming. He’s not scared, he’s satisfied with the life he lived, which is something not everyone gets when it’s their time. When it shows Jesper looking for him, asking everyone they’ve met throughout the movie, I got this sad sad feeling. Klaus is happy, but he left so many people behind. The movie ends when Jesper has two children, tucking them into bed before he sets out some milk and cookies before sitting in a chair and staring at the chimney. The last thing he narrates is “I don’t know why or how, but once a year, I get to see my friend again.” As he hears someone come down the chimney Something about tragedy that is interlaced with a beautiful undertone really hits me and a lot of my friends, since you don’t always see things like death highlighted in a more positive way, allowing us to know that everything isn’t always as bleak as it seems
-Have a kid have mom troubles with no dad -have him have an escape from this world where he can enjoy himself - He makes friends and has a good time -Make him realize his mom is the only real thing he had and make him regret his actions -Some kid in a wolf suit
I think even if you don't really understand every aspect of Evangelion the troubled relationships between the characters and the main theme of people being unable to express or relate to others without pain can be felt regardless.
In The Outsiders, Johnny Cades’s death is the same way. He was abused all his life, rescued children from a church fire, and he still died, while Ponyboy, his friend, couldn’t do anything to help him. Great video!
I know. I personally find the fact that he had done good all his life yet faced such injustice. He wasn’t even happy when they won the fight, just disappointed. It shows that Johnny had not cared about the darker side of the world anymore.
One particular scene that gets me is the scene on I Am Legend where Will Smith's character has to kill his dog that is infected with the virus. The close up to his face while he's angry and crying really expresses the injustice that he feels of his dog getting robbed of its life and not only that but he is getting robbed of his only living friend.
How to make the audience cry: -Have a king -Make him roam around and interact in a kingdom -Captures monsters -Monsters escape -Wife dies -Jumps off a balcony -done
I was coming in and out of my room to the kitchen in my house, and I kept passing my mom folding laundry watching the green mile for a while. I stayed and watched the last thirty minutes. I have never cried because of a movie before, but just those thirty minutes put tears in my eyes.
I think what also makes the Up sequence especially sad is that it's so perfectly normal. There's no fantastical tragedy that sweeps his life. It's simply a view of a plausible life, as we see 5 second snipets of Everyman's life story. There is happiness, love, joy, sadness, death, and loneliness. These are all experiences we are nearly guaranteed as humans. It serves as an overview of our own pointless fleeting mortality and that terrifies and saddens us. The rest of the movie uses this understanding of existence to make a point that it's never too late to seek adventure and find joy in life once again.
The real "great tragedy" is the "small tragedy" and by decoding that from the movies, you can learn a lot about human behaviour and the great tragedy that is life ;-)
How to make the audience cry: - create a compelling and appealing character for your audience - have the audience learn to care for the character - have them follow the character’s journey for years - kill them off Congratulations. You made the audience cry.
The whole time he's building up his character to be this nice likable guy, who has done nothing wrong and we begin to feel as if we know him. Then he lays it on us "I've never even had a girlfriend, I'm a nerd." This not only makes the viewer weep with empathy, but it's also a twist, which is a call back to some of his earlier work --- Well done.
I can't say I cried over it, but that did strike me when I heard it. I'm so used to seeing these red pill incels online, that it never occured to me such a thoughtful invividual that clearly constantly works on improving themselves might fit into that category 😳 All I can say is, I hope he does stumble upon someone who can see past the awkwardness, if he so wishes. I doubt it helps any, but I have found a shit-ton of confidence working a customer service job. With the ready-made formula to every interaction, and the option to stray from that to add a bit more personality bit by bit as you gain more confidence, that has changed my life completely. In the state I was in before I started, I could maybe talk to an interesting shell on the beach, but that was the amount of strangers I could handle
@@Inka.R. My TLDR is basically, the media and different social movements have grown the divide in the ideologies of the original genders. We are saying we want things that we were told to want and in some cases, compromise or settling for things that we don’t want but don’t have the leverage to attain.
@@Inka.R. Yeah, there's a lot of incredibly toxic redpill incels and it can make you forget that at least broadly, the term can and does probably apply to a lot of perfectly decent people.
Green mile was so sad, dell's death made me sob like a baby first time i saw it, especially when percy told dell that mousevile isnt real, that moment and the iconic line about not wanting to be left in the dark are the things that made me and every person i know weep like a child, the only happy death was billy the kid's death
I've never seen The Green Mile, but that scene you included at the end, those scant seconds where the convict is asking not to be hooded, was like a stab of sorrow that brought me to immediate tears. Even without knowing anything about the story. Amazing...
An example of “you don’t need to empathize with a character to be sad when they die” that I couldn’t help but think of during this was Walter White. He became a horrible person, and barely anyone in the audience could empathize for him, yet it was still very sad to watch when he died
@@zeej80 i wouldnt say redemption. Walter just rights his wrongs with Jesse and cleans up everything connected to him. Him dying is him being victorious in never being caught and having lived his life to the fullest in the short time he had left.
I had a different experience with breaking bad. Empathize means to understand someone's feelings, Walter might have made some horrible decisions and was straight up evil towards the end but he was also well fleshed out, his motivations made sense, we could see how everything effected him, and I still found him easy to empathize with. If I dont have that kind of connection to character and the show wants me to feel sad then it better have some damn good music
there is one movie in which the same dog reincarnates in different dogs and they kill him everytime. They kill like 5 times the same dog and the dog is the narrator
Inside Out was also a great movie that followed this formula of contrasts and injustice. Strangely, the scene that nearly made me cry was when the monkey island fell down. Riley lost Joy and Sadness to no fault of her own and watching the grey barren island (each island had a personal resemblance) fall down into a void of damp darkness, it was accompanied by cutscenes of happy memories of Riley being a complete goofball and having playful fun, just being a kid. It's powerful because it reflects losing a very defining part of yourself because of circumstances you cannot control. Another example was, interestingly, Minecraft: Story Mode, chapter 4. The writers made Rueben the pig such a lovable companion to the gang, and the big injustice is that Rueben essentially saved the day, the poor piglet didn't deserve to die. This shows that sometimes serving justice to everyone else comes at the cost of injustice to you, you did your part for everyone else, and you get no reward, no chance to see the bright world afterwards that you helped save. It's what made Iron Man's death very compelling as well in Avengers: Endgame, which I will mention, Tony dying did not make me cry, Tony's hologram telling Morgan, "I love you 3000" is what made me bawl my eyes out. Tony always learns from his mistakes, he never got to say goodbye to his parents, so he left a message behind so that he could say goodbye to his daughter one more time. And the cherry on top was the "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart" on a bouquet sent into the stream, a callback to the message that kept him going in the first Iron Man movie 11 years (15 years chronologically) before.
Inside out was MY first movie to strongly trigger tears from me... at a late age 35, too! For me it was when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley may never be happy again, especially when she said "Do you remember... when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" That was like "OK GAME OVER" for me...!
@@awesomelalo5125 That's why editors exist. Good grammar makes writing passable, but good ideas make writing separate from every other novelist trying to make a buck. Also, don't jab at someone if you don't know how to end a sentence or start new ones.
How true! Waaaay sadder than the topic. Dude you've got 611k subs. You've gotta be likeable so get off your pc, head to the nearest bar and talk to peeps. You're breaking my heart!
Same thing happened to me, but it's this ad about degreaser. It the started buffering and still is. I'm reading the comments right now waiting for it to continue. I never thought it would come to this :(
The first time i saw Up I was alone in college in my underwear eating ice cream. Clearly it wasn't a high point in my life but I managed not to cry, although it was very sad. Fast Forward several years, married, things are great. We decide to watch Up for some stupid reason. First time my wife saw me cry. That shit is so damn powerful. The thought of getting through life and ending up alone again in the end terrifies me.
I recommend that u cry more often. It seems like u have a negative view of crying and idk if this is true but there r some hints that support this theory. My point is, that it is healty for u and also for ur relationships if u show them that it is okay to cry by crying infront of them. I recognized that especially many fathers have a problem with this topic bc they also never saw their father cry but it is important for kids to know that it is okay to be sad and to cry infront of others, that it is okay to be weak :)
A good emotional scene for me is one that will always make me cry or tear up, even after seeing it many times or know what’s about to come. Perfect example: The Iron Giant. I don’t think there’s ever been a time where I didn’t get choked up at the scene when the Giant flies into the nuclear missile to save the entire town.
Remember that scene of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,when Will Smith's dad leaves and Will's like "How come he don't want me back?" Not gonna lie,I cried watching that scene.
A lot of people are talking about how music is needed for scenes that make you cry, but sometimes pure slience and allowing the full force of the emotions to come through is better. Exhibit A being the scene you commented about.
I understood his pain. I'm in the same boat. I cried on her, so much more relatable than a lot of movies I watch. These three choices were sad movies though. Very rememberable to.
This video is all about oversimplifying a masterpiece. A good movie that brings you joy is not a methodical work but an artistic one that requires talent.
What's the difference between murdering someone without anybody knowing and with someone knowing? Yes, there's a witness but it doesn't change anything about the murder.
I've never cried over a movie until right before I moved in to college. I rewatched Toy Story 3 and the scene when Andy left the toys and went off to college had me shedding a few tears since I actually was starting to feel what it was going to be like to leave.
Oh wow what timing for you to watch that movie too! That movie is infamous for tears! Inside out was MY first movie to strongly trigger tears from me... at a late age 35, too! For me it was when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley may never be happy again, especially when she said "Do you remember... when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" That was like "OK GAME OVER" for me...!
Getting to care about the characters seems like it should be the most important part of making the audience feel for them, but then you have instances like the beginning to Up. So there's something else going on here.
Yea. I think that's the reason Y "Steven Universe" is such a sad story (as a whole). The main character - Steven - is very likeable, and by that, I mean that he's that cute child you want to protect, and you just don't want him to get hurt, but unfortunatily, he does... He gets hurt because of all the terrible things his mother did, before she died during his birth. But there's more... In the new season (which was a timeskip sequel), it was shown that most of his "adventures" in the story gave him a serious trauma, and in the end, he turns into a monster, and becomes the endgame villian... Honestly, this story was so sad, I always get sad when I think about it...
DeadStrike99 For me it was "Daddy." Can't get over that one. I realized that all I was looking at was an 11 year old girl who had lost everything watch the last person that was important in her life die. The injustice bwing that she had lost her childhood and her every meaningful relationship she ever had. And she was so young. Compound that with the end of Wolverine and I couldn't handle myself
Freya The Playa Logan was the best Marvel Movie emotional wise, it wasn't about the characters as superheroes anymore as they are innocent people dealing with life. Even all the easter eggs which if it were any other Marvel film people would flip out in excitement, in Logan people were so silent as they let it sink in because the Easter Eggs were still amazing but so sad tone wise
I love that he explains about Up being so good in the montage. I've always found it underrated, and the day I finally got to write a review about Up for a schoolproject of mine, I took my chance and described the beauty behind it with the exact same words. Thank you for making this video
The only movie that made me cry was Forrest Gump. It was in the scene where he was at Jenny’s grave, and talking to her. How he has lost the person he loved the most his entire life. Yet he never did anything wrong. He was always this nice and sweat character. That is one of the many reasons that Forrest Gump is my favorite movie of all time.
I’ve meet the real Forrest Gump I believe his name is David or Davis. Anyways to help you out his wife isn’t addicted to drugs and she is still with him. So hope that helps you be relieved. Also Big Facts! The part where he is running across America is actually based on his son. Who would say “he’s running to insert location” because so many people would call him to visit them back in the day. The movie took it one step up and literally made him run everywhere across America.
I've cried with a lot but it's Forrest's innocent and totally undeserving of injustice character what always gets me. When Jenny's lying on the bed where Forrest's mother passed away, and he starts talking and telling her about all the places he saw while running, oh, Jesus. I couldn't stop, not even after the credits ended. You just feel the moment approaching, the moment of goodbye, and it's so beautiful and sad that I'm literally tearing up again as I write
Perosnally, the part of Interstellar that nearly makes me cry every damn time is when Coop is in the black hole. Slowly he starts to realise he's the one that's been sending Murph messages through the bookshelves. The point that he realises that, no matter what he does, he can't make himself stay in the past. The "Don't let me leave, Murph", is what gets me every time.
The green mile certainly might be a master piece. I havnt even watched the movie and the scene you showed me brought me to tears. And I don't cry on stories.
The Green Mile is that film that never fails to break me. Either in the scene described or the one later where we see the mouse still alive in the current time, one or both of those will have me crying. I first saw the film around the time it was released as well so it's not a new film to me either. I think the other thing worth mentioning in both Interstellar and the Green Mile is the acting. Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar and Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan all put in superb performances, and I think it's no coincidence that these great moments are also examples of superb acting.
@@SingingSealRiana Yeah, that was the one that hit me too. I remember John said: "and sometimes I feel so alone, .. like a sparrow in the rain" (John Coffee in the same speech) And I could FEEL that :)
I'd also like to point out the amazing angle the camera is placed at for the footage Cooper sees in Interstellar I can't help but feel like it conveys the point of view a parent, a father, would have when physically looking down at their own child & how painful it must be to see your now adult child still looking up at you begging for you & your love
I'm pretty sure she had the same issue that Marilyn Monroe did, like endometriosis or her ectopic(tube) pregnancy were there would have been no saving the child. Bc why start setting up a nursery if they weren't getting ready for the baby?
Am i the only one who cries harder at the scene where he finds the book towards the end of the movie, when he thinks he has failed to make the woman he loved happy by giving her the one thing they wanted to do only to discover that in the end she regarded him and the life they shared as her greatest adventure? Because everytime i think about it (including now) i tear up.
I put my eyes on the thumbnail and started to cry. So yeah, I clicked on it. Thank you so much for this video! I often watch different movies, some are very good at writing scenes that make the audience feel, some seem like they don't know what they’re going for. Of course it's hard to put a good fictional character together, even with the bad traits that a normal human being would have, and then, make the audience feel. Put me there side to side with this person, let me hold them and say everything's gonna be fine. I have the DVD of The Green Mile till today, I watched it with my father when I was a little kid. I remember to cry a lot. The big guy was so nice, and so I was waiting for the nice big guy to be happy in the end, of course, isn’t this the normal way? And so he did not. Man, I could watch this movie thousands of times and I would cry the same way, because the connection that the writers and directors created was so strong that even just looking at the screen, seeing just some parts of their days…
Warwick, Your grandma's fear oh god yes, I didn't even cry when Jenny died or his mom. But that simple plea of a boy turned into a man by war begging to go home to his mom just broke me.
The part most noticed by viewers: "I'm a nerd, I've never even had a girlfriend."

I have never seen that move but in the scene that he showed and the knowledge of the character and the situation he was in got me Reeeeeeeeeeeal sad
Denise Cornelius geuss who be crying right now boi
that "don't put me in the dark" line is absolutely heartbreaking.
even that little it without any build uo made me cry as is someone just stabbed my granny to death in front of me . . .
just how innocent and how utterly resigned he is to his fate breaks me every time and how the only thing that renderes the guard able to pull the leaver is knowing anything else would be even worse for out stweet hard. . . . .
The build up of the "i am tired line . . . ." fuck was that effectiv
I’ve never even seen this movie and I burst out into tears watching this, goes to show the great filmmaking that went into this scene.
I've never even watched the film, but seeing that scene and hearing "I'm afraid of the dark" just H U R T
“i’s afraid of the dark” I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE
Yeah:(
That one scene in the Green Mile is one of the most heartbreaking things in film making. Mr. Duncan's performance was absolutely painful to watch, but also genuinely one of the best deliveries ever.
yes
Yeah, truly , John was an amazing character.
And during emotional scenes Mr. Duncan would recall his father leaving him as a child to evoke such profound emotions
Me, crying, and taking notes: g-good point.... mate...
LITERALLY SAME FUCK

Don’t ever forget that one scene in Just Mercy when herb gets executed. Even though we didn’t get a close relationship with him, this scene is devastating. 10/10 movie highly recommended
“don’t put me in the dark boss. I’s afraid of the dark.”
@Ryan Lynch Oh god yes! The mouse getting killed by that douchebag prisoner, the moment we realised the real meaning behind John Coffey's statement about the two girls - "I couldn't take it back"... yeah, there was a LOT of sadness mixed in with the lighter moments.
I bawled my eyes out when I first watched that scene. I've got tears in my eyes right now just thinking about it. Poor John Coffey...
You ever seen just mercy
The scene of Herbert's death is just heart breaking you feel bad cause hes on death row hes a nam vet and as hes strapped in the chair the people watching hear cups clanging as all the other inmates are rattling there cups and just yelling " WERE ALL HERE FOR YA HERBERT" and just before the switch is pulled he smiles a little and I'm crying writing this
I have only cried once at film in the last 10 years, and it was that damned movie

Raven Edge every one did

Not like the drink...
That is the saddest line ever in a movie
Whats even sadder is the fact that he is really dead now. Breaks my heart when good people like him die. Love is the strongest emotion and the world could use more of it.
Im glad he died
In Up when Carl notices that Ellie filled out the rest of the adventure book with their life together makes me cry, too.
The contrast of Carl feeling like he failed Ellie then him finding out that Ellie didn’t feel like they failed at all is so cute and loving.
More moving than sad, but still makes me cry.
I felt like this scene was hugely overshadowed by the audience for a long time now. This scene feels incredibly emotional because the audience saw how broken and desolate Carl was after the passing of Ellie. Him being a cheerful and happy young person at the beginning of the montage only to turn into a lonely and depressed old man by the end. Throughout the movie Carl does everything to honor Ellie, like choosing to save their house over saving Kevin despite Russell's urgent pleas, because he feels that he failed Ellie on accomplishing their trip to Paradise Falls. To especially point out that Carl kept avoiding to look at the adventure book after her death at first, and be finally strong enough to open the book and realize how in Ellie's perspective, she was happy and accomplished with her life. And Ellie's message for Carl to move one and start his own adventures was what I believe started to steer him to a more happy and determined direction about saving Russell and Kevin. It's one of my favorite scenes in Pixar.
@@joserios4409 I agree wholeheartedly with you
I agree, that scene makes me more emotional than the beginning, actually.
That part had my husband sobbing
I don't agree with henryboseley / Closer Look's interpretation that the Up segment is about injustice. I prefer to call it love and grief. His life is not a tragedy - it was a wonderful thing. Ellie was a gift to him, even if it were taken away in the end.
The most important aspect of this thing was that it explained why Carl was so attached to the house and the idea of the vacation and adventure.
It's ironic that the movie called _“Up”_ puts everyone's mood _down._
But you can't get more up than by starting at the bottom...
@@ritaress9910 That is true.
@@jennyneon I agree with what Rita said. The title of the movie carries strong double meaning. In the literal sense, the title "Up" is fitting because they are going up into the sky, but it could also be interpreted as Carl starting the film at an all time low, and slowly rising up, and bringing the audience with him, as he finds something new to live for.
🌽
That movie had so many gutpunch moments, interspersed between moments of absolute joy. It puts you both up and down, which makes for good writing.
I just realised something about these movies
The sad moment of Up happens at the beginning of the film
The sad moment of Interstellar in the middle
And the sad moment of The Green Mile at the end
now imagine a film with sad moments all throughout the movie
@@souhiyori8032 that isn't possible to pull off. You know why? Because sad moments can only work when they get uplifted by the rest of the film. You can't make your audience sad if you exhaust this emotion all the way through. The same thing applies to scariness in horror movies
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 mf have you seen the movie about the dog that keeps being reborn after death
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 I mean interstellar kind of pulls that off. the scene where coper has to say goodbye to murph towards the beginning and then the middle, and when they reunite at the end. While i didnt cry at all 3 they all at least made me tear up

I'm kind of suprised you didn't mention the impact of the music. In my opinion one of the most crucial things to make people feel the emotions. Nevertheless, great analysis on the visual part :)
Roald S. "Someone flew over the cuckoos nest" agree
Yeah, exactly. I was thinking about Doctor Who, and how the limited music in the Peter Capaldi run just kept my emotions in check. But I even shed a tear at the Jodie Whittaker Doctor episodes, because the music was there to enhance a scene.
dude i was talking about the movie with Jack Nicholson
Sometimes silence is also really powerful
Silence can be a powerful tool, but music can manipulate your emotions (maybe except fear) in a way no other sound can do.

"A confused viewer, is never going to cry"
Totally agree, when I was a child and saw Up for the first time, I didn't understand how devastating the loss of a baby is, that the funeral of Ellie was indeed her funeral (I thought that Karl wanted to re-visit the place where he got married or smth) and those two key elements to make sadness totally failed me, I learned too late what meant what so I think I'll never cry to that scene again unless I want to, damn it
Can’t you just watch it again? The reveals aren’t the only sad part, it’s the contrast with the good and bad
Just wait a decade and rewatch it like me
Same was with Mufasa death
Dawg I didn’t know those things either as a kid and still cried my ass off
@@mintyhippo8125 At least for me this doesn't work. If I cried once because of a film or series, I will not again. It's still sad, but idk just not sad enough to make me cry again.
The green mile hit me harder than the others, that dude was the most innocent dude
Same
I also think the racial aspect made it more powerful as well. The attitudes towards black people at the time and place the film is set (not to mention the fact that he was convicted of a very violent crime against a white girl) made it so the guards who liked Jon Kofi couldn't openly express their grief and sadness at his unjust execution. Which I think adds to that strong sense of injustice.
@@knucklescapricorn31 it also adds to their strong friendship and trust the guards had for him considering the circumstances
ThatBlackChickWithNoHair The saddest part is when they want to bring him back to trial and perhaps save him, but Jon refuses and states that he’s tired of feeling everybody’s pain and not being able to help everybody. Man that was rough.
Also, it hits you that he was trying to save those girls in the beginning. He was crying for them.

For me, the moment in the Green Mile when I cried was not the execution scene, but the scene before it where Paul is talking to John and he says "On the day of my judgement, when I stand before God, and he asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles... what am I going to say?"
Because it is a horrifying scene, you know it is kind of terryfying. Not the "crying" sad it is the "fuck why did he have to die like this" sad
it didn't make me sad, it just made me really angry, and the anger kinda overwrote the sadness. I just wanted to see that guard-prick being tied to the chair.

Forrest Gump definitely got me the most. The biggest theme that the film deals with is innocence, even perpetrated by Forrest's mental disability which makes him so lovingly naive in the first place.
He strives for happiness, and instead finds the ones he loves die around him. It is a truly heartwrenching module of injustice in any film, possibly the most significant.

Dustoe McDust Stop... My heart can't take this...
But humans are social creatures. I think you should see the movie Into the Wild.
Honestly, I feel like I cry hardest when a scene is sad but also has a beautiful undertone.
I remember Klaus (spoilers) makes me ugly cry every time when Klaus disappears into the woods after announcing to his late wife that he’s coming. He’s not scared, he’s satisfied with the life he lived, which is something not everyone gets when it’s their time.
When it shows Jesper looking for him, asking everyone they’ve met throughout the movie, I got this sad sad feeling. Klaus is happy, but he left so many people behind. The movie ends when Jesper has two children, tucking them into bed before he sets out some milk and cookies before sitting in a chair and staring at the chimney. The last thing he narrates is “I don’t know why or how, but once a year, I get to see my friend again.” As he hears someone come down the chimney
Something about tragedy that is interlaced with a beautiful undertone really hits me and a lot of my friends, since you don’t always see things like death highlighted in a more positive way, allowing us to know that everything isn’t always as bleak as it seems

One particular scene that gets me is the scene on I Am Legend where Will Smith's character has to kill his dog that is infected with the virus. The close up to his face while he's angry and crying really expresses the injustice that he feels of his dog getting robbed of its life and not only that but he is getting robbed of his only living friend.
what really gets me is the scene just after that, when he goes into the shop and is desperate for the dummy to speak to him, "please say hello to me"

I was coming in and out of my room to the kitchen in my house, and I kept passing my mom folding laundry watching the green mile for a while. I stayed and watched the last thirty minutes. I have never cried because of a movie before, but just those thirty minutes put tears in my eyes.
I think what also makes the Up sequence especially sad is that it's so perfectly normal. There's no fantastical tragedy that sweeps his life. It's simply a view of a plausible life, as we see 5 second snipets of Everyman's life story. There is happiness, love, joy, sadness, death, and loneliness. These are all experiences we are nearly guaranteed as humans.
It serves as an overview of our own pointless fleeting mortality and that terrifies and saddens us. The rest of the movie uses this understanding of existence to make a point that it's never too late to seek adventure and find joy in life once again.
Well said.

I've never seen The Green Mile, but that scene you included at the end, those scant seconds where the convict is asking not to be hooded, was like a stab of sorrow that brought me to immediate tears. Even without knowing anything about the story. Amazing...
I watched it myself and let me tell you, I got a headache from crying so much but it's a truly beautiful film
An example of “you don’t need to empathize with a character to be sad when they die” that I couldn’t help but think of during this was Walter White. He became a horrible person, and barely anyone in the audience could empathize for him, yet it was still very sad to watch when he died
It’s a masterpiece at a redemption arc!
@@zeej80 i wouldnt say redemption. Walter just rights his wrongs with Jesse and cleans up everything connected to him. Him dying is him being victorious in never being caught and having lived his life to the fullest in the short time he had left.
I had a different experience with breaking bad. Empathize means to understand someone's feelings, Walter might have made some horrible decisions and was straight up evil towards the end but he was also well fleshed out, his motivations made sense, we could see how everything effected him, and I still found him easy to empathize with.

Inside Out was also a great movie that followed this formula of contrasts and injustice. Strangely, the scene that nearly made me cry was when the monkey island fell down. Riley lost Joy and Sadness to no fault of her own and watching the grey barren island (each island had a personal resemblance) fall down into a void of damp darkness, it was accompanied by cutscenes of happy memories of Riley being a complete goofball and having playful fun, just being a kid. It's powerful because it reflects losing a very defining part of yourself because of circumstances you cannot control.
Another example was, interestingly, Minecraft: Story Mode, chapter 4. The writers made Rueben the pig such a lovable companion to the gang, and the big injustice is that Rueben essentially saved the day, the poor piglet didn't deserve to die. This shows that sometimes serving justice to everyone else comes at the cost of injustice to you, you did your part for everyone else, and you get no reward, no chance to see the bright world afterwards that you helped save. It's what made Iron Man's death very compelling as well in Avengers: Endgame, which I will mention, Tony dying did not make me cry, Tony's hologram telling Morgan, "I love you 3000" is what made me bawl my eyes out. Tony always learns from his mistakes, he never got to say goodbye to his parents, so he left a message behind so that he could say goodbye to his daughter one more time. And the cherry on top was the "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart" on a bouquet sent into the stream, a callback to the message that kept him going in the first Iron Man movie 11 years (15 years chronologically) before.
Inside out was MY first movie to strongly trigger tears from me... at a late age 35, too! For me it was when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley may never be happy again, especially when she said "Do you remember... when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?"
That was like "OK GAME OVER" for me...!

Fast Forward several years, married, things are great. We decide to watch Up for some stupid reason. First time my wife saw me cry. That shit is so damn powerful. The thought of getting through life and ending up alone again in the end terrifies me.
I recommend that u cry more often. It seems like u have a negative view of crying and idk if this is true but there r some hints that support this theory. My point is, that it is healty for u and also for ur relationships if u show them that it is okay to cry by crying infront of them. I recognized that especially many fathers have a problem with this topic bc they also never saw their father cry but it is important for kids to know that it is okay to be sad and to cry infront of others, that it is okay to be weak :)

A good emotional scene for me is one that will always make me cry or tear up, even after seeing it many times or know what’s about to come. Perfect example: The Iron Giant.

You don't have to have the same experiences as someone else to have sympathy for them. That's called empathy.
Remember that scene of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,when Will Smith's dad leaves and Will's like "How come he don't want me back?" Not gonna lie,I cried watching that scene.
i remember that one, it was really sad
Literally teared up reading this comment, how dare you
Thats a meme in latin américa he says in spanish "como es posible que no me quiera?" Which means "How is posible that she Doesn't love me?"
A lot of people are talking about how music is needed for scenes that make you cry, but sometimes pure slience and allowing the full force of the emotions to come through is better. Exhibit A being the scene you commented about.
That part wasn’t even scripted.
The green mile made me ball my eyes out. It was probably the most powerful moment in film for me. Especially when the mouse died, I yelled out “NO!”
That scene with the mouse was horrendous, I was crying about that for months after I watched it
*bawl
"I'm a nerd, I've never even had a girlfriend" Like if you cried.
Its the injustice
Now that's sad
*F*
I came to comment section looking for u
I understood his pain. I'm in the same boat. I cried on her, so much more relatable than a lot of movies I watch. These three choices were sad movies though. Very rememberable to.
This video is all about oversimplifying a masterpiece. A good movie that brings you joy is not a methodical work but an artistic one that requires talent.
Step 1: show loving family
Step: 2 kill loving family
Step 3: roll the beat
Step 4: and scene
Roll credits
CHESS Fan nah
So pretty much the one sequence in Logan
Yeah happy ending!
And the game was nothing like the trailer, even sadder than the actual trailer...
Just you explaining the opening of UP almost made me cry
The beginning of Up was brutal.
I admit it I started balling my eyes out
"How Carl's been a good person and lived a life without sin"
Little did we know, that he was cooking meth in an RV without his wife's knowledge.

What's the difference between murdering someone without anybody knowing and with someone knowing? Yes, there's a witness but it doesn't change anything about the murder.
@@projectpitchfork860 i think when you "kill" someone you KNOW you did it,so there's no "nobody know" even when there's none arround
I've never cried over a movie until right before I moved in to college. I rewatched Toy Story 3 and the scene when Andy left the toys and went off to college had me shedding a few tears since I actually was starting to feel what it was going to be like to leave.
Oh wow what timing for you to watch that movie too! That movie is infamous for tears!
Inside out was MY first movie to strongly trigger tears from me... at a late age 35, too! For me it was when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley may never be happy again, especially when she said "Do you remember... when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?"
That was like "OK GAME OVER" for me...!
When he showed the shot of the up guy sitting alone at his wife’s funeral I started crying
You know it's effective when even the out of context analysis of a scene makes you cry.
I feel like it is
1. The effect of the sad action is shown.
2. Something bad happens to a character.
3. It's a character that you actually care about.
Getting to care about the characters seems like it should be the most important part of making the audience feel for them, but then you have instances like the beginning to Up. So there's something else going on here.
Thanks sans
ok sans
Correct
Yea. I think that's the reason Y "Steven Universe" is such a sad story (as a whole). The main character - Steven - is very likeable, and by that, I mean that he's that cute child you want to protect, and you just don't want him to get hurt, but unfortunatily, he does... He gets hurt because of all the terrible things his mother did, before she died during his birth. But there's more... In the new season (which was a timeskip sequel), it was shown that most of his "adventures" in the story gave him a serious trauma, and in the end, he turns into a monster, and becomes the endgame villian... Honestly, this story was so sad, I always get sad when I think about it...
Had to add Logan to the short list of films that made me cry. "It wasn't me, Charles, it wasn't me..."
Freya The Playa So... that's how it feels like...
That's the line that broke me
DeadStrike99 For me it was "Daddy." Can't get over that one. I realized that all I was looking at was an 11 year old girl who had lost everything watch the last person that was important in her life die. The injustice bwing that she had lost her childhood and her every meaningful relationship she ever had. And she was so young. Compound that with the end of Wolverine and I couldn't handle myself
Adam Woolston
I'm still recpvering from LOGAN emotionally.
Freya The Playa fuck you just opened the flood gates again.
Freya The Playa Logan was the best Marvel Movie emotional wise, it wasn't about the characters as superheroes anymore as they are innocent people dealing with life. Even all the easter eggs which if it were any other Marvel film people would flip out in excitement, in Logan people were so silent as they let it sink in because the Easter Eggs were still amazing but so sad tone wise
I love that he explains about Up being so good in the montage. I've always found it underrated, and the day I finally got to write a review about Up for a schoolproject of mine, I took my chance and described the beauty behind it with the exact same words. Thank you for making this video
The only movie that made me cry was Forrest Gump. It was in the scene where he was at Jenny’s grave, and talking to her. How he has lost the person he loved the most his entire life. Yet he never did anything wrong. He was always this nice and sweat character. That is one of the many reasons that Forrest Gump is my favorite movie of all time.
he sure was sweaty
I’ve meet the real Forrest Gump I believe his name is David or Davis. Anyways to help you out his wife isn’t addicted to drugs and she is still with him. So hope that helps you be relieved. Also Big Facts! The part where he is running across America is actually based on his son. Who would say “he’s running to insert location” because so many people would call him to visit them back in the day. The movie took it one step up and literally made him run everywhere across America.
Tae Her wait wait wait....you’ve MET Forrest Gump(or Davis or whatever)? He’s real?! I thought he was based of a novel. How did you meet him?
I'm pretty sure my english teacher agrees with you because she made us watch this like 5 times
I've cried with a lot but it's Forrest's innocent and totally undeserving of injustice character what always gets me. When Jenny's lying on the bed where Forrest's mother passed away, and he starts talking and telling her about all the places he saw while running, oh, Jesus. I couldn't stop, not even after the credits ended. You just feel the moment approaching, the moment of goodbye, and it's so beautiful and sad that I'm literally tearing up again as I write
"Im a nerd ive never even had a girlfriend"
Me: *Tinge of sympathy*
ok
Take a shot for every time he says “Injustice”
Drunk and dead. I miss my friend.
4 shots lol
I think I did the wrong type of "shot". I've got multiple bullets holes in me and I'm bleeding.
Frosty thats literally what the video is about, what is your point?
Perosnally, the part of Interstellar that nearly makes me cry every damn time is when Coop is in the black hole. Slowly he starts to realise he's the one that's been sending Murph messages through the bookshelves. The point that he realises that, no matter what he does, he can't make himself stay in the past. The "Don't let me leave, Murph", is what gets me every time.
The scene in Interstellar when her daughter said "I'm the age you were when you left" made me sob.
The green mile certainly might be a master piece. I havnt even watched the movie and the scene you showed me brought me to tears. And I don't cry on stories.
The Green Mile is truly an amazing movie. I know it's been seven months, but if you haven't seen it, you really should
8 months I know, but agree with the above comment. It is among the best films ever made.
An outstanding movie
The Green Mile is that film that never fails to break me. Either in the scene described or the one later where we see the mouse still alive in the current time, one or both of those will have me crying. I first saw the film around the time it was released as well so it's not a new film to me either.
I think the other thing worth mentioning in both Interstellar and the Green Mile is the acting. Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar and Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan all put in superb performances, and I think it's no coincidence that these great moments are also examples of superb acting.
for me a big moment in the green mile was, when the build up of the line "I am tired" payed of . . . oh fuck that hit hard.
@@SingingSealRiana Yeah, that was the one that hit me too. I remember John said:
"and sometimes I feel so alone, .. like a sparrow in the rain" (John Coffee in the same speech)
And I could FEEL that :)
I'd also like to point out the amazing angle the camera is placed at for the footage Cooper sees in Interstellar
I can't help but feel like it conveys the point of view a parent, a father, would have when physically looking down at their own child & how painful it must be to see your now adult child still looking up at you begging for you & your love

“I’m a nerd, I’ve never even had a girlfriend”
We’re all with you man
Helplessness helps, too.
Understanding why a character’s sad, and watching them accept that there’s nothing they can do…
but cry.
one of the most amazing and thoughtful ideas I have seen in a video. Great execution and examples
"You can sleep now, Tony".... always makes me cry.
Or “we won mr stark, c’mon sir you did it” and “it’s okay” endgame is a sad ass film

We know you grew up with this character
So pepper 2008 is more important than spiderman 2016
How to make the audience cry:
1- turn a character into a donut
2- "Are we just gonna leave him here, Bucciarati?!?"
3- watch the fans cry
I had tears in my eyes whole time watching Jojo
Not because I was sad but instead because I was yawning of boredom

just thinking about the green mile is enough to make me cry.
My name is John cofee like the drink but spelled differently
Me and my family watched interstellar and we all thought it would be a fun adventure movie but god damn that was something
I didn't even watch the whole damn montage and I still dropped a tear when he was sitting alone in with the balloon.
I assumed that Carl and Ellie had a miscarriage. It makes more sense as to why they never have another child.
I think he meant that too, but actually, when I first saw the movie, I thought Ellie was unable to give birth.
garner montgomery I believe they were refering to Ellie being infertile-- miscarridges happen pretty often.
garner montgomery I always thought she was infertile.
It might be that the first miscarriage made them look deeper and discover an issue with her body that makes it impossible to carry an infant to term.
I'm pretty sure she had the same issue that Marilyn Monroe did, like endometriosis or her ectopic(tube) pregnancy were there would have been no saving the child. Bc why start setting up a nursery if they weren't getting ready for the baby?
Am i the only one who cries harder at the scene where he finds the book towards the end of the movie, when he thinks he has failed to make the woman he loved happy by giving her the one thing they wanted to do only to discover that in the end she regarded him and the life they shared as her greatest adventure? Because everytime i think about it (including now) i tear up.
Yeah, that got me too :(
I totaly agree. This scene is much deeper and makes me way more sad then the beginning one.
I put my eyes on the thumbnail and started to cry. So yeah, I clicked on it.
Thank you so much for this video! I often watch different movies, some are very good at writing scenes that make the audience feel, some seem like they don't know what they’re going for.
Of course it's hard to put a good fictional character together, even with the bad traits that a normal human being would have, and then, make the audience feel. Put me there side to side with this person, let me hold them and say everything's gonna be fine.
I have the DVD of The Green Mile till today, I watched it with my father when I was a little kid. I remember to cry a lot. The big guy was so nice, and so I was waiting for the nice big guy to be happy in the end, of course, isn’t this the normal way? And so he did not. Man, I could watch this movie thousands of times and I would cry the same way, because the connection that the writers and directors created was so strong that even just looking at the screen, seeing just some parts of their days…
I cried when bubba said he wants to go home and then dies...
Warwick, Your grandma's fear ~....injustice....~
He did go home, heaven was his home
Warwick, Your grandma's fear oh god yes, I didn't even cry when Jenny died or his mom. But that simple plea of a boy turned into a man by war begging to go home to his mom just broke me.
