The Normal Heart
There are LOTS of tears in this powerful movie. Mostly Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer, but it seems almost everyone gets at least teary at some point. Excellent, heartbreaking film. (No YouTube clips yet.)

Re: The Normal Heart
Thanks for posting! I just saw the film and there really is a lot of crying.
Have you seen the film "behind the red door"? It is about HIV as well and there ist a nice crying scene with Kiefer Sutherland. He is sitting on the bed tries to convince his sister to help him, because he has HIV and he remembers the death of his friend, where some strangers nursed him and not the family.

Re: The Normal Heart
matt and mark do some great work in that movie. it was nice to see matt bomer cry. we dont get that on white collar. i also loved jim parsons character who also cries. very moving movie.
"...men do not cry. They will do anything BUT cry. They stop themselves crying. And eventually they do cry if it is bad enough. So that's how you know with a man how bad it is for him. Because he would've stopped himself...Men always cry like that. They don't cry and in the end they do and if they do then it's overwhelming." ~Michael Caine

Re: The Normal Heart
I saw Matt Bomer in American Horror Story: Freak Show. (I'm obsessed with AHS and talk about it a lot, haha.) He had a very small part and didn't cry (tbh he doesn't really do it for me anyway). Isn't Finn Wittrock in The Normal Heart as well? He's in Freak Show and while he's not my usual type, he's rather hot! His cry scenes are very pretty, especially since he's privileged/psycho, two things that make teary scenes sweeter for me.
I'm not sure I want to see The Normal Heart, though. I avoid very sad things because I have a mental block and can't really cry, so instead I just get awfully depressed by them. I get stomach pains and stuff for days after. It's not fun.

Re: The Normal Heart
Wellcome Super-Secret!
Finn Wittrock playes Albert, can't really tell you, if he has a crying scene in the normal heart because I was more focussed on Bomer and Ruffalo (he dies), but there are youtube scenes now from the film in the video section

Re: The Normal Heart
I'll have to check those out! And thanks for the welcome.
Sure got my fill of FW crying on AHS Wednesday night, though! It was gorgeous. Le sigh.
