Cillian Murphy, 'Red Lights'
When he finds his dear friend and mentor collapsed from a heart attack, and after he receives word that she has died. In the first clip he does the half-shouting, half-crying thing, with a sob dangerously close to coming out. In the second I love how he tries to hold it together before collapsing into sobs on the floor. God seeing a man's shoulders shake from crying makes me want to hug him so much. Plus I'm already wildly attracted to Cillian Murphy and have been since Batman Begins. He's just so beautiful with his eyes and his cheekbones and his lips and I don't know if this makes sense, but also the way he holds his lips.

Re: Cillian Murphy, 'Red Lights'
Very nice! But I wish they wouldn't do the "throws things/overturns furniture before breaking down" as often. Does that really happen all that much in real life?

Thank you abc!
Caircair, I'd just as soon not have the throwing things too, but I'll allow it (in fiction) if it includes crying. I don't know if people do it in real life.

Re: Cillian Murphy, 'Red Lights'
Very nice. I've been watching him for so long in "Peaky Blinders", where he's so self-possessed, this was a great change.
Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears. -- A Tale of Two Cities

Re: Cillian Murphy, 'Red Lights'
And even in Peaky, he has a brief breakdown once. He's such a beautiful crier in general, with his husky voice and glimpses of crumpled face.
