The Shack
I really like Sam Worthington, so I am looking forward to this movie, since I never saw him cry in other movies

Re: The Shack
Wow, if half of the near tears scenes from the trailer end in crying scenes, I am going to need to see that 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 Shack
I watched the whole thing today. There are several moments in the film where he cries, but imo the first one is the best one. Happens at 25:25. You can't see his face because it's buried in his wife's shoulder as she holds him. Very nice pitiful sighing sobs, if you know what I mean. It's hard to describe, but I wish we had more clips of men crying like this.
There are also tears at:
27:35 (brief and offscreen)
40:30
47:00
Octavia Spencer cries a little at 55:00ish
and he cries again, less briefly this time, at 1:49:10

Re: The Shack
Crying on his wife's shoulder. This is my favorite out of all the clips.
Sound only as he sees a crumpled dress--all that's left of his daughter.
Stricken with grief, along where his daughter died, considering suicide.
Pretty close-up shot of a single tear from his eye, with a woman wiping it and putting it into a lachrimatory. (the Holy Spirit is a dac and keeps a lachrimatory--who knew?)
Trying not to sob as he prepares to bury his daughter.

Good Job, Phoebe ! I appreciate your effort for showing us those scenes. I like the last 2 the most, it was a nice surprise to see that he shows his crying skills though a bit left handed, so to say..

Re: The Shack
I recently read the book, it was a very interesting story. These scenes fit so well!

I don't know if it is my computer screen, but I didn't see the tear on the close-up, I saw the young woman wipe his eye and then taking her finger to the vial, nice scene though.
