Crying Lovers / Mickey Rourke: Three Crying Scenes

**Posted by Squonk** October 21, 2015 12:13 am

Just saw the post with the Mickey Rourke interview and was reminded of both how beautiful he used to be and what an amazing crier he was. Here are three of his best:
"Angel Heart" (seriously intense): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L83UPhQJs0&list=LLmVSCNcqX-HiIiwouIbL1bA&index=53

"Year of the Dragon": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d3MOLSXzdc&list=LLmVSCNcqX-HiIiwouIbL1bA&index=52

"Pope of Greenwich Village": Eric Roberts' crying is showier, but just watch Rourke's pained reactions to his distress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgwJJ3pXvOw&list=LLmVSCNcqX-HiIiwouIbL1bA&index=51

I hope this link works in your country as well. The resolution is very good. It from A Prayer for the Dying

Angel Heart remains one of my favorite movies. He looks so ragged here, unlike his other films from the same period.

He scrunches up his face so beautifullly in these clips.

A compilation of crying scenes. Ican't believe he also cried in Desperate Hours and 9 1/2 weeks .

9 1/2 Weeks? Really? It's been a while since I've seen it--when did he cry in that?

I watched again the other days and it's not actually a crying scene in the general sense but his eyes well up with tears as he feels his sweetheart will break up with him ( this is just in the last part of the film). He starts talking about his parents in order to share some more things about him and for some seconds he feels overwhelmed. The scene is filmed from a far but i find it very powerful, as his eyes are shining with tears and his chin slightly twitches and then he smiles to cover up his emotions. He's very handsome in this film.

The scene i was talking about is very similar with this one, he does that little lip curl too. ..
