Oddly enough, I don't like child crying scenes.  Too close to real life for me.

It's not odd, caircair. I don't like child crying scenes either. It reminds me to real life too much
 

I usually don't either but this one, I guess because he had an amazing maturity about him, and 2 the whole movie was surreal kinda anyway......he was 14 or so there. I wouldn't be interested in little kids though.reminds me to much of my kids.

He did make me jealous though.how does a14 year old not only cry on cue but adjust the intensity as needed and I can't do anything?

Inmyarms... I can feel your frustration coming through your posts, and I sympathize with you, because I have my own frustrations as well.  Not the same as yours (I cry enough), but I don't see nearly enough vulnerability from the men in my life and it's frustrating.  The solution for me is to try to meet more people rather than try to change the people I already know (because, wish as I might, I can't "change" other people!), but for you, the good news is that the work can come from within -- you can work to change yourself!!  Only if you want to, that is.  Have you ever talked to a counsellor about your general inability to cry when you want to cry?  If so, just curious what advice they might have given.

The Glass House, Joy Ride and Joan of Arc, take your pick! It's possible there are other examples but those are the one's I'm aware of

Yeah you answered this question in one of the 1st posts in this thread sorry. Im trying to get a screen cap but no luck. My phone is the only thing I can use with the internet on otherwise I would download the movie.

I just wanted to bring up that I was watching Law & Order today and I saw Mariska Hargitay (Det. Olivia Benson) in a great crying scene. She excused herself into the interrogation room and sobbed pretty hard and then she had a single tear come down. Breathtaking scene imo.


EDIT: I found the clip on YouTube, great scene. I recommend watching the whole clips to understand the cry but if you want to cut to the chase it starts 2:26
