    That literally has to be the single saddest 2:30 in any movie ever made.

    Soulless bastard!

    first time I saw Gladiator, the ending made me tear up. but the 2nd time I saw it, nothing.

    Also in the movie "Lucas" when after getting out of the hospital and his first day back at school in walks in and everyone is staring at him, Lucas thinks he's going to start getting bullied again only to find a football team jacket in his locker and they are start cheering for him telling him to put it on, which he does lifting his arms in glory. Damn youtube for not having that scene.

    The last movie that really got me was Seven Pounds, with Will Smith and Rosario Dawson. My wife and I were both just a mess at the end of that one.

    Forrest Gump....multiple times


    "I am not a smart man, but I know what love is"

    When Lt. Dan defends Forrest when she calls him an idiot.

    When Bubba Dies....

    and last but not least........when he finds out he has a son, Tom Hanks when he half asks if hes smart or dumb.....and half breaks down crying....I ****ing lose it. Hes simple, but he was terrified that poor kid was going to have to go through the pain he did growing up. Its ****ing heartbreaking and an amazing performance.

    The scene just before the surgery in 50/50 always gets me. I hope I'm never have to be in that position with either of my kids, and would be a total mess. Saw it in the movies with my wife and we were both balling our eyes out.

    That scene literally destroys that movie for me. It turns the entire movie into a lie. Up until that moment we're lead to believe Forrest is happy being who he is, which is the whole point of the movie. Then, with the choice to make him obviously tortured by the fact his kid could be like him we find out he's not happy with who he is at all.

    I disagree. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gunna get. He does the best with what he has....but he would never wish it on his son.

    Proving he's not happy but is tortured and miserable, which completely destroys everything the movie was trying to say up to that point.

    My issues have been long debated around here and in my family. But if after everything else I've ever posted it took this to make you hate me, then I believe your issues are more severe than mine.

    Why can he not be happy with who he is, and has accepted it, but not want his son or a child to go through it again? Just because he handled it one way, does not mean someone else will. It could break him.

    The movie could be about anything in the world. As it was made however, it is about being happy with who you are and embracing that. Forrest, proves he does neither, because if he had, then he wouldn't be so upset at the thought of his son being like him.

    Its one thing to want your children to be better than you, its quite another to be so upset about the prospect of your kid being like you that you break down for the first time in a life that included ridicule, death of your mom, war and losing the love of your life.

    The movie was about determination, perseverance, compassion, humanity, positivism, and following your dreams. Forrest was happy because it was his nature to be happy and because he had to fight for it, just as its some peoples' nature to look for every reason to be miserable regardless of how great they have it. Gump recognized the cards he was dealt, and rather than boo-hooing through life and using his limitations as an excuse to be lazy and defeated, he fought hard to do the things that NORMAL people do, the things that people born like him usually don't. He wanted to be normal and wanted to be treated like a normal person, just as a paraplegic can be happy with who he is and embrace who he is while also vehemently not wanting his child to be born without legs.

    Forrest fought his entire life to NOT be who he was born as, so why are you surprised that he was upset at the thought of his child being born like him. If Forrest were truly happy with who he was and embraced it, he would've never busted through those rickety leg braces.

    The thought of Forrest having a child provided him a moment of introspection. It allowed him or forced him to pause and recount his life. In doing so, the audience is finally given a peak into his true emotional state which had been hidden thus far. Throughout the movie Gump made everything look easy, as if he were either blessed with a gift of superhuman perseverance or were too simple-minded to realize what was really going on. In the end, however, we come to understand that everything did in fact take an emotional toll on him, that he was aware of his journey, his struggles and stressors, his obstacles overcome, and how much harder he had to work to become who he wanted to be. We realize he wasn't actually a retarded superman.

    Forest didn't fight for his happiness. He waited for it. He never made any attempt to be normal because it was never his motivation. Up until he learns he has a son, his motivations were love of Jenny, doing what he was told and "just run-ing".

    He spent his whole life being exactly who he was. Maybe you're thinking of Rocky.....:tongue2:

    That damn movie pulled on some strings I wasn't prepared for going in. I immediately thought I made the mistake of watching it in a packed house but then the lights came on and just about every guy there was busy wiping his eyes. :lol: That happened with another movie too but it was more like a role-reversal deal where the men were weeping and the women were ones doing the shoulder patting....... but I forget what the hell it was.

    I was probably too young when I saw Yeller. If I were to watch it now I'd get choked up, especially while counting the weeks till I'll have to put my cat to sleep.
