I’m a Man That Cries (and That’s Okay)

Is it just me or do you cry at random parts of the movie when no one else is? And everyone looks at you like you’re super weird?

I’ve realized that about myself recently when watching movies. And no one knows how to make people cry like they do at Pixar. Those people really know how to get to ya. It’s almost like they have a formula down or something.

I watched Coco recently and anyone who’ve seen it knows the scene I’m talking about. I won’t spoil it, but it’s that part with the grandmother, right? And the kid, and the song?? I’m tearing up just thinking about it. That’s normal.

Weird people like me actually cried when the aunt accidentally ended up on stage and sang for the first time in a long time. I was balling.

Why? Well, I don’t know. To be honest, I’m writing this to see who out there might also have their emotions out of whack. If not that movie, or show, or book, or real life scenario, was there a moment where you got emotional at different times than everyone else?

We Cry For Beauty

My guess is that we get inspired by beauty. We’re the people who get excited to see people living out to their fullest, to do something that they’re good at and have always wanted to do, but were held back by something else.
