I can watch ANY movie or hear about ANYTHING in person and not shed a tear or be moved emotionally. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about it, saying I'd probably be more relieved if I could find the capacity to cry about stuff. I know a lot of guys are like this anyway, but it's been years and I was starting to become a little concerned.
I saw "12 Years a Slave" a while back and my boy said that he couldn't contain himself at the end..."Cried like a baby, breh."
....and that was understandable to me. I watched it and thought, "This is sad as fukk and I know this," but that's as far as I could go with it. Same with "Fruitvale Station." I was just like, "Damn...that's REALLY sad."
No tears though. I think the only live-action movie that's gotten me there was "The Green Mile" when I was a kid.
However, the only movies that have moved me CLOSE to wanting to shed a tear as an adult:
This is almost the same scene, but when I was younger, it almost got me.
I can watch these over and still have to reel it in a little.
Is it that Pixar and animated movies do a better job at making you feel for the characters or is it just harder to sympathize with people b/c I've been desensitized? Is anybody else here like that or does anyone know people with similar traits?
