In reply to the discussion: Who else cries easily over sad movies? [View all]Martin Eden
(12,863 posts)37. The movie doesn't have to be sad
Two scenes in To Kill a Mockingbird really start me flowing:
1. In the courtroom when Atticus to leaving and the black pastor tells Scout to stand (as all the colored folk in the balcony stand) to honor her father for the courageous work he was doing on behalf of one of their own.
2. Towards the end after Boo Radley had saved Jem, when Scout finally sees Boo Radley behind the door in their house and says "Hey, Boo."
Moments of pure joy also bring tears. The scene in Return of the King when Frodo (after destroying the Ring in his heroic quest with Sam) wakes after he's rescued up and sees Gandalf, who he thought was dead.
