I just saw Million Dollar Baby...I can't believe how much I cried.

Seriously. I wasn't born yesterday; I'll be 26 (yeah, I know, I'm still a kid) in less than a month.

This post might be dated a bit. But. God. Damn.

I cried and dripped mucous for 45 minutes straight. That's 2 Kleenex pocket tissue packs.

I have never cried this much during a movie; the closed probably being Watership Down when I was 5, 6 or so.

Hell, no relationship has put me through as much emotional turmoil as that goddamn movie.

I'm the type of guy who laughs when a toddler sticks a fork in an electric socket...

Anyone else, besides me, moved by "million Dollar Baby" so much that you want feel like jumping into a deep body of water with cement tied to your feet?

1. I saw it yesterday...

Took me hours to get "over" it!

I can see now why the film won so many oscars. Good movie..relly good.

6. Same here...I couldn't even look my dad in the eye for 45 minutes or so.

See, I was at home (i.e. my parent's) watching it with my mom, who will cry over spilled milk...if there is a dead puppy inside...(yeah, bad simile, I know).

I began snotting and crying from the time Duff (McCullough?) got clocked 'till at least 45 minutes after it was over.

My dad wasn't "interested" in seeing it...I think he was just too much of a wuss to see it through, though he denied knowing the ending (I knew how it ended in advance, just hadn't seen it).

It's kinda funny...last time I saw my dad cry was when I moved out, and I let him express himself; but I couldn't bear my dad seeing me bawling over a movie :blush:

(by the way, I started gushing the most when Clint Easwood explained the English meaning of the fighting name he gave to Hillary Duff)

2. Very moving film

I saw it in the theaters and teared up also.

If you get the chance, and don't mind foreign films, check out "The Sea Inside," which deals with the same issue that MBD does. I was balling in the theater during this movie.

3. It was something, wasn't it? I hate chocking back tears.

4. Yes it was very moving

and I had no idea that that was the ending and was really surprised. It really made you think about what you would do or want done if something like that happened. The photography was great too.
