Prepare to be shocked. I've never seen either film.

 

[D_Rosalind Mussell]

I love Iron Giant. You must see it, MoT.

 

[B_Nia88]

Ma vie en rose and Boys Don't Cry always make me cry

Thank you. I've never seen either of these movies. I will now.

I'll put it on the 'to watch' list along with Star Wars and virtually every other popular film. :tongue:

watching Hayden Christensen douche up Vader is enough to make anyone cry. :frown1:

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

If Lucas Ranch wasn't surrounded by security droids, I'd go punch George in the nose.

people say i'm cold.
i cry maybe four or five times a year.

What does that make me? A block of ice? I don't think I even cry once a year. Don't like crying.

If you aren't emotionally numb than it is normal for you and that is ok.. We should never compare ourselves to others but love the individual we are.

Definitely not emotionally numb, I just don't do crying. It doesn't solve anything (I know it's not supposed to!) and just makes me feel worse. To be honest, I don't know what to do when people cry. I feel like I should be trying to fix things. I'm fitting pretty neatly into a MALE stereotype here :tongue:.

I would say I'm as equally feminine as I am masculine. Knowing where, when, and how to use and exploit these traits is key.... Not to mention giving you a good balance in life.

I even cry at some commercials it is sad how emotional I get. I don't force myself to cry it just occurs the worse is when I am angry instead of getting mad I cry.

So I hear, dear lady. So I hear.

Really sad to see fairly well written movies directed so badly

Actually, when I feel angry I do come close to crying. My mum is the same. Very frustrating because just when you really want to appear strong, all your energy is going into either crying, or trying not to! Grrrr!

And I would ask: why does it appear weak to cry? Really? And where on earth do people come up with the assumption that crying is a feminine trait? People cry. What's more, all mammals cry. Male/Female - it doesn't matter. It doesn't appear weak to cry. It does appear weak to try to suppress the tears - but even that doesn't appear feminine.

Whilst stereotypes are bad (to me at least) I don't see why it's bad to label men and women as different.

Personally, I don't believe that crying, in and of itself, is weak. However, I am well aware that many people DO see crying as weak. Thus, it isn't something I want to be doing when I need to appear to be strong. Plus it kinda sucks when you can't get your words out in a coherent manner because the tears and runny nose are getting in the way.
