which scene made you cry ?
ednbarby:
The first time I saw it, I got misty for the first time at the phone call to Lureen, then teary when Ennis first entered Jack's room, and it was so stark, and I thought, "How could *he* have lived in that room?"
The second time I saw it, I began weeping soundlessly at the beginning of the lake trip, knowing it would be their last time together, and never let up until the credits finished rolling.
Since then, sometimes I'm gripped by it again and start weeping at any number of places, as early as the second tent scene, and as late as Ennis' last line. Other times, I've been able to watch it all the way through and not shed a tear. No matter what, though, I never get over that shot of Jack's face after he's been hit with the tire iron. It makes me gasp out loud and put my hand to my mouth every single time.

The last time I saw the movie in the theater, I started crying at "Nice to know you, Ennis del Mar."
I just thought: Jack, you've got NO IDEA.

LOL, if it's not too offensive to say that about someone crying. You're right, though, nakymaton!
I could cry at any number of scenes in the movie. But just to name a different one from everyone else's picks, I cry at the scene with Ennis in the alley. I feel sooooo sorry for him. He knows he's losing the love of his life but is powerless to do anything about it (and, to make things worse, feels terrible about punching Jack).
The other day, while making a bed and contemplating Ennis' future, I burst into tears and then wondered if I will ever again be sane.
nakymaton:
;D Not offensive at all, Katherine. In fact, I was kind of amused at myself for about a minute while I was leaking tears. (I cry like Ennis cries, not like Cassie cries.)
I've kind of changed from crying at the obviously sad scenes (first time was when Ennis was on the phone with Lureen, and then through to the end) to crying at the happy ones.
I figure that when I start crying when the "Focus Features" logo comes on, maybe I'll pass through to the other side of the movie and will be able to accept it for being beautiful and not feel so obsessed and torn up about it.

"Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it".......I felt Jacks pain in that scene.....cheesy as it sounds...
"I wish I knew how to quit you" scene.....both Heath and Jake had to let it all go in that scene.....tears at your heart...
"Jack, I swear".....just as 'The Wings' picks up.....Ennis buttons up the shirt and looks at the post card.....the combo of Heaths performance, Angs direction and the MUSIC made that scene unforgettable....

100% with you Slayers. Though I never cried, I have a hard time at these three points too.
