One of the most powerful films I have seen all year, I was on the verge of crying.

Gamma_Winstead · 11-23-2008, 02:27 AM

I'll have to check it out. Haven't seen any real tear jerkers this year.

A link to a trailer would have been appreciated.
I hate sad movies, they make me sad, but somehow I must see them

on the field of sad movies, how would you rate it compared to "El Laberinto del Fauno" (Pan's Labyrinth) ?

Pan's labyrinth was sad but not as sad as say..the pianist , at least for me.

agreed, i don't think pan's labyrinth classifies as a depressing/sad movie. something like requiem for a dream or Schindler's list comes to mind.

I can't wait for the day requiem comes out on blu!! I love the movie even if it is horribly depressing.

I did not think Pans Labyrinth was sad at all

Certainly a very moving movie.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: A innocent and sad look at a hard reality from the view point of children. Excellent film with a ending that will stay with me for a good while.

brett_day · 11-24-2008, 12:18 AM

i have never heard of this movie...when was it released?

It started its US limited release Nov 7th and has been expanding now for the last few weeks. It just hit my local Indy theater this week.

I've heard Sophie's Choice is a hard one to watch too. I hate tearjerkers! They make me look like a girly man in front of my wife!

Moefiz · 10-11-2009, 02:17 AM

I finally got a chance to see this movie tonight and I must say its a very powerful film when the screen fades to black before the end credits roll, you will be left speechless.
A very well made movie.Highly recommended.

Miramax get this out on Blu ASAP...

Completely agree. It is an incredible movie that has stuck with me since I saw it at the beginning of the year. Yes, it is manipulative, but it is extremely effective.
