Why? It's one of THE most realistic war movies ever made. I listed that movie because I was a U.S. Army Infantryman who was, in fact, assigned to 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry Regiment (2/7 Cav), the same unit who portrayed in We Were Soldiers, and am VERY, VERY proud to have been in that unit. Why didnt you like the movie? How can you NOT cry, or even get emotional?
The Green Mile. So sad watching the human teddy bear 'John Coffee' cry. I was also crying a river when watching [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Mr. Jingles get squashed, and then seeing Eduard get executed.
One flew over the cookoo's nest. (sort of a proud cry? So many emotions to feel at the end, I did a combination of a cry/cheer.)
Million Dollar Baby
Crash ([SPOILER - highlight to read]: Magic Cloak scene)
The Last samurai. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Katsumoto's Death
I'd also like to mention in 'Reservoir Dogs' that I get emotional every time I see Mr. White talking to Mr. Orange when Mr. Orange is wounded. It's very hard to take in, especially when the movie has grown on you.
i didnt like it from a movie point of view rather than a realism point of view
i quite frankly think they didnt need to add the women's side of the war when they delivered the notices to the other war wives...while it may have happened it just seemed far to trite and desperate
the scene with the asian guy being napalmed by mistake was amazingly done though
the acting war dire...the only exception being sam elliott as Basil Plumley
i also think that while other war movies may not have been accurate...they portray the emotion in film far better than we were soldiers
i will say this though...the book "we were solider once, and young" was brilliant
examples being
come and see
band of brothers
the killing fields
das boot
Gender: Male Location: Welfare Kingdom of California
Schindler's list.
The Pianist did got me all emotional. But Schindlers list is the only film that made cry. Great movie and it is among my top 10 favorite films of all time.
yeah really.Lets see how funny she finds it then.When people say things like that its because they have been brought up by parents that dont know the difference between right and wrong.Her parents have done a horrible job of raising her.Her parents are the ones to blame for the way she is.

Yes, you want to know why? Because it's a MOVIE. Last time I checked, movies were filled with ACTORS. If it were real footage it would be another story.
