When I cried the first time, it certainly made me emotional.

Watching this the second time, I felt sad and teary eyed, but I didn't cry. But like a few people already mentioned, it showed us they lived happy lives together.

Honestly, I'm a complete rock when it comes to emotions...

Maybe that might change after I finish Clannad, lol

I think a lot of emotions are understandable if you saw the movie. Personally I didn't see it, but had I seen it, I would probably get just as emotional as you. If not, more emotional haha.

I don't find anything animated emotional since I can't really relate to the characters as well as real life scenarios. Usually for any animated clip/movie to be emotional for me, a lot of background must be set beforehand and understood well.

Scenes depicting actual people experiencing something just as beautiful is extremely emotional for me possibly because it is physically realistic in some sense. Also, a lot of times, these things don't happen in one's average life, but every once in a while, seeing someone in real life experiencing something remarkable is so inspiring and beautiful. I tend to respond to this with teary eyes in cases like this.

in all honesty, i was more like a "well damn, thats gotta suck" type of emotion. I was going through a separation from my wife when i saw this the 1st time so i had no emotion at all. Now if you would have put up the scene from the lion king where mufasa died, id lost big time

Didn't cry, although I feel like the next time I'll cry is when my mom passes away. I have'nt cried since I was 12 or something rofl.

Nothing. No emotion on the Up thing.

For the video with the Korean guy who was previously homeless, I had a bit of a smile, but no tears or anything.

Only time I really cry is at funerals.

There are very very personal reasons why I didn't even feel bad at this at all, and I'm not going to bother getting into that. I'd offend too many people.

I don't think personal reasons would offend anyone, else it's something like "it's just a fucen movie lol get over it ya wimpmatron 3000s"

Choofre's on to something ya wimpmatron 3000s

i suspect Dossar has already experienced the loss of an elderly wife, so he has a "been there done that" attitude toward it

I felt close to nothing emotionally but I was sympathetic and compassionate for his loss and all of the time he spent with her and how happy his life was. He lived a happy life with his wife and they got old. He's lucky.

All I can really do is smile through the harder times they come to solve later on. Teary eyed? Not really. Watched this movie quite a lot and the intro always keeps me clinging on to watching it haha.

Not even close to crying-- it made me feel a little upset when I tried to relate my own experience with the character's, especially when seeing the lady in the hospital bed reminded me of my grandma who will spend the rest of her days in one <__> and the thought of whats to come in my life (perhaps, obviously just a possibility). But not enough to give more than a mildly intoxicating wave of sadness glowing for the next few minutes.

I'm not sure anything's gotten to me more than this tiny game. Download's in this first link for you to play.
http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/passage/

But you can watch a youtube video here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3o0HFXPfco

Way better if you play it yourself a few times.
