Serious question (random poll!): Can you watch the entire thing and not tear up?

**Reincarnate** · 08-16-2012, 04:48 PM

The opening scene from "Up"

Settling a debate here -- and y'all the guinea pigs. (Don't skip around or it ruins the point)

Be honest or else ... or else what? well, i guess nothing, but uh, don't be a jackassss

**One Winged Angel** · 08-16-2012, 04:49 PM

Nope

And I've seen the movie at least five or six times, teared up each and every time

**iironiic** · 08-16-2012, 04:56 PM

I saw this already. Didn't make me cry the first time, but granted, it was emotional and beautiful.

I think if a similar story were to happen to me, I'd probably shed no more than a tear haha :')

EDIT: This made me teary eyed all of the time though.

**kommisar** · 08-16-2012, 05:02 PM

I lose it nearly every time

**25thhour** · 08-16-2012, 05:05 PM

I am nearly emotionless so no.

Trogdor!!!! · 08-16-2012, 05:05 PM

I guess I'll be the first to admit I literately cry every time I watch that.

**foxfire667** · 08-16-2012, 05:12 PM

I wish there were other poll options, it was a very heart breaking and dramatic sequence, but I just can't normally cry for something I know is a show or a movie.

Although I do have to admit I came close to watery eyes during the final scene at the hospital.

There isn't an option that suits my reaction. Somewhere inbetween 2 and 3. It is incredibly depressing and sad but not quite crying over it.

However if it happened to me, you can bet I'd be at number 1.

**samurai7694** · 08-16-2012, 05:28 PM

eyes get watery, though I just stay quiet

"Lump in throat + teary eyes? Check."

**Emanresu13** · 08-16-2012, 05:32 PM

this was my first time watching it, though i read the poll options first... <_<

it was sad, but she was old so whatever

saddest part for me is when they couldn't have kids, if there were more emphasis on that i might've lost it. they seemed to lead happy lives regardless, though.

**Hateandhatred** · 08-16-2012, 05:37 PM

I thought it was heart warming and beautiful. I loved it a lot, but didn't feel sad, just appreciated the art.

I like it · 08-16-2012, 05:38 PM

i got goosebumps and felt sad for them but i didnt tear up or anything

**Artic_counter** · 08-16-2012, 06:18 PM

Mmbuhhuhhuhbuh *sob* wububuhuuu *snort* waauuhhh

**psychoangel691** · 08-16-2012, 06:19 PM

Yea the poll options don't really fit for me either because I didn't tear up but I did feel bad.

**nois-or-e** · 08-16-2012, 06:22 PM

Yes, quite sad. But nothing that broke the old waterworks. //needs another poll option~

top · 08-16-2012, 06:30 PM

i have the sympathy, but no empathy

**Ohaider** · 08-16-2012, 06:32 PM

lul not surprised.

**Emanresu13** · 08-16-2012, 06:33 PM

i have the regret, but no remorse

dunno why it made me think of that

Up's intro is not nearly as tear jerking as the animes Clannad and Toradora. I mean I'm sure it is for others but it didn't strike me as a tearful thing, other than possibly the miscarriage it looked like she had a great life, there wasn't much to really be too sad about to me.

**bballa48** · 08-16-2012, 06:40 PM

Oh God, I lost it when I saw this in theaters. I am so freaking nostalgic when it comes to reflecting on the past, so this killed me.
