I'm officially bawling my eyes out - Just watched "Sophie's Choice"

[LynneSin]

It's an amazing movie (I have seen it several times) but in the end it leaves even the strongest person bawling their eyes out.

1. remarkable, poignant - the soundtrack - the acting - and yes, the story...

The Color Purple is another that leaves me a complete mess (and grateful for it...always good to get emotional calisthenics!)

2. I wanted to cry when the ex made me sit thru "The Bridges of Madison County"

3. As much as you cried when the Eagles lost thatt Super Bowl?

4. what were the choices & what did she choose? n/t

[Skittles]

5. .....

during the Holocaust she was ordered to "choose" which one of her children she could keep (the other one would die) - of course, they would both die anyways

6. yeah...that's probably why i never saw that movie...

i can't handle heavy storylines like that

i remember the first movie i went to see after i had my daughter was a poor selection made by the friend i went with--it was a meryl streep movie--a cry in the dark.

omg! i didn't know a thing about it. and it was so very disturbing to me. my daughter was 8 months old and i was so freaked out i had to call home to check on her after the show. we went out after the show but all i could think of was getting back home. it was a terrible, emotional experience.

yeah--there are some movies where i just can't go.

8. I recall the one time I saw it… twas enough for me...

I understand that the book got into so much twisted detail of the relationship she had, which my ex-sister-in-law was like to read. Personally, I can't go there, reading-wise and once was enough for me to do exactly as you have, LynneSin.
