Damn you, Steven Spielberg!
Every time I watch Schindler's List I cry like a freaking baby.


There. I said it.

2. Right after I compose myself following the 'goodbye' scene
I totally lose it again for the procession at Schindler's grave.

There are a bunch of moments throughout the film that do it to me. And I don't even have a personal connection to the Holocaust.


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to crack open another box of Kleenex.

7. It's been awhile since I've seen it. I could only see it once.

So painfully sad because my dad's family is Jewish. I don't know any that died in the Holocaust, but they were pushed around for centuries in Europe just for being Jews.

As a family, we have trouble watching most of those "holocaust movies." Also, we had a close friend who showed us a picture of a large family group of about 50 people and he said they were almost all killed in the holocaust. It gets to me. :( :cry:

3. Try "Sophie's Chice", but I don't think that was Spielberg.

4. I'll cut off my own head before I watch that film

I almost wanted to drive my car off a bridge when I simply heard what it was about; I don't think I could stand to watch it.

5. What kind of movie was that anyways?
No shark, no evil truck, no alien, no T-Rex....the movie sucked. I cried, too, just for different reasons.
