So, you know, we all have movies that we know and love and not just emotional support movies which I've kind of discussed before, but more in the sense of movie scenes that we react to emotionally every time or as I like to call kind of an emotional gut punch. Gets us in the fields, crying, emotional, what have you. But it connects with us

Good evening. So this is a great question, especially for a person like myself who loves movies. I could really go on and on and on about Theo movies that definitely pull me in each and every time I watch them. Some that I just really swell boohoo. Because I think the acting was so good. Just because the story itself is just so amazing. It just really gets and pulls and tugs at my heartstrings. I am a lover of all films

My kids were real small at the time, and I remember looking around the theater going, this is a kids movie, right? This is for kiddos, for young ins. Because the kids are kind of like, oh, it feels heavy to them. And the adults are like, Me too. Me especially. Tears. And just like, whoa, what's happening? Like, this is up. They make action figures and toys and video games, and we start with this

I love that it's a lot of stories, and I'm just glad that we have that for that escape, for that ability to be able to tap in. So thank you so much for your post, and I am definitely going to revisit some great films again, probably this weekend, because that's all I do when I have time. The movies will just be playing in the backdrop, and I'm like, oh, look at that. Remember that. So thanks for making me remember

And so for me, the scene that comes to mind that I don't necessarily cry, but I get really quiet and swell and reflective on it, which is the scene where his mother and father are arguing and his father, who is portrayed as this rough character, his father, winds up trying to attempt suicide. And it just makes me think about my father, just how he was often more often misunderstood and how he really tried his best

And it was very difficult to be around in some cases because I guess they were just under the thought process or what have you, where they felt maybe nobody else wanted them, so they had to be with each other. It was just so weird in a lot of cases. And I think both my parents had kind of a relationship to play off of us as children. And it's always tricky when you have that kind of setting because I think two things happen, I think

Movies, TV. Great. That movies, TV rough in some ways, but that movies, TV great. And I love when people mention movies that people knew existed but didn't necessarily watch or connect to because two things happen. One, it's like, oh, God, somebody saw that, too. It wasn't just me and the other ten people who may have seen it

There are some very loving, kind people who are also funny out there who are selfless and who are just willing to help others just for theo sake of helping them. It's not for money, it's not for any kind of award. It's just pure selfless love. And the fact that this movie portrays it between two guys, two straight guys, by the way, that's really awesome. I loved it. I could watch this movie anytime, anywhere and then just feel good
Hey, Theo, man. Oh, God. The list here is long. Very long. But when I saw Theo question that you were asking, the first thing that came to mind was Theo ending of Big Fish. Tim Burton's big Fish, which to this day, I mean, you want to get me to weep like a baby, that is a movie you just throw on

And eventually he releases that when he sees his child, because deep down he is aware of his weakness or disability or that he's different. And he asks her if he is like him and she says, no, he's perfectly fine. And he goes to school and and all that. That scene, it always makes me cry. And it's one of my all time favorite films, so yeah. Thank you for listening

But there was also that wait, that's Tim Burton, you know, being a little more, I guess you could say streamlined, not necessarily commercial. But, you know, it is a very sweet, poignant story. And it does have all these great oddities. And when you do watch it, it is very much a Tim Burton film. Absolutely. And the end of that movie, I mean, a lot of that movie gets me
So for a quick recap, and I'm sorry for the spoilers if anyone plan to watch it, the movie itself is essentially about Optimus Prime forgetting who he is. He sort of gets brainwashed and becomes a bad guy. And this is pretty huge if you know the franchise, because Optimus Prime represents everything that is good, everything that is righteous. There's a moral code which he abides by. And so for him to suddenly become the bad guys is kind of a huge pivot from his character

So I unfortunately didn't it's not that I didn't want to see it. It's just it had that kind of oh, another one. And I love I adore Anthony Hopkins and I know he's in it. So it's one of those things where I definitely got to revisit it now, especially Theo impact that it's made on you. But I love the fact that it connects one thing that's big for me, and obviously this movie connected for you

I actually saw it for the first time when I was on a deployment and I was flabbergasted as to just how well crafted it is. And the two leads are fantastic, obviously, like I said, Omarc, but it was one of those movies where you're just wow, like there's and I think you said it best, it's like, wow, there's there's some hope for us

But then once you watch the entire thing and then you watch that scene again, it hits you hard. It is a plethora of emotions. It is joy. It is not knowing what's going to happen. It is a little bit of sadness. It's a lot of emotions. And that's what I loved about that scene. And it's also funny. This is what I love about theo movie

For me, that scene is going to be from the movie Harold and Maud. Hal Ashby's romance between Harold, a 19 year old, played by Bud Court, and Maud, played by Ruth Gordon, and who's 79. And this absurd romance fable gets me every time on Mon's 80th birthday and the news that she drops to herald. And then what follows is a montage that jumps back and forth in time
@NextLevelNothin · 1:28
But now, if I go to the theater and I don't really care who I'm with, I will cry my eyes out. That scene is so heart touching. It is so well crafted. Oh, man, that Alfred and Bruce Wayne combination was great. I like the new one, too. I like it all theo Alfred, Bruce Wayne combinations are good. I like
