What's The Movie That Made You Cry?

What's the movie that made you cry?

i was talking about the movie 1917 and the video essay 'in the moment: a 1917 video essay' by ladyknightthebrave and is like possibly my favourite one ever now. i really recommend watching it if you enjoyed the film!

what made me cry is when they end the essay as such: "i think part of what draws me to this film, aside from y'know, everything, is the contradictions of it. will schofield spends the entire movie trying to fulfil a promise, and he both succeeds and fails. he tries to stop one battle, but there'll be another one tomorrow. he commits acts of desperate heroics that will mean nothing in the grand scheme of things and yet it means everything. he's surrounded by brutality but also so many random acts of kindness, and he responds in kind to all of it. he tries to help two people stranded in the middle of a battlefield, he tries to keep his promise to his dead friend and he tries as hard as he can to stay alive and come home to his family. it's dramatic and desperate and horrifying and beautiful in it's own right. kait rokowski once wrote 'nothing ever ends poetically. it ends and we turn it into poetry. all that blood was never once beautiful. it was just red.' and, after what will goes through, he doesn't get a happy ending. but he gets a gentle one. he gets to sit back against this tree, a reflection of how the movie first began, and he gets to rest. knowing he did what he could. and the rest, well. the rest is just blood and poetry."
