And with that said, let me talk about my history at crying with movies. I cried at Jack Frost, I cried at The Santa Clause, basically I cry a lot at movies, regardless of happy or sad endings. But this blog isn't really measured by my tears, it's measured by the tears of my dad, who barely ever cries, except whenever we bring up this movie he talks about how sad it is.
That's right, the movie that will make my dad cry is 2005's Brokeback Mountain. The reasons why are numerous, but it basically comes down to the fact that this is a typical love story, told from an atypical viewpoint. That's a point that I say needs to be remembered here. Many people look down on this film because it deals with homosexuality and a love scene in a tent, but at it's core it's just a different way to tell the same story.
The thing though that really gets my dad is Gustavo Santaolalla's score. The ending scene of that movie is heartbreaking enough (No Spoilers though, see it yourself), but when you add the beautifully haunting tune "The Wings" into the scene it becomes a weep fest of epic proportions.
Later this week, I be looking at a film that will really make you question ever doing drugs from the brilliant mind behind "Black Swan " and a look at the worse best movie ever made. See you guys later this week right here in The Pop Culture Pizzeria
