Movies That Really Touch Me ...

I discovered long ago that my preference for movies did not perpetuate the stereotype of a typical guy having a preference for romantic comedies and love stories *grin* although I do enjoy the odd action film now and then. (This might be my attempt to recover some masculinity).

However, even in the long list of movies that I've seen, I can easily count in one hand the movies that actually moved me to tears. I dont exactly know for sure what kinds of movies will trigger an emotional response, but I guess it has something to do with how well I can relate to the portrayal of the main characters in the movie.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to re-watch "Sepet" in preparation for "Gubra" which I have not had the chance to see yet...*darn* Towards the end of the movie, I realized that I had tears flowing from my eyes which I hadn't even noticed earlier. This struck me as strange as although I was moved during the first few times I saw "Sepet", it still didn't cause me to tear.

Perhaps, something happened between the last time I saw it and last night that caused me to react differently. I shall ponder upon it in the effort to better understand my complex self...

PS: Thanks to Wawa for lending me the "Sepet" DVD. Guess I should get myself another copy as it looks like I wont be getting my DVD back anytime soon. =(
