Why Do Movies Make Us Cry?

Hi There! 

I watched The Fault In Our Stars (Tfios) today for the 3rd time, but today I watched the extended edition. Not much of a difference but there was 7 minutes more of scenes. I didn't really get to sit down and watch it all straight away I had to keep on pausing it to do things. This made my experience of the movie not as good as the first time I watched it. I did get teary eyed at the eulogy reading, as normal. I then got distracted and that emotion left me so when it came to the end I did not shed a tear how I normally do.

In class the other day we were watching War Horse. A girl started to sob (not fully cry but shed tears). I was rather confused and other people were like "How are you not upset he just got shot". Normally I get emotional with deaths in movies but this only tends to happen when I have made an emotional attachment to to the character. I had not had that attachment with the character therefore did not feel the pain.

I feel that for a movie to make you cry, you need to have an attachment with the characters and understand the situations like it was happening in real life. The only way for this to happen is for me to be in an environment where I can deeply watch the movie and have no distractions. I have to know that I can watch the whole thing in one sitting; this is why the movie I watched in class did not make me upset. I knew I wouldn't watch the whole thing, in fact the time I watched the beginning was 4 months ago. All my emotions were just waiting to get to lunch and leave the class, so I was counting down the minutes; this making me get distracted and not indulge the movie. I am not a heartless person I just didn't have the right circumstances to make me feel the pain in the movie.

I say I cry at movies but I tend to just feel all emosh and mushy and wanting a tub of ice cream. The only time I cried for 4 minutes was when I watched the season finale for season 5 of The Vampire Diaries (TVD). I have been watching TVD for about half a year now I am not all caught up yet as season 6 has not come on to Netflix yet but I have seen the first 4 episodes. I watched the season finale about 2 weeks ago. I have made emotional attachments to all the characters and feel some of the pain they do in certain circumstances. But for some the ending of the season finale had me grabbing a tissue. I honestly felt like a wreck. I have no idea why (well I do, Damon and Bonnie didn't make it out of the other side) this made me feel the way it did. I do know that I kinda enjoyed feeling that emotion at the end as I knew that I enjoyed what I was watching and that it was well directed and written to make the audience feel like that.

So another conclusion to why movies make us cry is, the way it is written and directed. To be able to pull on the audiences heart strings and make them cry when the character cries. It is all rather clever and I have to applaud them to have such skill. I mean half of my life troubles barely make me cry so for movies/tv shows to make me cry I do have to give them some appreciation for helping me prove that I am not a robot.

I love watching movies and crying so I am not going to complain!

Diversity

Hi There,

So the other day my friend was nagging me about not writing a blog post in so long. So I simply asked her what do YOU want be to write about (as this blog isn't about making myself happy it is about making other people smile) and she said Equality. Yes equality is a good subject to write about but that is societies view on things and society doesn't think of things in the right mind they judge to much. Therefore I am going to write about Diversity. No not the dance crew! What it means and how it effects people.
         Diversity literally means 'Difference'. To be able to accept people for who they are no matter what race, gender, age or intellect. Honestly diversity is what defines a person; what makes them, them. I am nothing like the person I sit next to in class but I honestly don't want to be. Yeah I am not gonna lie I have flaws and I have weaknesses but isn't that what makes me who I am? I mean yeah my flaws and weaknesses pull back at times but I am human and I have a right to have those. Loads of people can't accept diversity and they think every girl should look like a barbie doll or every boy should be the next Zac Efron. Those people therefore cannot accept themselves. With my hand on my heart I am going to say I am insecure but that is just what makes me different to a person who loves the way they look, again diversity. As you can see diversity is a big thing in every day life it effects people so much it is ridiculous. Please don't be that person that judges peoples every move! As you could be the reason that destroys someones personality.  I guess what I am trying to say it that diversity is a good thing and if you can't accept that then I don't know what you can accept especially as todays generation is about standing out and being different.

Lets Be Honest!

Hi There!

People always ask me for advice yet never question why I don't ask them  for advice! People always fall on me when they have no one else yet never ask who I have! I am always made out to have my life planned out. To know what foot to put in front of the other, but to be honest I don't. I am just like a normal 13 year old girl but I have the ability to tell people things they want to hear to make them happy!
          Have you ever felt lost or confused? If so how much did you need that one person to be by your side? How many times have you cried out for help but never got heard? This has happened to me a lot and I guess most of you who are reading this now!  It is always easier to be there for other people but it seems harder for people to be there for you! I am guessing this is true and you were nodding as you read that! If this is the case stop acting like an amazing friend to that person as they clearly make you feel like you have been put on a shelf and left alone most of the time. Or stand up and yell at the top of your lungs what you have always really been thinking inside! Tell them that they make you feel used and no matter how many times they tell you that you are the bestest friend they ever had, question them. Ask them if it is true why don't you treat me like your other best friends? Why do you only come to be for advice or to fall on? Why are you never there for me when I need you? Don't be afraid to ask them these things because they have answers and you have a right to know the answers.
         I guess what I am trying to say is, you never have to feel like you are a back up because if you do then they that person clearly doesn't respect you well enough. Stand Up. Speak Up.

New Blog

Hi!

I am Tia; well u probably have already guessed that ahahaha. I guess you are wondering what I am going to be blogging about and why I have started to blog!
          Well I am going to start on what I am going to blog about. I am going to tell you all advice on a wide range of things I don't have a lot of experience with life as I haven't been on this planet for long. So I guess we will both get something from this blog as I will learn things from you and you will learn more things from me! I can't tell you what is right and what is wrong but I can tell you how to find the difference yourself. Everyone is different and we all have different approaches on things. I am not gonna go into to detail more about the advice I will be giving you because it won't be a surprise otherwise.
           Now I guess you are wondering how I got here. Well it is nearly 2 in the morning and you know how a teenagers mind works this late/early. I had the thought of how much advice I have given my friends when they need it most. To be honest when people are down they normally come to me as somehow I know what the right thing to say is. I think that if I can help my friends through hard times how many other people can I help?
                              That is why I am writing this blog. I really hope that this blog helps you when you need help and also cheers you up when you are feeling low!


Thank you for stumbling across this blog I promise you it will be the best decision you have ever made.
