sad movies, always make me cry

damn... i thought that i was the only person who cried at movies, even though they might not be sad movies.

i admit that i tear at movies that move me.
the scenes where drew barrymore was erasing her memory with adam sandler helping her. then, just before he left, she asked for 1 last first kiss...

notting hill
the scene where julia roberts was asking hugh grant, doing the 'i'm just a girl standing in front of you asking ..."
and the last scene where a pregnant julia was was sitting with hugh on the bench while he was reading a book...

charge of the light brigade
the climatic scene where the light brigade, which consisted of lancers on horses, charged against the turks (i thinks), who had guns and cannons. it was a sucide mission but they still did it. i believe it was this charge that inspired the "cannons to the right and cannons to the left... as they matched into the valley of death" poem. i hope i got that right.

sleepless in seattle
the classic tom hanks speaking to radio presenter scene.
"why do you love your wife so much" (i think it went something like that)
"how much time do you have on your show?"
" ... its like magic....'

10 things i hate about you
when julia stiles was reading her poem about the 10 things she hated about heath ledger (how do you spell his name again?) and how she still love him regardless...


the chinese has a saying "life is like a stage". erh? don't the english have a saying like that too? hmmm...
anyway, that is pretty appropriate for us ain't it? i have lots for stage productions and i am proud of my achievements, no matter how little there are. from acting to backstage works, from directing to script-writting. i have done them all but one of the most satisfying moments will be when the whole play is over and everyone is packing up together. each and everyone knowing that it was a job well done.
i wonder if it would be a hit or a miss if they were to make my whole life into a play? should it be called a black melo-comedic drama?
