SONG #16 = A SONG THAT HAS MADE YOU CRY.


When I first saw this movie, I was so excited and had NO idea how deep and emotional this movie really was. I just saw Disney/Pixar and assumed happy-go-lucky. I was terribly wrong.

This song played within the first 10 minutes of the movie and I was crying my eyes out. Once you get me crying, it's like a never-ending waterworks show, so every single sentimental thing thereafter brought tears to my eyes. This is such an emotional movie for me that even when there were funny parts, it was like I had a pain in my heart for the characters.

I still cry no matter how many times I've seen this movie, which is quite a few times, but this music just tears my heartstrings into tiny pieces. The Totoro theme song always cheers me up after hearing this, so this is like my Kryptonite.

Ergo, if I ever hear any of my immediate friends randomly playing this song, I may either attack them or start crying like a baby. Neither option is better than the other, so play your music wisely :D

I'm sorry, but I had to post the music with the actual scene it correlated with. I'm a glutton for punishment.

I can't wait until I have the Carl to my Ellie. I think I would give up almost anything to have someone that I love, love me as much as he did her, that even after death, he always thought of her, even if that may not be an entirely healthy way to grieve. It's really powerful to see ANY couple withstand so much hardship and still love/dote on each other <3 To me, that's the most beautiful thing about this movie: the aspect of love and dreams.
