Anyway, the music at the end of this episode made it an emotional rollor coaster for me. I almost cried. I think I stopped breathing. And the world stopped spinning for a few minutes (at least for me).
Well, here's a list of book scenes that have incited intense emotions in me, be it laughter or crying (Warning: There may be spoilers):
- These is my Words by Nancy E. Turner. One of the end scenes that has to do with Jack. I cried all the moisture out of my body because of it. My nose was dripping snot, too *gross*
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The part where all the toilets are placed on a certain person's front lawn
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver. The super-I-growled-at-the-book-for-at-least-30-minutes cliffhanger ending. Super Grrr!
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: The end of course, but the part where Liesel and Rudy make the food delivery boy's bike slip on the ice and they steal the food. I couldn't stop laughing. At all
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Katniss singing when Rue dies
- Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. The troll farting scene in the first book. I was listening to the audio book while driving and almost had to pull over because I was crying so hard from laughing. Almost peed my pants, too. Oh, you know you want to read this book now, huh?
- The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale. When a certain person dies. I'm not going to spoil this one too much
- Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. Fred and George making their amazing departure when they decided to leave Hogwarts for good. Hilarious with all the magic tricks and fireworks they conjure up
- And of course, when Harry Potter dies (uh...Dobby, too. Probably more so than Harry)
Writing. Jewels.
Powerful scene? Let me think...
ReplyDeleteNancy Thompson's upcoming book, The Mistaken has a really moving scene involving the death of a character.
Haven't watched a really moving film lately.
And I almost cried when Eureka ended two months ago - does that count? (Not really, just bummed to see my favorite show end...)
I've heard Eureka is a good show. It's on my Netflix queue. Thanks for stopping by...it's a day early. Silly me pushing publish before I scheduled it. haha
DeleteI cried at the end of The Scorpio Races the other night. Bawled like a baby, and loved every minute of it. That book is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me about that book. Will have to look into it.
DeleteET, still gets to me. Also, Dancer in the Dark, I was a weeping mess during that movie. And The Hunger Games with Rue got to me as well. But as a whole, I try to avoid emotionally gut wrenching movies or books. However, your Warehouse 13 sounds like something I'd enjoy. Off to check it out! (:
ReplyDeleteYou'll love Warehouse 13. And yes, it is MINE! All mine. *cackles*
DeleteI believe I cried during every Harry Potter book and movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd Rue. So, so sad! I also teared up when Katniss takes the place of her sister as tribute. I have a younger sister, so I could imagine doing the same thing.
I know what you mean ---> if it were one of my nephews or niece, I'd take place of them in a heartbeat.
DeleteI cry every single time I watch ORDINARY PEOPLE and Conrad tells the story about his brother in gasps and sobs. More recently, I laughed aloud several times reading Tawna Fenske's BELIEVE IT OR NOT. Other books draw up wrenching fear in me--like 1984 by George Orwell (*shudder*).
ReplyDelete1984... way creepy and somewhat disturbing too. That book was crazy. I'll have to look into Believe it or Not. Thanks for the recommendation. :D
DeleteThere's many, and I was thinking about doing a post about this same topic. You beat me to it. At the moment my favorite show is Walking Dead, hands down. Lots of emotional moments in that one. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably LOTS of freaky emotional moments in that show. Ones where you'd have to keep the light on when ya go to bed. Eep!
DeleteThe Notebook. I read that when my grandmother had Alzheimer's and I was a wreck. I also got very upset at the end of Delirium. I still haven't read book two because I'm not over it yet. My own books have made me cry too. I swear my characters just take over and I don't always know what's going to happen. They make me laugh out loud and cry my eyes out.
ReplyDeleteWell, book two of Delirium has a cliffhanger ending, too. You may want to wait until the third book is released to read that one. My books do the same thing to me. I remember one scene that HAD to be written that made me burst into tears.
DeleteThe last two things that made me cry were repeats of movies on TV where I knew exactly what was going to happen, but they still had the power to make me well up. "ET" when his glowing red heart stopped shining and "Armageddon" when Bruce sacrifices himself and his daughter's crying. *sniffle*
ReplyDeleteI cry every time I watch the end of "Big Fish" and "A Walk to Remember". Darn those movies being such tear jerkers.
DeleteThat scene in the Hunger Games with Rue killed me, both in the book and movie. And I've seen it three times. lol.
ReplyDeleteI cried reading that scene in the Hunger Games. I didn't when I watched the movie. I think it's because I knew what was gonna happen. I did get a little choked up though.
DeleteSome great examples. That scene with Rue got to me, too. For me, there's a scene at the end of I Don't Want to Kill You (last book in the I Am Not a Serial Killer series) that makes me cry. Funny how such creepy books can still manage to be so inspirational at the same time.
ReplyDeleteCreepy is good and has its own way of bringing out emotion. I need to read those books.
DeleteThe toilet scene in The Help was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThe end/twist of We Need To Talk About Kevin was a wrencher.
An excellent topic. I also thought of "The Actor and the Housewife." Cried like a baby for pages. Another sad one for me is "The Time Traveler's Wife." It has some very emotional stuff, and some about miscarriage, but I did read it when I was pregnant so that may have been most of the reason. Or some.
ReplyDeleteThere were quite a few in the Harry Potter series! And I think the one where Harry died was the least emotional for me. Sirius dying, Dumbledore dying, and definitely Hedwig and Dobby dying! I think the Dobby one was the worst!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love love LOVE Warehouse 13!
