You know that meaningful movies are in trouble when...


...Men in Black 3 makes you cry like you haven't in years.

Seriously... it's so pathetic. I can't remember the last actually meaningful movie (hence me posting this in "Drama") that has touched me that much. Possibly "Crash". Which was about 8 years ago.

The fact that you cried during MIB3 has nothing to do with the state of drama films, all it has to do with is you.

Yes, of course. It's me. Why didn't I think of that? I guess having watched thousands of movies I must have thought that I know a little bit about them. How foolish of me.

If Men in Black makes you cry, that says a lot more about you than it does about movies.

Think about how you would react to me if I made a thread "I just balled like a baby watching the latest episode of Bar Rescue. Why can't scripted shows be this emotional anymore?"

I still find a film or a character who meets a tragic fate that makes me sad. It's about tastes and they can be subjective.
