question


did anyone here cry during the film when they watched it?

When I was Catholic it would have made me cry. Now I find the film too sectarian for that... however for some strange reason I still choke up over Song of Bernadette - maybe that's due to Alfred Newman's timeless score, I don't know...

My mother nearly cried when she heard Sherry Jackson's hysterical "Mama!! Papa!!" when she was brought out of jail.

I cried when the people took out their handkerchiefs to wave to Mary.

I'm all right, I'm alllll right!

I always cry during two scenes:

1. THe Scene where they start singing "Regina Caeli" after the 3rd apparition when the people are waving their handkerchiefs.

2. The second scene that makes me cry is the "miracle" scene where people are saying its the end of the world and Maria Carreira's son let's go of his crutches realizing he is healed and the blind woman says to her husband who tells her its the end of the world and she says, "No....it can't be...I can see! I can see!" and when Hugo looks up after the sun sets back in its place and says "Only the fool sayeth there is no God!"

Beautifully crafted film and one I never tire of watching. I'm excited because I'll be going to Fatima and Lourdes in August!!

I want to go to Lourdes. I just love Bernadette. She's my BFF. Did you like it?

Let's just say that God doesn't believe in me.

I'd like to go to Fatima in 2017...at least that's the plan. If I can't go to Portugal for some reason, I suppose the next best is at the basilica in New York (just 26 miles from Niagara Falls). And you can bet your boots I'd go to Canada if for no reason to say I had lunch in a foreign country.

I'd like to go to Guadalupe in 2031 for the 500th anniversary if possible.

Not sure if I'd make it to Lourdes, I'd be 96 years old. May have to celebrate anniversary elsewhere.

reply

Yes I did

reply

I choke up even though I'm not at all convinced there was a miracle.
