I know I cried at the end of this film, that's for sure. Even though you knew it was unlikely from what we'd seen, that Abby would live but you kept hoping anyway. When she reached out to hold her infant's hand and felt him come back to life...*sob*.
god, i just watched it on sky and i'm in floods of tears. when she's reaching for her baby and she's saying 'i will die for him, i will die for him," it was so sad. and then when michael (gorgeous) biehn is holding the baby next to her and telling her that he's beautiful and that she already knows him i was sobbing my little heart out. somebody pass me a kleenex!
"What's it feel like?" "Death? It's like being on holiday with a group of Germans."
I usually cry during sad flicks,but for some odd reason i didn't at the end .I was quiet surprised actually maybe i wasnt watching it properly,my attention span is pretty short.I cried when i watched "The Notebook" and "Just like heaven" maybe it was diff with the 7th sign cuz it was more a thriller/suspense
If people cry at a like this - maybe they are so sensitive that i cannot understand that level of emotion, or on the flip side - they do not know the meaning of true emotion.
Because this movie ranks really low on any emotional count, according to me
When I first saw this film, I was sat in a room full of people who were playing cards; the room was smoky and they were all talking far too loud. I was desperately trying to listen to the dialogue, and so I was completely tuned into the film. When Abbi gives her life to save her baby, I was so completely over whelmed (I hadn't seen it coming you see - call me naive, but I didn't!) everyone in the room stopped playing cards and wanted to know what was going on, and for a film they had just spent two hours trying to ignore, they were all suddenly very interested in knowing what it was about!!! However, I was so distraught, I couldn't explain it properly, and they had to watch it themselves the next day.
I now have this film on DVD, but I don't watch it because I find it so sad.
This is not gonna' be pretty. We're talkin' violence, strong language, adult content
Great ending definately! I always thought that this movie was underrated. Perhaps it could have been better in some aspects but the suspenseful plotline and atmospheric cinematography makes it stand out. Besides that, I think it is Demi Moore's finest performance ever.
I've seen this film a dozen or so times and I well up with tears,without fail, every time. For me,It's the age old story of the heroic person's self sacifice over evil or injustice. If the story is well told and the acting is exceptional,the flood-gates will open up.In this case,it's both.I also agree that it is one of Demi Moore's best performances.
Her sacrifice was pretty small. Not getting to see her hbubby and kid for decades.
Think about it. Based on everything she'd seen, she knew christian scripture was real, therefore there is an afterlife.
So her dying for her baby wasn't exactly a BIG sacrifice. (She'd have to be a grade-A chicken-sh-t NOT to make it, too.) They'll be reunited in heaven, blah, blah, blah...
I hardly ever cry about a movie. Call me stoic. I never cry in public. After seeing this movie, I remember running the gauntlet of incoming movie attendees, trying not to be noticed because I had been crying so hard.
