I'm just curious, did anyone actually cry at the end of this movie? I know that i certainly did. I just want to know if anyone else felt that the ending was certainly somewhat pleasing, but more like a bittersweet. I want to hear what people have to say.
shareDid anyone NOT cry? The ending was inevitable and beautiful. The true perfect literary tragedy... back through Dickens 'Tale of Two Cities' and on back to a certain well known cross.
shareI've read through all of the responses now, and I am amazed (and perhaps a little worried about myself) because so many of the responses were from people who saw it when they were children and cried. I was almost 50 when I sat there sobbing at the end...
shareI, too, was almost 50 at the time. I took my daughter, who was 10 or 11. Don't recall if she cried, but I certainly did! Love this movie. Love the story, love the visuals, love Sean Connery's voice/character, and find it very compelling as a "fairy tale" but at the same time a parable about the virtues of honor and integrity, man and "animal".
One could do a whole lot worse than to take a child to see this film, even now. While there is of course some early-on CGI involved, I do not think it detracts at all from the essential storyline. If you can believe in dragons, you can believe in them in any form. If you are really lucky, you can believe in what the dragons represent here and accept that they represent something noble and ageless.
Add one more to the list, the wonderful score always gets me.
Bicentennial Man was another one that got to me.

I am crying every freakin time ;-) I always have, since I was 13 and saw it for the first time ;-)

I first saw it when I was six or seven on a rental VHS. I was completely amazed and obsessed with dragons at the time so I thought the movie was fantastic, but I didn't cry. Years later now that I'm in highschool, I rewatched the movie attempting to relive my childhood. I've moved on and am no longer obsessed with dragons. But man, that movie made me cry like a baby. Fantastic music and characters that you can relate to equals crying.
shareI cried a little but then again its been so long since I've seen the movie. BTW this is my most favorite dragon movie simply because it is the only dragon movie i know of where the dragon is not evil and men are not trying to kill the dragon(s) (well except for the beginning).
Gordan Ramsey told me to go **** myself! But I cant reach!
Yeah, I did. everytime I watch the movie, I cry at the end.
