did anyone cry - Set It Off (1996) Discussion

[–] zee18 19 years ago

I cried very hard, i've never cried so much over a movie and no movie has never made me become so close to the actors.

I started crying when the song "Missing You" by Tamia & Brandy came up and she started having the memories.

Finished watching 30 minutes ago and the tears are still dropping down

I didnt, but my mother and our friends Pang and Rez BAWLED their eyes out. My mom refuses to ever watch it again because of how much she cried.

First time i watched this film was with my sister and some friends, and even though it brought a tear to my eye i kept it in (Since im a man /flex). But in all honesty, i watched it again by myself some time after that and i let it all out, its such a sad story im not ashamed to admit it made me cry.

I bawled my eyes out during this movie. It made me think of me and my 3 best friends. Not that we live in the projects or rob banks. Just that we have been through sooooooooo much together and just knowing that ne day it could end practically rips my heart out!!! i cried when t.t. died but then stopped because there was nothing they could do for her. But then when cleo realizes that the end is near for her and that she won't go out without a fight i just couldn't stop the tears. then it was sooo sad when stony had to watch frankie get shot. i think at one point i was screaming at my t.v. how that just wasn't right. Then when stony was having her memories the tears kept pouring out!!!! finally i think ten minutes after it ended i finally stopped crying!!!! Jeezus just thinking about it is making me cry!

i thought i was the only one that cried watching that movie! but like everybody else said, i cried when cleo died and when tt died...then i did when it shows when jada pinkett is in the hotel with all the stacks of money on her bed and they show the flash backs of her and her friends back in the day...it showed how powerful money really is. now, all of her best friends are dead over a few stacks of money. man, im bout to cry again =[

Cleo's demise, right from the moment when she lights up a cigarette with that expression of sadness and impotence, totally broke my heart!!!

Yes, I cannot take Cleo's demise, it tears my heart completely apart. And then, it doesn't help that her girl is watching it on tv and the guy (Dre I forget his character's name, Sam? Was it?) that lent them the guns is seeing it on tv. It is the saddest thing ever along with that song that plays. Terrible.

Tears wet my eyes when I viewed the scene Cleo got killed, such a tragic hero.

Good story, good songs, good actors, good acting, good directing, good but sad end.

I saw this On Demand yesterday and I cried almost the whole movie. I cried when Stony's brother was shot and killed and everything that happened towards the end. I was thinking that I would watch some mindless action flick to take my mind off of an emotional day. Turns out that was the worst movie to watch when you are very emotional.

Oh yeah! I sure did cry when T.T,CLEO,and FRANKIE all died! Plus when STONEY was crying at the very end when that song "Missing You" was playing.

I got so angry when the rent-a-cop shot and killed TT and cried when Cleo died and in the end, when Stoney recalls thier friendship. Great movie! Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett-Smith were terrific in it.

I couldn't help overhearing. I had my ear to the door.

I cried when TT died but what was sad about Cleo's death was that she lit that cigarette and started crying and then punched the gas full force..She wasn't going out unless it was like a solider
