Which part made you cry? *SPOILERS*



If you did, which part makes you cry?

For me, it was when the six St. Anthony's boys pick up John's coffin, and are all trying to hold back tears. So sad...

Any others?

May'07- Mullroy and Murtogg are BACK!
Captain Jack Attacks(Even tho noone missed him)

Yep where they're walking with the coffin and 'with or without you' is playing. And when Josie is wondering about the sheets, whether they'll throw them away or scrub them until they're clean and sleep on them every night.
... And John's letter.

The whole With Or Without You scene kills me...even more so since my dear friend committed suicide last year.

Go take a step outside - see what's shaking in the real world.

The whole funeral scene to me is over-rated as an emotional aspect. Its a funeral. Easy tear-jerker. Its SUPPOSED to make you cry. I think its the more nuanced scenes in the story that show the emotion. For example, For me it was the scene just before the end where her father says if he goes to Adelaide, she can come and visit and she says if he stays, she'll visit him everyday. The catch of the sob in his voice as he goes to hug her. Far more emotional and note-worthy to me.
