I cried...

I watched this film and it ended around tedn minutes ago.
I started crying half way through and towards the end, I was hysterical.
I am still crying now.
And I don't quite know why.

I have read the book countless times and seen the movie before. But today, it just got me. And I can't stop.

I know that she is just one of so many millions of people. But she went through it all. She witnessed the horrors that were happening and in spite of all that, she still thought, underneath it all, everyone was good.

She inspires me.

Now that it's up on YouTube it's easier for me to cry. Part 30 (when Otto reads the diary), wow, the song and the acting, it just kills me and I cry every time. Although this movie isn't well known I would have to say it may just be my favorite one.

I was wondering if you that cried are all women, or girls? I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm just curious. I'm a man, at 23 I saw it and the last hour of it took me 2 hours because of how hysterically I cried. I cried during the movie Nurumberg, too.

The scene that makes me cry everytime I watch the film is where Anne is seperated from her Dad at Auschwitz, and the way she screams his name is just heart breaking.

This movie is quite emotional. Like you all, the book had no effect on me. The movie on the other hand does.

Yeah I was a wreck by the end. I was bawling my eyes out when they had the captions that explained what happened to everyone after. It is a very emotional book. I think the book didn't have as much of an emotional impact was because it was just from one person's peoint of view, and therefor didn't touch on the emotions of everyone else as much as Anne's. I love the book though, and the film was great.

"The scene that makes me cry everytime I watch the film is where Anne is seperated from her Dad at Auschwitz, and the way she screams his name is just heart breaking."

That scene gets me every time too! That's when I actually start crying. After that i cry off and on.
I think I cry the most at the very end when it shows her on the train and she's looking out the window. Then she turns to the camera and smiles as if to say "Don't worry, I'm all right."
I'm getting a lump in my throat just thinking about it! (i seriously am!)

I am in 8th grade and in English we had a whole unit on the Holocaust. I love to act and about 2 years ago played Ellen Rosen in a stage adaption of the book Number the Stars at my state's biggest theatre, so the Holocaust has always interested me. It's just so touching. Today we watched the 50's version of it, and I have to say it was good, but I didn't cry or anything. Then on YouTube someone made a "preview" for a colored version of the movie, and ohhhh myyyyy goodness. I cried so hard. I am now watching the movie, and hope it will be truly amazing. Actually I know it will be. =)
