Disney did it again. Went and completely traumatized me, again! :laugh:
The plan was to start having a life with my kids, getting out more with them as a family. As I have been so withdrawn for the the past 2 and a half years!
Anyway, went to the cinema with my hubby and kids to see Disney, Inside Out. A film about emotions, the characters in it, were: fear, joy, sadness, disgust and anger! Also showed these emotion characters roaming about in the imagination realm and stuck in the deep subconscious mind of the characters in the film. Don't worry, there will be no spoiler alert for anyone wanting to go and see this film.
Anyway, the film resonated with me as it was about emotions and the deep subconscious and it struck so many bloody nerves. There was me in absolute bits, floods of tears and this blubbering wreck because I understood the complexity of emotions and what they do to us.
Parts of the film went very quiet and my youngest daughter says out loud, very clearly for all to hear in the cinema, " Mum, are you crying?!" hahahaha what an embarrassment in a funny way. . . felt like saying back to her, " Shout louder sweetheart, I don't think the back row heard you!"
Anyway, it was good fun! Needed :smug: But, and this is a big but. . .Disney needs to stop dealing with trauma's and go back to fairytale stuff that is unrealistic and keep me away from reality for a little while! :joyful:
A few other films that in the past have got me crying were:
What about you? Has any films got you so emotional and turned you into a blubbering wreck? Touched a raw nerve with yourself? Triggered off the tears and opened the flood gates?

A few other films that in the past have got me crying were:
- Good Will Hunting (related with this so much due to physical and emotional abuse) " It's not your fault, Will!", " Don't do this to me Sean. Not you!" I think I wailed at this part lol
- Another Disney traumatic experience. . .definitely a pattern here eh? Big Hero 6. . .related with this dealing with grief!
- Armageddon. . . I can watch this many times now without crying, but first time? I was :cry: lol
- Watership Down (old film) Bright eyes :singing: I was very young and it was the first film that got me sobbing watching rabbits die!!!
- Dumbo (yep, another Disney film! Okay, don't watch Disney as you will need therapy after it lol) Especially when the mother was locked up and cradled Dumbo in her trunk (I think I cried because I wanted an attentive mother like that and didn't have one!)
- It wasn't a film, it was a series on UK TV called the Afterlife. It was about a father that lost his little boy. He then meets with this spiritualist medium. He doesn't believe in her spirituality, shows his cynical attitude towards her so much and has no belief in the afterlife. Anyway, it was the very last episode that brought on the :cry: when the moment the lead actor, the father is dying. . .and his moment of believing the afterlife comes when his little boy returns to take his hand and take him home! I swear to God it pulled that hard at my heart strings, I was literally a wreck! :hilarious:
