Did anybody else Cry?

I didn't cry. I think this was because I was trying to absorb everything: the locations, the beautiful colors, the music, etc. But, I am going to see it again this weekend, so maybe the tragedy will sink in and I can cry. Sometimes ROTJ still makes me cry.

 

It is a rare occurance if I cry. It did make me pout a bit. When I took my gf to see it, she cried though the whole thing!

 

I was far from crying but i was quite sad when order 66 was executed by darth sidious and all the the jedi were killed. I also think the intro of clocks-Coldplay would have been a good song when the jedi were being killed

 

I started crying when Anakin went to kill the younglins n didn't stop after that. My friend thought I'm crazy

 

I actually cried a little during the final scene, as Obi-Wan hands over Luke to Owen and Beru and the Force theme comes in and we see Owen and Beru looking out against the Tatooine sunset.

John Williams' score, coupled with the brilliant visual link to A New Hope and the scene really showing that hope still lives is just beautiful.

 

First time I saw it, I was shocked more than tearful at a lot of stuff. Remember, I had been non-spoiler. And actually quite horrified at a couple parts - Mace's death and Anakin's injuries/immolation/reconstruction.

The second time, I did get more emotional. Order 66, The Immolation Scene, Padme's funeral...and I did mist up at that damn ending Had to take a few moment to compose myself during the credits before I could leave the cinema.

It's that last hour in particular. When Mace dies, it's all goes downhill and tragic very quickly. That's a real turning point.

 

No I didn't cry, but I was very sad and shocked.

 

outright tears, no. but I was teary eyed in the final moments. the emotions involved were pretty strong in the first viewing. conflicting emotions. sadness and hope at the same time. also joy at knowing how it will all come together in the end, and satisfaction that the whole thing works. the circle is complete.

 

i no its stupid but i have NOclue on how to post a buliten, can u please tell me.

 

No.

 

My mom started crying right after Padme died.

 

I even cried the third time.

 

I did...

 

DarthTrooper-Oh could I relate to your viewing experience!

We saw the first showing of the movie (excluding the midnight) and I took my kids out of school early for 2 reasons.
(1) I couldnt possibly wait a few more hours knowing it was in the theater - bad enough I couldnt go to the midnight showing and

(2) I was hoping that by going to a "middle of a school day" showing that there wouldnt be a lot of kids (my kids, ages 10 and 13 were TOTALLY SILENT - I think with SHOCK-LOL)

Instead I was surrounded by many 5 year olds who kept shouting things like "Mommy, look it's Yoda!!" or "Is that a Wookie?" at the worst times!

Because I'd not allowed one little fragment of "spoiler info." to reach me I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED at some of the things that occurred in this movie (I only knew the obvious......Anakin turns to Darth Vader and something happens to Padme....)I protected myself from knowing anything else & I'm glad I did. However, after seeing it 3 times the first was the most emotional because of that shock.

Sorry you had to deal with much of the same stuff-its hard to block out all the activity around you -some people have no respect at all for those around them in these theaters.

I was a bit "naughty" at the second showing because I wanted to REALLY enjoy the movie without distraction so I brought many sweatshirts & purses and spread them through the back two rows (oddly my Grandma, Grandpa, and my many kids never returned from the concession stand/bathroom) I felt a tad guilty but at least I got to HEAR the whole movie the second time and could get more "into it."

Take Care-

I teared up a little when Luke was dropped off. Seeing the twin sunset again, I don't know, there was something very poetic about that scene.

The second time I saw it, I almost did for the Younglings. The first time I was just angry at Anakin. The second time I knew it was coming. They were hiding and scared and thought they were going to be saved.

Didn't cry for Anakin. He deserved a lot worse than he got.

 

When the Jedi died.

As Anakin was killing the Seperatists. Watch this scene closely, its him screeming in pain for the most part, and when you see his face he's tortured.

When Obi-wan says: "Anakin's the father isn't he?? I'm so sorry."

When Obi-wan tells Anakin he failed him.

When Obi-wan looks at Anakin on the river bank.

When Yoda makes that super sad face when Padme dies.

And when Obi-wan drops off Luke.

 

I sucked it up like a man over three viewings so far, but Order 66 still gets me.

Oh, and stupid japor snippet!

*sniff*

 

I didn't cry, I couldn't, I was to numb the first time I saw it, just wanted to see what would happen next. The next day I was so depresed that I had to watch ANH, but that didn't do it, so I bought Stover's book because I couldn't get to a theater again in five agonizing days. But when I read the book, I cried.
"...Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite stars." That did it for me. I'm sure I will cry when I watch it alone on DVD.

 

I have NEVER cried during a movie before, but came very close during the Order 66 sequence. I saw the movie again with my girlfriend and she started crying at (no joke) the balcony/hairbrush scene. You can imagine what the rest of the movie was like.

Same here.

 

30-something year old dude had a total weepfest next to me on monday when Padme dies and vader rises.

 

I didn't cry in RotS...but it sure gave me chills during certain scenes (younglings) and it made my heart yearn for Anakin to recognize the love Padme had for him.

This film certainly was emotional.

 

My breath was definately taken away on several occasions:

1. Palpatine's face being fried with lightning

2. Order 66 being carried out

3. The solitary sound of Anakin's lightsaber igniting next to the younglings (this one hit me both times I saw the movie).

4. Vader's "I Hate You!" line and the consequental flesh burning scene (both times).

All I could do for these scenes was stare with my eyes and mouth open, and my heart pumping away. They rocked! PS - Padme is so annoying in all 3 films, but this one takes the whining level another notch up; I don't feel sorry for her at all.

 

i didnt cry at all but i felt that i almost did at:

1- when padme says to anakin that he is breaking her heart

2- padme's funeral(the saddest thing here was that she was still holding the jappor snipet,she still loved anakin when she died)

3- the whole "anakin's betrayal" and the dead of all the jedi scene

4- of course on the "you were the chosen one" line.

5- padme's rumination.when anakin has to decide between saving padme or remaining loyal to the jedi council.the single tear on his face...

6- when padme had the twins,she tells obi-wan that there is good in anakin and she dies

7-the younling asking anakin what were they going to do

That's exactly how I felt. Feels good to know somebody else did too.
I think I started to cry the first viewing about the time Anakin cries: What have I done? Falls back and his lightsaber falls to the floor.
In the viewings since then: A. when Anakin's waiting in the Council Room looking out at 500 Republica and Padme's looking back at the Temple.
Who am I kidding, there's no B. It's all downhill from there.
Oh, and kudos to all who have mentioned the soundtrack. It was great before having seen the movie. Now...Just listening to Immolation, Padme's Ruminations and Anakin's Dark Deeds, make me feel so
Thank you George, John, and Stover. The Force Is With You.
