While it may be too sentimental or conscious in its machinations for many of you, I cried for two hours straight during The Tale of Benjamin Button. Two hours. It was exhausting.
Oh crap. The only movie I ever did that with was Dancers in the Dark - and I SOBBED for pretty much the entire thing. I was totally wrung out and exhausted at the end.
It's really fantastic, but I was having trouble breathing by the end because I was trying so hard to cry quietly. The movie might, however, be harder on me than other people because there are several things that happen that I have a different sense of experience of. Basically once Tilda Swinton's character comes on screen, I cried the entire time.
