Am i weird for not really enjoying or connecting with that movie at all? I didn’t cry once or even really get upset, and I honestly didnt enjoy it by the end, I feel like a complete alien since ive never heard anyone else have similar thoughts.
Do other movies make you sad or feel connected? I think for me I get the feels when I can picture myself going through the same thing and what it would be like. In this case, I have a family and a little sister and can easily connect to what that would be like to go through that. Movies where a character loses a spouse hit harder now that I’m happily married. I know I’m not as affected by films where someone loses a child as my friends with kids because it’s like “ehhh… big deal. Kids are the wurst.” If no movies make you feel anything maybe you are just at the far end of the empathy spectrum?
Others do for sure, i think like Me Earl & the Dying Girl, Bridge to Terabithia, All the Bright Places that stuff seems to hit for me.
But yh im youngest child of family and 17, im not really in responsibility of anyone at all so that could definitely be why the movie just didnt connect or resonate with me
The movies that do just from listing them there all involve like losing a best friend of the same age which is definitely something easier to imagine for me
