Undoubtedly, men cry, too. I am not an exception.
I wrote this text because yesterday (I wrote this text on the 3rd of February, 2022), I listened to the Beatles’ „Abbey Road” album. Quite unexpectedly, tears appeared in my eyes while listening to the „Golden Slumbers” song. I do not know how this happened, but those tears appeared fast and involuntarily. I did not have any influence on them. Paul McCartney’s voice made me think of my beloved Kamilka, my Parents, family, and friends, and about everyone I had the pleasure to get to know and all the rest, including those who had already passed away forever. Within seconds I started to remember past times, and somehow I imagined I would meet all I love and know in Heavens once I die. That’s how my eyes began to be watery.
In one of my previous posts, entitled „Cry,” I wrote that Dire Straits’ song „Romeo and Juliet” also made me cry. In this post from the past, I started to wonder how many works of art are waiting for me to be discovered and which works of art will make me cry again. Well, the „Golden Slumbers” song is one of them. I am proof for myself that, indeed, men also cry.
Which movies made me cry within the past decades?
It wasn’t James Cameron’s „Titanic” movie. I remember as it was yesterday when we went on a school trip from Malkinia Gorna to Warsaw to see „Titanic” in the cinema. It was 1997, and I was twelve years old. I remember that most girls, my classmates, cried after watching the film. One of my best colleagues from that time, Lukasz, and I were laughing at them. „Titanic” did not touch and move me anyhow. Today, while writing this text, I remind tear-jerking of those good old days. Is that mean that I am not happy today? Contrary. I am very content and grateful for everything I experienced. What about the film that made me cry? It was the ending of George Lucas’ 1983’s “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi” movie.
