I’m asking as I’m trying to understand empathy and whether it’s normal to get so invested in fake characters, I mean it’s probably a testament to the writers but I overthink… a lot.

This question was bright on as I’ve been catching up on The Blacklist and at lunch today watching Season 8 Episode name “Anne “ and it wrecked me.

Tap for spoilerBasically the main character Red has to live a guarded life and for once he let it form and got close to Anne and you could tell shit was going to go downhill and it destroyed me when you think about it from his or her perspective.

For reference I’m 41 year old dude, not that it matters.

Edit: Bedtime for me but back tomorrow to reply to all.

Edit 2: I’ve got 41 comments to respond to. Currently working but I’ll be back y’all.

Guess it is too hard to pick a single scene from "Grave of the Fireflies"? That movie is basically an emotional gut punch from start to finish.

Damn, UP nearly killed me! I mean, he loses Elli (yes, i know that name and it made it hit doubly hard) AND the dog?

(Also, there seems to be an updog joke hidden somewhere in here, but I can't seem to find it.)

Aww man I’ve only seen one of these and I’m not even sure what 1 and 2 are from, but The Green Mile is another one I’ve sobbed my eyes out too.

We saying I need to watch The Lion King, Bambi?, and whatever the other two are.

I’ve been watching slot of movies recently as never really was a movie guy so I’ll add these to my perfectly legal media server.

The movie "Up" and "Harold and Maude".
