Bent TV: The Film Whisperers – Saj, Alice – Films That Make You Cry

28 minutes

One of the more curious things that films do, is they can make us cry, sometimes on purpose, sometimes by ambush, and sometimes we go looking for it. This week Saj and Alice work through why we seek out the cry, what triggers it, why animated films can catch us with our guard down, and why some seek sad films out while others swerve by them entirely.

Saj and Alice briefly touch on a mixture of film and animation, including;

All of Us Strangers, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones Mad About the Boy, Crush, Hamnet,  Inside Out, Land Before Time, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, My Sister’s Keeper, Paddington, Soul, Steel Magnolias, The Land Before Time, The Lion King, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Up, and Wall-E.
