I can't remember the last time a film affected me the way this one did. I don't normally cry during a movie tears have welled up before certainly: during Schindler's List, Toy Story 3, Saving Private Ryan, etc. but I was on the verge of sobbing by the end of this. Boy, did this movie hit me hard in a way I was not expecting. I'm a young guy by the way - I suppose I feel like there have been one or two women in my life who I legitimately fell in love with after not knowing them for very long only to have them exit my life and haven't seen since. This movie is now an instant favorite.

The more you live, the more things you'll lose.
It's been 35 years since I lost the first girl I truly loved, over typically stupid and "teenage" reasons. She hurt me terribly, and I hurt her back by refusing to talk to her.
I saw her a few years later, but she only seemed to want to remember the last part of what happened and not the first.
I never saw her or spoke to her again after that. Yet there's still a part of my heart that will always belong to her.

A little late to the discussion, but no one should have to defend their taste in music or film. Many individuals like various genres, nothing wrong with a well rounded life!

Schindler's List is garbage? Wow. No accounting for taste, or lack thereof, I guess.

"If you insist on expressing yourself in such a coarse manner bla bla bla"
My language was not nearly coarse enough for someone who thinks that those three pieces of mindless and politically corrected pieces of Hollywood garbage are "masterpieces".

The only jerk on this thread is you. Your parents not teaching you proper discourse is no excuse for bad manners. If you insist on expressing yourself in such a coarse manner, then go to less cultured film sites where your behaviour is more appropriate and you will be more comfortable with like minded persons.
In all seriousness, do not have children until you learn how to better express yourself. What an appalling character.
To the OP: you do not need to qualify yourself to a person of low fibre.

Saving Private Ryan is not a perfect film, but it does pack a wallop. I happen to think the other two are masterpieces as well.
So I'm a jerk for enjoying more recent, popular movies? What an awful person I must be for not solely handpicking movies from a bygone era to celebrate And I wasn't "comparing" them to Brief Encounter, I was only giving examples of other (completely different) films that packed an emotional punch for me personally. Explain to me how they're trash.

"Schindler's List, Toy Story 3, Saving Private Ryan"
The jerk compares worthless trash like those three with this masterpiece!
