What is Sophie's Choice?

 

[Disneyland Princess]

I love repeating movies, but there is one I will NEVER see again:

Marley & Me

It was a good movie, but WAY TOO SAD . I had the same breed of dog growing up & I was just devastated by her passing. That movie really hit home for me & I don't think I could put myself through that again

I agree! It was a good movie but it was way to sad for me to watch again.

Requiem for a Dream has got to be the most disturbing and depressing movie I have ever seen. I wanted to shoot myself after watching it.

Shawshank Redemption is another I'd add to my list.

I don't know if I could get through it again either. I was sobbing into the parking lot after that movie ended.

ANOTHER vote for Marley & Me...
In fact, my DD and I just finished watching it about an hour ago and I'm still crying and figured I'd distract myself by coming on Dis....and here it is talking about how sad it is!
I was thinking about how I couldn't sit through it again as I watched it...

Million Dollar Baby.

I don't purposely go to any movie that will make me think or make me cry (I work in health care and I think and cry plenty already), but neither DH nor I had any idea what would happen in this movie. I will stay sad for days after I see a sad movie.

What is Sophie's Choice?

It's a movie about a Holocaust survivor, Sophie. Through flashbacks, you see her experience in the concentration camps- very heart wrenching. The "choice" in the title that Sophie has to make is probably the most awful moment of the movie. It was hard to watch when I was childless, and impossible to watch now that I'm a mother.

For me it was 'Awakenings'. Very good movie but at the end I yelled and threw myself on DH's lap and just sobbed. I've never reacted like that to a movie, thankfully we'd rented it.

Another one was 'Breaker Morant' - an Australian film I think about the Boer War in South Africa. I've never seen people leave a movie theatre so quiet.

Or 'Gallipoli' - a very early Mel Gibson movie, when he was still in Australia.

I'm nerving myself up to see 'Passchendaele' - a Canadian movie about the WWI battle. I just know how it's going to end.

Private Ryan - really, did it have to end that way?

I also stop watching Moulin Rouge right after the big finale, I turn it off before the ultimate end of the movie.

I'm telling you, Miracle at St. Anna has a scene that is nearly as bad.

The Passion of the Christ for me...once was enough.

For me it's "just once" for most movies. The exceptions are Disney movies, comedy classics like Animal House, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings.
