The rate at which i have been crying while seeing some overly sad, depressing and emotional series lately is quite alarming and so very much unmanly. The last time i cried while seeing a movie was when i watched TITANIC and this was years ago, afterwards I promised myself to never rewatch it again. I actually enjoyed the movie but then the tears i shed that day were very childish and immature. I remember the warnings i got from a couple of people back then before i saw the movie, the fact that i don’t shed tears while seeing a Hollywood movie made me believe seeing titanic won’t be any much different, little did I know i was deceiving myself…
I was adamant and persistent so i decided to see titanic, I watched titanic for over an hour thirty minute and didn’t share a single drop of tears. The more i approached the end of movie the more i got emotional and started feeling scared for Jack, and just before I knew it I started shedding tears and even had some mucus coming out from my nose…
I will never forget that day in a hurry, I finished crying that way and was wondering if i was the one that shed that much tears. I couldn’t believe it, i had to quickly clean my face before those outside came in to join me and see me crying like a baby after forming a hard guy in front of them. I would have been shamed big time if i had gotten caught by them…
I thought titanic would be the last movie that would make me cry, i can’t count the number of series especially Chinese dramas that has made me cry in the last couple of months unintentionally. Most of those movies always start well and all sweet, i mean the lead actor and actress all start sweet and romantic until trials and tribulations befall them and one of them is forced to sacrifice his or her life for the sake of the other. In some cases both lead characters end of dying tragically, thus making the series void and a waste of time…
I remember this particular Chinese series i saw that made me very angry instead of making me cry. The movie is titled BACK FROM THE BRINK, this particular series had everything I wanted, the action, romance and beautiful characters i have always enjoyed. The beginning was all sweet and challenging, I thought the end would be less chaotic and more interesting than the beginning but then what i saw in the end made me more angry than emotional, I watched the end and it felt like I wasted my time. I didn’t get the end i was expecting…
I have seen countless Chinese series after then and so far non of them has given me a dramatic and extremely sad ending, this is good but then i am starting to doubt this particular Chinese series I’m watching now…
I started watching THE LAST IMMORTAL some days ago, i came across it on my favorite free movie site and read the brief description of it, the brief description was interesting and I immediately started seeing it. The last immortal is a 40 episodes series, i am currently in episode 28 and if i am not mistaken, i have cried over 4 times since i started seeing the series. I can’t even say this is why i cried, I guess the tears is as a result of the challenges the lead characters faced, and at the end one of them had to die…
This particular series has been toying with my human emotions and feelings, i have tried to stop watching it countless times but then my curiosity to see what happens at the end always end up taking me back to it…
In summary, i hope this movie ends well, because the lead characters have suffered more than enough, i believe they deserve a good ending…
If by chance this particular Chinese series doesn’t end well, i will be forced to retire from the Chinese series. I will have to move back to my kdrama…
