Film/TZ/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The ending of the Chinese film ''[[Wait 'til You're Older]]''. The child protagonist Kwong, wanting to grow up, takes an aging potion. However, [[Be Careful What You Wish For|it backfires horribly]] and he finds out that he only has a few days to live before dying of old age. Realizing he has no time left, he makes amends to his father and stepmother, whom he hated before, and finally accepts her as his second mother. The film ends on a [[Bittersweet Ending|bittersweet note]] with an aged Kwong resting in his stepmother's arms before his inevitable death. There was not a single dry eye in the theatre.

** He really should have known that [[Growing Up Sucks]].

* ''[[WALL-E]]'': WALL-E is severely damaged by Auto closing the holo-detecor on him. After the Axiom returns to Earth, EVE frantically flies back to WALL-E's home to repair and re-energize him. {{spoiler|She's successful, but WALL-E does not recognize EVE, as it seems as if his memory banks were erased. He reverts back to his original programming and starts compacting trash. EVE tries to jog his memory back by showing off the random objects that WALL-E has collected but to no avail. Believing that he's "gone", a heartbroken EVE grasps his hand and gives him a farewell kiss. As EVE lets go of WALL-E's hand, he doesn't let go..and [[He's Back]].}} It ended happily, but if you weren't at least trying to hold back tears before the end...you have no soul.

* ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'': the flashback leading up to Jon's disintegration. And {{spoiler|Rorschach's death}}, obviously.
