An example of “you don’t need to empathize with a character to be sad when they die” that I couldn’t help but think of during this was Walter White. He became a horrible person, and barely anyone in the audience could empathize for him, yet it was still very sad to watch when he died

[@zeej80]

It’s a masterpiece at a redemption arc!

[@xavierwhitcraft1310]

@@zeej80 i wouldnt say redemption. Walter just rights his wrongs with Jesse and cleans up everything connected to him. Him dying is him being victorious in never being caught and having lived his life to the fullest in the short time he had left.

[@ah-sh9dw]

I had a different experience with breaking bad. Empathize means to understand someone's feelings, Walter might have made some horrible decisions and was straight up evil towards the end but he was also well fleshed out, his motivations made sense, we could see how everything effected him, and I still found him easy to empathize with. If I dont have that kind of connection to character and the show wants me to feel sad then it better have some damn good music

[@aidensudeyko183]

That makes my heart break

[@CoryTheCorsterCory]

"A confused viewer, is never going to cry" Totally agree, when I was a child and saw Up for the first time, I didn't understand how devastating the loss of a baby is, that the funeral of Ellie was indeed her funeral (I thought that Karl wanted to re-visit the place where he got married or smth) and those two key elements to make sadness totally failed me, I learned too late what meant what so I think I'll never cry to that scene again unless I want to, damn it

[@mintyhippo8125]

In Up when Carl notices that Ellie filled out the rest of the adventure book with their life together makes me cry, too. The contrast of Carl feeling like he failed Ellie then him finding out that Ellie didn’t feel like they failed at all is so cute and loving. More moving than sad, but still makes me cry.

[@joserios4409]

I felt like this scene was hugely overshadowed by the audience for a long time now. This scene feels incredibly emotional because the audience saw how broken and desolate Carl was after the passing of Ellie. Him being a cheerful and happy young person at the beginning of the montage only to turn into a lonely and depressed old man by the end. Throughout the movie Carl does everything to honor Ellie, like choosing to save their house over saving Kevin despite Russell's urgent pleas, because he feels that he failed Ellie on accomplishing their trip to Paradise Falls. To especially point out that Carl kept avoiding to look at the adventure book after her death at first, and be finally strong enough to open the book and realize how in Ellie's perspective, she was happy and accomplished with her life. And Ellie's message for Carl to move one and start his own adventures was what I believe started to steer him to a more happy and determined direction about saving Russell and Kevin. It's one of my favorite scenes in Pixar.

[@jeremynikijuluwstanevil7551]

​@@joserios4409 I agree wholeheartedly with you

[@linkfan160]

I agree, that scene makes me more emotional than the beginning, actually.

[@lavendertease]

That part had my husband sobbing

[@sieteocho]

I don't agree with henryboseley / Closer Look's interpretation that the Up segment is about injustice. I prefer to call it love and grief. His life is not a tragedy - it was a wonderful thing. Ellie was a gift to him, even if it were taken away in the end. The most important aspect of this thing was that it explained why Carl was so attached to the house and the idea of the vacation and adventure.

[@knucklescapricorn31]

I also think the racial aspect made it more powerful as well. The attitudes towards black people at the time and place the film is set (not to mention the fact that he was convicted of a very violent crime against a white girl) made it so the guards who liked Jon Kofi couldn't openly express their grief and sadness at his unjust execution. Which I think adds to that strong sense of injustice.

[@crazando]

@@knucklescapricorn31 it also adds to their strong friendship and trust the guards had for him considering the circumstances

Honestly, I feel like I cry hardest when a scene is sad but also has a beautiful undertone. I remember Klaus (spoilers) makes me ugly cry every time when Klaus disappears into the woods after announcing to his late wife that he’s coming. He’s not scared, he’s satisfied with the life he lived, which is something not everyone gets when it’s their time. When it shows Jesper looking for him, asking everyone they’ve met throughout the movie, I got this sad sad feeling. Klaus is happy, but he left so many people behind. The movie ends when Jesper has two children, tucking them into bed before he sets out some milk and cookies before sitting in a chair and staring at the chimney. The last thing he narrates is “I don’t know why or how, but once a year, I get to see my friend again.” As he hears someone come down the chimney Something about tragedy that is interlaced with a beautiful undertone really hits me and a lot of my friends, since you don’t always see things like death highlighted in a more positive way, allowing us to know that everything isn’t always as bleak as it seems

[@Robo0595]

I think what also makes the Up sequence especially sad is that it's so perfectly normal. There's no fantastical tragedy that sweeps his life. It's simply a view of a plausible life, as we see 5 second snipets of Everyman's life story. There is happiness, love, joy, sadness, death, and loneliness. These are all experiences we are nearly guaranteed as humans. It serves as an overview of our own pointless fleeting mortality and that terrifies and saddens us. The rest of the movie uses this understanding of existence to make a point that it's never too late to seek adventure and find joy in life once again.

Inside Out was also a great movie that followed this formula of contrasts and injustice. Strangely, the scene that nearly made me cry was when the monkey island fell down. Riley lost Joy and Sadness to no fault of her own and watching the grey barren island (each island had a personal resemblance) fall down into a void of damp darkness, it was accompanied by cutscenes of happy memories of Riley being a complete goofball and having playful fun, just being a kid. It's powerful because it reflects losing a very defining part of yourself because of circumstances you cannot control. Another example was, interestingly, Minecraft: Story Mode, chapter 4. The writers made Rueben the pig such a lovable companion to the gang, and the big injustice is that Rueben essentially saved the day, the poor piglet didn't deserve to die. This shows that sometimes serving justice to everyone else comes at the cost of injustice to you, you did your part for everyone else, and you get no reward, no chance to see the bright world afterwards that you helped save. It's what made Iron Man's death very compelling as well in Avengers: Endgame, which I will mention, Tony dying did not make me cry, Tony's hologram telling Morgan, "I love you 3000" is what made me bawl my eyes out. Tony always learns from his mistakes, he never got to say goodbye to his parents, so he left a message behind so that he could say goodbye to his daughter one more time. And the cherry on top was the "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart" on a bouquet sent into the stream, a callback to the message that kept him going in the first Iron Man movie 11 years (15 years chronologically) before.

[@sathvamp1]

Inside out was MY first movie to strongly trigger tears from me... at a late age 35, too!

Sympathy is a requirement, actually. You've confused it for empathy. Empathy is feeling what another person feels. Sympathy is being emotionally affected even though you can't relate.

[@TheCloserLook]

Well if you watch it again I pretty much say that. Sympathy is not a requirement. I cried at interstellar yet I am 19. I don't have nor have I ever even thought about having children. It was empathy rather than sympathy. Empathy is understanding a character's emotions. Sympathy is feeling a character's emotions. For the audience to find a situation sad, they need merely understand.

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

The Closer Look Those words have the opposite definitions from what you assume is what I'm saying. Empathy is deeper and tends to come from shared experience and, if not, is about putting yourself in the person's shoes to feel their pain. Sympathy is pity for another person's circumstances, in a way that doesn't require a change of your own perspective. Empathy isn't just about understanding the pain, it requires the pain to be felt. Empathy IS feeling a character's emotions. Sympathy does not require equal or proportionate pain to be felt by the audience, merely understanding. Sympathy is "Gee, that's sad." Empathy is "That makes me sad."

[@TheCloserLook]

Yeah I see what you mean. Ok I admit I didn't understand the difference. I'll be sure to not make that same mistake in the future :)

In fact, (as I later researched, because the effects had confused me at first!) ... some feel-good brain endorphins had come along WITH those tears, as they sometimes do even if we do not notice... but THOSE were so noticeable I was actually CRAVING MORE tearjerkers after that movie. But finding another one that "did that to me" was easier said than done. Three years later, I stumbled upon Interstellar. I knew NOTHING about it so was not expecting much... then noticed (as I was still trying to eat my salad while watching!) tears dripping down my nose during that 23 years scene!

He gets hurt because of all the terrible things his mother did, before she died during his birth. But there's more... In the new season (which was a timeskip sequel), it was shown that most of his "adventures" in the story gave him a serious trauma, and in the end, he turns into a monster, and becomes the endgame villian...

@@awesomelalo5125 That's why editors exist. Good grammar makes writing passable, but good ideas make writing separate from every other novelist trying to make a buck. Also, don't jab at someone if you don't know how to end a sentence or start new ones.

How to make the audience cry: 1- turn a character into a donut 2- "Are we just gonna leave him here, Bucciarati?!?" 3- watch the fans cry

[@cifer8070]

I had tears in my eyes whole time watching Jojo Not because I was sad but instead because I was yawning of boredom

I MOSTLY AGREE WITH AND UNDERSTAND your conclusions in this video, BUT I think you should've brought up examples of how movies and other art have given the audience tears of joy. You may be unfamiliar, but my textbook example due to being firmly nested in the fandom for almost a decade is that I and many others know only too well how many tears have been excreted by people due to their love of Stampy's Lovely World and their gratitude to its creator (Joseph Garrett) for changing their lives, digitally raising them, and giving them childhoods lightyears better than anyone could've ever deserved. Also, even though I've never thought of watching it and still don't plan to, the writing and visuals in that one scene from Interstellar you showed overwhelmingly screamed the deafening message "this movie is a masterpiece". I hope I will put such talent and emotion into my art someday...

When he showed the shot of the up guy sitting alone at his wife’s funeral I started crying

[@buzzardbeatniks]

You know it's effective when even the out of context analysis of a scene makes you cry.

[@sammysam2615]

Didn't cry during Interstellar. Not gonna lie, got choked up during UP. Bu definitely cried during The Green Mile. And if you didn't at least feel for the character, then you are a sociopath

This video is all about oversimplifying a masterpiece. A good movie that brings you joy is not a methodical work but an artistic one that requires talent.
