Did you get emotional?

[AslanJudah]

I was just wondering if I, a 24 year old man, was alone in crying my eyes out in the movie?

I think it started when Peter, Susan, and Lucy were walking through the Narnian army to see Aslan. I think it was the faces of the Narnians, seeing them and knowing the prophecy, and how long they had waited for them to arrive and the prophecy was coming true before their very eyes.

Also, when Aslan came back to life, it was so spiritual and reminded me so much that I was once a traitor like Edmund, but someone else died to save me!

Did anyone else get emotional? (boy I'm going to feel weird if nobody else did!)

[Aslan the Wise one]

Nope I was doing the same my friend that was with me she could not belive i was crying.

[Knight of Narnia]

Oh no.. your not alone! Its a very emotionally powerful movie! I guarantee you that you are not alone in being moved by that movie!

[cgron]

I'm a 21 year old man and I did get some tears. Especially when Lucy and Susan went out walking with Aslan after dark on the way to his sacrafice.

[Wings of Vanity]

my friend and I were weeping in many instances, so your not alone- i do the same thing with all epics LOTR, Troy, etc.- it had a lot of emotion!!

[melbren]

Did anyone else get emotional? (boy I'm going to feel weird if nobody else did!)

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.

[she-elfwarrior19]

I almost cried at the beginning song not the "blitz" song but when they are like travelling on the train that songs makes me like almost cry./

[Dr.Cornelius]

Oh, yes yes yes! I'm very emotional and tend to cry in the sad part of *every* movie, but this movie it just felt like the whole way through.

The Aslan part was, of course, *very* powerful and I think it moved a lot of people to tears...but I was tearing at the weirdest, most minute things... I love this story, it's my entire childhood...so when I saw Tumnus was right, and when Lucy first got into the wardrobe, when Edmund was spilling the beans about everything...

And then I went home after and cried for about 20 minutes for no reason at all, just because it was so beautiful and so true and there was something that only real life movies and things like that can bring alive in a story, and I was so, so, blissfully happy.

So, yes. Mucho tears.

[she-elfwarrior19]

Welcome Dr.Cornelias, welcome to the site :)
Sweet siggie, my sister would love that!She loves Mr.Tumnus in the new film!
Lol thats ok that you cried lol we all felt emotional im sure of it :D:D

[unleavened]

I'm crying b/c I HAVN'T SEEN IT YET!!!!

[lsipher]

You guys definetely aren't alone.

21 year old female...started getting choaked up in the train sequence...was full out crying by the stone table.

I expected as much and brought kleenex....lol, the book gets me every time.

- Lu

PS And I know for a fact that Gray shed a tear or two as well. ;-)

[Smog]

lol, careful Lu, she might not want you spreading that around ;)

I started choking up at the seen of the ressurection, but that was about it.

[Dernhelm]

I am proud to say I do not let a tear drop........but it was hard.

P.S. I have seen it!!! (obvouisly :p)

[TimmyofOz]

I'm crying b/c I HAVN'T SEEN IT YET!!!!
I haven't seen it yet either!!!!!!, and it will be about a week till I can get some time from work to go see it. :(

[Narnian1]

I do not ever cry, esp. in movies, but how I wept inside when I saw that same scene, then when Peter says, "For Narnia, and For Aslan." How I LOVE this wonderful picture of the gospel. My absolute favorite part is when Aslan is lead like a lamb to the slaughter.

[Saruman]

In my opinion, a real man is one who isn't afraid to cry. At twenty-one, I was most certainly crying during the scene at the Stone Table (the score for that particular scene, while Aslan walks to the Stone Table, was also extremely moving; it very much added to the moment). It was most certainly one of the most powerful messages Lewis could ever weave into his stories.

As an aside: Don't forget the official soundtrack comes out on CD tomorrow!!! :D

[joyride]

Well you were not alone about the crying part. How about crying, and being angry at the same time,and not wanting to see the rest of the movie because the lion died. That was my 19 year old sister who never read the books, and did'nt know how the story went.I did not spoil it for her but I was tempted.

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

I almost cried at the beginning song not the "blitz" song but when they are like travelling on the train that songs makes me like almost cry./


Ha ha I did too!

[WhatsAnAslan]

I'm not ashamed to say that I do cry when there's moments in a movie.. But, unfortunatly I didn't get chocked up at any point :/.. I guess, because I knew Aslan was gonna return after his sacrifice, it didn't hit me emotionally.

[Specter]

I'm 25/male, and while I did not cry, I was on the verge of tears throughout the film. It was a combination of the excitement of finally seeing a film I'd been waiting for my whole life to see, and what I was seeing unfold on the screen.

[Mark]

The one moment I lost it was when Peter raises his sword and says "For Narnia, and Aslan!" It was a defining moment, being realized in a great, big screen epic, and that came through at that moment. I was thinking "WOW!"

[Jewel of Narnia]

The one moment I lost it was when Peter raises his sword and says "For Narnia, and Aslan!" It was a defining moment, being realized in a great, big screen epic, and that came through at that moment. I was thinking "WOW!"

Ya, that was an amazing scene. I almost cried there. Actually during the whole movie I was a little emotional/teary eyed :o...and I don't cry during movies normally.

[Mark]

Same here. I think when you have been familiar with the material for so long, and it means something to you, seeing it on film (especially a good film) does that to you. I had the same reactions to certain scenes in Lord of the Rings, as well.

[Shonka]

I though most of the scenes with the kids was some what emotional especially when Aslan made the deal with the white witch. It was all so moving.

[Namaste]

I got weepy, but didn't really cry, but sort of buried my face against my husband's shoulder and tried to hide it when Tumnus was in prison. That scene really choked me up the most.

Aslan's sacrifice did get to me a little, but not very much, simply because I knew that it was coming. If I didn't know what was happening and had no idea about the resurrection that would come, then I would have blubbed like a schoolgirl.

[zadok]

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.

This was my experience as well. I was either smiling or welling up the entire movie - not bad for a 30 year old dude. I had better stop thinking about or I'll start again here at work...can't wait until Saturday to see it again!

[inkspot]

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.
That's how I felt! And like Paul said, I have been waiting for this film so long, and to see it done so well, it was overwhelming.

[aslanfan]

Okay i'm not really "elligible" to say whether i cried or not since i havent watched the film. (it opens only on dec22 here ):) However, i am more than 100% sure that i will indeed cry, i mean come on, i cried in kid movies like really kiddie. Eg, Lilo and Stitch, Finding nemo, almost every single movie i watch i cry. And Narnia is very close to my heart so i'm bringing 10 packets of tissue with me to get ready. lol

[~Bree~]

Well... this sounds really bad and all, but I got teary eyed at the very begining when Edmund ran back into the house after the picture of his father. :o Then when Lucy ran into Mr. Tummins and the wolves had already attack it. I hope I am not spoiling this for anybody. When the White Witch froze Mr. Tummins, when Aslan make the pact with the White Witch, when they shaved Aslan, when they killed Aslan ;), and when Lucy saved Edmund from the White Witches wound!! There. I am sure those are not the only time just the ones I could see through my teary eyes!! :rolleyes: ~Bree~

[Hope96]

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.

Me too!! Although I have seen the BBC version, it just didn't compare to this movie, to me. The LWW is what sparked my interest (now an obession) with reading and books. The LWW definitely holds a special place in my heart and seeing it come to life like this was amazing. But now, being 27 and having grown spiritually the books bring on an even greater meaning to me. So, like Melbren said, it was like my childhood being brought to life....but then on the spiritual side it was also like God was speaking to me through this as well. OH I was very emotional!!!

[rosymole]

I didn't cry properly, but Iw as on the cusp most the way through. The first 15minutes caused me the most emotional stress, I was really overwhelming to see it on the big screen finally. Seeing lucy find Narnia for the first time was almost too much, seeing her face and knowing all the great things to come, I was quite lost in the movie for a moment.

[jillthevaliant]

i almost started crying, especially when aslan sacrificed himself on the table just seeing him so helpless was...wow. i'm such a nerd. but i was getting teary eyed. plus just...everything. it was all so beautiful.i can't wait for it to come out on dvd

[MrBeaver]

on the verge of tears, but going with my mum was emberassing enough to begin with...

[AslanJudah]

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm actually proud that I cried. It shows I'm not as cold hearted as I thought. :)

Besides the stone table scene, (as I have said earlier) I got the most chocked up when Peter, Susan, and Lucy were going to see Aslan and all the Narnian's saw them. It was like they had been under opression so long from the witch, and now the prophecy was coming true right before their eyes! Powerful stuff.

I know this is probably not what Lewis meant, but that moment reminded me of the Shepherds in the CHRISTmas story. All their lives they were waiting on a Messiah and Deliverer, then on CHRISTmas night they got to see him face to face.

[Christine~Pevensie]

i cried on a few parts when mr. tumnus was dragged out of prison cuz he couldnt even walk...when aslan was 'killed' and somehow the battle scene made me cry as well... oh and also at the end when aslan was leaving..

it was really awesome movie.. it stayed true to the book, which i liked! and the casting was perfect! I'd defintely see it a second time.. and probably cry at the same scenes a second time..

[darlingXimXcontagious]

i cried when aslan was killed, even though i knew he would come back to life.
i'm emotional.

♥

[raven]

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.


I am only 19, but I know EXACTLY how you feel. This story is tied so close to my heart, I was sad just knowing that at the end of Prince Caspian that Peter and Susan won't be coming back. (unless you count LB).

[MRS._William_Moseley]

Oh YES,I was on edge dearing the movie, I almost cryed seriouly. And to make it even better, the gurl next to me thought I was CRAZY!!!!!!!!

P.S. THAT WAS FUN!!! hahahahaa

[inTHEwardrobe]

I didn't quite cry, though I had tears in my eyes. It was more of a....'Gasp! Shockhorror! Ohmygee!' kinda thing for me. I always get upset by the book :(

[kisha]

I cried, and laughed, and sat speechless at different places in the movie. I had to cry when (though it's not in the books) Lucy pulls out the cordial thinking she might be able to heal Aslan that way. It was just something I had never thought of before--she would perhaps obviously had tried that. I also had to cry when Edmund pretends he and Lucy were only pretending. I cried during the train ride....I don't know, there's just something powerful in that train ride that makes the hair on my neck stand on edge right as the Narnia title comes up.

Oh..and I think they did awesome when they showed the wardrobe for the first time...they had that happy music playing really loud and right when Lucy opens the door to the wardrobe room it just wooshes silent.....goosebumps!

Kisha

[AslanJudah]

Something else I haven't heard anyone mention, is the first time we see Aslan. I got emotional there as well. Like seeing JESUS for the first time! Although I dare say I will be more emotional when that finally happens! :D

[PrinceOfTheWest]

I'll bet it'll be a heck of a lot more that just emotional! Which, of course, does not make what you say untrue.

[Doubletwist]

Are you kidding me? I'm a 31yr old guy and I've been waiting for a movie like this to be made since I first read LWW in 1985 [5th grade]. I started crying the moment the opening credits began...

[rosymole]

I just hope AA and Co.know how much this movie has affected people, in a positive way of course. To make a film so close to what we all hold so near to our hearts anyway is no mean feat!

[Son of Aslan]

It wasn't as "touching" as it could have been, IMHO.

[Narniaone]

Hello!

I saw the movie twice. The first time I saw the movie I was choked up at the stone table scene. Then we took our 3rd and 4th graders to see the movie on a field trip today and the scene that got to me this time was when the four children recieved their crowns at their coronation. It made me think about when we get to heaven and the Lord says,"Well done thou good and faithful servant."

My students reactions awed me. I was sitting by five of my boys and they were leaned forward into their seats and didn't say a word. Mind you, these same students don't typically stay still or quiet during the regular school day. :D

Oh, talk about crying moment... one of our fourth grade teachers had never heard of the books or the movie until we planned the field trip. She still didn't have an opportunity to read it before we went. She cried throughout the movie (awesome testament to C.S. Lewis's body of work and Adam Adamson's faithful direction with this material!)

[newworld_56]

I don't really cry a lot for movies or books, but i ALMOST cried a little at the part where Tumnus admits what he was doing and Lucy says "I thought you were my friend .. " I don't know, it was just so sad to me .. also when it showed Edmund after being stabbed by the White Witch, grabbing at the grass for something to hold on to. Those two parts got to me the most .. oh yes, along with the part where Peter and Edmund hugged and they were both crying .. I loved that; i think it was after Lucy helped Edmund with her cordial, perhaps ..?

whoops, that got a little long. :o

[royalpurplelilly]

Oh my goodness - I started crying during the opening credits. This story has just been such a part of my childhood as well as my adult life (I'm 29), I was overcome as soon as it started.

I was a bit overcome at the opening credits because I too have looking forward to this movie since I read the books as a child more than 40 years ago. I also read all of the books, a chapter a night to my 3 sons for bedtime. I am 48, and was so happy to attend the movie with 2 of my sons. what a treat.
The power of Lewis's work is great to have this effect on so many.

ps my sons were a bit emotional too, ages 19 and 21.

[Resident]

Ye, I did get emotional: something moved in my stomach and had to go in to the toilet. I blame the film. The Rest of the film I was laughing how bad it was and that is a weird feeling. Ps. I want my money back.

[ILoveEdmund]

lol..i cried when aslna (supposily died)....:)...

[Puddleglum]

I think several of us have a huge investment of time into this story. I have probably read it at least 15 times. I loved fiction when I first started reading at age 4. I read a LOT up until about age 12, when sports, music, and dealing with a broken family took precedence.

At age 16 I became a Christian through Young Life. As I started reading the Bible voraciously, I also desired to read fiction once again. The wife of the man who prayed with me in Young Life camp also happened to be my home room teacher (in a PUBLIC SCHOOL, no less!). She also happened to be an English teacher.

One day I asked her if she could recommend any good Christian fiction. She said "Well you've probably already read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, haven't you?" I told her no. She got very excited and said "Welll you've GOT to get The Chronicles of Narnia! Then she explained (as this confused me) that The Chronicles of Narnia is a set of seven books by C. S. Lewis. I recognized that name as one of the recommended reading authors on a list of books a Young Life leader had given me. It turned out that book was Mere Christianity.

I bought LWW that week, and the box set the following week. I read the entire series in 10 weeks. Later that year, I began a personal tradition of reading LWW between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I passed this tradition on to my five children by reading it to them aloud. We are all Narnia fans.

Yes, I cried as the movie began. Why? Because the story was being presented to a lot more people who would never hear or see it otherwise.

Several of the scenes were very powerful. The most powerful for me was Lucy entering Narnia. That was what captured my imagination and hooked me as I first read the book. The look of wonder on her face, and then the transition and meeting of Tumnus are absolutely fantastic. The feeling to me was like finally arriving at a place I have longed to go for much of my life. It is a foretaste and foreshadowing of what Lewis describes as our first words in Heaven- "Of course!".

I didn't cry at the death of Aslan. I cried when he resurrected. I cried when Peter called out For Narnia and for Aslan. I cried when the children received their gifts from Father Christmas. I cried during the Coronation and when Lucy and Tumnus were talking. And yes, I even cried when Prof. Kirke said "You never know."

[AslanJudah]

I tell ya what Puddleglum, that was one of the most beautifully written posts I've seen on here and it was very touching. It's great to see what Narnia has meant to so many other people.

[unleavened]

I just saw the movie. I cried...alot. I loved it.

[SwordMaiden]

You are totally not alone! I cried during Aslan's death scene, and got teary-eyed during the coronation. My friends were bawling the whole way through. The story just has very emotional strings attached to it. It's normal to cry, especially in epics like this or Lord of the Rings for example. Sometimes it's in sadness, and somtimes it's in awe. So don't worry, you're not the only one! :D

[WolfsBane]

Considering that they are some of my favorite books...yeah...I cried when I read the books but yeah, the movie had me crying all over the place.

It's a very emotional film...it's all about family and love, and God and well...yeah I cried...lots of times. It's a measure of what a brilliant film it is, and how much people love those books...they've meant a lot to me my whole life.

Cried, cried, cried. I'm going to go see it again...LOL but this time I know to take the handkerchief.

[Christine~Pevensie]

i saw the movie again (2nd time) and I still cried at the same parts i cried the first time.. the stone table scene was just a tear-jerker and also whenever else lucy starts to cry, i start to cry .. oh and the few seconds before the clash in batle you hear the heartbeats and somehow that part gets to me...

[Purple Shadow]

I got choked up at the train station scene in the beginning, when Tumnus was being mistreated in the dungeon, and especially when Lucy starts to open her cordial to help Aslan when it's too late.

[peterismyking]

okay, i'm not a twenty-four year old man, i'm a fifteen year old girl, however, i feel for you dude!!! I,like, hard core cried watching this movie three times!! i cried pretty hard at the end because i knew it was the end and it was gonna start all over again...its was so sad,but in a happy way.....does that make sense??

[peterismyking]

You are totally not alone! I cried during Aslan's death scene, and got teary-eyed during the coronation. My friends were bawling the whole way through. The story just has very emotional strings attached to it. It's normal to cry, especially in epics like this or Lord of the Rings for example. Sometimes it's in sadness, and somtimes it's in awe. So don't worry, you're not the only one! :D
i thought it was just me that cried during lord of the rings and star wars and harry potter and stuff, you guys are making me happy...anyway....

[peterismyking]

i saw the movie again (2nd time) and I still cried at the same parts i cried the first time.. the stone table scene was just a tear-jerker and also whenever else lucy starts to cry, i start to cry .. oh and the few seconds before the clash in batle you hear the heartbeats and somehow that part gets to me...
i couldnt agree with you more, i dont know why that part got to me, but it did...

[rosymole]

I think several of us have a huge investment of time into this story. I have probably read it at least 15 times..........


That was a wonderful post Puddleglum , it summed up everything I feel certainly, well met friend, and welcome back to the site...although you haven't been away really, I just don't pay attention! :p

[Golden Wood Nymph]

I didn't cry during the movie, but I teared up, alot in , like, every scene. But when I read the books, especially the last, I cried my eyes out. Other than the four children, my fav. character was Prince Caspian. So at the end of the Silver Chair, I was crying so hard for like and hour. Then at the end of the last book, how the Narnia they were in all along, was just a reflection of what I think of as Heaven, that just overwelmed me. I was sobbing so long after that. Wow, I LOVE these books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I LOVE William Moseley!!!!!!!

[peterismyking]

maybe its just me, but wasnt it really sad at the end when they fall out of the wardrobe and they're young again? i haven't read the books yet so i dont quite understand...does that mean that all they did was for nothing and that it didnt really change anything for Narnia or what??? Anybody out there wanna help a poor girl out? :( :( :( :(

[Puddleglum]

What you have to realize (and they DIDN'T cover this point well in the movie) is that time in our world and time in Narnia are not the same. Lucy said she had been gone for hours, yet she returned before Peter finished counting to 100.


In the book, the children tell the Professor that she said she had been gone for hours, but had only hid for a very short time. Professor Kirke tells them that is a reason which "makes your sister's story very likely to be true". The idea was the fact that in pretending, children normally don't consider mundane details like keeping up with time.

In Prince Caspian, this "time factor" will come into play once again.
Yes, they came back as they were, instead of grown up. But they also retain the memories of who they were and what they did, so it really isn't that sad.

[Oreius]

I got teary when Aslan died.I hated that part when I read it in the book.I hated when I saw it I the movie.

[AslanJudah]

I got teary when Aslan died.I hated that part when I read it in the book.I hated when I saw it I the movie.

It's sad that Aslan had to die, that was a powerful scene. But just like Jesus, Aslan died so that others could have life. But remember he didn't stay dead for long!

Oreius, that's a cool name and he was a cool character. Was he in the books, I don't remember him?

[AslanJudah]

Was Orieus in the books? I don't remember.

[unleavened]

No, I don't think so.

I'll just say, I cried TONS!

[Aslan the Wise one]

Same here I cryed my eyes out. But I think that it way I have seen it so many times it just gets better and better every time I see it.

[AlwaysHis324]

I cried.

I cried when Aslan died

I cried when Edmund was injured.

I cried when Aslan was resurrected.

I cried...

I'm a 22yo female. But this was a very emotionally drawing movie. (that was a weird sentence). It totally pulled you in. But I get teary eyed when I read the books.

I also got goosebumps/chills when Aslan rose, and when he told Peter after he killed the witch "It is finished."

Man, they did a good job with this movie. I wanna go see it again!

[Jedi of Narnia]

I didn't cry at all but I can see why people would. When aslan died... that was just a tough scene...

[Jewel of Narnia]

I saw it for the third time yesterday, and I still get chills and kinda teary. It just shows what a great movie it is! I want to see it again too.

[thelawtman]

I never get emotional during moives becuase its only a movie its not real it can't happen. I have see so many movies that nothing bothers me. That is why I can watch horror movies were people get eaten alive and ripped in half than walk ouit like nothing happened. IT is all special effects and makeup not real life.

[petersusanlucyedmond]

yes,i cried alot, it made me look like a banshee
and even that is an understatement

[Mr_Beaver]

Me (32 years old) saw the movie today for the first time (The Danish premiere), and I cried mostly at the stone table scene.

[ArrowsOfSilver]

i cried SO hard!!!!!

i started to cry when Aslan went to the stone table, and by the time the Witch said "Despair and Die!" i was crying hard and i got a muscle spasm in my lower back. that only happens when i am severely stressed!

and of course i cried at the end. i cry in EVERY movie.

and the whole time i knew what was going to happen. i am SO weird.

[LucyPevensie]

I don't cry much, but I let the waterworks go after Aslan was killed. And I didn't stop until the Pevensies were crowned.

I am a HUGE animal lover, and seeing so many animals get killed (Aslan, the fox, the animals in the battle..) got to me. It was also really sad to see Lucy so upset after Aslan is killed and when she finds Mr. Tumnus.

[Aslan'sFriend410]

I went to the theater with a jacket pocket full of kleenex expecting to cry my eyes out when the Stone Table scene came. I had already seen a pic of Susan and Lucy with Aslan after he was killed and it broke my heart to look at it. And I am the knid of person that cries at nothing, so I fully expected to wail. I was surprised though that when it got to that part I cried, but I didn't totally bawl. I guess I went into it sorta prepared and there was the fact that it was a school trip and half the kids I teach were there too... now when I go see it again wothout so many people around it might be a different story.

[Quoth_the_Raven]

I went to see this movie with my parents while we were at universal studios this past week, and we cried in the beginning when the children are leaving their mothers. My father even shed a tear!!! I cried when Tumnus was turned to stone, as well as when Lucy and Susan follow Aslan and is killed!!!!! I am 20 years of age and have no shame crying when something moves me so much. I even cried during the 4th Harry Potter movie, when Cedric died. He was such a wonderful charactor. The movie surpassed all of my expectations and I plan to go see it again.

[Daphenilia]

Hey guys iluvsk's cuz and ummmmmmmm.......Yea well lol iluv u guyes sooooooo i still havent seen the movie and my friends said it they didn't like it well bye.

[Daphenilia]

hey my cousin is off and it's the real me again! :D

[Daphenilia]

She's a total Joker!!!

[Quoth_the_Raven]

That was hilarious :p

[WillsGirl]

back to the question in the title.....
I did get emotional but I think it was because God was showing me some things. I guess it all has to do with your perspective.
I am a VERY creative, VERY passionate person. As an artist I see and think differently.
Yes, I got shivers and wanted to cry. I got a little teary but my friend was right there so I blinked back my tears and excepted that I saw some things I needed to see.

........ That was corny wasn't it? Sorry.

[peterluvr4evr89]

i hav never ever cried at a movie i will however cry and such during books!

[dazzascfc]

I dont think that theres anything wrong with a grown man crying in a movie like this, and i dont think that you should feel weird about it as well.

Im 22 years old, i didnt cry myself but i do admit that some scenes i felt a lump in the back of my throat, which is quite rare when watching movies.

[Daishi]

I begin to cry intermittently but consistently beginning at the Sacrifice scene, through the Battlle and to the final Conclusion.

[narnian\elven princess]

im not a personne
who crys during movies
i usaly jump but i never cry
but when i went to see narnia with my best friend
i think there was only 2 parts that made me cry
and it was when lucy met tumnus
bcuz tumnus is my fav carecter so seing him
for the first time was relly emotional
and when aslan got sacrificed it was so sad
and even tho i knew he wasnt dead
i just started up the works again it was just so sad :(

[♣Teh Deviant♣]

ahhh u really dont want to know! i cry when they evacuate London, when they first enter Narnia, when Aslan first shows up on the screen; in his camp, when Aslan is sacrificed, of course, during the Battle, and at the end. :o
And I've seen the movie 5 times! :eek: I still cry everytime at those moments....and get goosebumps!
btw im not sure if I've already replied to this thread before..

Sofia

[Edmund The Just]

OMG. I have never SOBBED at a movie. I cried when they Evacuated London...I cried when Aslan was Sacrificed (that always touches me), and I cried various times at the Battle, 'specially when Edmund got stabbed. I've seen it three times, and I still can't over those emotional scenes!

[EveningStar]

I cried, yes. And I am 46.

[Susan_5000]

wow I totaly cryed when Peter like was all emotional over Edmund. It ws so cute, He has a soft side for his bro.

[Desii noble knight of Narnia]

back to the question in the title.....
I did get emotional but I think it was because God was showing me some things. I guess it all has to do with your perspective.
I am a VERY creative, VERY passionate person. As an artist I see and think differently.
Yes, I got shivers and wanted to cry. I got a little teary but my friend was right there so I blinked back my tears and excepted that I saw some things I needed to see.

........ That was corny wasn't it? Sorry.
me too :) Same reason

[sk8ergirl]

I was going to cty when they killed Aslan but I held it back and jst watch with my heart being pressured

[-Daughter of Eve-]

I did.I don't use to cry watching a movie,but with this one I did.One of the reasons for why Narnia is now so special to me.I love Narnia with every space of my heart :)

[narnian_dyLan]

<33 I was so emo in the movie when aslan died...I mean I couldn't even think about anything eles and I was balling! It was just so sad..It was nothing that I had ever seen before, and the second time I saw it I brought tissues haha! :p

[Kate12whisper13]

I think all Narnia fans have something different, a different connection to the book and movie so we must have all got emotional, where non narnian fans, our people who read the books just thought "What weirdos!"

[NotATameLion]

I usually get emotional during movies, but I rarely actually cry...The only movie I've ever cried during is "The Green Mile".

But yeah, I was emotional throughout the WHOLE movie. I felt like I was on the verge of tears through the whole movie, LOL.

[NarniaPevensiefan]

I was crying because of the stone table. I mean,I knew aslan was coming back to life,but it was just so sad! Someone stabbed the poor,BEAUTIFUL lion.I Am like obsessed with narnia and after the movie I wanted my mind off of it.

[pevensie_lover]

yeah, I cried when the war scene :)

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

For me it was sort of strange, I cried at the Aslan scene even though I knew exactly what was going to happen. Aslan will come back to life! It was so well done and yes, I cried.

[wvccboy]

It was touching and really inspired me to start a Narnia fan site that comes in fourth place to the others in terms of hits!

I like the way the movie really represented the Christian walk and Aslan's sacrifice (Like Jesus dying for us)

[the Large Voice]

I almost cried at the beginning song not the "blitz" song but when they are like travelling on the train that songs makes me like almost cry./
I DID cry at the "evacuating london" song...it gives me goosebumps! Did anybody else cry the first time they ever watched the Narnia trailer? :o <-

[lions mane]

I DID cry at the "evacuating london" song...it gives me goosebumps! Did anybody else cry the first time they ever watched the Narnia trailer? :o <-
i saw the trailo a few months before it came out, and although i didn't cry i got the goosebumps (hard) and i could feel myself getting ready to choke up. :o . i mean it was soo emotional, that i've been a narnia fan since the 3rd grade and finally it was coming out.

During the stone table scene, I was ok...I held back all the tears...I was gonna get through it somehow! But I lost it when Aslan looked at Susan and Lucy - with that face! I watched the movie 3 times, but never cried at the resurrection. It seemed like the movie was too fast paced during the last 15 minutes - I think they should've developed certain situations a little more...oh well, those are my thoughts. :rolleyes:

-Julianna

[redsoxfreak01]

I almost cried when Edmund was stabbed. I didn't cry during Aslan's execution - I was actually laughing during that scene, but that's another story. I also almost cried when Tumnus finds out that Ed betrayed him ("You are here because he turned you in for sweeties.") and then Ed sees Mr. Tumnus as stone.
When I look back on the movie, I get emotional because it was so beautiful and well-done overall - I was first read Narnia when I was about three by my dad so I grew up with the story in my head as well.
The last time I saw the movie I got emotional at the scene where they are at the train station saying goodbye to their mom, as well as when they are on the train leaving their mom.

I really love the movie because it is able to be suspenseful, sad, happy, humrous (and even more emotions!) without being cheesy.

[Ithilien]

I cried at the exact moment the narnian army collided with the White Witch's forces. It was not a particularly moving moment but it was so beautifully shot and dramatic. Everything seemed to escalate to that moment when good would challenge evil. It was quite powerful.

[redsoxfreak01]

Haha! Ithilien, I love your location thing - "in Canada, in an igloo, with a polar bear tethered in the front yard". lol!

[Rhyanidd]

I cried during Aslan's exacution but no where else....well I dont know if I cried, but I was very sad I think I cried...Heehee not very good memory here...*taps head*

[Blount@]

Man cry on the movie Cast Away when willson leaves and most likly my mom will cry in LWW.

[♥AslansForgivenDaughter♥]

I cried watching LWW when the stone table scene came....I had NO IDEA what was going to happen heh,I havn't read any of the books before I watched the movie and didn't know a single thing to exspect
(I'm reading the books now though I'm on horse and his boy :) ) I felt so clueless when watching the movie casue like the scene were Aslan has a private discussion with the witch I kept turning to diffrent memebers of my youth group and asking, "whats happening?" or "why are they going in the tent? whats going to happen!?" heh, I was freaking out exspecially when it came to the Stone Table scene i kept turning to my youth paster and asking him if Aslan were going to die and he wouldn't tell me someone finally told me like the moment before it happend and I was in tears (I cried kinda hard at that scene cause it was really touching and ended up bringing me back to God and opening up the door for me to start getting closer to Jesus) so yeah....the Stone Table scene was really emotional for me.......

[~JadisTheWhiteWitch~]

I cried at the stone table scene too when I seen it the first time the second time I seen it I cried a lil

[Tarkeena]

I'm the sort of person who never ever ever cries during movies. Ever... So... Narnia was no different... I never cried. I was rooting for the Witch the whole time, the stone table didn't bother me, it was my favourite scene. I just love weird creatures and special effects.
It is sort of weird that I always root for the witch, even though I know that she will always lose. (I read the book before seeing the movie.) I rooted for the Green Witch in SC. She had a chance... for a second...

[~JadisTheWhiteWitch~]

oh I see I think this is odd I cried at that scene but my favorite char is the witch

[♥AslansForgivenDaughter♥]

oh I see I think this is odd I cried at that scene but my favorite char is the witch

I cried a lil harder the third time seeing the movie and it came to that scene...(heh, I tried my best not to try the second time I saw it becuase I had a guy friend with me and I don't feel comterable crying in front of guys.....lol)

heh, I love Aslan and it hurt to see that scene....

[~HoRsEy_gUrL~]

Yes i did, even though Ii knew what was going to happen. I'm a BIG cryer!!!

[mejonny]

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET!!!
I'm crying inside for you! I didn't quite cry (I've only ever cried with two movies) but the movie was amazing and definately moving.

[Sezzie87]

I cried three times the first time I saw it, mainly because of the few really hard-hitting moments - like when the white witch drops to her knees when Aslan roared, and the moment He appeared in the archway after rising again, they're such powerful representations of Christianity, I was really overcome

[Sharlene]

I, also, like most of you guys, was very emotional during this film. I cried at tons of different parts all three times I saw it.
I think we cry and it makes us sad more than non-Christians because we all were Edmund's once, and Aslan was Jesus for us. it becomes real to us and we know exactly what the whole Narnia books mean. if that made sense... lol. Any one agree with me?

I very much agree with you! Christians who understand the symbolism have a much higher emotional stake in the film. The Stone Table for us is something like The Passion, which of course was much more meaningful to believers than non-believers.

[Tsukiko]

I thought at the very beginning when they are showing the tarin and it says "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" The music in that scene made me feel sad. And when Mr. Tumnus played on his panpipes for Lucy made me sad also...and when Aslan died

[Jack of Blades]

I was just wondering if I, a 24 year old man, was alone in crying my eyes out in the movie?

I think it started when Peter, Susan, and Lucy were walking through the Narnian army to see Aslan. I think it was the faces of the Narnians, seeing them and knowing the prophecy, and how long they had waited for them to arrive and the prophecy was coming true before their very eyes.

Also, when Aslan came back to life, it was so spiritual and reminded me so much that I was once a traitor like Edmund, but someone else died to save me!

Did anyone else get emotional? (boy I'm going to feel weird if nobody else did!)
I'm glad you brought that up. I did cry (A little) when they left and when the mice came to free Aslan. I love it when there is loyalty. It is beutiful

[georgie_daugther_of_eve]

being a Georgie fan, I cried on her tender scenes

- evacuating london scene

- when she was telling everybody she went to narnia and Edmund too but he denied it

- The scene when Aslan was killed and Lucy and Susan are crying, it was very touching to see them hugging his body

- Aslan back to life

- Lucy sees the stone of Mr Tumnus and she cries then later he is fine and Susan and Lucy hug him

- Edmund is fine after drinking the potion and Peter hugs him

- when they were old and suddenly became kids again lol

- the ending

[Pevensie89]

I cried when the Pevensies and all the other children were leaving their Mothers, and they are getting on the train, saying bye to their mums, shouting to them that they love them

*tear*

[inkspot]

*tear*
Me, too! And I felt pretty silly, because the movie was just beginning!

[Laurie65]

When I saw LWW in the theaters I always got weepy when the children are on the train, when Aslan dies and comes back to life.

[fish_wwjd_frog]

yup. When Aslan died and also when Lucy was talking to Mr. Tumnus and Aslan was leaving :( . And tears of happiness when the four were crowned!! :o :D

[Gondorgirl]

this will give you an idea of how emotional I got:

I teared up when I saw a commercial for it because they were making a better version. that they were making it period. that it was coming out any time soon enough to have a commercial.

I cried through most of the movie.

[Gondorgirl]

I completely broke down when Aslan died. all three times I saw it in theaters. it isn't as easy to cry when you're watching it in your living room and people can see you. rather embarassing. but I might not be able to not cry, since I haven't seen it for so long.

[Pevensie89]

Me, too! And I felt pretty silly, because the movie was just beginning!
Ha Ha I know what u mean!! I felt stupid too!! haha

[*~Luthien~*]

I cried so many times on that movie!
First I cried when Tumnus was turned to stone, then I cried when Aslan walked out of the tent, I dont know why but the music got to me. Then I cried when Aslan was sacrificed. At the beginning middle and end of the battle, when Aslan came back, oh and then when Edmund got stabbed and all that rage was forcing Peter to fight faser and harder, the theme song got me at that part, then when Tumnus came back, lets see up when Edmund was cured and then at the end cause I wanted them to stay in Narnia not leave. Thats about it actually

[pink-cheetah]

who gets chills (not bad ones) watching the battle? dont tell me im the only one.

[*~Luthien~*]

I deffinatley did! The music! The Mood! Its beautif dream come true that has inspired ideas for my own battle scenes!

[Someonebeatmetowunderkind]

I am 38 and I read the Chronicles of Narnia over and over as a kid. I wore the books out.

As an adult, I saw the LWW movie, and got all...um... I mean...I got salt in my eyes from the popcorn, and, uh...my eyes watered alot.

I just read the whole series of books again, and ...got even more salt in my eyes.

Seriously. I cry every time Aslan makes an appearance. The writing conjures such an awesome feeling! It makes me believe that God is much more loving than vengeful, and that Heaven might just be alot more fun than being eternally stuck in church.

OMG! Aslan does the exact same thing for me also! like whenever he makes an appearence I get this warm feeling inside and it almost makes me want to cry becuase I know in those moments what I've never known before about God (like about him being much more loving them Vangeful) and thats just...amazing....I thank God for the movie and deffinitly for Aslan! :)

heh, now that I have the Narnia DVD it's so hard for me to watch the Stone Table scene....I mean seriously I either cry or come close to crying every time I watch that scene....is it hard for anyone else to watch that scene without crying or feeling really sad/scared??? please don't tell me I'm the only one.....

LoL, u know the part after Edmund gets stabbed and it was quiet for a minute, and then the music started and Peter went wild on everyone? Well thats when I lost it (I was thinking of someone at that time)

[-Daughter of Eve-]

I cried too,hehe :D.At first in the beginning when the Pevensies are evacuating London,and then when Aslan had been sacrificed,and also some other times.The whole movie is so beautiful and powerful,very touching sometimes!
Usually I don't cry watching movies,but when it happens,the movie is destined to be my fave movie forever :)
