My wife has some of the funniest reactions to movies that you’ll ever see! No, she doesn’t think they’re real and she’s normal in other situations, but a movie with a happy or sad ending catches her heart and produces some of the funniest commentaries ever! After we watched the entire Star Wars saga, she was so moved by Vader’s choice to move back to the light side that she cried tears of joy for about 25 minutes! The best part was her concern for R2D2! Being a loving husband, I of course grabbed our camera and shot the whole thing :)
Her empathetic movie reactions are nothing new. I remember when we were dating and she cried after the movie Elf! She broke down when the dad began singing “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” with the rest of the community. I thought it was not only funny, but really cute too! It amazes me that someone can become so emotionally invested in a character and plot line.
The funniest thing to me is when she cries after a movie that most people wont cry after: Star Wars, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings... etc. It’s hysterical to hear her talk about how happy she is for McFly or Frodo! The best part is, she has an amazing sense of humor and laughs at herself when she sees these videos. She knows they’re online and is happy that her quirk can bring people entertainment.
CryingWife.com is a very simple website that I created so people can have a place to go to read a faq, see the latest videos, and suggest movies for us to watch that you think she’ll have a funny reaction to. We also started a blog to talk about our experiences with this temporary internet fame. You can also follow us on Twitter.
Keep in mind that we’re not trying to destroy her with sad movies! You can suggest them, but she cried at Star Wars! It doesn’t take much! She’s just a super sweet girl who is moved by movies! Thanks for taking the time to read this!
