What exactly made you cry? I mean, you have no connection to these people; certain things about your posts suggest to me you are young, in your 20s at the oldest; which would give you no connection to these events. There is genocide happening in Africa. There are innocent men on death row. There is a country whose number one commodity is sex slaves. The keyboard you typed this on was likely made by 10 year olds in China working for rice. Yet, this scene is what makes you cry? Call me Holden Caulfield but I sniffs me a phony.
I agree, she is living in the past man, way in the past. Anyway I felt like I wasted four minutes of my life watching that.
