movies that make you cry

Go see Sophie Scholl - The Final Days. What a terrific depiction of a strong young woman. And the movie was really about her. It wasn't about her relationship to a man. It was about her inner turmoil and unwavering belief in an ideal. She stood up for her beliefs and did not rat out her friends in order to save herself. How many would be so brave. This movie is very relevant for things going on now that I will not get into here, except to mention that the fight for human dignity and freedom is one that spans our entire human history and continues to this day. This movie really contrasts with the simplified depiction of Pocahontas in The New World. I hate to break it to you, but young girl as a metaphor for virgin territory is not original and is not interesting. More complex women characters please.
