Why Do Some Movies Leave a Lasting Impact?

They’re both pretty intense. I had very different emotions for both. Not sure I could handle that museum. I’d probably be sick to my stomach just knowing it was real. Those poor people. The Shack is another good but sad movie.

I’m not fond of Hallmark movies myself but it was just too sad for me especially since I have a dog, I was putting myself in his shoes so to speak. I love dogs and don’t care for sad dog movies.

@luvbeingamom18, it was a sad movie.

Yes I agree on the lessons they brought. I really don’t think he meant bad just wrong timing. With Hachi I have a dog so it was even more emotional I was bawling like a babyyyyy. The other movie I honestly felt mad, upset and really sad especially knowing it was based on a true story.

@luvbeingamom18 I have a 16+ year old pup who I've had to make an outside pup for the past 3 years. Thankfully she love the outdoors but it breaks my heart not to have her inside, but it was a choice between saying goodbye or having her live out her old age and she is doing remarkably well considering. But every day I fear going outside to take care of her and her sister bc the inevitable will arrive, so any pup doesn't make it movie tears me up. Can't handle them without mega tears and sincere emotional upset. And anything about the Holocaust haunts me.. I feel it to my bones and can't escape from the emotions. Like you I feel a multitude of them at once but the lessons learned are powerful and have helped me to be a better person. I've met survivors of the Holocaust and don't have the words. I am sure dh didn't mean anything bad by it. But timing can really make the difference in how we take in information and process our emotions. Thank you for reminding me of these sad but touching stories. When my children are older I hope the powerful messages will touch their little hearts in a similar way as they have me. Goodnight mama.
