54->''"Speaking of how real people act, that brings me to the second thing that I find most appealing about this movie: there is ''no'' sexy cry. In movies, at least that I've found, there are three distinctive kinds of crying. The first is: the sexy cry; it's the cry that when you see it, you think: 'Aw, they're trying to be brave', or hide their emotion, or, at worst--they're crying, but want to stay attractive. The second is: the public sob; that's when the lip quivers more and perhaps gasping and mild groans are emitted. You think: 'I need to feel sorry for this character because they're clearly in distress'. ''Then'' there's... ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sItJs9zGIu0 (clip plays)]]'' YES! THAT is how you cry. That's the kind of crying where liquid oozes out of every orifice and you make noises like a drowning moose. The kind of crying that isn't [[BeautifulTears attractive]] because--sadness isn't attractive. It's that kind of crying that causes you to actually feel a twinge of guilt and embarrassment for willingly observing someone literally ''break down''."''
