#207 Crying on a good movie

Confession. I am not really a cryer, in watching movies and life in general. Maybe it has dried up with all the crying I did a long time ago haha. But, I do get carried away with good ones. Anne Hathaway's moment in the movie Les Miserables has blown me to pieces and found myself crying and shedding a tear. I can relate with her helplessness and complete lose of hope, as I have been that character one time or another. Her husband left her and a child, fired from a job, no money and thrown into prostitution, then later died in the hospital soon after.  And Anne was good! I did feel the hell and disillusionment in her. Well she did earned a Golden Globe for her acting.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
