I admit it. I teared up during ENDGAME. We cry during emotional movies because of oxytocin, which makes us feel more connected with the characters while increasing levels of empathy, altruism and even fulfillment.
Are we weak if we cry during a movie? Empathy makes us better, stronger human beings. Crying at a movieis also a great way to untangle some of your own emotions through the characters onscreen. And since it's only a movie, you don't have to deal with any lasting effects. You have a nice cry, you feel better, and credits roll!
The empathetic souls have their hearts broken frequently by movies and books or people. They tend to heal and rebound faster, making them stronger people in the longer run. DO YOU CRY AT MOVIES? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME?
