“Screaming, Crying, Throwing Up” — People Are Sharing Their Unexpected Reactions To Movie Scenes
A little while ago, we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share the times they had ~less than typical~ reactions to iconic movie scenes.
There was crying, laughter, screaming, and soiled trousers galore! Let’s get into some of these unexpected responses:
? Be warned, some of these submissions contain major spoilers, so make sure you scroll past any you don’t want to spoil for yourself! ?
1. The intro to Black Widow.
“I sobbed through the entire opening scene of Black Widow to the point that it turned into wailing. Something about seeing those kids in the film have their families casually torn apart in front of them just broke me, and the Nirvana cover didn’t help either!”
— sunshineinspring
2. The trailer for Dumbo.
“It’s probably been 40 years since I saw the original Dumbo, so I was not expecting to see the trailer for the remake and automatically lose it. I was sobbing like the world was ending and I have no idea why! So, needless to say, Dumbo can stay in my childhood.”
— swampdog
3. The *slicing* scene in Ghost Ship.
“The opening of Ghost Ship got me. I didn’t mean to laugh when everyone got sliced in half by that damn wire, but it was just so ridiculous to me!”
— r4732565ca
4. The sinking ship inTitanic.
“A friend of mine and I were almost thrown out of the cinema for laughing so hard at Titanic. Specifically, it was the scene where the sinking boat snaps, and a man falls and hits the propellor before bouncing into the water. I know it isn’t funny, but there was a little *boing* noise when he hit that was hilarious.”
— awkwardelephant50
“I watched Titanic for the first time recently with a friend and I thought I was prepared for the ending, but I wasn’t. As we watched the film, I was sobbing and my friend was doubled over with laughter. We must’ve looked so strange!”
— local_leprachaun
5. The sacrifice in Avengers: Infinity War.
“The first time I watched Infinity War I was on an awkward Tinder date. Although I’d never heard of any spoilers beforehand, I could guess where the scene between Thanos and Gamora was going. When he threw her off the cliff, I just said ‘yeet’ in a deadpan way and my date was shook to say the least.”
— congdongracie24
6. “Expecto Patronum” in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
“I was 16 years old when I watched the third film, and I began crying for some reason when Harry was struggling to summon his Patronus close to the end. It was just so intense, I was overwhelmed.”
— miab4e8eaccc7
7. The heartbreak in The Fault in Our Stars.
“I laughed for quite a while when Gus died, not because of the death itself, but because of everyone else in the theatre’s reaction. I’ve never in my life experienced a theatre full of people let out a collective loud sob before. I couldn’t help but giggle at the absurdity of the situation.”
— spartanspreapreforbattle
8. The babysitter’s death in Jurassic World.
“It was the bit in Jurassic World when the pterodactyls escape and are attacking everyone; they pick up a woman and drop her in a tank with the big dinosaur. My sister and I were laughing our asses off and cheering on the dinosaurs!”
— hobbitgirl96
9. All of the murders Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
“I was familiar with the storyline of Sweeney Todd, but what I didn’t know was that the gore would be almost cartoonish. Right after the first murder, I laughed so much. I was just so surprised by the aesthetic decisions that had been made with the regards to the blood. A natural reaction to bloody murder, right?”
— maetelle
10. The shark slandering in Jaws.
“I cried during Jaws because I felt so sorry for the shark! He was only trying to eat his dinner.”
— jasminetaylor
11. Darth Vader’s heartbreak in Star Wars Episode III.
“The friend I was with was sobbing at the end of Revenge of the Sith, but when Darth Vader found out that Padme died and shouted ‘noooooooooo’, I literally ~guffawed~ in the theatre. I just couldn’t help it!”
— clairetasmic
12. The villain reveal of Zootopia.
“I was so hurt and ticked off when Assistant Mayor Bellwether was revealed to be the true villain of Zootopia. I genuinely believed up until that point that she was a good ‘person’ and a mentor of sorts to Judy. Finding out that she was a ‘prey supremacist’ hurt me beyond belief.”
— raymaariforever
13. The Twilight Saga… in general.
“Even though I’d seen all the other movies, I didn’t care much about seeing the final Twilight film. When I eventually did watch it, I ended up having a full blown panic attack when they showed Carlisle’s severed head. I whispered through sobs ‘I don’t even care, I don’t know why I’m having this reaction’, whilst being vaguely aware that the situation was objectively pretty funny.”
— clairetasmic
“‘You better hold on tight, spider monkey’ – it’s supposed to be romantic, but that line makes me laugh every single time.”
— bundtcake12
14. Stitch’s moment alone in Lilo and Stitch.
“When my mom first passed away, I wanted to watch Lilo and Stitch for comfort because it’s one of my favourite Disney movies. When I got to the part where Stitch goes out to the backyard and says ‘I’m lost’, I just completely lost it. I don’t think I’ve watched it all the way through since then.”
— bridgetd5
15. The singing soldiers in Cyrano.
“I went to see Cyrano and all was just fine until the soldiers started singing ‘Wherever I Fall’. I cried throughout the entire song. Not a single other song in that movie did anything for me, but that one for some reason hit me hard.”
— sforsgren1
16. The Matrix getting bugged scene.
“I don’t now, is this scene kind of… Hot? Just me? Okay, no problem, ignore me!”
– sam_cleal
17. Armageddon‘s goodbye scene.
“At the end of Armageddon – when Bruce Willis is on the comm saying goodbye and they show a shot of Ben Affleck crying – I laughed my ass off and couldn’t stop. I actually had to leave the theatre! I don’t know why it was so funny to me but it was.”
— nicole06
18. And lastly, Dobby’s passing in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2.
“I’ll be honest, when Dobby died, I felt super relieved to finally be rid of the annoying little git.”
— nib80
