First movie that made me cry like literally. I had never cried for a movie, not even Titanic
But now i am more sensible, i even cry tears of happiness during movies
Also thank god there is no Mathew Shephard movie, coz I wouldn't be able to handle it
The movie made it seem like he committed suicide over nothing.
