Dying Young - Did anyone else CRY like a baby??
Okay, so I just watched "Dying Young" (1991) and I'm a total MESS. Like, seriously, I haven't cried this much at a movie in ages. Has anyone else seen this one? It's about Hilary, who becomes a nurse for Victor, this really wealthy and handsome guy who is dying of leukemia. You just know where it's going, but still... it HIT me. I think what got me the most was how they both kind of saved each other? Hilary was so lost and hurt at the beginning, and Victor was just...existing, waiting to die. And then they find this connection and he starts LIVING again, and she starts FEELING something real. When they went to that remote cabin and were just trying to have a normal relationship...ugh, my heart! I especially liked how it never got too cheesy, you know? They kept it raw and honest about how scary the situation was. But seriously, am I the only one who was ugly-crying when Hilary shaved Victor's head? And that ending?? I won't spoil it too much, but I was sobbing so hard I could barely see the screen. I really felt like Julia Roberts really portrayed their connection deeply, there were times when I felt I was watching a real relationship unfold. So, did anyone else have a similar reaction? Was it just me being super sensitive, or is this movie a certified tearjerker? I need to know I'm not alone in my emotional wreckage, lol! Did anyone else connect with Julia Robert's character and the movie like I did? Let me here your thoughts!
