Didn't cry at the start when she dies. Never got to me that much. It's later, when he opens their adventure book and sees she filled it with the adventure of their life together that I bawled my fucing eyes out.
He neglected the most tragic part of that 5 minute sequence: that the wife died before they had the chance to fulfill their childhood promise to visit the waterfall.
The part that gets me in up is near the end when he opens the adventure book he assumed to be empty but it’s full of memories from that very beginning montage… shatters me to the core
That got me so bad. I was warned that the beginning was incredibly sad so I think my brain dissociated in advance to keep me from feeling emotions but that final adventure book scene came out of nowhere and broke me. I just couldn't stop crying 😭
My mom had been sick for many years, but she had finally gotten healthy, so my dad planned to retire so they could travel the world together. Then COVID took her in the blink of an eye, and now he spends his days taking care of the cemetery just so he can spend a little more time with her. He lost his best friend, just as they were getting to their happily ever after.
Sam is hilarious, but his actual businessman personality is what sells it the most, imo. He's the ultimate comedic straightman to the players' funnyman.
That's why it's hard for me to re-watch UP. That scene is heartbreaking although there's no dialogue but it's so realistic. No matter how many times I've seen that scene it still brings me tears.
The beginning of Up is great and I always get misty eyed watching it, but the part that always gets me is at the climax of the movie when Carl finally turns the page of Ellie’s Adventure Book to see their life together. All this time Carl was convinced that he hadn’t given Ellie the adventure she wanted but he had given her the adventure she needed. When Carl reads “Thanks for the Adventure,” I sob.
This episode was 10/10, I was full weeping and going "WHOEVER PUT THIS TOGETHER IS UNHINGED" because it was just the most violent assault on everyone's emotions. The moment Rekha started reading her letter I did not stop crying until the end. Could not recommend enough.
Years ago I had to explain the beginning of the movie to my British friend because he didn't understand why they spent their life savings when she got sick.
Yeah watching that movie in the theaters with young kids in sure was confusing for them why all the adults were crying. There was no preparing for that!
You forgot the major detail of the trip to Paradise falls that they were dreaming of since kids. He bought her a ticket but before he could show her on the picnic, she had to be sent to the hospital where she ended up passing. And the Adventure Book. Goddamn, what a terribly sad start to a wonderful movie.
I would definitely lose this challenge. I started choking up the second he said "Up". This whole movie is my Kryptonite. I haven't watched the movie in years, and every once in a while, I want to watch it again, but I decide against it, as I know I would be a mess by the end.
Everyone in the comments: i would win this episode Me, having seen the rest of the episode: Maybe, but you'd feel like a terrible person because this clip is maybe the least tearjerking thing in the whole game. I'm pretty cynical, and even I cried by the end. Jess lost Hard and we love her for it. Go get dropout and finish this one, you won't regret it.
I think if I was Jess, I may have cried at some point. But overall, it's still really hard to make me cry, happy tears especially. But I think it would definitely be a challenge either way. Great episode
Definitely! I can be pretty numb to emotions when i want to but this episode made it rly hard for me to stay cool. Would i have survived the show when im under pressure? Maybe. Did i survive at home not prepared for the fight? No. I broke nearly at the end
I definitely teared up, especially towards the end of the first letter but im sure most people wouldn't cry and thats okay, im glad Jess did lose this one tho
I genuinely watched this episode four times in the two days that it's been out. What a beautiful thing to be so loved by the people around you. I highly recommend everyone see the full episode - the smiles and laughter are like medicine after this past couple of years.
This episode - even more than the "Yes or No" episode - is one that I **IMPLORE** you RU-vid-only fans who just watch the clips to please buy a Dropout subscription to watch in full! This episode is very much about the buildup over the course of this episode, this clip is honestly the tamest "tearjerker" they're subjected to, and it really benefits seeing the whole thing unfold.
I'm glad you commented this, as I probably would have put off watching it otherwise. I noticed something was strange during the image part, but didn't get the rules until Rehka's turn in the next part. Btw, I'm being as vague as I can to avoid spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it. It truly was a tearjerker of an episode and I was close to properly crying by the end of it. I honestly love this style of episode (there have been a few with similar types of rules, if you know what I mean).
@@SpingotGoomer Thats a very good episode, but with other episodes like jeopardy and yes or no, I think game changer definitely has a lot of episodes that could be slotted for best
I’m surprised none of them started crying just from hearing they were going to watch the first 5 minutes of this movie. Genuinely, just being reminded of that scene makes my eyes cry waterfalls!
There’s such a delightful emotional disconnect between the incredible sadness that’s being described in the short, and the boundless love and warmth that the episode ends up being. If you have Dropout, or are thinking about getting it, I can’t recommend this episode enough.
It's also not just "my wife died" It's depicting a life of happiness together, sure there were upsides and downsides, not all their dreans could come true, but they had a lot of happiness together. And it's sad that instead of reflecting on it and being happy it happened but sad that it's over all that remains is the sadness. P.S I haven't seen the full film but i assume the end of the film is him realizing that their love is still there and never left as he reflects and realizes that having bittersweet moment means he lived a long life worth living with someone he loved
I’ve seen it so many times and tear up every time. The whole movie is a delight, but that opening montage is pure perfection in emotionally devastating storytelling.
This brings back so many memories. I first saw Up over a decade ago as an edgy teenager who wasn't prone to crying at movies. This one hit me directly in the feels though, I couldn't help but shed tears at the introduction to the film. Such masterful storytelling, and all without dialog. The rest of the film was great too. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and give it a watch.
this was me but during inside out. as someone who grew up mentally ill, i sat in theatres watching it alone at 14 just sobbing. up hits hard, but in a different way
Am I the only person who never found this stuff sad? "Oh no she died, oh well. Bambi's mom is dead? Then hurry the fuck up and run bambi or else your going to die too. Mufasa died? That's sad, now someone shove scar into the stampede." None of these scenes were sad to me when I was little and everyone talks about how it made them cry
@@kk-bn7sg I think it's more like if you can relate to the loss/sad scene in some way. Same as you, I've never cried during either of the two scenes you mentioned, because I couldn't really relate to it
@@kk-bn7sg it’s sad because Carly & Ellie were so in love & wanted children so badly so you feel for them wether you’ve gone through it or not but definitely didn’t make me cry but I’ve only cried from like 2-3 movies 🤷🏻♀️
When I know movies are trying to pull at my emotions, I start playing a random club banger in my head. Hard to cry and think “go shawty, it’s your birthday” at the same time.
Unfortunately for shawty, this was the last birthday she'd ever spend with that one special guy in her life, the one who always yelled "go, shawty, its your birthday" and so, leaving this mortal coil, shawty went.
Just thinking about the song they play in the movie, makes me tear up. The same song that brought happiness and hope, also brought tears and mourning within a span of 5 minutes. It is the epiphany of the feeling memories can give you, I absolutely hate it
Tbh literally same, she died after a long fulfilling joyous life with her husband, that’s really not sad. I do not get the people who get emotional at this🙄
same, but i think it’s because i was too young to fully understand certain things (i.e. the infertility) so even knowing the full story now i can’t get THAT emotional about it
No, everyone has different emotional triggers and responses. The first time I saw Up, I cried because they WERE happy, and then the husband had to go on without the one person he really ever connected with. For me, the story is reminiscent of my own grandfather's death, and my grandmother's decline after his loss. But again, everyone is different! That doesn't mean you're insane or wrong.
Legitimately this was one of the best episodes of Game Changer. I loved it so very much. Also as an edit; please subscribe to dropout so you can see the full thing! It's worth it!
I can't remember the last time I watched Up, but I know that I watched it a million times, and that part never ceased to amaze me. Even with the lack of dialogue, it's sad enough to make you want to cry
This episode was great. So funny when the whole thing turned out to be "Make Jess cry and do a rehersal wedding with her and her finance" episode. Someone was definitely cutting onions 🙈
Ima be real with y’all , I’ve never found the start of UP that sad . I’m not gonna go and act like I’m the toughest or whatever but it’s just never hit me in the feels .
Ima be real with ya, you may have a low level of empathy, and I don't mean that as an insult, but just an observation, as it is a reality many people are born with or depending on their life experiences. Clinical psychopaths for example lack it, though most aren't aware they lack it until tested on it and feel they are empathetic, because you can't really realize it unless you were able to experience it from someone else's perspective, your only frame of reference is your own.
@@invertexyz tbh you’re probably right as I’ve recently been suspecting that I have low empathy , I doubt that I’m a psychopath but I definitely feel like the way I process emotions is different from the average person
@@shinystars2475 That's cool that you are willing to recognize that in yourself. A lot of people don't allow themselves that kind of self reflection. It's important to be able to be aware of and admit our differences, as it's the only way we come to an understanding of why someone might be reacting differently to how we do. Me personally, I get completely wrapped up in characters, whether it's Pixar or Marvel or something more serious, I really internalize the situation they're going through and I will become a stream of tears in seconds lmao
@@invertexyz What's interesting is that I have been told that I am quite empathetic to the point that it may not be the best for me yet I never got hurt by it.
i have never cried while watching it and i just not rewatched it and nah i see how sad it is i guess but it's honestly surprising that so many people straight up struggle not to cry
Soul was pretty good. One story Pixar is weirdly good at telling is accepting the mortality of yourself and your loved ones, ex. Up, Coco, and that one bit of Toy Story 3.
Umm. The current Chief Creative Officer at Pixar is the director of Up. The "current stewards" are exactly the same people who have always been there minus Lasseter.
Always cry at the beginning, and I think even on a gameshow to not cry I would because its one of my favorite movies. A wonderful message about how you can still have happiness after the good times end, you have to make sure to not become bitter.
The hardest part about that scene is imagining yourself in it. It’s something a younger audience can’t comprehend as well as the older, simply because the older audience has experienced that type of love before, and can sooner imagine themselves in that position. It’s an easy scene for me to watch right up until I imagine the one I love in that hospital bed instead.
