“I have a really hard time watching my sister act in anything but especially anything where it's a strong emotion. Whether she's crying or she's angry or she's - whatever emotion she's feeling I actually think that she's feeling it and I want to hug her and make it all better.” ThinkingWantHardFeelingsStrongEmotionCryAngryHard TimesMy SisterHugStrong EmotionsSister Act Author:Kay Panabaker

“The blues? Why, the blues are a part of me. They're like a chant. The blues are like spirituals, almost sacred. When we sing blues, we're singing out our hearts, we're singing out our feelings. Maybe we're hurt and just can't answer back, then we sing or maybe even hum the blues. When I sing, 'I walk the floor, wring my hands and cry -- Yes, I walk the floor, wring my hands and cry,'... what I'm doing is letting my soul out.” HeartSoulFeelingsHandsHurtAnswersWalksCrySingingSacredMy Soul Author:Alberta Hunter

“It considers not only how we relate to others, but how we relate to our ideas of others so that a completely phony, non-human replica of a dead wife can inspire the same feelings that the wife herself once did. That is a peculiarity of humans: We feel the same emotions for our ideas as we do for the real world, which is why we can cry while reading a book, or fall in love with movie stars. Our idea of humanity bewitches us, while humanity itself stays safely sealed away into its billions of separate containers, or "people.” PeopleWorldFeelsHumansBookIdeasRealFeelingsHumanityFallReadingStarsEmotionWifeCryInspireFalling In LoveBillionsRelateReal WorldMovie StarPhonyContainersReplica Book:Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2005 Source: Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2005

“The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.” MenFeelsMayLongFeelingsOrderSocialNaturalFreedomCryConflictMachinesOvercomingInstitutionsRingsGenuineCeaseDiverseOrganismsCaptivesSuppressionSocial OrderRigidityNatural Feelings Author:Wilhelm Reich
“Hitherto without being; hidden away in the womb of eternity; possessed neither of thought nor feeling; remote from the range of human ken -- the Man bursts, in some unknown manner, the bars of non-existence, and announces with a cry the beginning of his brief life.

“Grief is just so scary.... If we finally begin to cry all those suppressed tears, they will surely wash us away like the Mississippi River. That's what our parents told us.

“In truth, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” isn't about Sept. 11. It's about the impulse to drain that day of its specificity and turn it into yet another wellspring of generic emotions: sadness, loneliness, happiness. This is how kitsch works. It exploits familiar images, be they puppies or babies - or, as in the case of this movie, the twin towers - and tries to make us feel good, even virtuous, simply about feeling. And, yes, you may cry, but when tears are milked as they are here, the truer response should be rage.” FeelsShouldTryingMayFeelingsTurnsEmotionCasesSadnessLonelinessCryTearsBabyResponseRageFamiliarFeel GoodImpulseLoudWorking ItVirtuousTwinsTowersExploitsPuppyDrainsKitschGenericSpecificityWellspringSept 11Twin Towers Author:Manohla Dargis
