| Sep 30, 2015 at 15:55 | comment | added | Meat Trademark | You can cry from extreme happiness as easily as from sadness. Crying as a genre could still need Crying: Joy or Crying: Sad as a descriptor. I sometimes laugh during a drama or horror film, doesn't make them "laugh" movies. Plus, no guarantee people will cry. I've seen so-called comedies where I didn't laugh. Also the genres you mention are things that take place on the screen; jokes, horror, action. Crying is a physical reaction as opposed to a genre. Part of what makes you cry during a movie is not expecting to cry. Calling it a crying movie is a lot to live up to. | |
