Anyone going to see it when it comes out at the cinema?

[ros]

Only if someone tells me it's not too upsetting 

[crdodgeon]

Might be one for video, so I can sob uncontrollably in the privacy of my own home..

I think I'll be waiting for DVD too, I cry from about 10 mins in of Black Beauty    no matter how many times I've seen it 

[Larri DB]

Ditto - I know it will really upset me and there is no way I'm going to embarrass myself in public to that degree (still blush about properly howling...and I mean properly out loud howling, sobbing and snottery floods of tears at I am Legend and THE dog scene at our local cinema  )

Nope, I will see it at home where my hubby is used to holding a box of tissues for me!

I am in two minds.  I may wait for the dvd, but even then I am not sure I want to watch it.  One of the guys I work with said he has seen the stage version and really recommends it.  But I can't watch black beauty so have I really any hope of sitting through this.    I am not sure.

I have friends who went to see the stage version - all needed tissues..... loads of them

A friend went to see it in London, and she still cant speak about it without welling up, so no I wont be subjecting my brain to the pain of the reality it represents.

Robs taking me to see it at the cinema and ive told him i will cry all through it so be warned

[happy-horses]

I really want to see it! I might just take tissues and go sans make up 

[pico]

I still want to see the stage play - despite the fact I know i'll cry. I expect I want to see this too.

I already purposely 'spoilered' the story for myself to a degree by reading the end of the book one day in a bookshop, so I at least know what happens to the main character horse in the end. I don't usually go for spoilers, but this time I thought I'd better!

It has already opened in North America on Xmas Day. A very horsey teary-type friend of mine went and expected to cry a lot. She said that since it is a Disney film, it was not as painful/difficult a movie to watch as she had thought - from what she said they put the "lighter" Disney touch to the film to make it more feel-good than painful etc. Not sure if she cried at the feel-good parts (which can lead to tears) but she seemed to think it was not that difficult to watch.

I might go to see it sometime this week.

I'm afraid I've not read the book, seen the play and won't be seeing the film.  I think it's great it's helping educate people of the role of animals in war, but I just can't face it myself.  I've accidentally caught the TV advert twice and was sobbing uncontrollably by the end of just that!

[Cloud_cirrus]

Me and Icy Lady are going to see the play at the end of this month, and I'm wondering whether I should see the film first to try and take the edge of my emotion for the play.  I don't mind having a sniffly moment but we are going with a group of work colleagues and I can just imagine the ribbing I am going to get if I'm in tears throughout the whole thing.

I have good reason to worry because I was in tears that the 'making of' and that didn't even say much of the story ......

[Freedom]

I am going to see it as soon as its out - armed with a box of tissues.

Even the trailer brings tears to my eyes
