Sometimes You Got to Die to Live Again

Please don't list this on a work's page as a trope.
Examples can go on the piece of work'south YMMV tab.

"Crying is cleansing. In that location's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness."

Some viewers are impassive when it comes to what they lookout. They've seen information technology all. No fictional death, cede, emotional display or confession can move them.

Except these.

Since nigh of these involve expiry scenes, shocking twists, or something just equally major, expect many unmarked spoilers. Nonetheless, they tin can besides be equally simple as the right imagery, tone, and music coming together - for the sole purpose of working those tear-ducts.

This being one of the YMMV items, 1 person's Tear Jerker may exist another'due south Narm, which is ofttimes a failed attempt to induce this. Comments such equally "If you didn't cry at _____, you have no soul" are not welcome here; since this is divers by emotional reaction, what causes someone to burst into tears may cause another to shrug or even laugh, and guilt-tripping people just considering they don't experience the emotions you want them to is non absurd.

Many Downer Endings and Bloodshot Endings include tearjerking moments. Either way, make certain to bring the Kleenex. If you want to avoid them altogether, then y'all might want to consider heeding the Snicket Warning Label.

Some tear-jerking moments, especially of deaths, tin air current up being horrifying or traumatizing likewise. Compare Harsher in Hindsight, which may exist a Tear Jerker in and of itself. Dissimilarity Heartwarming Moments, which can induce tears for more than positive reasons, although they can overlap.
