I just watched hope floats. It made me upset.
I never got to stand up to my father and tell him he said he'd be there. I never have. I've never even asked why he didn't ask for joint custody. I never asked why he doesn't ask to see us. I never mentioned the promised fishing trip after it was cancelled all 8 times.
In the movie the little girl gets all upset and she cries and screams at her father and she says "you said you wanted me." I'm jealous of how bold she is, and how much faith she had in her father in the first place. I'm jealous that she was close enough to him to be able to say those things, to expect those sort of things from another human being. Because generally, no, I don't believe anyone owes me that sort of thing, but a father.. that's just different.
Yes, movies tear me up.
