"and gee he's an old softy. he cries so much during the film it's ridiculous."
Please, if men cried a little more, it might be a better world. McNamarra aside and his crocodile tears, anger is an acceptable emotion in men; grief/sadness/tears are not. This has the general psycho-social effect that men will convert all unacceptable grieving emotions into anger. The hell with that.
