Why do people cry when watching movies?
Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the crying lot.
Because the movies evoke their emotional sentiments as slowly and steadily connect to the characters concerned in the movies and reach to such an extent that the people watching the movie become able to feel the pain of the concerned characters in the movies and hence end up crying to release their sad emotions which they feel for the characters in the movie.
