Nonfiction Sadness?

[Kaltes-Herzeleid]

Manhunter got a very big emotional reaction from me the first time I watched it (still does in some ways). Namely the scene where Dolarhyde and Reba are together and he listens to her heartbeat before putting his hand over the scar on his lip (he was born with a cleft but eventually got it repaired) and cries because it was the first time he felt excepted and loved by another person. I fully admit I teared up with him because I could understand.

There are definitely more examples that come to mind but that'll probably be for another time.
