Boys Don’t Cry
Deported off to a concentration camp during the Second World War the movie is about a father who tries to shield his five year old son from the brutality of war using the only weapon he has: comedy. He acts out for his son to convince him that the concentration camp is all just a game where the winner wins a tank. The five year old wide-eyed son believes everything his father tells him up until the very end of the movie where the father asks him to hide in a sweatbox until everyone has left. The child chuckles as he watches through a peephole his father imitates a Nazi soldier while being marched away.
And then you hear the gunshot.
Guys are not supposed to cry at the movies, but still they do. Biju Viswambaran writes about four non-Indian movies which got him all sentimental.
