level 7
I saw RM with my 13 yr old daughter at the fan screening in NYC on March 1st. She was sobbing at the end and said "Mom, that's the first time I've ever cried at the end of a movie - I understand now."
She was in her third day of kindergarten on 9/11/01 and will be entering high school next September. This was the first time she's shed a tear over anything relating to 9/11. After the movie she was still tearing up trying to express what she was feeling. She said she was thinking about how many little girls like Caroline lost their big brothers that day and never got the chance to say goodbye and how many dads lost their sons, how many children lost their moms. Even though two people from our hometown died on 9/11, (and many from the surrounding towns) my daughter didn't know them personally. She explained that since she got to "know" the characters in the film, it really hit her hard when Tyler died. There was finally some sort of connection for her.
After the screening we headed home on the train to the suburbs of NYC. She started tearing up again when we were in the RR station parking lot. It's a station that tons of commuters use heading to work in NYC each morning. "God, mom, just think of that day, how many cars were left in this parking lot because the people that left for work that morning never came home."
