  The "It's not your fault" scene gets me every time—what are some movies scenes that never fail to make you emotional?

  Those dislikes must be someone's defense mechanism.

  Michael just explained to me how I felt and why I felt that way.<br><br>This isn’t even a lesson from a screenplay. This is a lesson from life.

  As a counselor myself, this was a very thoughtful breakdown of a great movie. You analyzed the screenplay and characters in the same manner as a good psychologist would analyze and help a client. Great work.

  I still can&apos;t believe that this lost to Titanic for best picture at the 1998 Oscars. This was so much better.

  &quot;Look at me, son.&quot; aaaand I&apos;m done. Tears every time. No matter how many times I watch this movie it reduces me to a blubbering mess and I love it! :D &lt;3

  The &quot;it&apos;s not your fault&quot;-scene is a perfect example for good casting. I cannot picture another actor in that scene but Robin. Even Anthony Hopkins, who is one of my favorites, could not have done a better job. Just perfect. And I also like how I want Robin to stop cornering Matt for some reason. It makes me feel uneasy, as if I was Will Hunting.

  I&apos;m so socially and emotionally illiterate that I&apos;ve watched this movie twice and never got it, but this analysis made me choke up. Thank you SO very much.
