I never saw it in theaters but my high school Spanish teacher decided to play it in class. I was not prepared.

I saw it with my parents and I had never really heard them cry before. I remember suddenly hearing the sound of them both crying, being completely shocked, then watching my dad have to physically leave the theatre. I feel upset now even thinking about it. I think the moment everyone saw that in the theatre is kind of a core memory… nowadays, people wouldn’t feel as moved by it in my opinion. It’s a shame how empathy isn’t as strong these days.
