Ben and Feifei discussing about the films that make us cry and why we actually enjoy watching something that makes us burst into tears (cry a lot). And they talk about the language is associated with cryimg.
They take a references about the emotions with the Psychologist called Dr. Averil Leimon what she said the emotions are manipulated because then they're allowed to have them. And the opinion of  Philip Sheppard, Film score composer. He said that the music and movies generate a catharsis, specially when they are in a crowd, people's emotional responses are much more intantaneously responsive.

This program is very interesting because they watch a vision about the movies that us cry a lot, putting a vision of two professionals that they tell us that they thing about de connection between movies and people who watch it. For me, nothing is unusual because I know many movies makes me cry.
