As a guy, I tend to fall under the 'void of emotion' category of men. The type that appears tough by default. Deep inside I get emotional, but I'm pretty good at hiding it. The last time I cried was as a child. As an adult, each time I get on the verge of shedding a tear - usually while watching a sad movie, I'm reminded about one of my most vivid memories of crying as a child. It happened when I watched a movie called The Champ. I haven't seen it since then - likely out of fear that I'll cry again.
The Champ is a movie about a professional boxer and his son. I barely recall anything about the movie except for the ending scene of the movie. Let's just say it was so sad that it has now become a litmus test for some psychologists to gauge whether a child is psychopathic and void of empathy.
Not surprisingly the movie is available on Amazon and I just discovered that the lead character was played by John Voight. Who knew?
