Masculinty is a spectrum like femininity. Moonlight was a rare film that showed different types of masculinity. Its rare to see any mainstream film cover the nuances of masculinity that doesnt involve sports

im a man, and when i watched the iron claw i cried for two hours afterwards. seeing that movie made me realize i had deep rooted issues with my father's death when i was young and the way i see myself as a man because of it. when zac efron finally let go of his grief and his despair at the end of the movie, i did too. i realized that there isn't a set definition for what a "real man" is, it is only what you need it to be. thank you for this video broey, i now have a deeper understanding of myself and others.

Really surprised that “It’s a Wonderful Life” wasn’t mentioned here. It’s the movie that always makes me and my dad cry and George’s struggle is deeply rooted in the masculine idea of providing for your family. He has spent most of his life sacrificing his personal goals to help out his loved ones and when it looks like everything is about to collapse, he’s willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to provide for his family. It’s only when he’s shown the positive impact his actions have made that he reconsiders sacrificing himself. I feel as though the movie is very ahead of its time in terms of portraying masculinity through loving and pro-social behavior which is eventually rewarded by the end. Still makes me cry to this day.

This reminds me of Contrapoint's latest video about Twilight and female fantasies - the ability to be able to receive pleasure without autonomy relieves the burden of shame (hence why female fantasies often have "problematic" power dynamics). Maybe for men this fantasy involves the ability to show and feel VULNERABILITY without shame (being thrust into war / sports competitions).

Man, that guy who couldn't cry for his parents' divorce so he watched a bunch of films about genocide... that's so deeply sad

i will be forever haunted by the barbara kruger piece intricate rituals, where she says "you create intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men" and i think it links with male weepies. the movie genre creates an intricate ritual that allows men to cry openly

Treasure Planet is an underrated male weepy and my personal comfort cry movie. The arc of a young man finding a surrogate father who is proud of him, and an older man being softened and bettered by that respect and love. I always cry buckets at that movie it hits me in a vulnerable place as a man.
I felt seen by this video thank you.

Another interesting example is Rambo: First Blood (1982), co-written and starring Sylvester Stallone. John Rambo is a broken man, depressed, isolated, and suffering untreated severe PTSD. He doesn't want confrontation and violence.
In the closing scene he breaks down, crying and explaining that he never got the treatment and counselling that he knew he needed. That no one would listen to his cries for help, and no one understands his pain.
At at the end, after all of the violence and death, he receives the hug that he's always needed.

One more thing...
Columbo is an underrated example of heroic masculinity

Watching this video made me think of the way the original Lord of the Rings movies deal with similar themes of brotherhood, purpose, men struggling against all odds, achieving something bigger than itself. I'm old enough when people would call these elements of the movie "gay" as a way to dismiss their emotionality but I've seen those movies really hit men hard in the feels in the same way Field of Dreams and Rocky do.

The Holdovers felt like a recent addition to this cannon too, every man I know loved it.
It has everything: male lonliness, career dissatisfaction, abandonment and sacrifice.

Peter Jackson is another filmmaker very tapped into this, especially in Lord of the Rings & King Kong. His King Kong worked largely because it reimagined Kong into an outside threat dangerous to civilization, but also tragic in its loss to making him into the hero & an old-fashioned masculine figure whose tragically unable to figure out how to function in the industrialized world.

As a male in his 30's, at first I kinda bristled at your description of these films as "male weepies". Then I teared up every time you just showed snippets from these movies, even when it lacked film audio lol

A good parallel to Pop Culture Detevtive's "Boys Don't Cry: Except When They Do" video

A lot of the themes and ideas you touched on in this video reminded me of 90s British films ‘Brasssed Off’ and ‘The Full Monty’- both films are about working-class men from industrial towns in the North struggling due to the de-industrialisation of Britain in the 80s and 90s. These films celebrate male friendships and camaraderie through a shared purpose, just like the films you talked about in this video. The ending of Brasssed Off left me sobbing, and The Full Monty is genuinely one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. Two essentials of British cinema 🫶

What makes me emotional watching Rocky or other such movies is the vicarious feeling of victory and a sense of fulfilment. Not in an external sense, but living through the character as he triumphs over oppressive socioeconomic hardship to achieve greatness and do so with a loving partner by his side to share in his glory. I think that is probably a uniting fantasy that men, especially working class men, can buy into in a movie or other fiction, and one that almost none of us get to experience in reality.

An interesting companion video about heroic masculinity when it ~doesn't~ take on a pro-social aim!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKdT_d-_vYs&ab_channel=LikeStoriesofOld
