Clark Crying

[kostaki00]

Tom Welling seems to be getting better at this whole crying thing.

He blew balls when his mother lectured him after he married Alicia and he was crying...or even when Alicia died.

Then when Lana died, his acting was awesome...especially in the FOS when he was begging Jor El to change it.

And tonight, when he hugged his mom and cried...I was actually moved....
He did such a good job, I actually almost cried myself!

Anyone else agree?

Ummm humm, I cryed right along with him:(, and alittle bit after the whole thing ended, still siting there crying and ruining the moment by me runing away to go call my best friend to talk about it and triping/falling:o..... Well who ever put a dang door in my way, your on my list:mad:

T.W.'s acting has improved so very much since the beginning, it is like he--and Clark--are different men now than they were. I was moved by this last scene. I think these last two episodes, especially this one, have been the best examples of acting TW has ever done.

[ILoveSmallville4ver]

It is true, Tom's crying has improved since the first time he cried on the show. I started crying when Jonathan said "Good bye" on the t.v.


heatvision=CK+CS, find who put the door in your way!

[svsabbiesv]

As soon as I saw the watch! to know Lana looked for it..it started from there...but then to hear Jonathan voice one more time..and that whole bahbye...it was all over for me!!! I would hope that TW would truely be crying for a lost of a loved one from the show and not be just acting.
That just wouldn't be right.
I cried along way after too. Again like I said last week I am not goin to take the end of Smallville too well.

yeah that what killer man! sad times!

[OutlawAngel]

Tom ruled that scene when he started crying. Ripped my heart out.

[TomWfan101]

i couldnt help but cry. :-(

[smallvilleobsessor17]

did you notice that when he first started to cry the one tear came from the CENTER of his eye? I think he used eyedrops!!!!

[daintern30]

I don't think there were no eyedrops. You can tell when someone is really letting go with their heart and when they fake it unless they are really good actor. Tom was bawling....struck me like it was more sadness at losing his buddy Schneider from the show.

[tw190]

No eyedrops, IMO. Both eyes were glossy and the tears looked like they built up so far that they just spilled out rather than a silent cry.

Yep. From reading interviews, it seems TW and Schneider were close off screen as well, so that last scene was probably raw emotion right there. Imagine working with somebody for four and a half years, and then doing that first show without them.:(

Tom Welling was magnificent and from the point of his walking in and seeing the tape and his mom watching to the moment he finally broke down and let his grief out, it was incredible. People still tend to forget Tom is told to play Clark as very stoic no matter what happens and really, I think they go to far with that at times. But last night, he was simply wonderful. When they let him release Clark's emotions, he's just superb. Tom Welling is a wonderful actor and he deserves accolades for last night's performance.

[The Great Ymmij]

I totally agree with everybody. Tom Welling has improved so much in Smallville, acting-wise. I don't usually cry, but I think I felt tears behind my eyes about to burst. Great job guys!!

[the_drifter]

i was crying like a baby so much that right after the ep ended, i had to go back to my program manager (tiVo) and watch an ep of Friends to stop the tears. thankfully, it worked and i was laughing in a few minutes. i am glad that clark broke down though because it showed the legacy that jonathan worked so hard to create while he was alive. he made clark a caring, loving human being and that really came through in the last scene. what i hate, however is how lana goes so far out of her way to make clark smile, then puts up the lana guard. it's so corny and i wish the writer/director would stop making her out to be so stupid!!!!!!!!!!

the Alicia episode.

[margroks]

Clark cried in the pilot, you know. Clark's stoicism is pretty much one of his directed traits. They tell him to act that way; it's not an indication of his acting ability when he doesn't but his reacction in Vengeance was heartbreaking, to be sure. Vengeance was actually more sad than was Reckoning.
