Ah well, I fail to see the humour in some big guy crying...sorta. I've seen the movie now 22 times (!???). On a few occasions, I have sat and watched the audience during the scene of Gandalf's Fall, and the Departure of Boromir, and a fairly large percentage of people, male and female, young and old, are wiping tears from their faces. Not that I am some kind of voyeur, but I wanted to see if <I>my</I> reactions were weird compared to others'. I too had tears coming down my face when Gandalf fell, and just as they were stopping, Galadriel says 'he has fallen into Shadow.' Started right up again. And I am one of those 'stiff upper lip/men don't cry' type of men.
