Brad Pitt has mentioned in interviews that several movies have made him cry, both as a viewer and as an actor, but one he has specifically talked about is very personal. He has said that watching The Tree of Life and other reflective films moved him, but the most widely reported story is that he cried while watching his own film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button during the scene where he ages backwards and says goodbye to his family, because it made him think about his own children and mortality. He has also said that the film A River Runs Through It, one of his early films, makes him emotional. As an audience member, Pitt said he cried at the end of the movie Life Is Beautiful and at the film Babe, which he watched with his kids. In a more recent interview, he said he wept watching his film Ad Astra because of its themes of fatherhood and loneliness, which resonated with his own life. He also mentioned that the ending of the animated movie How to Train Your Dragon made him cry when watching with his children. Like many actors, he is moved by films about family, time passing, and parenthood rather than just sad dramas.
