Tonight I am going to a movie named" The story of Tangshan earthquake" with my husband. I heard that it was a great movie. I also heard that people say " if you did not tear after you watched, you are lower than the animals. " Oh, big pressure on me.

Tonight I am going to a movie named" The story of Tangshan earthquake" with my husband. I heard that it is a great movie. I've also heard people say " if you do not tear up after watching it, you are one emotionless individual.We don't usually say "you are lower than an animal" in english. Its actually very insulting to say that to a person in english. it's usually used when you feel the person is very bad. maybe the person did something horrible. Therefore I changed the word to emotionless individual ( a person with no feelings).
I also added the 口语: tear up. ( sounds like teer up) it does not mean to rip something into pieces that is tear up (sounds like tare up). it means to start crying.
For example: when I hear that song i tear up and my face gets red.
