I've Never Sobbed Over A Movie, And I Didn't Expect The New Stephen King Adaptation To Be The Trigger
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Up to this point in my life, no movie had ever made me sob. I'm not a crier, I never have been. However, when the latest Stephen King adaptation was released on the 2025 movie schedule, I ugly cried in a movie theater for the first time ever. That's right, a Stephen King movie made me sob, and I can safely say I never saw that coming. However, after I tell you why The Life of Chuck was the film that made me break down in tears, I think you'll understand why this book-to-screen adaptation was the first one ever to pull this kind of reaction out of me. Spoilers for The Life of Chuck are ahead! Read with caution, and catch the movie in theaters now. Ahead of The Life of Chuck's release, I knew it'd be an emotional journey. However, I didn't expect it to be that way from the jump. This movie does a brilliant job of punching you in the face with a lot of emotions, and for me, it started with fear, anger and melancholy as the world ended during the film's first part, Act III. Before I knew what this world ending crisis actually was, I was sitting there, fighting off tears, as the characters simply accepted that the situation sucked and there wasn't much they could do about it. That feeling of dread and helplessness is one that didn't feel far off from what I felt during COVID or when any major climate disaster happens. Thinking about that anger and dread I felt during The Life of Chuck's first part made me emotional. However, it really got me when I figured out why the world was ending. That melancholic feeling about accepting the world's end, and the anger of doing nothing about it, quickly faded away when I learned why this world was ending. Toward the end of Act III, it's revealed that Chuck, the man on the billboard who no one knows, is dying. So, I quickly figured out that as the power went out and sinkholes appeared on this planet, it was actually Chuck passing away, and this world was in his mind. This idea of a whole universe ceasing to exist when someone dies hit me like a ton of bricks. That's because it's true, in a single person's mind lives an entire unique interpretation of the world, and that is depicted in this film through the town we see that ends when Chuck dies. Then, as the movie went on, this realization grew deeper and deeper as I got to know the man whose light went out. By the end, I wasn't just thinking about him dying, I was thinking about this vast universe going away too that he'd created, and that profound realization made me shed a tear for sure. Every moment involving dance in this movie made me immensely happy. But the one that made me smile the biggest, made me glassy-eyed, was the one involving Cuck and his grandmother in his kitchen. Read More About Life Of Chuck Stephen King Has Seen Tom Hiddleston's The Life Of Chuck, And I'm Intrigued About His Take On The Book Becoming A Movie Realizing that his adoration for dance began with her, and the way they both put their fingers up in a point and ticked their wrist to the beat, is so cute and also deeply meaningful. It became clear to me that Chuck's grandmother helped give him his spark, and she helped teach him how to love life. And my grandmother, my Nannie, did the same thing for me. While we didn't dance, we did jam to music in the car, garden, swim and talk about life together. She was my best friend, and losing her when I was 21 was deeply painful. However, the time I did get with her was magical, and it's impacted my life in the grandest, most positive way. Chuck seemed to go through the same thing in this movie with his grandmother, and that made my heart achingly happy. It made me think about that magical relationship I had and how formative it was. It also made me remember that her life ended too early. But more importantly, it made me appreciate, love and cherish the time I did get with her. As the above sections show, there were a multitude of moments that culminated in the waterfall of tears that came at the end. However, the breaking point was at the very end, when the movie closed with the same words as Stephen King's short story: I will live my life until my life runs out. I am wonderful, I deserve to be wonderful, and I contain multitudes. Obviously, this line is repeated throughout the film; however, it was the mix of Chuck seeing himself on his deathbed and hearing it one more time, and then the story ending right then and there, that hit me the hardest. I think it was a statement and a moment I needed to see. I needed to remember how short life is, and how important it is for me to understand my self-worth, accept myself for exactly who I am, and live my life on my own terms. We're only around for a brief period of time. We deserve to spend that time living it in whatever ways we find wonderful, because we deserve it, and we are wonderful. Truly, what Mike Flanagan did with the brilliant The Life of Chuck was like a magic trick. It's like sleight of hand; while it's presenting this existential, dreadful story at the start, it sneaks up on you and flips into a truly life-affirming and celebratory tale. This movie is life encapsulated, meaning it's equal parts tragic and happy. It also addressed the inevitable head-on – our lives are not infinite, and it's guaranteed to end. I don't know about you, but that's something I don't think about often because it's scary, so having it so directly addressed is emotional. Meanwhile, The Life of Chuck is also a celebration of life and its meaning. Since we're only here for a brief time in the grand scheme of things, we need to do what we love and appreciate all the small and lovely things in the world. To take a page out of Chuck's world, we need to dance. That's why The Life of Chuck made me sob. It made me realize how vast the world is and how small I am. But it also made me realize how big and wonderful I am, too. It had me thinking about the universe I've built in my own head, the people who have impacted me and helped me become who I am, and the tragedy and happiness that comes with all of it. To put it simply, The Life of Chuck made me cry because it encapsulated everything that makes life worth living in a profound, tragic and celebratory way.

Yankees reinstate home run machine after ugly sweep
Oct 14, 2024; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (27) hits a solo home run during the seventh inning against the Cleveland Guardians in game one of the ALCS for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Oct 14, 2024; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (27) hits a solo home run during the seventh inning against the Cleveland Guardians in game one of the ALCS for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The New York Yankees have announced that DH Giancarlo Stanton has been activated off of the IL, as he'll join the team in the Bronx ahead of their series against the Angels No corresponding move has been named as of yet, and the first to report the news was Andy Martino of SNY. Advertisement Stanton was named American League Championship Series MVP last season due to his heroic efforts in their pennant-clinching victory over the Cleveland Guardians in five games. He hit 34 home runs in 128 games between the regular season and postseason, and the Yankees are hoping he can provide a right-handed jolt to a lineup that leads baseball in OPS, wRC+, and HRs so far. Giancarlo Stanton Returns to Make Dangerous Yankees' Lineup Even Better MLB: Texas Rangers at New York Yankees Giancarlo Stanton returns to the offense as the Yankees add another bat who can help their lineup, providing even more depth and power to an offense that's dominated this season. Advertisement Coming off getting swept by the Red Sox, the Yankees are 3.5 games up in the American League East, and are reeling after scoring just four runs in Fenway. With Stanton returning, it creates a logjam between their four outfielders and two first basemen, but Aaron Boone might be slotting Ben Rice behind the plate to try and create more playing time for everyone. J.C. Escarra is making it difficult to keep him out of the lineup rotation as well though; his brilliant framing and excellent work with the pitchers this season has been felt throughout the season. READ MORE: The Yankees have something special in unexpected catcher Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images When he catches, the Yankees' pitching staff has a 2.81 ERA this season, and while catcher ERA is not a reliable stat, pitchers like Carlos Rodon and Will Warren have seemed to take a liking to him. Advertisement It's a good problem to have considering how injury-prone Giancarlo Stanton is, with other players on the roster having some level of injury concern as well. Cody Bellinger has hit the IL in each of his last two seasons, Paul Goldschmidt is in his late-30s, and Jasson Dominguez has dealt with injuries over the last three years as well. Ben Rice and Austin Wells have had injury-riddled Minor League careers as well, so having depth is a great insurance policy in-case something goes wrong. With the offense sputtering in an embarassing sweep at the hands of the Red Sox, Giancarlo Stanton could not return at a better time. Advertisement Related Headlines

Was the NBA title decided last night? Also, the best MCWS performance … ever
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Grab a mebound™ today. In the fourth quarter of Oklahoma City's massive Game 5 win over the Pacers last night, we saw poetry. A screenwriter might get chastised for writing such a cliche moment as the Thunder's turnaround, but to watch it live was awe-inspiring. It felt familiar: I won't dismiss this Pacers team until the trophy presentation proves differently, but it feels like the Thunder may have won the title last night. Conquering the Pacer comeback wave feels like the final breakthrough. Read our full recap of the game here. Oklahoma City can win this on the road in Game 6 on Thursday. Turns out, if we're talking about PR outcomes, yesterday was a bizarre day for Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. Consider: Still in awe at the strange timing. Anyway, I think Ohtani has shown he can still be a two-way superstar, even if he did just pitch one inning. I also raised my eyebrows at this notion: Ohtani could really break Barry Bonds' record for most MVPs. Let's keep going: The best MCWS outing ever? There are gutsy performances, and then there's what Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood did yesterday in an elimination game against Murray State: nine innings, no hits, 19 strikeouts and one lousy walk. The Razorbacks won 3-0, extending their season at least one more day, while Wood produced arguably the best pitching performance in the history of this tournament. It's just the third no-hitter in MCWS history and the first since 1960. Read more jaw-dropping stats about the outing here. Advertisement Durant wants Spurs Kevin Durant has three teams he prefers to play for next, according to a report late last night from The Athletic: Houston, San Antonio and Miami. Furthermore, our report states that Durant is partial to the Spurs out of those options. Minnesota, despite being more successful than those three, appears to be out of the running for Durant for now. The full report is worth a read with plenty more details. Hot dog king returns Joey Chestnut will once again demolish Nathan's hot dogs on Coney Island on July 4, he announced yesterday, after missing last year's contest due to a marketing snafu. Chestnut, a 16-time champion of the Nathan's contest, was barred last year after promoting plant-based hot dogs in an advertisement for Impossible Foods. Full report inside.

The loser of that game gets Arkansas in the nightcap in an elimination game. Lively. 📺 NHL: Oilers at Panthers 8 p.m. ET on TNT/Max Florida can win its second straight Stanley Cup title here … or this series can head back to Edmonton for Game 7 and be in the conversation for best Stanley Cup Final ever. Hm. Get tickets to games like these here. We're going to have a lot of musing in this section today. First up: Brody Miller on U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun, whose incredible winning putt turned competitors into fans. Make time for this today. Also from Oakmont: Brendan Quinn on Adam Scott, the beloved golfer who opened up about his career path in the parking lot after a bad final round. His reflections are worth a read. Jen McCaffrey has a great look inside the final hours of Rafael Devers' time in Boston. Still shocked over this. Advertisement Oh, and the Red Sox better make the playoffs this year, as Steve Buckley writes. The NBA Finals have been electric … on the court. On TV, it's been a lackluster production, as Mike Vorkunov explored yesterday. Interesting view, and supported by the league's late decision to have player intros last night. NBA stars don't want just a shoe anymore. They want ownership of it. Extremely interesting: Former Giants star Osi Umenyiora, who has roots in Nigeria, is trying to inspire the entire continent of Africa to play football. It's working. Most-clicked in the newsletter yesterday: Devers trade grades. Most-read on the website yesterday: The Spaun story from above.
