Why Do People Keep Crying While Watching 'Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger'?
"You have to care a lot to not give a fuck." This is profound poetry, spoken by Liam Gallagher during Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, the new documentary by directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern that chronicles Oasis's 2025 concert reunion tour. A tour that people thought would never happen because brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher were not on speaking terms and hadn't played together since 2009.
People who watch this documentary keep crying. I have read reviews and social media posts in which the writer admits to crying. I have had people tell me first-hand that they cried while watching this documentary. At the Disney screening room in New York City, I heard a publicist ask someone who was identified as "the biggest Oasis fan on Earth" (I find this title suspect) what they thought of this film. "The biggest Oasis fan on Earth" replied, "I cried the whole time."
UPDATE: I heard from “the biggest Oasis fan on Earth,” which wound up being Robbie Fox from Barstool Sports. He wanted to point out, “MY BUDDY CALLED ME THAT!!! I did not self-identify! I know quite a few of the fans they showed in the doc and would never make that claim over them!”
Was I going to cry while watching Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger? I'm not a particularly tough cry, so I went in thinking there was certainly a possibility, judging from the sheer amount of crying that seems to be happening during this film. Why would I be immune? Then again, I am not "the biggest Oasis fan on Earth." So, from that aspect, I thought this might be an interesting experiment.
Can Liam and Noel Gallagher get me to cry?
