Wow. I have some similar questions... when you find out he's a ghost at the end of The Sixth Sense, are you relieved or horrified? And Norman Bates' mother-skeleton, does it make you scream or laugh? And Rosebud... a sled? seriously?

it's not like rudy or hoosiers or remember the titans, where you know as a man that you're supposed to cry like a baby.

My comment had more to do with your stark lack of Spoiler Alert. It's a great film, now ruined for some folks.
