Saddest Movie Scene

Boba Fett · Post by **Boba Fett** » 2003-06-16 07:23am

Saddest scenes:

Saving Private Ryan - When Mrs. Ryan receives the letters from the Army about the death of his sons.

Easy Rider - The end scene when the bikers got shot by two rednecks.

Schindler's List - When Schindler leaves.

Platoon - When the helicopter leaves and Serg. Elias dies.

The Thin Red Line - The whole movie has a very sad "atmosphere".

Stalingrad - The end scene when the two friends freeze to death, while they try to warm each other.

Deerhunter - Need to specify?

Perfect World - The end scene when Costner is dying and speaking to the little boy.

That's all for now but there's many more...

Everytime i watch Han go into carbon freeze, i shed a tear.

"I love you"

"I know"

Interestingly, like many of Harrisons lines, this was improvised. Since Carrie was so wrecked the whole movie, he was getting sick of acting the scene, so instead of saying, "i love you to" he just said "i know." I like "I know" better.

Aww, I loved Milo and Otis so many memories. I watched it again about a year ago and was embarassed to realise I remembered quite a few of the lines.

I think "Gallipoli" is one of the saddest movies I've watched, I shed a tear everytime I see it (which includes during history one time I am ashamed to say). Its all about the music.

THe 2nd helo in Black Hawk DOwn

Band of Brothers has some kinda sad parts (when they go thru the concentration camp, for example)

The end of Saving Private Ryan when Pvt. Ryan salutes Cpt. Miller's grave marker

I don't recall ever CRYING during/after a movie, but some get me kinda almost there. Once, a book did though: The John Jakes series that follows a family from like 1770's to late 1800's (the guy at the beginning is like forest Gump, he meets just about everyone the played a major role in the Revolutionary War). One of those books made me tear up, it was related to a death, but I can't remember who....

Oh, and I'm gonna go start Iron Fist now, thanks for not spoiling all of the story RougeIce!

The Green Mile when they have to electrocute John Coffey, knowing he didn't do it and knowing he had a gift.

I forgot about that one. That may take the cake for me.

Ah, yes. Glory. The scene where they throw Shaw's corpse into the mass grave is very powerful.

Oh, and I was quite sad when the old man is accidently shot in The Milagro Beanfield War.

I'd have to go with Smitty and Pilla there. Particulary because of "Leave No Man Behind" playing.

I remember the "headscarf" scene at the end of the Medic's story. It's been too long though and I don't remember anything else. Well, aside from when the town they just went through a while ago and had everyone so happy, they turn back to see it burning.

No problem.

Titanic. The scene were the elderly couple lies in their bed, waiting for the water to drown them, cuddled together.

What about the ending? I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but I thought that was a pretty moving scene. And a huge blow.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Bigotry all wrapped up in a little gift in the movie, and not even Atticus Finch, the epitomy of good, can thwart it.

Ah, and the Merchant of Venice: Shylock loses everything that he tried so hard to keep at the hands of those he despises, and even his own daughter forsaking him and his religion. In this case, I believe the ending, though it doesn't make it any more fair in my opinion, represents that emptiness and despair that Shylock suffers. In making us never see poetic justice or any kind at all for Shylock, just one last gut-wrenching cry off the scene, it gives us a few of the same feelings. Perhaps the ending was different in Shakespeare's days, but with him required to change it.

No. No mention of BackDraft. I, as a Fire-fighter's daughter, have been told I'm never allowed to see that movie ever again because it makes me sob like a little baby, and I'm depressed about my dad for the next two days.

Now that I think about it "One Bird Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is very hard to watch at the end. Like when the nurse scares the one mental patient into killing himself and when they lobotomise the main character at the end. I hated that damn nurse. And to think that mental institutions used to be like that or worse, too.

Damn... good choice. That is a sad and fucked up movie.

Mad Max 2, scene where the beautiful, beautiful 'Last of the Interceptor V8s' gets rolled and then exploded.

Silent Running, that poor inoffensive little robot gets cast off in a drifting biosphere to spend the rest of eternity wandering about with a watering can.

That scene makes me choke out sobs. It just tears my heart right through my chest. Nothing in any other movie can ever equal the level of heartache that scene causes in me.

Oddly enough, that scene never happened. He was still wanted initially as a war criminal, and so he was just trying to get out as swiftly and discreetly as he could.

These two, well, the first one I don't know if I could say was sad, more like depressing, but the very end of the movie Pi, in which he completely loses it and removes the part of his brain that has the number with a drill, thus killing his mathematical abilities left me sitting there in the dark with that mood of "life is meaningless."

The second one techincally isn't a movie, but because it's one of the few works of the medium that has moved me, the whole scene in Neon Genesis Evangelion in which Asuka is mind-raped by the angel, forcing her to relive EVERY painful experiance that ever happened to her left me choked up to the point where I couldn't go on with the rest of the series for a week.

When Bubba died in Forrest Gump.

Snoopy Come Home.

When Alex loses his love of Beethoven's 9th in A Clockwork Orange.

When Vader got on his knee to speak to Palpatine in TESB.
