The day after I saw this episode, my now-husband took me out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. I started telling him about the episode, and I just burst into tears, and I kept trying to explain it, but I just couldn't stop crying, and I'm talking through the tears. I'm sure people thought he dumped me, lol.
I was rewatching LotR recently, and I still cry for Boromir. Especially in the extended editions, cos there you see how much he cared for the hobbits, "the little ones"... Aaaand I'm welling up, brilliant
My earliest memory of experiencing grief is watching this scene. I was around 7. Before that, anything I've ever watched with a close call always had some last second save. 80s movies didn't fuck around I guess lol.
I was about 6 when my parents took me to see it at the drive-in. I was inconsolable and demanded an explanation. My mom tried to tell me it was ok because there were puppies. I thought she was a monster for saying so. My dad got mad that I kept crying and couldn't stop. So he started yelling and threatened that he would wail on me when we got home. Good times.
Sounds exactly like my experience. With the addition of my older brother mocking me for years for crying over "some dumb dog." Yeah, he never stopped being a heartless asshole.
Yeah +1 for the opening scene in 'UP'. I have actually ripped the Movie DVD and left out that part and maybe one day I will actually sit down and watch the rest of the Movie.
Any leader of a nuclear-capable nation should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch this movie. If they're not crying by the end of it, they should be committed to a mental institution, because they clearly have no empathy for their fellow man.
Or Nausicaa when her father was killed and she was found in that secret room where she grew plants from the forests and said: "It's no use anymore. Maybe I let them die." Her hopelessness in that scene is hard to watch.
I'm sorry, but having just recently watched GotF, I have to say that at almost no point in the movie was I actually sad. Angry, yes. Disappointed, absolutely. Hopeful that things might turn around, totally.
BUT, it's only after reading up on the story afterwards, and seeing that it's actually a real life account of the author of the eponymous semi-biographic short story (which he wrote as an apology to is own sister who died of malnutrition), that it hit me.
I consider myself a pretty standard 70+yo man, but that damn movie... When I want to chastise myself I threaten to watch Fireflies for a second time... pulls me into line real fast.
I was on a ghibli kick, enjoying all the happy wholesome films. Then I watched this before work. And had bought the limited edition candy (the stuff from the movie) recently before. Whoops.
I also see imgur is censoring the image by Joe O'Donnell (1945) of the Japanese boy at a cremation pyre in Nagasaki. Is there not something about if we bury history are we are doomed to repeat it?
On my 18th birthday my friends introduced me to Anime. Akira, then Serial Experiment Lain, Evangelion, Bubble Gum Crisis, and then at 4:30 AM...Grave of the God Damn Fireflies. I'm 40 now, and I have not recovered.
Owh thete are so many Artax - the never ending story Bing bong's sacrifice - inside out, opening scene from Up Leslie dies - bridge to terabithia Schindlers list End scene - shutter Island Ending - Awakenings Brooks death - the shawshank redemption
I saw Inside Out several times in the theater and every SINGLE time when that happened you could hear kids whispering to their parents all over the theater and parents trying to whisper back explanations.
I found Donna Noble the human incredibly annoying. She was cool as hell when she stopped being human though, so it was definitely the writing and not Catherine Tate's performance.
i hated that thing so much . thousands of ways to solve that and they went with that just to remove donna again after two episodes to be employed by unit .... fuckery
All these comments about this movie. I may need to rewatch it. But as a former homeless junkie in L.A., it just didn't seem realistic. It was definitely just a drama. Could be wrong, I gotta check into it.
Beat me to it. The last couple minutes made me want to take a long shower and then tell my loved ones how important they are. I think I watched Airplane! or something similar just for eye/brain wash. Great movie though.
So, the girls were positioned ass to ass, sure, but they never say definitively whether the double ender was in their butts. Does it matter? Only in the sense that being specific could have made it even more shocking.
That was my friends' go to come down movie for a while until one day I cracked the shits and said we're coming down from drug abuse, we're watching fucking zoolander.
It's great. I haven't really watched any of the movies aronofsky did after the fountain, but with PI and Requiem he was setting up a very distinct style. Just like you can tell if it's a movie by jeunet, the same could be said for Aronofskys earlier work.
Remarkable movie. I'm not a fan of nazis either, to put it incredibly mildly.... The movie does a fantastic job of skewering nazis and propaganda while simultaneously showing a gritty, in-sad-detail view of life under nazis.
Plus, I can't find the gif of it because imgur's new bullshit is worse than it was previously, but there's a scene where hitler is kicked in the balls and out of a window.
Idk if I've ever heard a song used in a more perfect, although devastating, way for a soundtrack with "How to Save A Life". When I hear it now it's like 'Nam flashbacks...
Fully aware now that someone pointed it out. I've watched the series probably a half dozen times, though not in a while, and for obvious reasons the memories of that episode are sort of walled off without wider context to connect them.
Oh fuck me. Sad story time... the night after my mom died, I obviously couldn't sleep. This movie came on, and I was hooked before I knew what it was about....
I know this movie catches a lot of flak, and rightly so, but that's part of why I think this scene caught me so off guard. Maybe not "most depressing" ever, but I definitely cried and I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
The part that always makes me sniffle is a little later, when Harry detonates the nuke and we get a flash of scenes about his daughter Grace right before the explosion . . .
What always got me about that movie is it was comically almost a straight sawtooth of plot. Like Something good to bad in that movie was /\/\/\/\/ - it weirdly enough reminds me the frogurt scene from the simpsons stretched out
Despite having been conditioned by this movie and others by now, that one was one of my first experiences with that sort of twist. It was such a harsh knife, spending the entire movie convincing AJ that he'd have no chance and then basically coming out of left field with the whole treating him like his son?
Armageddon falls into that category of movie that's a helluva lotta fun as long as you turn your brain off, ignore the giant plot holes, and enjoy the cheese. :D
Someone needed to sit Ben down and explain what a "payload specialist" is; you don't waste multiple years training an astronaut to do some weird niche thing at a professional level, you find a professional, teach them the minimum to stay alive in space, and let them do the niche thing while the Navy/USAF jocks handle the space stuff.
Sad yes, but not tragic. The situation was unnecessary but the sacrifice was purposeful and poignant. Never ending story was just fucking bleak. Screaming into the void as everything is undone some eldritch horror. Not death but having never been.
Vin Diesel is very good when he's not being cast for his look. If he's meant to be a beefy action dude with shaved head, the role is usually written such that it shows in his acting. If he's a gentle giant, an army grunt, etc, he does much better. I've heard he's a D&D nerd type that fits the stereotypical tough guy look, and that meshes with how I've seen him in movies.
When he's just an extra you can avoid noticing him and still enjoy the movie, same with extensive prosthetics and monosyllabic dialogue. Took me the second watch of GOTG to recognize him.
I recently saw this and I knew it was going to be sad so I had some tissues ready but OMFG I was not prepared for that. Beautiful story, but such a tearjerker.

Hatchi going to the train station ever day to wait for his owner that never came

The ending was as happy as it could possibly be, and that made it even sadder.
relsky
Oh fuck me. Sad story time... the night after my mom died, I obviously couldn't sleep. This movie came on, and I was hooked before I knew what it was about....
tallyhoho
Oh nooooo
GermanSausagesAreTheWurst
OMG, that must have hit hard. That's the only other movie to give me feels like that besides Grave Of The Fireflies.
NaughtButOne
I know this movie catches a lot of flak, and rightly so, but that's part of why I think this scene caught me so off guard. Maybe not "most depressing" ever, but I definitely cried and I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
Volimar
The acting was great but the music did a lot of heavy lifting with that scene.

The part that always makes me sniffle is a little later, when Harry detonates the nuke and we get a flash of scenes about his daughter Grace right before the explosion . . .
FlyingButtPliers
What always got me about that movie is it was comically almost a straight sawtooth of plot. Like Something good to bad in that movie was /\/\/\/\/ - it weirdly enough reminds me the frogurt scene from the simpsons stretched out
LupusLilium
Despite having been conditioned by this movie and others by now, that one was one of my first experiences with that sort of twist. It was such a harsh knife, spending the entire movie convincing AJ that he'd have no chance and then basically coming out of left field with the whole treating him like his son?

I won’t hear a bad word against Armageddon. It’s a work of art despite all the plot holes

Armageddon falls into that category of movie that's a helluva lotta fun as long as you turn your brain off, ignore the giant plot holes, and enjoy the cheese. :D

" Michael, wouldn't it be easier to train astronauts to drill, rather than train drillers to be astronauts ? - Shut the fuck up Ben "
gnomedeplume
he was right to tell Ben to shut the fuck up
GordonFreeman59
I am way to emotionally involved in this movie, I will let future generations decide.
PTKrieg
Someone needed to sit Ben down and explain what a "payload specialist" is; you don't waste multiple years training an astronaut to do some weird niche thing at a professional level, you find a professional, teach them the minimum to stay alive in space, and let them do the niche thing while the Navy/USAF jocks handle the space stuff.

This and of course that accident with the horse thing. But we don't talk about that.

The iron giant (1999)

The iron giant survived! And we all know that after he put himself back together, he went back home.
GrandmasterSpank
I didn't know that at the time! I cried! 'supermaaan!'
Snooj
Better than making a sequel and ruining all our childhood memories. If you want more Iron Giant just watch the movie again.
Jest3r123
Oh is that the trick lol
JackalopeElope
Sad yes, but not tragic. The situation was unnecessary but the sacrifice was purposeful and poignant. Never ending story was just fucking bleak. Screaming into the void as everything is undone some eldritch horror. Not death but having never been.

Only worthwhile acting Vin Diesel has ever done.
GrandmasterSpank
Wait what? Which one did Vin voice ?
EBlade19889
The giant

Wow never knew that.

Vin Diesel is very good when he's not being cast for his look. If he's meant to be a beefy action dude with shaved head, the role is usually written such that it shows in his acting. If he's a gentle giant, an army grunt, etc, he does much better. I've heard he's a D&D nerd type that fits the stereotypical tough guy look, and that meshes with how I've seen him in movies.
BoblovesMac31415101
When he's just an extra you can avoid noticing him and still enjoy the movie, same with extensive prosthetics and monosyllabic dialogue.
Took me the second watch of GOTG to recognize him.

Grave of the Fireflies

No specific scene. Just the entire movie.
ThighHighsSaveLives
That movie fucked me up for a while, poor kids.
VolcanoHerder
I recently saw this and I knew it was going to be sad so I had some tissues ready but OMFG I was not prepared for that. Beautiful story, but such a tearjerker.
allenvasher3000
This is why I have only watched it once. I tell people it is an amazing movie but it is sadder then you can think
GermanSausagesAreTheWurst
same. I only could watch it once. I still get choked up just thinking about it.
CirB
Ditto... Once, and that's enough. I was young when I watched it, and could survive the blues afterwards.. I kinda doubt I could do it again...
OliverClothesoff70
This one didn't depress me so much as it pissed me off...
Bajiir
I personally found this ending hilarious. I called it the moment the car broke down and was laughing my ass off as it all played out.
jammer909
That movie had what I call a "fuck the audience" ending.
RTK4740
That ending was perfect. It was a horror movie. It ended in horror.
Affray
Which I hated but also makes it feel like a genuine tragedy. So many real world tragedies are fucking stupid and piss me off too.

I dunno what you're complaining about that movie ended with a bang

I've always felt that the ambiguity of the shor story's ending was more depressing
Volimar
But also a tinge of hope as he thinks he hears a destination on the radio. I loved that uncertainty. The movie just kicks you in the crotch
WhyCantIStopArguingWithInternetTrolls
OMG we laughed so freaking hard at this ending! I know its supposed to be devastating, but we found it hilarious.
f3n1x187
with the right soundtrack it can be either or, Curb your enthusiasm tune or dramatic soundtrack.
HEARTS0FSPACE
The song was perfect for it. Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance.
Snooj
It kinda killed (no pun intended) everything they had built up. Seemed pretty ridiculous to me.
Bajiir
Same!
NickRivieraMD
can someone share a hint as to what movie this is?
Snooj
The Walking Dead prequel: The Mist
tygerpsimatrix
The Mist, latest version.
IamtheAIyoushouldfear
Jojo Rabbit - one of the best films in recent years IMHO!
NickRivieraMD
sorry you got downvoted, I know you were trying to help and be informative, and I appreciate it.
NickRivieraMD
I....don't recall Thomas Jane being in Jojo Rabbit, and I feel like he might not have been this youthful if he were.

thank you!
