I can see the path before me, tears streaming down my face, the words echoing in my ears, "Jamis was my friend." By seeing it, I make it inevitable.

I never got the whole Rohirrim thing in LOTR. I remember when the movie came out and people were saying how much they liked that stuff and I couldn't figure out why. It was like they were building it up to be some kind of important thing but instead they spend 90 minutes of the second movie that basically just amounted to "yeah lets go help them fight". I wasn't sure why I was supposed to care about any of those characters at all, it felt like something from another movie or that they were padding the runtime. And yes, I've read the books, but it never felt like it was THAT much of an outstanding thing. Just some people who liked to ride horses, nothing much else about them to say about any of them. Whoop de poo poo.

Pennywise the Frown posted:And the Starship Troopers Klendathu drop is just so intense. The music, the fear, the terror, the uncertainty.... it's just bonkers. Too much for me to take. At the 3 minute mark when they start to touch down is when I lose it normally. Seconding this. I watched the movie when it first came out and I was like 5. Blowing up bugs was awesome. Watched it as a teenager with an understanding of satire. Laughed at the nazi fucks getting ripped apart by bugs. Watched it as an adult. I feel loving horrible for everyone involved in this goddamn catastrophe. They didn't have to be there. They just wanted to have kids, or find a purpose in life. Now they're being thrown into a grinder and yeah it's loving hilarious when the newscaster gets snipped in half by an arachnid but it's also awful because none of it had to happen if these poor, dumb idiots didn't live in a fascist society where they're told to die for a cause that's not worth their lives. Felt something similar with the last fight as well, where Watkins goes down and it's this heroic/tragic/ironic sacrifice where he embodies the doomed-to-die fascist ideal but he stays behind to save his friends more than anything else. But he can't even bring himself to say that. He doesn't die as a hero, or die saving his friends. He's just trying to kill some bugs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuRjF9cn3SI Like, this movie is incredibly goofy and ridiculous and over the top and the acting isn't always very good. But everybody is so sincere and the actors who aren't aware of Verhoeven's style are completely earnest while the older actors who've worked with him before still put in great performances. It's insanity but entirely human insanity. On a similar track of "society demands we conform and commit horrible deeds", the ending to Jin-Roh gets me. English or Japanese, Fuse and Kei's last scene is just heartwrenching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzDoMVRy6Lw And then just slams into the credits and plays you out with this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpVNNC52Q_o Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Mar 14, 2023 |

Theoden knows that riding to Gondor is riding to the end. There's no guarantee that they'll win. They go anyways because it's the right thing to do. And that's enough.

The scene in October Sky at the end after Homer Hickham Jr explains to his dad that while Wehrner Von Braun was a role model, his father has always been his hero. Then during the movies final launch, his father shows up and they give him the ignition button to launch the rocket on the pad. -happy tears The scene in Freak the Mighty where Max starts running after the ambulance through the snow because Freak told him he was getting a new body. Freaks birth defect prevented his body from sustaining his heart any longer. The special unit that Freak tells Max is going to give him a new body, it turns out to be a laundromat. -insanely sad tears

I remember seeing Life as a House in the theater I worked at at the time because I wanted to see Hayden Christiansen in a movie before the Star Wars movie came out. I saw it by myself (I did that a whole lot while working there) and got really high beforehand. All I remember is balling in the theater like a baby. Also I remember Hayden being super whiney and I didn't like him. I haven't seen it since nor do I know what it is even about.

When Rose is on the lifeboat being lowered into the water and she looks up at Jack and decides she'd rather die with him than live without him and jumps back onto the Titanic and they have that big reunion and it's a super sweet scene right before all the really scary, chaotic bullshit happens.

The opening to Arrival https://youtube.com/watch?v=_B850mT9zy0&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE Like yeah, cheap pull of the heart strings , child dead But gently caress me, just compress a lifetime of pathos into 2 and a half ish minutes with some poignant music and I'm bawling like a toddler "Come back to me" gd then you get to the end and realise it was a flash forward that the protagonist is timey-wimey bound to live out and savour all the moments that inevitably lead to the their child's death JFC sci fi tear jerker AF

Superman destroying the World Engine/Perry comforting Jenny, Man of Steel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSjI7gwuKtg I'm a big sucker for heroic life-or-death struggles, and in this sequence we get two varieties simultaneously: Superman is being crushed by the gravity beam of the World Engine, while Perry, Lombard and Jenny from the Daily Planet are about to be killed by its counterpart in Metropolis. Superman is of course struggling mightily against the immense force pressing down against him, but all of the pathos comes from the action in Metropolis as Perry and Lombard try to free Jenny from the rubble. It becomes clear that they won't be able to pry her free before the next wave crushes them, and in an act of supreme empathy and humanity Perry turns and holds her hand, comforting her in what they are both sure are their final moments alive. And though they're separated by a world, this simple act of compassion seems to inspire and empower Superman to break through the withering force of the gravity wave and destroy the World Engine, and that's when the water works start.

Bill Murray futilely trying to save the old homeless man in Groundhog Day is a major tearjerker. It’s also critical to his transformation in the movie because it’s when he realizes he isn’t God, or even a god, in spite of his speech in the diner earlier in the movie.Jestery posted:Arrival spoilers: The author of the original story, Ted Chiang, is great. I intensely recommend “Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom.”

I assumed she told him their daughter was going to die and he couldn't handle being around. She tells her daughter that while she's still alive so he 100% left before she died. edit: I think I misread what you said. she knew even before the daughter was born and still never said anything Pennywise the Frown fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 14, 2023 |
