Film/HM/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

*** Seconded. {{spoiler|Cillian Murphy's face when he looks into the safe is absolutely devastating.}}

** {{spoiler|Mal's suicide. Mostly because of the raw, underplayed delivery of the line "Mal! No! Jesus Christ!"}}

*** YMMV, as many (myself included) believe that the top falls over. The ending is left up to you.

** When Arthur explains Mal to Aridane. The look on his face.... Just hurts...

** The last one was especially wrenching since the Killer didn't even get to say goodbye to his love interest or die in her arms because he's just as blind as she is at this moment and they miss each other when groping for each other while crawling on the ground -- a result of Sally Yeh and Chow Yun-Fat having to shoot on different days during the scene.

* Every single time (not yet King) George struggles to speak in ''[[The King's Speech]]''. And in the scenes when he explains to Lionel that it was his (unintentionally) abusive father and brother and (intentionally) abusive nanny that all helped make him what he is.

** Later:

{{quote| '''Wat:''' 'Sir William Thatcher', that is your name. Your father heard that.}}

* Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of ''[[Mary Shelley]]'sFrankenstein'' has quite a few moments, but the one that got me were the scenes where the creature helps the family and has the conversation with the blind old man only to have it ripped away because the rest of the misunderstanding family. Played beautifully by [[Robert De Niro]].

* The ending of [[The Mask of Zorro]] especially {{spoiler|Diego's death}}

{{quote| Alejandro: "Whenever brave deeds are rememebered, your grandfather will live on."}}

* ''[[Master and Commander]]: The Far Side of the World'' contains a couple. Firstly, as the HMS Surprise is rounding Cape Horn, one of the seaman Wharley is washed overboard whilst trying to secure a flapping sail to one of the masts. As he swims towards the wreckage of the mast, still attached to the ship by it's rigging, it is revealed that the wreckage is pulling the ship under, threatening to sink her and kill all her crew. The Captain Aubrey must make the decision to cut the ropes and sacrifice Wharley to save the ship, doing so along with the Ship's Master, and also Wharley's best friend Nagle. As Jack cuts the last rope and the wreckage floats free, we see Wharley, still swimming, disappear behind a large wave. This is accompanies by Vaughan Williams "Fantasia on a Theme", and made even more powerful as the scene cuts to the rest of the crew below decks celebrating their survival, oblivious to Wharley's death. If you're not teary eyed by now, we then see Nagle sorting Wharley's possetions and shutting them in his sea chest, including a sketch he had done for his sweetheart with the words "Home Again" (there seems to be something in my eye just typing this).
