MissesChrissi Agree, and only those, who ever jumed from anything high know, how "right" was he, in choosing to do that.. - perfect adrenaline jolt for the body and the soul .. which, in general, is the same..
everything not. house didn't pushed off from the edge, so he couldn't make it to the pool and he would definitely ended on the path. but I love it anyway of course.
Greatest scene in the history of this show. Without a doubt. Your mind is racing once he jumps. What is happening here? Then you see House in the water smiling and expressing moments of sheer joy. Can't beat it.
@@cwrichardson3 late reply but i think it's Wilson's reaction bringing the focus from House's mental instability and depression to Wilson's disappointment and fear for him which reminds you of how the decision to end/ruin your life will affect the people who care about you. IDK tho cus i cant speak for the OP
@@cwrichardson3 It is the idea that no matter how bad it gets .. you should just take it easy .. have fun .. do something stupid like jumping in the water 😅
I remember watching this and thinking "NO! He's not going to do it". Then, when he jumped, my heart skipped a beat. When he shouted "CANNON BALL!!!" the feeling of relieve was too intense. Great episode. With 2 very good songs.
Lol. When i watch House, i sometimes think i should change careers and study medicine. But then i realize House is just a tv show and hospitals arent really like that. So ill just stick to my current career...
Still one of the absolute best scenes in any series I have ever seen. First I cried, then I laughed, but when the song slowly started playing again in the end, I lost my smile and got goosebumps. Just everything about this is perfect.
This scene is one and only suicidal House goes on this balcony with only one purpose to jump and die ! But when he climbs for some reason he change his mind He feels something and that stops him and that's why he jumps in the pool . House M.D best series ever made . Change my life .
+cccccnnn maybe...if i remember well, he sees those students partying one scene before that, so he decides to party with them... and something inside me thinks that he just told all of them he was going to do that, because u know, he's House at all. that's my theory :D
+cccccnnn He wouldn't be that stupid to leave Wilson selfishly. He needs him, and being an athiest he firmly believes there is nothing to look forward to if you die.
+cccccnnn He was ready to die. Then he saw Wilson and couldn't let him down like that. So he did what he always does when he's in deep pain - smile, and turn it into a big practical joke!
After his breakup with Cuddy, he wasn't excited in anything, even solving medical mysteries. He wanted to feel the excitement he had, so he jumped from his balcony into the pool just to feel the adrenaline. And it worked. That's why he partied with the other people.
When me and my sister (who is a big House fan) were watching this, we weren't paying attention to what was going on. Then when House stepped up on to the balcony, our hearts were racing. He then jumped and she gasped. But after that, we just pissed ourselves laughing.
First time I saw this seen I was scared shit. but the combination of the scene and the beautiful song makes this for me my favourite scene of all seasons
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I hadn't seen this episode yet but I also haven't seen the show's finale, nor have I read about it because I didn't want to spoil it. I think when House jumped my heart just skipped a beat and for an agonizing second I honestly thought I had stumbled upon the end without knowing it... God. Phew...
We love House for his genius and his frailties ... we fight his addiction along with him. The writers really nailed this one when they accompanied this powerful scene with Gabriel's amazing cover. House argued that we have to raise the bar ever higher as we get older in order to "Feel The Thrill" and remind ourselves that WE ARE ALIVE !
The walk to the balcony,he climbing it, wilson looking for House, the people pointing up,my body is a, the little smile,the jump,the NO ,cannonball and finally House laughing underwater, reborn.The strings on background and the people jumping on the pool,my body is a cage,my mind hold 's the key,House 's mind.Great scene. :3
absolutely amazing scene. the shots, music, slow-motion, content it was.. perfect. I don't even watch House, just saw that chapter while zapping. I think I've found my new addiction..
I'll never forget House... Best show ever! And this scene, when I first saw it, was at first shoking because I thought House was suiciding, but then when he got into the pool I realised it was only to have fun, which was the purpose of the jump... House is crazy and at the same tie the best person on Earth!
errr... You actually didn't get it. It's a is pretty suicidal scene. His life is so shitty he is willing to take random risks and to self-destruct (alcahool, drugs) just to feel a little better
666RicardoDeath Actually, I don't think it goes that way. I think this episode House showed that he desperately needed to have fun, because he broke up with Cuddy. Nothing seemed to entertain him. Then he jumped to the pool, to have fun with the young guys who were there, because the barman said "they were young and had no worries". That's what he wanted to feel. I interpreted the scene this way, probably your point of view is right too.
+Vasco Capela Tavares Suicide always intrigues me. Its forbidden in my faith but Im always curious what tipped people over the edge to do it. When I saw House climb and jump, I couldn't hold back tears and had a stone in my throat feeling. He's hurt inside, no amount of vicodin can relieve the pain.
Watching shows like House & Afterlife makes me feel better. Although they are very depressed and thought provoking, they show me that I am not alone in feeling what I do. ❤
i can relate so much to dr. house... its just that i am not a brilliant doctor... or have money.. or have people that care for me... i am just in pain and miserable
Anyone else get shivers when the violins started and it zoomed straight onto Wilsons face and then a big shiver when he took that first step off? House is genius and Hugh Laurie is a gent of the highest order.
@TheAsymmetrical I'm seriously a big fan of House & this is exactly the best scene I've ever seen on House. Especially the song choice was great. It made the scene even more intense. I was totally speechless when I watched it. It had the same effect on me even I saw it on this episode's re-runs.
house ist die aller aller beste serie die es jemals gab! er ist so wie viele menschen sein sollten! einer der macht was ER will und lässt sich nicht unterdrücken oder beeinflussen!
Paroles - Lyrics: My Body is a Cage (English - Français) Arcade Fire, album Neon Bible - 2007 My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé (x2) I'm standing on a stage Je me tient sur la scène Of fear and self doubt De la peur et du doute de soi It's a hollow play C'est une représentation vide But they'll clap anyway Mais ils applaudissent quand même My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé My mind holds the key (x2) Mon esprit détient la clé I'm living in an age Je vis dans un âge That calls darkness light Qui appelle les ténèbres en lumière Though my language is dead Bien que ma langue est morte Still the shapes fill my head Les formes emplissent encore ma tête I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère Whose name I don't know Dont je ne sais pas le nom Though the fear keeps me moving Bien que la peur me fasse encore bouger Still my heart beats so slow Reste mon cœur qui bat si lentement My body is a... Mon corps est une... Is a... (x8) Est une... My body is a cage (x2) Mon corps est une cage My mind holds the key Mon esprit détient la clé My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage We take what we are given Nous prenons ce qu'on nous a donné Just because you've forgotten Juste parce que tu as oublié That don't mean you're forgiven Ne veut pas dire que tu as pardonné I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère That screams my name at night Qui crie mon nom la nuit But when I get to the doorway Mais lorsque j'arrive à la porte There's no one in sight Il n'y a personne en vue I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love Ils rient quand je danse avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé You're standing next to me Tu te tiens près de moi My mind holds the key Mon esprit détient la clé Set my spirit free (x2) Libère mon esprit Set my body free (x3) Libère mon corps
WHAT THAT HELL ARE YOU DOING? WHAT DO YOU WHEN YOU WIN!!??.... PARTY...!!!! WHAT DO YOU WHEN YOU LOSE!!??......PARTY HARDER!! IT WAS REALLY EPIC...!!! GOD, I WANNA DO THE SAME..!! BUT I CAN'T.....!!!
i remember watching this episode and pausing it right when he was jumping like WTF lol but then glad i finished it. the way it was set up was a perfect mind fudge . you really thought he was gonna try to end it only to turn out to just be house being house. a perfect moment for sure lol its a great moment where the scene and music purposely makes the audience expect one thing only to completely get another.a masterful act of subverting expectations
I remember I had the privilege to watch Peter Gabriel perform this back in 2010 and when I came across this episode shortly afterward, this scene was one of the most shocking I have evr seen.
SPOILER-ISH: I think the actual season finale should have been something with this kind of vibe. A death, either Wilson or House, beautiful emotional music in the background, and then some beautiful words by some of the characters. I like the actual season finale but it's a bit too open ended and cheery. Even though i like that House actually changed and that he defied his own nature, his own words and syllogisms, i still feel like it wasn't merely as powerful as some of the outstanding episodes the series had.
That's what I was thinking when I first saw this scene... I of course didn't know how it would end, but at that time I thought... if this is how they end the show... some people will go ballistic, but they (the show makers) will have been geniuses. In a sad way this would have a fitting dramatic ending to the carousel that house was.
Najlepsza scena jaka kiedy kolwiek w jakim kolwiek filmie widziałem !! Mistrzostwo Świata... Piosenka dobrana idealnie ! Poprostu GENIALNE !!! .. .. ..
great scene, apart from the moment when house screams ' what do you do when you lose?!', everybody is standing on the pool bottom, the same place he had just jumped in from the balcony on the forth or third floor but, nevermind, fucking awesome
