I'm still in denial and I've been continuously writing different endings in my head! I think we should write a petition to give them more years, one child and for the tragedy not to happen on ST. SWITHINS DAY!! I also love it so much as it is though but it hurts!!
Same here. I was utterly shocked and emotional at the ending, the way their lives evolve and the tragic ending for Emma and Dexter. This ending was sk powerful I cried so hard at it
@@hirashafique9757my interpretation is that he asks her if she has any regrets and she says none and then he does have one regret, which is that he should’ve kissed her that day. So in his mind he rights the wrong.
@@lpycb42in the book, it really did happen. It was described by the author as “the sweetest kiss either of them would ever know.” I do like how vague that scene was, so everyone could have their own interpretation though.
Unfortunately Emma’s death had been spoiled for me but it was the line “I’m not being a footnote in the story of your life” is what finally made me burst into tears. She was NEVER just a footnote 😭😭
Is there a support group for those of us who can’t get over this? Heart achingly beautiful.. ugly crying every time I watch this and I keep on watching it..
I love the way that last 5 minutes or so were edited. As if he is watching their story begin in front him while knowing by memory how it all unfolds. The love he felt because it happened but the regret it didn't happen sooner. The song also felt near euphoric. 10/10
Knew my first girlfriend from when I was a little kid. She became my girlfriend when I was 14. She died when I was 19. I’m 32 now & haven’t been in love since. I miss her so much and this scene really hits home. Miss you everyday Princess xx
You have to move on. She would not want you to be stuck on her for so long. Just because you fall for someone else it doesn’t diminish the love you felt for her.
@@lpycb42 It’s not that I’m not open to meeting other women. I am. It just never works out & I never end up feeling anything for them. And at the end of the day, I can’t force it if it’s not there.
"I thought I lost you" 😭 Has a whole different meaning when Dex thinks back to this memory after he has 😭 although he will always find Em in his loving thoughts and heart. Also, the passion in the kiss on the steps is super romantic!
That would mean the hair tie was over 20 years old? Maybe she wore red in homage as when Dex points out where he met Emma, Jas gvs a sad little smile and leans into her dad a bit more. ❤💔
The fact that the lyrics say « Listen, echoes of your home, listen » adds something even more special to the meaning of that moment, the memories, and what she meant and will always mean to him.
The kiss is everything. However, if there's a person who once loved and found love again it's me. I lost the one I thought was 'the one'. I was too late to tell him I loved him. I grieved for years, but then... I found this amazing man, who makes me laugh and who knows me throughout. I will never take him for granted. I love him and he healed me. If you feel like you can't get over someone, just wait. It will happen and one day you will be so happy and you will forget about the grief that you thought was love. I promise you this. Never be afraid to love. Don't be afraid to hug him, to laugh with him... Don't be afraid to cry, when he holds you. Don't be afraid to kiss him in the rain, to have adventures with him, to live this ordinary life with him you were scared was boring. Don't look back. Love him. That's all there is to know.
I found the love of my life! He died 7 years ago. I live in those 10 years we had in my dreams at night. I exist by day- fearing I will never be whole again! But reading this gave me hope. He wasn’t the footnote in the story of my life- he was my life and now perhaps I should dare to live again! Thank you ❤
ugh the more i watch this scene, the sadder i get! it's the song im telling you! THE SONG!! it blends so perfectly with the scene it moves me to tears 😭😭
Thanks for posting! One of my favorites along with the midnight maze scenes. I couldn't stop sobbing after this. The way that Dexter smiled and said "agreed" shows that he didn't believe anything she said. That's why he chased after her to get her contact info and to give her his number. And so the story unfolds.
Finished this 3 days ago and still can’t get it out of my mind. Heart wrenching and I liked how the ending sequence was Dex reliving the first time they met. “I’m not being a footnote, in the story of your life”
1:34 looking back at Arthurs Seat multiple times and then calling Jaz to walk forward makes me think that he's found stability and acknowledging his grief in the healthiest way possible for him. Dex smiling on the steps thinking of their kiss shows that he is comfortable with the eternal memory of Emma and stable enough to move forward with his life, imo ❤💔
oh god thisssss him smiling on the steps got to me, he was able to finally look back on the memories and remember them for what they were, that he loved and was loved.
it's the way he looked back at Arthur's Seat with the music playing, that makes you feel that he is moving forward but will always have Em in his heart 💔
I kept on reading all the comments on every interviews, posts, commercials reviews and everything about this series to convince myself that I AM NOT ALONE having this aweful feeling after I have watched the series 2 week after! 😢😢😢 The sad feeling remains forever! I am totally heartbroken! Jeez!
Who would have thought...brilliant acted and portrayed characters. Different paths and emotions. But this scene...the music...what could've been. Beautiful show.
I don’t want to break your heart even more because mine’s shattered too, but in the book he actually kissed her before parting ways and it’s not what could’ve been, it’s what actually happened. And it all sort of makes sense and makes it all even more tragic.
This entire series just completely broke me, Dex truly loved her and she truly loved him, it took so long to finally find eachother only for it to be brutally taken away and this scene just completely broke me, Dex has gotten over it but it will be a scar on his heart forever, the whole series blew me away
The second half of episode 14 got me crying like a baby. Even watched it twice in a row, 'cause I wasn't ready for all the emotions. In fact, I'm still not able to deal with it. Can't get enough of their love story. Can't get over all the sadness. And I had already seen the movie years ago. Thought the series wouldn't be a big deal. They proved me wrong.
The one film that stands out to have made me cry my eyes out was marley and me. This has now topped that, I balled my eyes out. I work in construction and spoke to all the lads on site and we all admitted it destroyed us and we were in tears 😂
2:33 such a beautiful moment where a split decision can make or break your life. Palpable true love between them even on the first day. That moment previous where Dex is reminiscing of what could have been. Never let the person you love go…just tell them
Are you implying this kiss never happened and he’s just wishing he would’ve kissed her? Because in the book, it really did happen. We just didn’t get to see this scene until now. The author described it as the ‘sweetest kiss that either of them would ever know.’
@thin8160 it makes more sense that this kiss didn't happen, imo, because it's more in agreement with the later events: her stay at Dex parents house, where nothing happens between them, their vacation together where again nothing happens despite the tension. Seems more logical that this is Dex's "what if" moment.
I cant recover from this. I cry my eyes out and I still get back to watch it again. And again. And I cry and cry and cry. The whole series was fantastic. How it all started, the years passing by, the energy of being young, the love, the adventures, the growth, the ups and downs, their special moments through the years when they were reuniting. Each one was the light of each other's soul. The love of their life. Their whole life it was them. Them. They grew together!! And then this ending where he remembers eveyrthing while going to the same places with his daughter, where he had the first beautiful moments with Emma. The love of his life. So painful to watch the ending. It reaches to your inside and rips your heart out and then squeezes it for some more pain. 😭😭
It’s way past my bedtime and I told myself I’m only gonna watch the last 10 minutes of the episode (it was episode 13 what a mistake) I just came here to get some support from the comments so unbelievably painful I’ve been crying for like half an hour now This is not fair and MY HEART IS BROKEN
Beautiful scene..fabulous acting all through the series. A coping mechanism for anyone like me who feels heart broken. Watch this a few times and you begin to understand Dexter has reached the point of having happy memories instead of sadness. Looking back in time with a smile. Suggested by his dad when he lost mum. Jazz will be an amazing distraction for him. Also watch a few interviews with Leo and Ambika post filming..kinda makes you feel they are still together..
I’m going to be honest - when I started watching this show, I wasn’t too keen on these two as a couple. But it got so much better as it went on and I ended up sobbing hysterically in the last episode, and I never cry at TV shows. It’s so beautiful and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever recover from this ending 😢
Can't get over it. This entire show has been one of the most raw I've seen. While the relationship in itself may have been toxic in many circumstances, it's clear they loves each other and nothing in life is perfect. The ending is next to near sickening.
It really is the most beautiful ending they could have come up with. The music, the way Dexter holds her, the memories… Everything blends in a truly perfect scene. Thanks for uploading it ❤
I honestly thought that the ending was going to be that she ends up marrying someone else and they never get together. I never in a million years thought it would be this. I have not been well since I finished this show.
The series took a few episodes to find its footing for me, but I was not prepared for way the final scene to just sledgehammer my emotions the way that it did. Dexter returning to those steps and imagining how things could've worked out so differently with Emma is just heartrending.
That kiss at the end wasn’t his imagination. In the book, it was real. We just didn’t get to see it until the end in the series. It was described by the author as ‘the sweetest kiss either of them would ever know.’
I have never, ever, ever sobbed this much during a show. It’s unbelievably sad, the last episode. It’s strange how is life, when everything gets great and everyone is happy, things tend to go downwards unexpectedly. They could have been married and got a baby😢and it just crumbled like a piece of paper… and Leo has to get some award for his excellent acting. That man made me cry so many times and the way he expresses emotions is just so heartbreaking. This show is fantastic🩶
I've seen the movie some time ago, but..... still have that feeling, that is the best movie I saw from long time, still touching me soul so deep that when I listening the song nothing else is matters :(
It’s fucked up when you lose your lover rapidly, when things are going great for you. There is no way to unfall for them. At least I don’t know any. They will always stay great, they can’t hurt you, they can’t do anything to push you away. They literally stopped existing and you love them anyway. How could someone compete with that?
I don't like watching Romantic Series or Movies im just not into Romance. But I heard so much of this i had to watch it. And now I'm Shattered. Unable to move on from this 😢
It was soooo frustrating how obvious they loved each other from thr start but never ever did anything about it for way too long only for it to end tragically. That was the worst edging of my life 😭
Who ever select this song for the ending scenes made the greatest choice, can't get every part of my head😭😭😭...most especially at the Arthur seat😢, what a remembrance💔
Me and my wife watched the entire series together....at the end i grabbed my wife and just held on to her made me appreciate her even more...remember guys to always love while you still can because you never know one day you will lose it.
I know the writers' purpose may be different but I'd like to think that the kiss on the stairs never happened in reality. Is just Dex wondering what would have happened if they didn't waste all that time and the opportunities they had to get together sooner. Even more heartbreaking
No, they never kissed on the stairs. That's just Dexter thinking what he should have done... and yes, it just breaks your heart like it's meant to as well. Sometimes you'll never get a second chance to do it right.
Apparently, if you read articles about it, that kiss happened. They didn't intentionally show it to the audience for that payoff at the end. But it's cool that there are different interpretations, too.
Not sure if I read the ending correctly but throughout the series he ascended while she declined then she ascended while he declined, the ending of him walking up the steps was him starting to ascend again
I think it was perfect the way it was. In a way, him remembering all the times they had, the moments, was his way of "you won't be a footnote". That's the thing, she never was. And will never be.
I read an article stating they had acted out two scenes for this. In one scene after he remembered her saying the footnote line, he looked back at Arthur’s seat and said “you were the story.” Ultimately, they decided to go with this scene instead.
Oh God just when I thought I am slowly revovering after watching their interviews... then i stumble on this...When she say i will not be a footnote... and it cuts to his 40 yr 😭😭😭
I fucking hate that ending, though I think it gets the point across much better than a potential happy one. If you met your soulmate, which I feel like happens only to some lucky ones, not to everyone, then cherish every single minute with them. It also means that you open yourself to unimaginable suffering if you lose them, but it's still worth it.
I watched this 5 days ago, and i bawled im still shattered😢 overall it was a great movie, emma never stopped loving him and its unfortunate that dexter didnt love her from the start and realises shes his soul mate at the end...
