Probably she left when she opened the door and beyond that everything is his near death hallucination. You know he did not levitate in front of her to the heavens for sure. And there was too much emphasis by the director on that door opening by her. And for having a heart attack and never be able to stand up on his own not just walking he seem to be doing it somewhat easily all at once.
Actually this got me thinking because you can also hear the sea and the waves, the wind, his fondest memory with her daughter. But you can also hear it briefly when Liz leaves but its very heavy when Ellie opens the door.
That last part when he looked into the camera and went, "I'm the Whale, Ellie." before he died gave me chills. He truly deserved best actor for that line.
Pay close attention throughout the movie it is dark outside. Despite Charlie's positivity his life is embroiled In total darkness. It is constantly raining. Shows in the windows, whenever the door opens. But in this moment when Charlie's dying, hes truly connecting with his daughter for the first and last time. She opens the door to leave when the sun and bright light illuminates them. The light, with this moment frees both of them. Ellie is Ahab. Ahab spends his life hating, hunting and wanting to kill Moby Dick for the whale taking his leg. Ahab will do whatever it takes to see the whale perish. Put his crew in harm's way, risk their lives. It doesn't matter. Ellie feels her father abandoned her, destroyed her family for selfish reasons. She is continually bitter and mean to Charlie. She berates him. Insults him. Posts photos of him making jokes about him dying. Tells him more than once to "just die". Ellie originally thinks Charlie is Ishmael because he was gay and Ishmael was too who also went to church with his lover but she was wrong. Charlie is Moby Dick. He was just living his life following his heart and he hurt his daughter and tore apart his family in the process. He was just a force of nature, as we all are. After he lost Alan to suicide; Like his eating disorder, he let what mattered most go too far from him. Love is blinding. He became so estranged with Ellie and she resented him for it. Ellie, like Ahab wanted the whale(Charlie) to suffer and perish, to feel what they did for hurting them. When that light shines in, she's no longer Ahab, and he's no longer the whale. She's his daughter and Charlie is her daddy.
He lives his whole life for her… it is so fitting, that THE SECOND he sees her smile back at him, a genuine loving smile, he can let go of everything. So damn beautiful
Charlie also did one LAST selfish thing. By giving his daughter the failing essay, he may have damned her to summer school or something like that… but he made her emotionally complete for the GD rest of her life. Given she might still have some issues to work through, but he gave her closure
@@sampage7775 “damned her to summer school” lol it’s summer school not prison. that was her own fault for not doing her work, not reading what her dad gave her, and having her dad write it to begin with
When it was revealed that the excerpt he read to calm himself down was a text from his daughter it hit me really hard. I started crying and didn't stop until the end. What a beautiful scene.
He doesn't read it to calm himself down... He reads it because he wants it to be the last thing he hears before he dies. This shows us how close to death he is throughout the movie
As a father with (an only child) daughter, I identified deeply with Brendan Fraser's magnificent "Charlie" when he tells his daughter, "You are the best thing I have ever done!" Like Charlie, I have made terrible mistakes, have failed, and am tortured by regret. Like him, I love my daughter more than life itself. She is perfect.
Please dont give up on a relationship, my dad never contacts me, maybe he feels like you, (I hope) I would love to talk to him, but I have no way of contacting him. Hopefully she waiting for you to make the first move. 💗
The symbolism of the ending is perfect, befitting the title of the film. The floating part symbolizes his guilt being lifted. The walking to the open water symbolizes a beached whale being free. Cinema is a visual medium, unlike print. So the director chose a visual allegory to convey how he feels when his persistent guilt is lifted. His saying to his daughter that his guilt is lifted doesn’t have that cinematic flare. Showing his whole body lifting off the ground would make it look like he’s a Jesus. That may even confuse some audience into thinking he is Jesus. So a compromise is just showing his feet.
I've stood on the Oregon coast myself (I've never lived there) and just let time pass. I've also done it in Vancouver, BC but there was slightly more people, lol.
@@Yoriichi_Sengoku That's true. Dead people don't. And, in his case, he felt no guilt while he was alive, either - or else he would have chosen not to croak right in front of his daughter abandoning her and traumatizing her further! Thank you for raising that point because it only shows that his desire to inflict pain on her was intentional!
All while completely ignoring the fact that in that moment that poor girl had to watch her father fall dead at her feet. But hey, at least she has $120,000 to pay for the therapy she's going to need for the rest of her life.
Man when he relapses(?) and starts eating pizza in a frenzy the music made it so as if i was watching a giant whale battle with the waves during a thunderstorm
@impossibleduck3681 lol facts, she was better in Stranger things and in that was average. Some people just have lower standards for acting in movies especially when they're used to watchimg older or low budget indie films and actors, the average ones begin to look like superstars lol
I'm just so glad that Brendan Fraser is back in the spotlight. Not only has he honed his craft to become one of the best actors of our generation. He is just a sweet man who deserves all the praise he gets.
I watched the Academy Awards for the first time in years all the way through praying he would win that Oscar. He deserved it so much, he’s had a hell of a ride, and I’m so happy to see him back and getting all the recognition he deserves.
“You didn’t deserve that, how could I have done such a thing” is what I’ve been waiting to hear from my dad for 22 years, seeing this in the theatre had me bawling
This but my mom for the last 15 years. Abandoned me and my family when I was young through a divorce. Was mean, vindictive, selfish, and narcissistic. Cheated, lied, and emotionally abused us all. She died a month ago from addiction to alcohol and opioids. Overdosed. Haven't talked to her at all in years. I saw this movie and was crying almost the entire time. I always held out hope that I would have a moment like this, where she would call me over to her awful, messy place and actually acknowledge what she had done to me and my family. What she had done to herself, acknowledge that she had made so many mistakes and that she was coming to realize she was killing herself, and she actually wanted to reconcile. But she died. I really appreciate that this film exists, and they didn't pull punches. Thank you to Brendan, Darren, and everyone involved with this masterpiece. It is a masterpiece to me, perfectly captures a slice of life that a lot of people who are critical of this film don't even understand is a thing.
As the daughter of an alcoholic who saw his father die, this movie hit me right in the heart... It was dificult to watch but i don't regret this masterpiece... To all of you Who are dealing with addictions... Be strong, stand up, seek for help. I know my dad loved me and he was sick i just wish he has changed his life earlier but at least i know he is in peace now.
I understand this very well. My dad died from booze, strokes and heart issues. So I get witching your dad pass in front of you slowly... this movie hits hard.
@@scrotum8660 I'm sorry to hear about your situation but let me tell you that you are the only one who can change, nobody can do it for you... We tried to help my dad multiple times but only when cirrosis and cancer came he changed... You can still change the path of your life 😊 if you need someone to talk to fell free to reach me.
@@blancapita-romerofreire5334 Please ignore my account name this was made years ago, thanks a lot for the messages as you can imagine I was drinking wine when I sent that and have a bottle with me now, the problem is it isn’t majorly affecting my life, I work and study etc with no issue but I can’t remember not being drunk
When she finally break out of that hate that was molded from the lack of having a father, and says “daddy please” I broke down like a baby! What an emotional scene. The lights came back on in the theater and I was still crying, what a great movie
@@tier1solutions28Yeah what kind of a parent makes their child kill them because the parent can't live with what they haven't done for their child because it affects the child in ways outside their control, so they make the child regret being different and forever mark them by making them do something horrible. What a fat lazy whale.
@@philippecuenoud2949 ah ta gueule! C'est a propos d'un homme obèse morbide... Brendan n'aurait jamais mis sa vie a risque a ce point-là... Il était un peu gros mais pas suffisament...
@@philippecuenoud2949 Good for you, but Brando isn't alive anymore, now is he? Do you think Brando got to where he was by just being epic? He didn't get that way by having it handed to him. Like Brendan, he had to struggle through pain and hardship to be hammered into the best version of himself. So stop judging, we're all works in progress. Have a beautiful day.
This movie was powerful for me as an addict. Brendan’s face when he ate the candy was so accurate. Especially if you get to a point where you know it’s killing you but you can’t stop.
After this movie, I vowed that in the new year, I was gonna get my shit together, double my workouts, and move on from all my life tragedies, and I have been doing exactly that
Sure... Let's glorify loser state of mind and choosing to do nothing instead of trying to overcome difficult periods and personal problems, even by seeking help. What happened to true, inspirational and uplifting message? *We are becoming a society of "victims" and losers!*
The moment she smiles, he begins to ascend. He can pass in peace knowing he was able to give that little bit of hope to her before he went. Very emotional moment.
The moment he lifted off the ground, he was gone, sadly, he used his last ounce of strength to to be strong in front of his daughter before he died, and he knew he would by doing so. From a father's perspective, this is incredibly heartbreaking to watch.
I was already crying, but “daddy please” literally made me whimper out loud in the theater. What an insanely emotional ending. Had to sit for a while during the credits to compose myself
Got me more than half an hour AFTER credits to just start saying something. What masterpiece and what incredible performances. No super powers , no special powers....just human emotions....
The fact he is suffering during the whole movie and yet he still has a heart of gold makes the ending more satisfying and emotional. I was the only one in the whole theater who was crying (I dont know why)
I watched it with my family at home (i al the youngest and i al 16 years old) i usually never cry when i watch movies with them no matter how emotional it is because they are going to make fun of me, i tried to hold my tears in this scene but i couldn't i just started crying loud. This movie is just so powerful
He had this "heart of gold" because he felt guilty for his actions. You wouldnt say this when he dumped his ex wife and daughter, and only tried to reconnect when he was dying, for selfish reasons.
“You didn’t deserve that” Waited all my life to hear that from my father. Took 35yrs. Had the chance to finally see him in 2018 but sadly all the questions I had prepared for that exact moment didn’t happened as he was in a wheelchair, couldn’t speak. When he looked at me he cried. I didn’t know if those tears meant that he was sorry. I cried. I’m my mind at that time after seeing him was “well, karma did its thing. He deserved that”. But then, part of my brain felt sorry for him. Still the feeling of abandonment after 35yrs lingers in me. I don’t think I’ll ever get over that. Forgiveness and to learn to let go they say, but it’s always easier said than done. First and last time I saw him.
Somethings in life is best kept the way it is, without any thought about it. There is no fruitful outcome in overthinking about broken relationships or regrets. He made his choice and had to learn the consequences. Nature is always unforgiving and fair.
I watched it twice in theaters and I never heard the score until the second time and once I heard it I really felt every last emotion. The score that comes right before Charlie dies and what follows right when the credits come in feels so fulfilling and tragic at the same time. In a way it feels as if the goal was to get to a point but at the same time that’s not just the stop but the end for you. Truly a beautifully done ending.
Sure... Let's glorify *loser state of mind* and choosing to do nothing instead of trying to overcome difficult periods and personal problems. What happened to true, inspirational and uplifting message? *We are becoming a society of "victims" and losers!*
I was completely in shock when I found out this soundtrack wasn't even nominated! I can't remember the last time I've heard something that so beautifully and perfectly submerged me into the story. Everything was so excellent in this film that for me every person involved deserved a prize.
I honestly never cried watching a movie like I did watching The Whale. Watching him struggle to reconnect with his daugther in his final days just hit me in the right spot.
I feel identified with this film as someone who once considered suicide. "The Whale" is an ode to the power and strength of the human spirit even in the face of life's most hopeless circumstances. When all is lost, the smallest and simplest things are sometimes the ones that give us the hope necessary to stay alive
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this scene now and it has never failed to make me weep. It's probably the most beautiful and the most tragic movie scene I've ever had the privilege to watch. Brendan Fraser has proved himself one of the greatest actors of all time. Amazing, simply amazing.
@@tristanpflughoft8911 Almost 40% of “critics” gave it bad reviews and it didn’t get a best picture, director or screenplay nomination. I think that’s what they mean.
There's so many ways to interpret the ending of this film, which, combined with Brendan's performance is why it totally deserved the award. The way I personally portray it- yes, he was able to finally see his daughter smile with him and passed away the moment he got that satisfaction and a sense of genuine acceptance.
@moonlightbae That's a bit more depressive: reminds me to the interpretation that Indiana Jones dies after nuking the fridge and that the rest of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of thr Crystal Skull is hallucinations he experiences while dying.
@@twstudios8538 Yup, but maybe they change their minds once Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny releases. Hope it doesn't retcon Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It would be such an immature way to appease those haters.
I watched this movie alone in the theater and cried so hard. I still cry thinking about it. I wish that there were more people around me to see it because I felt like a lonely, sad whale in there by myself, but I am relieved that no one heard my cries at the same time. The flashback to his feet hitting the ocean water kill me. A memory he held onto until his last breath, I truly love this film. There is significant beauty to it. Thank you Brendan Fraser, Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton, Ryan Heinke, and Sathya Sridharan for being apart of this phenomenal performance.
Marvel really nailed it with this film. Really loved the origin stories of how Charlie gains his super power at the end although it kinda sucks that it’s left us with a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for The Whale 2.
I felt like such a mess when the credits started rolling, couldn’t believe how fast the movie went, that ending still sticks with me now after watching it last night, I couldn’t stop crying
I felt the exact same. When I was finally done sobbing I just sat and stared at the wall for a few minutes in silence to absorb it all. It's been a long time since I've been affected by a film like that.
I don't really cry at movies but I got my whole family together to watch this and every single one of us, me included, was sobbing uncontrollably at the end
Same here. The whole movie had me crying a times because of the rawness of so many of its scenes. But it was the ending that completely broke me. I just laid there and cried uncontrollably after the movie ended. It is comforting to know I'm far from being alone in this
3:06 - "Daddy please!" Absolute tears. When we couldn't get a real moment from her; when we were dying to have Charley's daughter just level with him for just a moment, these two words, exclaimed through a raw, real, and deeply emotional delivery by Sadie Sink, earned every second of viewing this film! This is Darren's signature sign-off telling the audience that he knows he's put you through the emotional ringer, but he's gonna leave you with this last pinch of hope that will make the past 2 hours of sadness worth devouring - and boy does it work PERFECLTY. This is why you should never underestimate Darren Aronofsky
@@Ivosferatus Let me guess he has a heart attack at the end, falls on top of her while standing in front of her and crushes her to death with his weight! She should have walked out and left him there while she had the chance!
If you haven't seen the whole movie yet, then better do not watch this first. It's the build-up towards this very strong ending scene that makes it so much more powerful and emotional. Having seen the entire movie before this scene will give you so much more shivers, tears, compassion and sympathy towards Brendan Fraser's character than just watching the ending scene by itself. Just do yourself a favor and go watch this movie as a whole. Absolutely brilliant, and a well-deserved Oscar for Brendan Fraser. Sadie Sink is also awesome in this movie, she is already a big star now, and I'm confident that she will rise to stardom even more in the coming years...
He was actually very selfish in the past; he just acted nice because he didn't wanted to hurt anyone anymore and felt like he didn't deserved anything but punishment.
@@maxobb7259 Did we even watch the same movie? One of the major themes throughout the movie is that it is better to be authentic and "mean" than to be "nice" and fake.
this scene is so beautiful, that when I realized that life is short and we must love it as he loved his daughter, rivers of tears already rolled down! I cried with happiness for the first time
He only loved his daughter when he was about to die. It’s like old people going to church as they get old. Charlie abandoned his daughter Ellie which damaged her like so many other daughters raised by single mothers. Honestly it is pretty selfish of a family member trying to reconnect before they die because it’s not for the benefit of the person living it’s for the benefit of the person dying
This is one of those magical moments in watching a movie where you really felt that what you were watching was in fact real. Anyone that has a shred of love in their heart had to be crying a river. It was sad, it was powerful but at the same time it was beautiful. These kinds of films touch so many of us in different ways. The more I try to put into words what we watched the more I realize it’s something that can’t be put into words. Because love is just love it’s an emotion that can’t be defined it just is.
I loved how her leaving the house and pausing at the door was used as a kind of structure for a real essay. She does it in the start of the film introducing the thesis and then at the end in this scene where she affirms the thesis again and the movie comes to its conclusion.
I don't understand why Sadie wasn't nominated for supporting actress...she delivered a stunning performance..I'm not saying she should have won an Oscar...she could had been nominated.
I have got to be honest, when Sadie sink said daddy please, that shit blew my head to bits, so fuckin strong, one of the best films I've seen in ages, Brendan deserves the Oscar for this performance 100% Sadie sink was phenomenal aswell, powerful stuff
Seriously one of the most gut wrenching lines when she said that. Such a gut wrenching plea. That's where I knew she loved him the entire time; she was just completely heartbroken for all those years. Crazy how a couple words can change everything like that
Perfect ending to an almost perfect movie. Whoever came up with this scene was a genius. From Ellie crying 'Daddy please' to the last memory Charlie had as he died was standing close to his daughter as she smiled for the first time since seeing him, to the music that seemed to be meant for the scene, outstanding acting in an amazing movie
After finally watching this, I’ve never cried so much for a film such as this. The acting, the actions taken place, it was definitely a film worth watching
As someone who's never seen this movie before and only heard it's name once in a passing video about the oscars, I watched this and my eyes may have teared up. I know nothing about this movie yet this 6 minute ending clip makes me feel so emotional.
A sweet release of guilt and his earthy prison of shame. He went up and into that next place full of light, forgiveness, healing and eternity. That was the most beautiful ending to a movie I have EVER seen.
When Ellie opened the door into the light, I was genuinely moved. I knew they finally fixed each other. I can't remember the last time a movie made me cry, but I was a mess in the theater for this whole scene. Oscar well deserved Mr. Fraser.
Few movies have the power to make me shed a tear, but I was sobbing when this movie ended. I related to every character, especially Charlie. When he started "floating" and ascended to heaven, I lost it. He finally achieved happiness, just before he passed.
I’ll never forget this amazing ending. I remember sitting in the theatre crying my eyeballs out when the credits started. Had to sit there and get myself together for a bit, such a beautiful film.
Love that at the moment of his death, he not only got to feel weightless but also see his daughter smile at him. Very touching and a hair away from being the cheesiest thing ever. The performances and excellent score sell it.
I haven't even seen this movie but the writing is making me cry, when she starts to read her essay it reflects the man so well as he struggles to stand up. I found it so powerful when she delivered the line. Through the course of the book the pirate goes through many hardships trying to kill this whale. This overlayed over the struggle of him standing was so powerful, how his own personal whale hes been trying to kill this whole time and how through all of his hardships he keeps going and stands. That is some powerful delivery that I don't see often.
I love this. The acting here is amazing. Every step he takes to confront his daughter, just hits me in the heart for some reason. And I finally know why it's called "The Whale." Brendan Fraser has finally done it again. I know you most likely won't read this but, *congratulations Brendan Fraser* 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😢
I haven’t cried watching a film in a long time I love this film Brendan Fraser acting was breathtaking amazing I hope this film wins a Oscar well deserved
The acting is superb! I cried just from this scene alone. I can feel his sorrow, his need to truly give her that love, that validation, that very thing she needed. It was so important to him to truly have a positive impact on that he sacrificed his life for it. In such few minutes he gave his all as a human, professor and father.
As sad as it is that he dies in front of his daughter,I find that doing it with his spirit rising peacefully to the light instead of showing his body dropping dead to the floor; along with the very emotional music makes this closing scene absolutely beautiful at the same time. Charlie goes in peace and love instead of pain and agony. God bless Darren Aronovsky for his marvelous directing.
You can tell yourself as much as you want that your not gonna cry at this movie, but you will. In a dark cinema with the big screen there, it's such an emotional experience
There's only 2 movies in my life that made me bawl hard in a theater. The first was The Green Mile and the second is this masterpiece. This was the hardest gut punch I received though.
such a simple movie, no A-list cast. Just incredible and emotional acting turned a simple script into a masterpiece. Fraser's one liners made me cry out, crying is easy but the feeling when your throat is full and you gulp down trying to control your tears. This movie was just crafted beautifully. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I know right . I was amazed by all the emotions we shared all together in a theater . I have never seen so many people crying at the end of a movie. I was just sobbing and I am still in tears in front of this scene .
Perhaps one of the saddest endings by Darren Aronofsky in his roster Fraser brought so much emotion to a man running out of time but ascended with such relief and freedom
This was definently hands down the best movie i have ever watched! brendan fraser did so well in the movie! this whole entire movie was just so sad! THE MUSIC. The Whole movie itself. is so sad! but it's such a beautiful movie! it's such a masterpiece on it's own! it was such a beautiful movie! it was so well made. i started crying when i saw the ending! the way that they made it was so beautiful! i usually don't cry during movies but. this movie. impacted me so much! it hurt me. i loved this movie so much. the amount of emotion they have put into this movie! god it was beautiful
So many critics hate it for so many reasons. Like the fact he got up at the end or the fact the play itself is written badly or stage directions are bad. I honestly love this film, and I cried way too much at the end.
@@Goole1947me too! the minute the i saw the end of the movie. i got so emotional. i started crying. literally i was holding a large plush of mine and i was crying on it
Haven’t watched this movie but this scene tells me everything. So gut wrenchingly powerful, vintage and not to mention acting that superlatives will never do justice. Someone in this comments section said that Fraser deserved more than an Oscar and I couldn’t agree more.
@tinyfeet101 I agree the ending is much more impactful after watching the entire movie. This person will never get the true experience now that they’ve seen the ending first. 👎
I remember first seeing him in the mummy when I was 7 he vanished years later I saw an interview he seemed broken and was struggling I just turned 24 but I still see him how I saw him as a child he’s a great actor and I’m so proud of the comeback he’s made
I don't normally cry during movies. But right now tears are falling. What an incredible performance. What a triumphant return of Brandon Fraser. Congratulations for the Oscar win. 🥳🎉
There's something about the low note that rings in the music when Darren Aronofsky's name is shown that delivers a negative yet beaufitul emotion that is usually delivered after experiencing one of his films. When I hear it after experiencing the whole story, the tears flow hard. This movie didn't leave me in a bad head space as bad as his other movies like Requiem for a Dream or mother! but despite how amazing the film and performance was, it was still incredibly depressing, and I'm still trying to recover. This movie made me unable to eat for 12 hours after watching it not because I was disgusted at Charlie when he ate, but because I couldn't look at food without feeling Charlie's depression. I was in a dark place when I exprienced his other films and Aronofsky's films are not meant to be watched if you're in one. With knowing this was a film of his and it being Brendan Fraser and escaping that place, this film was much easier to handle, but had I been there and watched it, I would need a long hug from a friend just like I did after his other films.
@@theyeastinfection9871 I actually thought the same thing. I also thought of the last shot of him standing at the shoreline was to resemble a washed up dead whale on the beach
I don't cry at tv and movies or music. I could hardly watch this film. It really makes you realize how badly you need to come to terms with your own traumas and experiences. It says the things you need to hear in the most painfully simple ways. This movie hurt me and inspired me. It really is a work of art, and I don't know if I could ever stand to watch it again it was amazing
I interpreted this as the happiest ending possible given how the movie started. Him finally being able to rebound with his daughter was beautiful and I thought that even tho he died he was finally able to make the positive impact on her life forever before his death. Finally achieving what he wanted. It hopefully ended up making her a better person, and starting healing her emotional wounds (hopefully together with her mom) It was his """choice""" to die, he already knew it was coming and honestly he didn't cared about it. So for me, even if it was sad it's still the happiest way possible out of that situation given his condition and choices. BUT THEN SOMEONE SAID IT'S AN HALLUCINATION and that he just imagined her saying "daddy" and him getting up and everything, and that he probably just died on the couch and she left him there. Well I know him flying is an hallucination and I interpreted that as he just falling dead on the floor instead BUT HIS REBOUND??? HIS FINAL HAPPINESS??? I refuse to believe it's an hallucination. Well hopefully his friend isn't an hallucination as well because she was sweet asf and deserved the world
Yeah the hallucination theory is cap. He stood up & legit walked to Ellie. But just fell over instead of floating. Ellie probably in emotional distraught afterwards. But the ending is happy for us because Charlie got what he wanted.
@@Biggrittz Ellie would have been distraught, but I also think that this final action would also cause her to reconsider her life and how she treats people.
@@Biggrittz He couldn't even stand when he was in much better shape how could he do multiple steps when he's legit about to die it just doesn't add up.
@@Biggrittz Let me guess he has a heart attack at the end, falls on top of her while standing in front of her and crushes her to death with his weight! She should have walked out and left him there while she had the chance!
This whole ending ripped my heart out and crushed it. When the credits started to roll I was just left there crying, I just couldn't stop. That was the first time I cried so hard watching a movie in the theaters, with other sad movies i watched I would just have one or two tears rolling down my cheek but that would be it and i would just get over it quickly, but this ending I was actually trying so hard not to yell while I was crying and I was squirming in my seat out of total emotional pain
@MrBlick76 I was watching this movie with my sister and both of us had fathers who were never there for most of our lives. So yeah it was difficult and I agree this movie can be way harder to watch when you are one of the topics a movie like this tries to go deep into, it makes it more relatable
The saddest thing about this, is that on teather, no many people were drying on tears as I was. People has lost sensitivity and few people feel so passionate watching a movie. Daddy please! that just break my heart. so devastating and beautifully done, what a perfect ending!
I'm so glad I watched this movie alone because this scene specifically made me cry like I hadn't in ages. I haven't had a movie break me the way this one did. It was the perfect, uplifting ending for such a bleak and raw movie. Seeing the sunlight outside also setting the tone for his path towards the light. Towards peace.
I cried a little bit, too. I was watching a movie called: Where the Crawdads Sing, and I sobbed and sobbed because the main character really wanted to write a book. But then she was accused of killing her ex-boyfriend and was almost convicted. But then she wasn't convicted and they didn't place her in prison because she was a best-selling author and they were looking forward to her next book. I cried because the main character reminded me so much of myself. Except the killing part.
