jesus [censored] christ. how do you people manage to spoil season 4 wire moments in a "most emotionally devastating movie moment" thread? i have held off even reading forum threads and essays about the earlier seasons specifically to avoid this sort of thing, and you can't hold off even in a movie thread? unbelievable. and in this sort of thread which is very much a "skimread looking for names that might jolt a sentiment within you" typing SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then putting it just below the exclamation marks in plain text which through presentation stands out does not exactly help.

this thread is BS. there are spoilers for season 5 of the wire in it. wtf.
|
Just read more carefully next time. The guy that originally brought the wire up typed spoiler before he mentioned what happened, and I typed in <response to spoiler> before I mentioned what happened. I know you're skimming and all but that's on you, not anybody else. Especially in my case where I typed in <response to spoiler> and isolated it a break before my post. And you act like it's completely irrelevant to the thread, when it's not. Next time I'll put it in white, being a newbie that's what I've noticed others doing so that's what I'll do from now on. I'm sorry it happened, but don't blow a headgasket.
And I didn't spoil season 5, I merely said what I suspected will happen. Although I am willing to take bets that Dukie's going to get capped.

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
Photo album in Oldboy is a good one (if you saw it without having been spoiled, etc)
and if we're going TV, I'll add Wesley's story arc in Season 3 of Angel

I just checked; my two nominations are definitely not spoilers. Besides, how many of you are going to run out and see Au Hassard Balthazar (even though you should)?

I have the donkey film in my blockbuster queue but if it's emotionally devastating I don't want to watch it .
|
wait, did you somehow get a hold of one of my old films??

-The conclusion of the Bicycle Thief. Actually, we might as well include De Sica's Shoeshine and Umberto D. There's a trilogy of pain.
-Dr. Zhivago, when Yuri is riding on the trolley and notices Lara walking down the street and tries to get her attention.

It was for Dom. He'd heard the camera adds 10 pounds.

dude it's a movie thread. there is not a single movie in the world i care about having spoiled, so i opened the thread. if the thread was "most devastating moment in film or tv" i would stay the [censored] away, just like i stayed out of the 500 other wire and/or tv related threads in here and OOT for the past few months, because i am halfway through several shows that i care about a lot. of course you should put any serious spoiler in white text, but aside from that, you shouldnt be talking about tv in a film thread in the first place. the wire is like the most hyped show on 2+2 and there are over 50 hours of it now, how many people on here do you think are partway through it?

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
Considering that the episode in question aired at least 6 months ago, I figure it's fair game.

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
Glad Bresson isn't alive to read this. Though I do like the term "donkey film."

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
A blast from the very distant past, that almost no one here would know (and I only say "almost" because I hate absolutes).
The final scene in Black Orpheus, where the child Orpheus plays guitar and the child Eurydice dances, starting the cycle of life and love again.

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
Look, you're mad because it was spoiled for you, I understand that. But I really haven't done anything wrong here. Like I said though, I'm sorry it happened.

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
ok. well since i've soiled this thread a bit i should probably contribute. there are definitely much better answers in the thread already (i walked around for hours after the end of oldboy) but for whatever reason it always gets to me when pacino dies in carlito's way. just the look on his face, and the fact he nearly made it, and you know he could have been a good guy if he had been able to get out...
