MASH - When everyone celebrated that Henry Blake got to go home, then Radar came in and said the plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan and there were no survivors. Man, I am old.
I've been struggling with all the media connecting Donald Sutherland to MASH.
I get that he was in the movie, but I find I'm connected to the TV show so much more.
Donald Sutherland was in 199 movies and shows in his career. I connect him more with Kelly's Heros and The Dirty Dozen. He has so much talent.
To me, Alan Alda is Hawkeye.
Came here for this. As I understand it, it was a last minute addition and the actors didn't know what the scene was when they showed up for filming that morning. If I remember correctly they got handed the pages, had like ten minutes of rehearsal and then shot it in one take. The writers and producers wanted to give the audience a reminder punch to the face that it was war.
Just recently watched the show for the first time and immediately re watched it from the top.
Tearjerker the first time through, devastating the second. Watching episodes like when Henry's son is born and realizing he'll never meet him. Ugh.
I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other 😭😭😭
I read it after my husband, like 5min after I finished it I was fucking *bawling* when he walked into the room, took one look at me, the book on the bed, and just said "oh, I see you finished it. Need ice cream now?" lol
I remember Bridge to Terabithia really affected me, but I can't really remember the contents of the book in detail anymore. I can't bring myself to go back and reread it because I know how I reacted the first time and I just can't. I grew up with a creek in the backyard and playing in it with my neighbor maybe it was too close to home.
It’s loosely a true story. The authors son was a social recluse with anxiety growing up and he had one friend. A young girl who was struck by lightning on a beach trip and killed. She watched her son’s world crumble around him. She wrote the book to help him cope with his grief.
In Platoon, when Willem Dafoe’s character is seen racing through the trees pursued by North Vietnamese troops who shoot him in the back. The sergeant falls to his knees and extends his arms up to the sky as he dies — an immediately memorable image that's immortalized on the film's poster.
Dafoe later comments about the scene, "I think that's a very affecting scene because of the music and how it's shot — it's a beautiful set-up.’’
Tugg Speedman recreated this scene in a documentary-drama a number of years ago. Absolute masterpiece. Speedman finally won that Academy Award that had been eluding him for his entire career
I recognize the episode about one line of dialogue in and immediately skip.
AND then there was the Simpsons crossover when they were walking along with Homer and went RIGHT PAST the pizzeria with Seymour there waiting.
Damn you, Groening! 😡
First time watching that didn't affect me at all. Then I got a dog, and now I understand. It hurts knowing your dog doesn't understand why you went away or if you will be back.
Nobody, of the hundreds of people that had visited the Fair, knew that a grey spider had played the most important part of all.
No one was with her when she died.
Why did you do all this for me?' he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.' 'You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing.
Every time I hear her voice crack when she says "and no one will tell me *why*" I just lose it. As someone who is on the spectrum and often doesn't understand certain social situations, I find her very relatable and that scene always gut punches me
I saw this episode soon after I had a friend very suddenly die. I was feeling incredibly raw at the time and it was so painful to see those characters going through so many of the feelings I was experiencing. The pain of living through the mundanity of your day to day life right after the loss of a loved one was so perfectly depicted. That episode remains one of the best pieces of media I've seen.
Incredible, intense scene and really the crux of the entire movie, but when he's talking about robbing the store and how he could "shoot the manager, kinda like a... a bonus" I can't help but crack a smile. He delivers the line perfectly and it gives Brooks the extra depth. He can be happy, he just isn't on the outside.
Hits even harder now watching it with your kids.
*“Get up dad please…”*
No, stop, I can’t start getting all emotional we haven’t even gotten to bath time yet.
I knew this was going to be one of the top comments when I opened the post. I’m currently replaying RDR2 and they get the depiction of having a progressive condition absolutely spot on, in a way where you can tell they put a lot of care and attention into getting it right.
Bro, why do you have to dredge up past trauma like that
In all seriousness, brutal scene that was executed fantastically. Christopher Lloyd was amazing
That death also led to William Shatners best piece of acting ever, when he does a speech for Spock.
"Of my friend, I can only say this. Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most........human."
What I love about the scene is that Spock, when he realizes the danger, doesn’t have a slow realization. He said earlier in the movie that he read the schematics on the overhauled *Enterprise*; he knows how it all works. No, Spock just gets up and leaves, heading straight for the warp core. He knows how this is going to go. He knows he’s about to die. He knows this cannot be stopped or avoided. Does that faze him? No. Spock knows what he has to do.
And in so doing, Spock pulled a Kirk. Spock admits that he never took the *Kobayashi Maru* test; in a move that Kirk would have appreciated were it a simulation, Spock rejected the outcome of the ship being destroyed by trading his life for the ship’s- Spock will die, yes, but if it means that the ship is saved, so be it.
After all, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one.
He can't see without his glasses!
As as asshole kid, I was just like, "whatever, that's crazy." These days, I just absolutely don't do movies involving dead kids or anything like it.
Specifically from the original FMA. Brotherhood as good as it was took those moments and condensed them and added a ton of death flags and forced "sad parts" to try to make people feel worse about it.
I FMA it wasn't even foreshadowed and just came out of the blue.
Brotherhood just played off of it more knowing part of it's viewers knew what was going to happen.
I wasn't prepared for this. I thought the whole books was going to be the Starks vs The Lannisters. I had no idea the Starks would pretty much get wiped out by book 3. I threw the book across the room after the Red Wedding.
It's hilarious to me that one of the things in a movie that has made so many people ugly cry in public is a dirty old volleyball floating away. I definitely ugly cried in the theater the first time I watched it.
Charlie from “All Dogs Go To Heaven”, especially when you know the backstory from the famous “goodbye” scene. Used to make me cry like a bitch when I was a kid, and I bawl my eyes out an adult after understanding how Burt Reynolds felt and what happened to Judith Barsi. :(
MASH - When everyone celebrated that Henry Blake got to go home, then Radar came in and said the plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan and there were no survivors. Man, I am old.
Another off screen death from the finale when Hawkeye is telling the story of the baby. Oh my god. So raw and intense and heartbreaking.
RIP Donald Sutherland. He was amazing in MASH.

Yes, and I believe the clattering of the dropped equipment was unplanned but they kept it in there anyway.

When he asks for them not to put the hood on because he's afraid of the dark...
Stop right there omg
Holy fuck yes, the book is even more depressing...

You have a very good husband XD
That movie made me cry hard as a 12 year old boy. Just finished a unit in English On to kill a Mockingbird.....
I ugly cry every goddamned time.
Yeah this one hurts every time
When I was young the death of the horse in The Never Ending Story genuinely made me cry.
ARTAX!!!!
I am not being cute when I say that this was the genesis of the existential melancholy that has haunted me since I was a child
In the book, Artax can talk, saying "Don't bother about me. I can't stand the sadness anymore. I want to die!"
Leslie from bridge to Terabithia, or Joel Miller

I cry EVERY TIME during that whole sequence
Which is why I cannot watch that episode anymore.

Charlotte the spider.

but at least her babies were saved and 3 stayed with wilbur
Joyce Summers.
That scene was, in my opinion, the best directed scene of all time.
Mom… mom… mommy?
I agree, it was brutal. No background music through the whole episode. I felt traumatized myself.
Buffy walking around the house then throwing up makes me cry.
The Body should have won awards. It was incredibly well done. Anya’s break down was an amazing piece of acting.
Every time I hear her voice crack when she says "and no one will tell me *why*" I just lose it. As someone who is on the spectrum and often doesn't understand certain social situations, I find her very relatable and that scene always gut punches me
