Default Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film

[ QUOTE ]
American History X- Its an obvious choice I guess, but the amount of character progression for both the father and son in the film was so amazingly uplifting- Just to be crushed in the last scene. The film takes you emotionally full circle, relighting belief in humanity one moment and crushing it the next.

This is the film I would choose, but the most devastating moment for me is the "curb stomp" scene. I have a younger brother, and I will never forget the look of horror on the younger brother's face as he watches his older brother/hero commit that terrible crime. I really can't watch this scene again.
