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.

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. [/ QUOTE ] this thread is BS. there are spoilers for season 5 of the wire in it. wtf. |

including everything. [/ QUOTE ] Including everything in the film and including everything in cinema history. BTW, the scene where the Tramp first meets the blind girl "required" over three hundred takes. |

Yes, I've heard that; was it that Chaplin couldn't figure out how to make her aware of the "fact" that he was rich?

BTW, the smile Uma Thurman gives Bryan Greenberg at the end of Prime reminded me very much of Chaplin's last shot in City Lights.

Re: most emotionally devasting moment in film
I think he had the concept from the beginning, but the scene just didn't work right. He was a bit of a fanatic. He fought so much with the Virginia Cherril (sp.?) that he fired her with a week of shooting to go but then rehired her when he decided refilming with another actor would take too long.

Older and younger brother.
I'm wondering if, years from now, we look upon Norton, rather than Dicaprio or Depp, as the finest actor of his generation. |

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)?

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
