• Heroic character's from a film death?
    48 replies, posted
I really like your opinions. What is your most... Feeling-filled Hero's death? I have no personal favorite since I am not much of a film watcher. I remember one, but I can't remember the name of the film nor the character. So guys, what's your best bet on a great scene of Hero's death or just well written, maybe inspiring or such. Cheers.
Not sure if it would count, but the execution scene in Green Mile was really emotional. Also there's a Film section for this.

Maximus in Gladiator. :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;21717864]Maximus in Gladiator. :saddowns:[/QUOTE] I have the feeling my brain forgot all of the amazing films I watched. Rated agree.
[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;21717864]Maximus in Gladiator. :saddowns:[/QUOTE] This is the best I can think of. Would Will Turner from the Pirates movies count, even though he technically didn't "die"? [editline]01:25PM[/editline] Darth Vader's death was pretty alright. Sure he was a villain in half the movies, but at the very end, he changed back to a hero.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;21717894]This is the best I can think of. Would Will Turner from the Pirates movies count, even though he technically didn't "die"?[/QUOTE] Didn't see that movie.. And what do you mean he didn't die? How do you know you should add this scene from the thread?

[QUOTE=Super_Poo;21718113]Why did that seem so...shit. First one was cool :([/QUOTE] It was a shit film, it started talking about Religion and God. In a Sci-fi film about hordes of insectoid aliens. :argh:
[QUOTE=Gvazdas;21717821]Ninja'd :D It's I AM LEGEND ending. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQfzvVeEkGI[/url][/QUOTE] That was the crappiest plot twist (against the book) in film history.

Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan They're indirect deaths but I think those are the most emotional

There are only two movies I [b]ever[/b] cried at while watching. Not like sniffly crap, like full out flooding. The first one was the short at the beginning of the first Pokemon movie. The second one was when the motherfucking Iron Giant died. Oh god... :crying:
[QUOTE=Poodle;21717803]:firstpost: And that girl in avatar[/QUOTE] Yeah, she was the only character I liked. If you mean the lesbian pilot, that is.
Rorschach, from the movie Watchman [2009]
At the time, Anakin's supposed lava-legs death really got to me. I cried. He was so cool. I then cried again when I realized that the modern (1,2,3) episodes of Star Wars were over.
Big Daddy in Kick Ass :(

I remember there was an alternate ending to 28 days later that was quite interesting and emotional, even if it has some plot holes. Wikipedia, take it away: [quote]The "Radical Alternative Ending" was not filmed and is presented on the DVD as a series of illustrated storyboards with voiceovers by Boyle and Garland. This ending would have taken the story in a radically different direction from the film's midpoint. When Frank is infected at the military blockade near Manchester, the soldiers do not enter the story. Instead, Jim, Selena and Hannah are somehow able to restrain the infected Frank, hoping they will find a cure for the virus nearby as suggested in the radio broadcast. They soon discover that the blockade had protected a large medical research complex, the same one featured in the first scene of the film where the virus was developed. Inside, the party is relieved to find a scientist self-barricaded inside a room with food and water. He will not open the door because he fears they will take his food, although he does admit that the "answer to infection is here." Unfortunately, he refuses to talk further because he does not want to make an emotional attachment to people who will soon be dead. After hours of failed attempts to break through the door or coax the man out, Jim eventually brings Hannah to the door and explains Frank's situation. The scientist reluctantly tells them that Frank can only be cured with a complete blood transfusion, and supplies them with the necessary equipment. After learning that he is the only match with Frank's blood type, Jim nobly sacrifices himself so that Frank can survive with his daughter. Just as his journey began, Jim is left alone in the abandoned medical facility, and Selena, Hannah and Frank move into the room with the scientist as a horde of the infected breach the complex. Strapped to the same table as the chimp had been in the opening scene, the computer monitors showing death and destruction come to life around a thrashing, infected Jim. Garland and Boyle explain that they conceived this ending to see what the film would be like if they did not expand the focus beyond the core four survivors. They decided against it because the idea of a total blood replacement as a cure was not credible. As Boyle said in the DVD commentary, it "didn't make much sense" since the film had already established that one drop of blood can infect a person. "What would we do? Drain him of blood and scrub his veins with bleach?"[/quote]
