ScreenJunkies: 5 Best Death Scenes 2010

Categories : Remember Me

I know you thought I was going to say Cedric didn’t you.  Well lise-lou stumbled across Breakstudios ScreenJunkies article on it’s top 5 Death Scenes for 2010 last night, but wasn’t sure whether she should post:

“Tyler’s Death – “Remember Me.” In “Remember Me,” Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a troubled young adult. Despite much foreshadowing, it is easy to be caught off guard by Tyler’s death scene at the end of the movie. A zooming camera reveals Tyler standing inside one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on September 11th.”

Cool right.  Better keep the tissues close by … Caro you might want to stop right here – I decided to include some of my screencaps.

I love you
God I miss you
And I forgive you

(thanks to lovely Jules for reminding us of those very memorable words)

    *sniffs* I canot even think of this scene without crying. So, so beautiful. Those words hold so much meaning and my heart aches when I read them again, *wipes tears*. Thanks Maria and Lise-Lou.

    Those words spoken by Tyler just get me every single time – I can feel the tears coming just reading them. They are so beautiful & so meaningful. My heart truly aches when I hear & see them too Vicky. No film has ever affected me as deeply – never. I cry each & every time during Tyler’s death scene. No matter how many times I watch – I feel his loss just as deeply each time. ScreenJunkies – you are very smart people. Thanks Maria & Lise-Lou.

    This movie never gets old. I love watching it with someone for the first time and seeing their expression when they realise where he is.

    It really was a genius death scene. No violins of warning, just a straight powerful punch to the senses when the realisation of what was happening struck. Being so absorbed in the story, it still gets me everytime too.

    How very poignant a post for me, today of all days. Even in death, Rob still weaves his way in. (My grandfather died this morning) I actually struggle to watch this movie, as much as I love it and recommend it to everybody, it leaves me really down, albeit appreciative of life, after watching it. I suppose that was the aim though.

    @Carlisa I feel your pain – losing a grandparent is always hard no matter at what age. The memories though are what reminds us of how special they are. Just know that we are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.

    Oh Carlisa, my thoughts are with you and your family. Coming here has helped me and hopefully it will provide you with an escape and some comfort as well *big hugs*.

    I am so so sorry to hear that Carlisa. I know how hard losing a grandparent is. I lost my Grandmother 8 years ago now & saying it was tough doesn’t even come close. Am thinking of you & your family & sending all my love & hugs to you.

    I’m with all you girls. I cried every single time I saw it at the cinema. And the first time I saw it in the privacy of my own house, I didn’t cry I sobbed like a baby out of control *wipestearsnow*. @Carlisa so, so sorry for your loss. I have also lost all of my grandparents. And I know how hard that is. Know that you and your family are in my prayers, may God give you all comfort & strength. I will ask the priest tomorrow to say a special prayer for you grandfather.

    Thanks girls, for your thoughts. It really means a lot. It’s bizarre that even though we’re strangers connecting in the ether of Rob, there seems to be this need to share these experiences with you all. It’s hard losing anyone at any stage in life, but it’s harder to see them suffer, as well as the loved ones around them that suffer also. It was a bitter sweet day today because it was also my son’s 6th birthday. Life goes on, doesn’t it? So all in all a strange kind of day!

    @Carlisa It is very hard to see them suffer and like you said we suffer along with them. I believe with all my heart that your grandfather is up with our Lord. I don’t know what you girls beliefs are, but I think by now you all know I’m Catholic and I hope I’m not offending anyone. Carlisa you grandfather is no longer suffering, it’s pure joy & happiness from this moment on. There’s a big celebration in heaven going on, the welcoming of you grandfather. And I’m sure he’s told everyone up there that it’s also his great grandsons birthday. So I believe they are celebrating you son’s birthday as well.

    @Martha M I don’t believe your offending anyone with your beliefs. I know there is a God – Rob is proof of that.

    @ Carlisa – My heart goes out to you and your family. Hold your memories of your grandfather dear and hold your son every day. There will be healing in both.

    Thanks everyone! @Martha M you brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely no offence taken with those beautiful sentiments. I believe as you do (but orthodox, not catholic, all christian ‘Same, Same’ in my opinion) and I also believe as you do @Maria LOL from tears to laughter! Rob is definately heaven on Earth!!

    Maria

    • January 31, 2011 at 11:30 am

    LOL @Carlisa – I’m orthodox as well. Someone (a troublemaker I suspect) once had a go at us for apparently defending and worshipping Rob who was someone we didn’t personally know.

    My response was “I don’t personally know God either, but I still worship Him.”

    Hope things are a little better for you today 😀

    @Carlisa true we are all Christians we all believe in one Christ. If my words brought some comfort to you, I’m so glad. We did pray for your grandfather in church today. And Maria again, you said it perfectly.

    Carlisa

    • January 31, 2011 at 5:59 pm

    LOL Maria you crack me up!!!

    Thanks again Martha!

    I’m so sorry Carlisa, your beloved grandfather, as all the girls said, is now in a better place, and always alive in your heart…
    and about our unforgettable Tyler..how sad was to lost him, just when he started to understand life in a different way… make me remember for ever all the S-11 victims … I hope, some day, american people can see the movie with all the respect it was made…
