The most affecting scene of a dying characters last moment/words.

I say it that soldier in Saving Private Ryan that was shot on the steep hill while bleeding uncontrollably screaming for his mother as the other soldiers held tightly onto him and his wound and just just waited for him to just die.

The other soldiers just knelt and stood around by him while the doomed soldier was motionlessly hyperventilated staring at the sky for about 10 secs then he started to breath slowly and just stop. The scene was quiet and just focused on that part for a while. It was definitely the most dramatic scene of a character dying. It captured the essence of actual death in combat.

Good job, Spielberg.

I like in American History X when he makes the guy bite the curb and you can hear his teeth on the curb then he stomps on his head, and when the other dude gets shot in the urinal.

When Cruise's father dies in Magnolia.

The Qui-gon death scene still gets me. It's very simple and yet still very impactful at the same time.

Also it's a very brief intercut in the Hulk movie, but after the Gamma bomb explodes on the Hulk and the Absorbing Man and the movie shows Bruce Banner floating in the lake, that quick flashback of the father and son saying goodnight really got to me too.

I know I'm probably going to get railed for this, but Borimer's ( Spelling? ) death in The Fellowship of the Ring. That REALLY fckin' got to me. And I kinda' shed a tear over the T-800s 'death' in T2.

Barnes death scene in platoon.

Erm Alexander when you think he think's he's dying in battle.

and Sam Bycke in The Assination of Richard Nixon after his death it's all over the new's and it shows how no one cares and how alone we all are.

Vader
Carlito
and
Richard Harris in THE WILD GEESE affected me an all
Hes being chased by a hundred crazy african soldiers as he tries to board a plane thats ready for take off and Richard Burton has to take him out as he realises he has no chance of catching up .
Classic!

when Katsumoto is dying in The Last Samurai and he takes one last look at the cherry blossoms and just manages to say "Perfect..."

Sadly, i still get affected by Mufasa's death scene

In The Abyss, when Bud and Lindsey are trapped in the Rover that is slowly filling up with water and they have to decide who is going to wear the scuba gear, and who is going to die. When Lindsey is drowning underwater in Bud's arms, and he can't do anything but watch his love die in front of him............ I get misty eyed just typing about it.

Bruce Willis's death scene in Armageddon was full of awe.

Oh, gosh! That is so true. Like when Trinity dies in Matrix Revolution. Or when Jack dies in Titanic....those films really got me.

Not really. It was one of those predictable kind of deaths.

Anyone who isn't affected by that has no heart

Haha it's true.

Rutger Hauer's replicant's (Roy Batty) last words in Blade Runner are absolutely stunning. It's after a pursuit between him and Deckard that ends up on the roof of an old apartment building with the city's skyline in the background as the rain pours down. I honestly don't think there's a better 'last moment' example than this one:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die."

Great last moment from an amazing scene from a brilliant movie.

🙁 How are you not saddened by Mufasa's death? I nearly cry every time I see that part of the movie! Then I laugh when Rafiki comes along. 😂
