intense scenes in movies

[rubah]

Stu rented Brazil on netflix and I wasn't even watching, but when it got to the scene where the guy went to Mrs. Buttle's flat and she started to scream and wail, I was deeply disturbed and started tearing up quietly.

And the end of Requiem for a Dream, I couldn't watch anymore. I just had to weep and keep my eyes closed and hope it would end soon.

Do movies ever affect you like this?

[~*~Celes~*~]

ALL THE TIME!

If I'm sitting there at the computer and I hear the tv in the living room when someone's watching a movie, if the girl is screaming and the "killer is chasing the girl!" music comes on, I get all tense and shivers down my spine mega bad.

[Rantz]

Things We Lost in the Fire has a couple of scenes that make me tear up when I see them. Kieślowski's Trois couleurs: Bleu is also very intense. I've never gotten to the point where I wished it would end, though.

Brazil is an excellent film. Could do with seeing it again. It was on BBC2 late last year and started watching it but I was a bit tired and couldn't really concentrate.

Not really a film but from a 90 minute television docudrama (which may as well have been a film), but the scene of the nuclear bombs going off in Threads was genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen. People running and the fires that there were, the people putting together mishmash shelters when the siren sounds and the kid being left outside... Ugh. If you have time to spare, look for Threads on GoogleVideo. Fantastic programme.

Brazil is amazing. Nope. No film has ever ever made me cry. Intense bits are in lots of films though: cba to list.

Irréversible. You know, that one scene with Monica Bellucci and the dude who rapes her for ten minutes.

Yeah that was pretty intense and realistic.

Watched the German film Die Leben Der Anderen (The Lives of Others) the day I made my last post and have another one to add. Just the entire end of the film really, when one of the main characters is killed off after betraying her lover, where the German Stasi agent steals the typewriter to save one of the main characters and when the writer becomes aware of what the Stasi agent did to keep him and his lover alive and well during the last years of the GDR. Fantastic film. Just quite amazing how it all comes together at the end.

I never really feel connected enough to a character in 2 hours.

Only ever happens in games or the occasional book.

Plus, I don't cry, I get goosebumps. I am a man after all.

It usually happens at one point in the FF-series(Aerith's death, Squall&Rinoa in the space ship, Zidane coming off the throne with all the dramatic music), that's why I like playing them. xD

Kinda lost that after FF-X though.

[Jessweeee♪]

Yeah, I like to sit where people can't see my face when I'm watching a movie with other people, because I'll be like O_O

the end of saving private ryan gets me.
and the Order 66 scene on mygeeto where ki adi mundi gets taken out. he had the blue saber and the triple forehead.... why you ask? because i have the comic series that features him. he gets blasted and he had at least 7 wives and twice that many daughters to go home to

adrenaline scene in pulp fiction is classic.

the original texas chainsaw massacre when they were all eating dinner, and the one chick was tied to the chair. that <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /> was FUCKED up.

also more recently, there is a spicy hatchet scene in burn after reading. everyone go watch that movie.

The day when Henry Hill is doing all the errands trying to get the cocaine to Pittsburgh near the end of the movie "Goodfellas". His mind is racing everywhere and I'm like "WAT!" Definitely powerful stuff.

[LunarWeaver]

I have lame ones. Like the ending of E.T., or a few parts in Stand By Me. It's funny, I hate children and would never voluntarily spend time with one, yet the only thing that truly makes me sad in movies is when a kid is sad. That crying scene in Little Miss Sunshine with Olive depressed me for life. Naturally I go out of my way to see such things, though. I'm all kinds of masochist.

[Roto13]

Olive is too cute for words, though.

Which scene was that? I can't place it atm

Vincent and Lance give it to Mia through her heart after she overdoses on heroin thinking its cocaine.

Thanks Rubahs. I'm going to get a copy of RFAD now.

In terms of intense scenes, it's largely a subjective matter. I watched fight club without flinching, but when they were about to mutilate a man's peepee in Koroshiya Ichi I was very uncomfortable (they never did do it in the film -- they do in the manga).

[Yeargdribble]

I respond very emotionally to most things. There are many scenes in Gattaca that get me quite a bit. The part where he's swim racing his brother as an adult and explains how he won that one time when they were kids: "You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back."

Also, pretty much the entire ending scene when he's talking to Lamar and is about to potentially get busted and Lamar goes on like he's tried to do several times in the movie "I never told you about my son..." and you realize after a bit he's know the whole time that Jerome was actually not Jerome.

... k... gonna go cry to myself now.

I never have ever cried in movies or tv before but Graves of the fireflies was the one that nearly got to me! The whole movie was pretty intense and for an animated feat! I dont even wanna watch it again!

That's a good movie, though Barefoot Gen is far more intense.

I never cry in movies tbh. I've been moved but not to the point of shedding tears and getting all beside myself. The ending to Tenchi Muyo: Tenchi in Love where they explain the theory of why Tenchi's mom died at a young age was pretty grim. The ending to Night on the Galactic Railroad is also pretty emotional, especially when you finally realize the true nature of the train.

Hell the death of one of the major characters in Galaxy Railways was also pretty awe inspiring, if only cause his death was senseless and surprising much like how death is in real life. His death was very different from how most movies go about it. The death's Leji Matsumoto puts in his works tend to have a major impact on the story but rarely do people die heroic deaths in his stories.

The Fountain has an array of beautifully choreographed and intense scenes. The sequence that stands out the most in my head, is towards the end when he's moving towards the nebula. Absolutely beautiful, absolutely moving.

i'd heard the soundtrack before seeing the movie and i was disappointed. the soundtrack really hyped the movie up for me because it was so beautiful.

but every single time in v for vendetta when natalie portman is reading the chick's story on the piece of toilet paper i always break down crying so hard. especially when she talks about the roses. :cry:

I listened to the soundtrack before hand, and yes it is absolutely beautiful. I don't know, the movie is still beautiful and awe-inspiring to me.
