@Ontheroad I loved that one. It taught me that everybody has motivations they consider to be good for what they do. And that in turn taught me the human capacity to rationalize anything. Colonel Jessup wasn't a bad guy. He wasn't even a bad man. He was a misguided man with good intentions.
I've seen my fair share, one I always think of and refer to questions like this is the slaughterhouse scene in In a Year With 13 Moons, it's a graphic scene inside where they turn cows into grocery meat. We hear a slow movement of Handel's Organ Concerto, while Volker Spengler the main star of the film recites in an unbelievable way a portion of a play that had to do with a tragic relationship of his which is shown a snapshot of in a previous scene. The words he speaks and how he says them,all combined with the music and the visuals of cows like that,and like i'll never forget it, and for me it's depicting what being a real artist is like, there's plenty of anguish involved. Fassbinder the director was going to off himself, but he decided to make In a Year With 13 Moons instead.
From the movie "Glory" (1989). I saw it in a theatre, with my brother. People around us were crying at this scene… [media=https://youtu.be/KD5DVxqmjRo]
@bijouxbroussard The non-verbal acting in this scene is what makes it so incredible, just the looks at each other between Broderick/Elwes/Washington. All actors firing on all cylinders, masterfully directed by Edward Zwick. This was something else.
There are a LOT but the first that came to mind just now was the scene from Dunkirk when the fleet of ships and boats showed up... And the guy asks "Whatdya see?" And the answer? "Home" [media=https://youtu.be/Fp5v3pf3uw8]
A few, the last few minutes of Requiem of a Dream stayed with me until this day. I know you said movies but a few shows did it too. Sons of Anarchy: When Opie died. When Gemma unalived Tara. When Jax unalived Gemma. Made me cry.
