Depressing scenes that are also uplifting

[Al_The_Strange]

A thread for posting scenes from movies that are sad but at the same time, uplifting.
This doesn't include scenes that are so beautiful that bring a tear to your eye. Infact, it's the opposite. Really sad scenes but uplifting for some reason.

Please post the name of the movie as well. Don't just post a video.


Titanic - Rose jumps back onboard. The music and the flare in the sky as Rose looks at Jack really make this scene great.

titanic you jump i jump HD - YouTube

Can't post videos here at work, but the following come to mind right away:

"John Carter" toward the middle, where Carter has a flashback of

[Show spoiler]burying his dead family

while hacking through whole hoard of Tharks.

"The Dark Knight's" final scenes, with Jim Gordon's final speech.

"Braveheart's" ending,

[Show spoiler]where William Wallace gets beheaded (I think he was drawn-and-quatered in real life though; one of many historical inaccuracies ).

"The Passion's" ending; the whole movie's depressing, but then there's the Resurrection.

50/50 the whole movie

Into The Wild

Ron Franz: I'm going to miss you when you go.
Christopher McCandless: I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships.

and

Christopher McCandless: Happiness only real when shared.

The entire movie in fact, my eyes went moist when he dies.

Most of the bloody scenes in "Passion of the Christ' were downright horrific. However, I also felt very grateful, knowing that God believes I'm worth saving, and Jesus went through that for me.

Id say the ending of Gladiator has to be up there: Very sad - yet somehow if gives closure to Maximus. Awesome....

[Monterey Jack]

The ending of the Aussie animated feature Mary & Max. Deeply, deeply sad, and yet hopeful.
