What is the saddest death/moment you've ever witnessed on screen?

edited June 2016 in General Chat

For me, it would have to be the crucifixion in Mel Gibson's 2004 film: The Passion Of The Christ.

The brutal torture scenes and crucifixion was so gruesome that a woman is reported have actually fainted in the theater.

Whether you're religious or not, just o watch somebody go through so much, was very hard to watch. I actually shed a few silent tears. It's always hard to watch a fellow human being suffer.

I would include some clips, but due to their graphic nature, and the fact that we have some younger users on here, I will forgo it.

However, I will include the trailer for the film, just to give you some idea of the nature of the movie.

The saddest moment I'd have to pick would be when Hawkeye on MAS*H had a nervous breakdown, and finally was able to recall why it happened.

  • On screen in anything? I'd say Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

    Tyreese's death in The Walking Dead. I don't think I've ever cried so hard in any movie/show before. The entire episode was executed beautifully. I was a mess by the end...I've never really broken down for movies and shows but this I did.

  • John Coffey- The Green Mile

  • I almost cried like a bitch during that scene.

    Big Spoilers but... still heart breaking personally. Mainly the reasons I stopped praying to the Star Wars Gods, and became a Believe in the Gundamu. Gundam when I was a teenager literally changed my world. They're never black/white stories.

    The Terminator, T2. He died for our sins.

    I was 8. Come on. That's the only one that really comes to mind. That, and Littlefoot's mom.

    I nearly cried at a few of them.

    Jay's Death: Marble Hornets Entry #80 (?)

    Sadly, I couldn't find a specific video dedicated to that scene alone, But yeah, it was insanely sad seeing the character we had lived through and watched experience all of these happenings died so close to the end of the story, so close to the truth. It sucked.

    Vegeta's Final Atonement: Dragon Ball Z

    enter link description here

    I've never been sure what was sadder about this moment. Vegeta's final realization that he's been wrong all along and cares for his family, or the fact that his sacrifice was completely in vain. But either way, this was an insanely sad moment.

    Terminator 2: T-600 (I think that was his model name)

    enter link description here

    This movie scared the fucking shit out of me when I was younger, but I've gotta admit, I cried a lot when he died. It was such a powerful moment.

    Sarah: The Last of Us.

    enter link description here

    I give a lot of shit to the Last of Us for a lot of reasons. I didn't like it and I really never will like it, but it certainly was sad as fuck seeing this bright little girl die within the first few minutes. It was super fucked up.

    Krillin's First (of many) death: Dragon Ball

    I can't fucking watch this scene without tearing up. I just can't.

  • Sorry, first episode after the break and spent an entire episode on it? All I could think of was "Oh, I guess he backed out of his contract and now they're biding time to rewrite everything."

    Not to mentioned I thought that was a little too much "FEEL SAD! ARE YOU FEELING SAD YET?!" type of cinematography.

    Depends if you talk about saddest moments from TV shows, movies or video games.

    Oh, and before I start, just putting this just to be sure:

    enter image description here

    From TV shows:

    1. Game of Thrones: Hodor's death and The Red Wedding.
    2. The Walking Dead: Beth's death.

    From video games:

    1. Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series: Talia's song, Rodrik/Asher's sacrifice and Mira's determinant death.
    2. The Walking Dead: Season 1 and Season 2: Lee's death and Kenny's death.
    3. Tales From the Borderlands: Scooter's death.
    4. Life is Strange: Sacrifice Chloe ending.

    Eh, none movie moment made me cry, so I'm gonna leave that out.

  • the walking dead beths death it was quite a shock when it happened

  • Kirby Right Back At Ya! - The robotic dogs end caused me to shed tears. Then, came "Dedede's Snow Job", my love of snowmen in my youth, seeing one of my favorite helpers from Kirby Super Star: Chilly the Snowman, in the animated flesh was a nice surprise. When the ice monster was vanquished and the sun returned, we see Kirby pull up his friends hat and reveal a tiny Chilly melting. I began to blubber immediately. Then, the waterworks followed. I gushed a few more with tiny Chilly waving goodbye to his newfound friend. Then, heartbreak city with Chilly's cap and bell sinking into the water. Boy howdy.

    Doctor Who - "Dalek" Near the end of the episode where the Dalek and the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) have the final confrontation, but not with action; with words.
    The pent up emotions of the Time War, "I couldn't...I wasn't...Oh Rose, they're all dead" And despite the Dalek, absorbing Rose's DNA, choose death instead of becoming something more. Given the creatures history, I can see why. I don't know why I shed tears sometimes at that moment before it does away with itself. Maybe it was facing death with dignity, maybe it was sympathy I've gained for that particular Dalek. But the final lines with it and Rose really tugged at my emotions, and I've SEEN some pretty emotional moments where I didn't even bat an eyelash, or I was crying on the inside. And when the Dalek destroys itself, Eccleston's expression matches my own.

    A powerful moment and I don't know if anything else in the New Series that comes close.

  • Back when Doctor Who used to be good. It used to be so great when Russell T Davies was in charge, didn't take itself too seriously and was a little cheesy but still managed to deal with darker and sadder themes.

    TV:

    • Misfits: Alisha’s death. Like, I actually really loved Alisha and she deserved more than what she got.
    • Misfits: Curtis' death. Ah yes, another character (and the last) from the original group to go. I was really hoping they would of at least kept him in for the rest of the series tbh.
    • The Walking Dead: Noah's death. Say all you want about him, but I actually really cared for him and I don't know what's worse seeing what happened to him or seeing Glenn's reaction.
    • The Walking Dead: Tyreese’s death. Killing off Tyreese was a mistake.
    • The Walking Dead: Lori's Death. I knew it was coming and don't get me wrong, it's so much better than her comic book death but like I teared up so much, I really loved her and the fact that her son had to put her out before she turned just ahhhh.

    Video games:

    • The Last Of Us: Sarah's death. Yep, 5 minutes into the game and I'm already crying thanks Naughty dog enter image description here
    • The Last of Us DLC: Riley's death. Like, from what we've seen from her she was really sweet and I loved her relationship with Ellie so much. Rip my ship.
    • Borderlands 2: Angel and Roland's death. Let's kill a character who deserved more followed with another character who deserved more. Honestly, I saw Angel's death coming but... Roland's (._.)
    • Tales from the Borderlands: Scooter's death. Don't you just love it when your favorite character in the entire franchise just dies! enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here
  • Dem middle fingers, though.

  • I'm gonna seem like a gigantic weener, but Mufasa's death in Lion King used to get to me hardcore when I was a kid. Simba crying and trying to get his dad to "get up" fucking killed me, man.

  • That was a good one.

  • Rocky series:

    • In Rocky II when Rocky shouts: "Yo Adrian, I did it!"
    • In Rocky III when Mickey passes away,
    • In Rocky V when Rocky visits Mighty Mick's GYM
    • In Rocky Balboa in all scenes nearly. Especially the scenes where Rocky visits his old stomping grounds. Also, there is a scene cut from the movie which made me cry like a little baby.

    enter link description here

    In Creed:

    • When Rocky goes to the graveyard to read the news to Paulie and Adrian,
    • When Rocky breaks down in the locker room,
    • When Donnie tells Rocky that he's not a mistake,
    • When Rocky and Donnie climb up the steps.

    In other movies:

    • In Godfather Part III when Michael and his daughter get murdered,
    • In Truman Show when he crashes into the wall at the edge of the studio,
    • In Green Mile when John Coffey gets executed
  • Love the middle fingers lol.

    The whole beginning of EP4 Life Is Strange. When Chloe asked Max to help kill herself, I felt tears forming in my eyes. That rarely ever happens to me with video games.

  • Thanks, my guy!

    Love the middle fingers lol.

  • From Movies:
    John Coffey - The Green Mile

    From TV Series:
    Tyreese - The Walking Dead

    Sherlock (sort of) - Sherlock: The Reichenbach Fall

    From Video Games:

    Obviously Lee, I mean we are on TTG forums so what else would you expect

    Other than that, I have to say Eli Vance, his death was really heartbreaking to me especially with the credits music in EP2 not helping to ease up the situation

  • lost - Charlie pace's death

    game of thrones - Robb Stark's the dreadful red wedding

  • Yeah, I prefer Eccleston's short run, to all of Tennant, Smith & Capaldi's runs. Forgive me fans, of those eras I just voiced my personal opinion.
    Plus, the War Doctor is something of a decent concept. Plus, JOHN HURT.

    Back when Doctor Who used to be good. It used to be so great when Russell T Davies was in charge, didn't take itself too seriously and was a little cheesy but still managed to deal with darker and sadder themes.

  • fuck lori.

    I didnt even like her in the comics aha
