Wonderful scene, in many ways we don't get the closure we want, they don't get to confront their abuser or bring him to justice, he's long gone. There's no sense that due to this everything will now be alright but they've found one another and now know the truth. There's hope for them both.
I love this movie. Very well said. Sadly that is the reality for a lot of us who have been sexually abused, there is no closure in that sense...a lot of us don't get the chance to confront them and/or don't want to. They took something from us we can never get back and we have to deal with it forever. But that said, there is hope, there is healing and closure within oneself. I know I blamed myself for years for what happened. It's a vicious thing. The best decision I ever made was starting to talk to a therapist about it, which has just been really recently, though I have been suffering for most of my life.
I know it’s 13 years later but I want to point out that in the book Neil says that sometimes it felt like there was a spotlight from heaven on him and the coach and in this final scene there’s a spotlight of Brian and Neil and we just have to hope that since they finally have each other, they can start to heal
"I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind... rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear." I'll never forget this movie or the first time I saw it. Suddenly, it was over and I felt completely gutted. But Sigur Ros was so uplifting, that I sat through the credits just to listen. Gregg Araki is a true visionary with great taste in music.
i love his delivery of the last line - it's subtle but powerful. no overly dramatic, cinematic flouish of poignance. joseph gordon-levitt is so good at powerfully restrained acting.
It's sad that everything around them just disappears into darkness as they float, fall into the endless, black unknown. It symbolises how both them and their plight continue to go unrecognised in the objective consciousness of the world. In this scene, they come to the hopeless conclusion that they are genuinely alone in the universe.
The ending is so powerful that I forget the smooth transition from the scene to the ending credits.. Its like, the music just carries the scene forward till there is nothing left for us to see on screen.
I wish there was something to undo the past... But there wasn't. Innocence gone and there will be this little monster inside you that will grow and feast on you I was also a victim of abuse in an early age and it was not easy to grow up with those dark memories in your past that still haunts, like the guy there whose very sex craving I'm now experiencing that and I'm making myself calm its hard to cope when the monster takes over your body and you became hungry for sex i know its funny but its not, prayers to fellow victims of abuse stay strong no matter what how shitty we've been thru
what you are might be hypersexual. i was also sexually abused and a while back i found out i turned out hypersexual because of it. you might wanna look up more stuff about the word hypersexual and see if that fits you. maybe talk to a therapist about it if you can.
this ending quote means so much to me i come back to it when i need to hear something to relate to i don’t think anyone has really put into words what it feels like and this does it perfectly it’s so hard to watch this movie
God, this movie is intensely wonderful in so many ways. This ending… in my whole life I haven't watched such wonderful and realistic end to a film. I will always hold this gem dear to my heart. Beautiful and eye opening movie everyone should watch!
as soon as i recognized the sigur ros song coming on at the end, i was immediately even more profoundly moved! sigh, so heartfelt, so saddening, but so touching. great film
No words can describe how good this movie was and I am so glad I was able to run into it. I might not have been able to see the whole ending but I can pretty much guess. I have to say, out of all the scenes in this movie...this is the most touching
this is a beautiful scene i just cant explain what makes me feel.. i saw it yesterday and i just cried and waited until the song ended to change the channel i really liked it
God, this is just such a perfect ending! I've just started reading the book and when he says "telepathically communicate" I grinned because that's what Eric tries to do in the book! Such a haunting book and movie!
omg thanks for reminding me i should really check out the book. i didn't understand this movie at all the first time i watched it, but as i grew older, i learned to truly appreciate this film and watching this scene stirs so many emotions in me all at once that i'm speechless. this is one of those movies that affect you so much that you can't stop thinking about it even days afterward.
This movie and this song finally made me accept my own past and the way I viewed myself and the world around me for so long. The ending was just what I needed to make me understand. It is still very hard to watch and listen but for some reason it will always be engraved in my memory as the part where I finally got a change to start my life and begin my new self... For that, I am extremely grateful.
and as we sat there listening to the carolers,i wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. but that was a lie, plus,i couldn't speak anyway. i wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. there was nothing we could do. so i just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate how sorry i was about what had happened. and i thought of all the grief and sadness and f***ed up suffering in the world, and it made me want to escape. i wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear.
I will never forget this movie, or the day I watched it with my friend, and feeling like out of the two of us I was the only one who really got it. She thought she had just watched a fucked up porno, and I thought I had just watched the most brilliant movie I had ever seen.
This scene always makes me cry... a beautiful movie, and a beautiful book too...... this is the kind of movie one can't describe. The graual interpolation between Silent Night and Samskeyti as a background to Neil's final words... is what in my opinion makes this the most tender and emotive scene ever recorded in a gay themed movie.
Warching this movie without any spoilers or descriptions was one of the best things I've ever done. I never cry because of films but the ending hirt so bad. I felt horrible for them. The scene where Neil gets r*ped towards the end already had me on edge. I just wish we could've seen Neil's friends a bit at the end but overall it was perfect. Maybe things won't be ok. Maybe you'll never feel better.
Hard movie to sit through but Joseph Gordan Levitt, was just terrific and riviting and this scene was one of the most subtle, beautiful and sad, I have seen in a long time.
Some of the most beautiful juxtaposition in the history of film. The choral sweet and childlike, whil the two molested teens deal with their inner anguish. Great film, great book.
This is most absolutely sad😔 Abuser is powerful to took children’s childhood memories, it ruined their lives & they had no idea, if abuser rapist tell you to keep our secret, you don’t know what it would happen to you, to a child too. It’s hard to describe how you feeling when you silent, nobody tell anything about what happened, still pretending. If You had a gut in your mind, then you had to tell your parent, or school, & police. Don’t be afraid, I know it’s not easy.. all you had to say something.
This is one of the most disturbing movies ever. Not in a blood and guts kind of distrubing, but the kind that really shatters you as a human being makes you really want to kill a child molester. Both of them were ruined because of a monster that never had to pay for what he did
Just WHAT? When Sigur Ros went in...im not even able to finish this sentece. That band is seriously the most beautiful thing. HOW THE FUCK Can you make something so sad and beautiful
**Asi que me quedé en silencio, intentando comunicarle telepaticamente cuanto sentía lo que había pasado. Cuando pienso en todo el dolor, tristeza y maldito sufrimiento que hay en el mundo, tengo ganas de escapar. Ahora deseo de todo corazon que pudieramos dejar este mundo atras, elevarnos como dos angeles y la noche y, magicamente...desaparecer.
This movie ... is so fucking Underrated! Watch it if you haven't , it is dark and disturbing but at the same time it's an exceptional piece of work! Joseph should got that Oscar Nom easily .... Powerful film.
Yeah it was a tough movie to watch but a really important movie to watch. Both young male leads were so brilliant. I loved it. My husband has a really hard time with it.
@MateoKalifas420 I totally agree with you. His acting is totally awesome, especially in this part. Althoug this movie give me the creeps, it always leave me with a good taste.
If you still haven't checked out the book, I suggest you do. =) It helps to explain the film much better. Some things are different, but I'll let you find out for yourself. ^^ Beautfiul scene.
@metalbark Well, this one is another one that can be hard to watch, and is pretty intense sometimes like this one: 2:37. It's about a group of teenagers and their individual views on the same day. (You'll see the same few scenes with different character's perspectives.) It deals with a lot of different teenage problems and there's an interesting twist at the end, as well as a lesson to learn.
Yeah, of course. I don't mean like completely different, but some of the lines are different. I'm pretty sure most of the scenes from the film are in there, as well as some others that we don't get to see. It's just more detailed, and you get to see stuff from other characters' perspectives, e.g.: Eric and Wendy, as well as the main characters.
Buenas!! Es la cancion Samskeyti de Sigur Ros, por lo general lo puedes bajar en algun programa de descarga tipo emule o ares, son muy facil conseguirlos buscalos Saludos!!!
Wonderful scene, in many ways we don't get the closure we want, they don't get to confront their abuser or bring him to justice, he's long gone. There's no sense that due to this everything will now be alright but they've found one another and now know the truth. There's hope for them both.

You put everything into words perfectly
The ending is so powerful that I forget the smooth transition from the scene to the ending credits.. Its like, the music just carries the scene forward till there is nothing left for us to see on screen.
This movie makes me cry every time I watch it
same
Holy shit. This scene hit home.
Such a powerful scene!
I cry every time
People don't realize sexual abuse and abuse in general sticks with you and you will never truly heal from it.
Some people do. They go to therapy
I wish there was something to undo the past... But there wasn't.
Innocence gone and there will be this little monster inside you that will grow and feast on you
I was also a victim of abuse in an early age and it was not easy to grow up with those dark memories in your past that still haunts, like the guy there whose very sex craving I'm now experiencing that and I'm making myself calm its hard to cope when the monster takes over your body and you became hungry for sex i know its funny but its not,

+mathias martiney Thank you for sharing your story.

I'm sorry. There is hope.
Platform Sunshine you said 100% true
This scene made me sob uncontrollably. Such a powerful movie.
had me shaking and stuttering i couldnt breathe correctly
this ending quote means so much to me i come back to it when i need to hear something to relate to i don’t think anyone has really put into words what it feels like and this does it perfectly it’s so hard to watch this movie

I was shaking and crying after watching this movie. I love this movie in EVERY way and I think it’s really beautiful.
as soon as i recognized the sigur ros song coming on at the end, i was immediately even more profoundly moved! sigh, so heartfelt, so saddening, but so touching. great film
An incredibley moving film. I was actually in tears at the end. Brilliant choice of music to end a masterpiece of a film.
Beautiful devastating despair.
A total fair, empathetic, tragic, and brave ending.
With Sigur Ros? Goddamn.
No words can describe how good this movie was and I am so glad I was able to run into it. I might not have been able to see the whole ending but I can pretty much guess. I have to say, out of all the scenes in this movie...this is the most touching
One of the most impactful endings in cinema. Hopeless and hopeful at the same time.
What a tragic film. Truly moving and extremely well acted.
this is a beautiful scene i just cant explain what makes me feel.. i saw it yesterday and i just cried and waited until the song ended to change the channel i really liked it
God, this is just such a perfect ending! I've just started reading the book and when he says "telepathically communicate" I grinned because that's what Eric tries to do in the book! Such a haunting book and movie!
This movie is a masterpiece. This one scene never fails to break my heart
It rips right through me hearing him saying he wants to undo the past and knowing he can't. Truly amazing movie.
I cried throughout the film.
i saw this film a few days ago for the first time and now i just cant get it out of my head.
such a powerful film.
omg thanks for reminding me i should really check out the book.
i didn't understand this movie at all the first time i watched it, but as i grew older, i learned to truly appreciate this film and watching this scene stirs so many emotions in me all at once that i'm speechless. this is one of those movies that affect you so much that you can't stop thinking about it even days afterward.

First time, I saw this scene I had a legit physical reaction. To say I cried would be putting it lightly.
it's so sad when brian breaks down into tears
Always makes me cry
and as we sat there listening to the carolers,i wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. but that was a lie, plus,i couldn't speak anyway. i wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past.

such a beautiful scene
One of the saddest scenes in cinema
Hard movie to sit through but Joseph Gordan Levitt, was just terrific and riviting and this scene was one of the most subtle, beautiful and sad, I have seen in a long time.
Idk how many times I've watched this...and I'm always crying. Gregg Araki forever
when the sigur ros song came on i got such chills! it's a great movie.
Some of the most beautiful juxtaposition in the history of film. The choral sweet and childlike, whil the two molested teens deal with their inner anguish. Great film, great book.
Thank you, I searched this song for a long time, thank you very much !!!
My favorite scene of my favorite movie.
This is most absolutely sad😔
Abuser is powerful to took children’s childhood memories, it ruined their lives & they had no idea, if abuser rapist tell you to keep our secret, you don’t know what it would happen to you, to a child too.

Don’t be afraid, I know it’s not easy.. all you had to say something.
I cry to this scene everytime! D':
60% of the time, i cry everytime
I remember crying all night after this film... Jesus it was really hard to watch.
I don't know why, but this scene was one of the scenes that got to me the most. Loved it.
This film is truly Araki's masterpiece. His ending is more beautiful & poetic than it's told in the novel.
just finished watching this movie and i lost it at this end part :( so sad. Such a raw movie though, it was great and terrifying all at once.
the best book i have ever read. the best movie i have ever seen.
yeah i know right, i was playing sigur ros on the piano way before i saw this film, and then i watched it and it broke my heart
This movie fucking hits me with all its drama. I fucking love it. And the last scene always brings me to tears with the dialogue
This is one of the most disturbing movies ever. Not in a blood and guts kind of distrubing, but the kind that really shatters you as a human being makes you really want to kill a child molester. Both of them were ruined because of a monster that never had to pay for what he did
always makes me cry ugh -3
A tear flowed from my left eye. Just one tear.
This part ALWAYS makes me tingle.. I'm tingling now.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this film gives the best performance by a young actor since the days of Brando and Dean.
Just WHAT? When Sigur Ros went in...im not even able to finish this sentece. That band is seriously the most beautiful thing. HOW THE FUCK Can you make something so sad and beautiful
This film ad this scene specifically kill me inside
**Asi que me quedé en silencio, intentando comunicarle telepaticamente cuanto sentía lo que había pasado.
Cuando pienso en todo el dolor, tristeza y maldito sufrimiento que hay en el mundo, tengo ganas de escapar.
Ahora deseo de todo corazon que pudieramos dejar este mundo atras, elevarnos como dos angeles y la noche y, magicamente...desaparecer.
Its like the emotions overflow from the screen and onto the watchers heart. :'|
Maybe you'll never be okay.
@GuitarAssassin2 i just watched it for maybe the sixth time. made me cry. the emotions are just so real and haunting.
Excellent movie and excellent book.
My all time fav movie. The very fucking best. I also just got the book and can't stop reading.
Best final scene ever!!
This movie ... is so fucking Underrated! Watch it if you haven't , it is dark and disturbing but at the same time it's an exceptional piece of work! Joseph should got that Oscar Nom easily .... Powerful film.
This is a great movie, very good acting by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Yeah it was a tough movie to watch but a really important movie to watch. Both young male leads were so brilliant. I loved it. My husband has a really hard time with it.
love this film and this endin also they used this tune wen sid slept with michelle on my fav tv series skins gr8 tune
Gorgeous ending.
Last scene from All of Us Strangers reminds me of this scene
this part justifies the movie ticket.
Nicely
I hope both of them became friends after that… beautiful movie but depressing
sigur ros ended this beautifully
Can someone tell me which movie ends with sigur ros' song?
I know this one and Vanilla Sky. I love both of them.
Great movies, great band.
Watch "127 hours"
The soundtrack in this movie deeply affect me
@MateoKalifas420 I totally agree with you. His acting is totally awesome, especially in this part. Althoug this movie give me the creeps, it always leave me with a good taste.
If you still haven't checked out the book, I suggest you do. =)
It helps to explain the film much better. Some things are different, but I'll let you find out for yourself. ^^
Beautfiul scene.
yea sigur ros is brillance. that doesnt even describe it really.
This movie when I was still a baby. Such a nostalgia
@nomolin another movie that ends with one of his songs is Penelope. a cute, nice movie ^^ with james mcavoy and christina ricci it ends with Hoppipola
@metalbark
Well, this one is another one that can be hard to watch, and is pretty intense sometimes like this one: 2:37. It's about a group of teenagers and their individual views on the same day. (You'll see the same few scenes with different character's perspectives.) It deals with a lot of different teenage problems and there's an interesting twist at the end, as well as a lesson to learn.
it's track 3 on the "brackets" album () a.k.a. "untitled" album.
this scene is really really sad
@Passi0nata LOL same! Great actor why is he not in more movies is beyond me nuff said!
i understand we have all and i mean all had black holes in are life's even me
yeah,sigur ros!!!!!
Samskeyti, my favorite song of Sigur Ros T_____T
Yeah, of course. I don't mean like completely different, but some of the lines are different. I'm pretty sure most of the scenes from the film are in there, as well as some others that we don't get to see. It's just more detailed, and you get to see stuff from other characters' perspectives, e.g.: Eric and Wendy, as well as the main characters.
Buenas!! Es la cancion Samskeyti de Sigur Ros, por lo general lo puedes bajar en algun programa de descarga tipo emule o ares, son muy facil conseguirlos buscalos Saludos!!!
This movie is really sad OMG
heya...where can watch this ??? we don't get movies like this in Asia...
It's too sad 😢
This movie is perfect. T__T
