Simon knows God has plans for everyone, but he wasn't counting on this one. On the fishing pier shows where little Simon's heart is and reaches out to God in tears of grief.
The whole class, even the "Tough" guys, in class were tearing up. The whole room was silent, aside from the sniffles and rustling of sleeves desperately wiping away tears. 😵😂😢😭😿💔
Poot Potatoes I was one of those guys. I'm a son of a bitch but I couldn't handle this movie. I'll never ever watch this movie. My favorite movie of all time.
The scene where he says I’m sorry gets me every time and that’s not in the laughing sense either. I actually have cried every single time I watched this
3:15 I used to think the scene was hilarious, but now it’s heartbreaking because it perfectly showcases what it feels like to go through grief like this. I’m saying exactly this to someone that recently passed away that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to.
It threw my family off I remember clearly this whole film sort of advertise as sort of a sandlot type comedy and a lot of moments like this seem extremely lighthearted and then all of a sudden somebody is killed with a baseball and they were just like “what are we watching”
This along with MouseHunt were the first films I could really remember watching in the theater. Both were not considered great films, but they still impacted me
I had never seen this movie. Watching this scene, I realized that it's based on "A Prayer for Owen Meany," by John Irving. That's one of my favorite books. I'll have to watch it.
Love this move cant stop the trees form falling down my beautiful face Simon did't mean to it wasn't his fault it not like he didn't it on purpose and everone thinks he did well he didn't its ok Simon u didn't not mean to it all right.
I just took a foul ball to the face while I was at the park watching my 3 young kids at a playground. It reminded me of seeing this movie like a decade ago. I didn't die, just extremely embarassing.
In the book (A Prayer for Owen Meany) it's even sadder. Owen (Simon in the movie) is used to get a walk because no pitcher can get within his strike zone. The coach won't let him swing. The other team hates it, Owen hates it and his teammates pick on him for it. One day he's sick of being made a fool and people never believing he's capable of achieving anything physical. So he decides to swing... and then hits Joe's mom, killing her. It eats him alive for years and is why he feels he must sacrifice himself (at the end). In the book its a bomb and not a bus in the water though.
You do know, some people can actually die that way, doesn't matter the size of a person that hit the ball, the speed velocity, the weight of the ball, and the hardness of the baseball can kill someone with a hit to the temple due to being one of the sensitive parts of the skull or where the neck and the base of the skull because of spinal cord is right there.
@@johnochiltree1170bro just admit ur wrong lmao. just because they explained how you can, in fact, die from a ball smack to the temple doesn’t make ‘em a buzzkill lol
I remember when I was a kid , at the age of about 6 me and my grandma an brother would watch this and it was our favorite movie but it was so sad because I was still a baby so I didn't understand why he had to die and it'd meake me upset
I must be a horrible person, but this scene cracked me up SO HARD when I was a kid. My brother and I created a scenario where Simon Birch was an evil, manipulative psycho instead of the wonderful and wholesome character he is portrayed to be in the movie. He deliberately murders the mother in cold blood, with precise accuracy. When Simon Birch is in court and testifying for his crime, he feigns innocence and naïveté, playing into the wholesome image that the town at wide generally sees him as. Simon Birch mutters, “Oh, I’m soooo, sooo sorry!” with an underlying tone of pure malevolence and maliciousness; you swear to god you even almost see the little bastard grinning. “I’m just an innocent little boy 😋🤪” The jury collectively let out an audible “awww” and ire at his stout yet adorable figure, feeling in their hearts such an endearing character could never steep to such depraved and immoral depths. The judge even glances over and is noticeably jubilant at little Simon Birch’s lovable performance, and loudly states, “Well, I guess we have it there, ladies and gentlemen! Now let’s get us home, I wanna be in my bed before 8; got a lot of X-Files I gotta catch up on.” The whole jury and the judge start to hurriedly shuffle their belongings into their backpacks, briefcases, purses and bags. You hear celebratory murmurs amongst the jury; “Glad we got this over with!” “Now I can go home and enjoy my Saturday!” “I think I’ll bake some banana bread later tonight, I do have some extra ripe bananas I left on th-“ A voice interrupts the clamoring suddenly, but forcefully. “UHHH, OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR????” The court room, in unison, look over at a figure sitting parallel to little Simon Birch. It’s Simon’s best friend; the same “best friend” who’s mother he had killed in cold blood just days before. An annoyed sigh overcomes the court room. The judge and the jury start unpacking their belongings and begrudgingly sit back down in their seats. You hear one member of the jury whisper “Well now I’m gonna be late for Steve Wilkos 😒” Simons best friend begins speaking, saying “Your honor, he CLEARLY did it on purpose!” The judge, with an offended look on his face, asks, “Now son… why would a cute, innocent, adorable little ball of love, joy and so lord HELP me all that is beautiful in this cold, broken world… do such a heinous act. This boy has put more smiles on my face than I hand fingers and toes to count on, and you want to ACCUSE him of hurting even as much as a hair on a flea?” A collective mob of the jury all remark, “mmmhhmmmm” “Son… I think you lost yo damn mind. Security, escort this a***ole out of my court room!” The jury break into cheers and applause. A little chant of “Throw him out!” Even begins. Simon Birch sits menacingly in his chair, twiddling with his hair. He knows he got away with it again, but even scarier is knowing that he can do it again and again. Nobody will ever see the truth of the monster he is. Simon feels untouchable in the moment of that revelation; only thing he can relate the overwhelming sense of power and influence to is that of being a deity himself. Then he goes home and plays fortnite
The kid who plays Simon Birch does nail the "I'm sorry..." lines, and makes it feel very genuine. But good god, the manipulative hack writing of the movie and this scene in general is unbearable. This is lazier and more blatant than the old "the beloved dog gets shot" scenario: it guarantees an emotional response that wasn't earned. Compare this to something like Brooks' exit in "The Shawshank Redemption", or when "The Iron Giant" becomes 'Superman', and I think you'll see what I mean
I’m crying 😭 this is a boy who did not expedede to kill someone he was very sorry also did Simon die because I saw he die last but he didn’t know that I was going to be able to help people
Its funny because the writing is so bad. Notice the narration and nonsense death? Its the point where a lot of people get taken out of the movie and it becomes satire... They even play a piano for him! Lol.
Any one else just burst into tears when he said "I'm sorry" in that tiny little voice?
right here😢😢😢
Me
Me I do everytime
All the time. he didn't mean it.
Oh my god! The first time I ever saw it. I couldn’t contain myself. Long live Simon, an angel with golden wings
The “I’m sorry” at the end is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve seen in a film
I used to bawl my eyes out when I watched this as a kid. Beautiful film.
I’m a grown man and I still do.
God the look on Joe's face when he stands up... he knows exactly what's gonna happen. This movie breaks my damn heart man.
Me too.
WHO WRITES THIS!?!?
The whole class, even the "Tough" guys, in class were tearing up. The whole room was silent, aside from the sniffles and rustling of sleeves desperately wiping away tears. 😵😂😢😭😿💔
Poot Potatoes I was one of those guys. I'm a son of a bitch but I couldn't handle this movie. I'll never ever watch this movie. My favorite movie of all time.
Love this movie, I can't stop the tears from falling. So so sad movie :(
Me too. So is my brother.
What should've been a glorious moment for Simon turned to be a tragedy
I distinctly remember watching this in my Middle School...the whole classroom laughed at the way he said "I'm sorry."
@Ethan Reynolds Well the way he acted in this scene, we couldn't help but snicker.
Ethan Reynolds I did, and I find the movie to be tonally inconsistent. That’s why I couldn’t help but snicker at that moment.
😭😭😭😭 I want to just hug Simon so much and give him all my love and that he's ok.
I remember watching this at a young age. This is a great tearjerker.
aww when he says "im sorry" its the cutest thing ever😭
I love the Simon Birch character I cried hard when he past away
Saw this in 9th grade and I tried not to cry in class. Went home and rewatched this scene and I couldn’t stop crying
this movie made me cry, love u simon
The scene where he says I’m sorry gets me every time and that’s not in the laughing sense either. I actually have cried every single time I watched this
Me too man.....me too...since I was a kid
i cried when simon birch said im sorry
3:23 me too.
I feel bad for the little guy he didn't mean to and it makes me cry to see this and it's more sad when he ran off and cry sorry it's so.sad
Bad idea for me to watch this in school. I was literally shivering from the heart-wrenching sound of the music and the grief.
THIS IS SO SAD I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW 😰
I was too.....very touching...
This is making me cry
3:15 I used to think the scene was hilarious, but now it’s heartbreaking because it perfectly showcases what it feels like to go through grief like this. I’m saying exactly this to someone that recently passed away that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to.
Nah this is still hilarious, the entire scene is.
pulls at my heart strings :(
I ALMOST CRIED :'(
I soo need to stop peeling onions.
This film hit too hard 😔
It threw my family off I remember clearly this whole film sort of advertise as sort of a sandlot type comedy and a lot of moments like this seem extremely lighthearted and then all of a sudden somebody is killed with a baseball and they were just like “what are we watching”
2:33-2:45 that still breaks my heart. ♥️
This movie is so sad. ):
Poor guy this was such a great movie
This along with MouseHunt were the first films I could really remember watching in the theater. Both were not considered great films, but they still impacted me
Does anyone else find this scene completely hilarious? I remember laughing when I was 8 and I'm laughing even harder on my 30s.
I had never seen this movie. Watching this scene, I realized that it's based on "A Prayer for Owen Meany," by John Irving. That's one of my favorite books. I'll have to watch it.

I don't understand. How could someone die just from getting hit in the head with a baseball?
I forgot Jim Carrey was in this film.
Looks at video: Hey that narrator sounds familiar.
Looks at the end of the film: HOLY MOLY its JIM CARREY.
Me too.
That was so sad

im bout ta cry
Haha how could a pop fly from that little guy kill a grown adult? Unintentionally one of the most hilarious scenes in movie history
Doesn't take much to fracture the skull when hit on the temple causing temporal arteritis, which is life-threatening. Remember only a movie.
You do know, some people can actually die that way, doesn't matter the size of a person that hit the ball, the speed velocity, the weight of the ball, and the hardness of the baseball can kill someone with a hit to the temple due to being one of the sensitive parts of the skull or where the neck and the base of the skull because of spinal cord is right there.

This part is sad because joe loses his mom and simon gets really sad

Jeeze, man!
Mehn I am in tears 😢
😭😭😭😭😭
Sooooooooo sad i just wanna cry and let them out he did't mean to it was a accident.
Seeing this film as an 8 year old boy made me dislike the sport of baseball and I never forget this scene any time I’m forced to go watch baseball.
That boy grew up to be Chance "cyrax" Wilkins
that kid already has it bad and i bet he feels worst
Does anyone know how to get in contact with Ian michael smith?
such a sad movie
Jim Carrey is in this film as adult Joe as well as narrating the film.
