“You’ve got you, now. You don’t need me. Not anymore” - such a beautiful message. At the heart of this film is a deeply insecure woman finally realising her self worth
I agree. Fred may not have been the friend Liz wanted but he was definitely the friend she needed. This scene sure showed that underneath his crazy wild exterior, he had a lot of love for Liz and really cared about her being happy, like any friend would.
Jonathan Spindler Between her Mother and Charles, Lizzy was never allowed to be herself. Fred was all the things she wanted to say and do but couldn’t. The entire film Lizzy is a victim. We’re made to think she’s a victim of this chaotic figure no one else can see, but in the end, he’s the only one that is standing up for her. His parting gift was the gift of self-confidence. A much deeper meaning that a film like this would normally have
Did anyone notice all the tiny stars when Fred disappeared all went to Liz's heart? This shows that even though he is gone, she'll always have a place for him in her heart.
I saw little stars not hearts and didn't notice them going to her heart,their is alot of things in this movie like subliminal messages ect little things you really have to pay attention to.things I discovered every time me or my kids watched it
You don't need me not anymore so goodbye. It feels like he's saying goodbye to all his fans such a sad ending but a great comedy film and a great actor thank you for all the laughs and comedy fun rest in peace sir
To all the neglected children out there that didnt know why they felt so lonely and unloved this Movie was for you. I was 7/8 when this movie came out. Only as an adult did I finally understand why this movie resonated with my experience so well. So glad this film was made and is part of cinema history.
Yes! I always loved this movie - and finally rewatched it in 2022 - now that I know I was emotionally neglected as a child. Definitely a difference experience 😭
I couldn't have said this any better. This movie resonated with me as a kid, but even makes more sense now as an adult. We don't really know the trauma that we've gone through until we're older and can analyze it. Fred was an escape for Lizzie, just as the movie was an escape for us.
This part always gets me. Fred at this point drops his childish and juvenile way of acting and just acts like a loving friend to Liz here and telling her she can be fine without him. It’s so emotional and actually makes the movie have a lot of heart.
I had a crush on him too when I was a kid😂🙈 and it made me sad when they kissed and he couldn't be with her anymore... like I shipped it so hard and it just ended !
I agree with you there Daniel, so sad he passed away, just unexpected. He was always my favorite in Bottom and all the other comedies!! I've also been watching him doing the voice over of Mr Toad in Wind in the Willows, that version is my favorite one too out of all The Wind In The Willows and the sequel The Willows in the Winter!!
Made me cry, for me this scene officially was the end of her childhood, she realised that she wasn’t a child anymore and didn’t need her mother to keep treating her like one or dumbing her down, she realised she was an adult and could cope on her own. When she frees the ties on her younger self she was actually freeing her adult self, and wasn’t afraid anymore. The question remains of whether drop dead Fred was real or in her mind? I think he was always within her because he represented the child she still was, it only took a little bit of effort to bring him back , we can suppress our child side but even as adults it can pop up literally in a heartbeat. When he left for the last time he knew she was finally free and was at last an adult
This was so sad to watch him leave when she wanted him to stay with her. He gave her a real touching message. "You've got you. You don't need me anymore." 😭😭😭
I've related to this movie since a child. The older I get the more its relatable. This ending is lovely and sad. I cry every time. But I mostly relate to the relationship she has with her mother and how she finally lets go of her. Thats so empowering especially growing up with the narcissistic mother myself.
It's not so fictional after we grow up huh. As a kid, you undermine the value of relationship and overlook the little things that make up your life. This scene tears at my soul when I watch it now I think I have internal damage
He was an unreal actor and comedian. He was special.. Ben Elton , John Cleese , Ade Edmondson , Billy Connolly , Tony Robinson and Rowan Atkinson too name a few all said he was the most criminally underrated comedian of his time.
She Still needed him because the child inside her never grew up but after he helped Elizabeth face her fears and break the chains her mother had over her she was finally able to confront and comfort her inner child to be free. Since her inner child spirit was free it was finally time for Fred to move on because she no longer needed him and it was time to find and help another child just like her.
Painfully sad scene but even more so now Rik has gone from this world. He was a massive part of my teens and into my adult years. I had the good fortune of seeing him live. One of my hero's and sorely missed. Gone way too soon. RIP Rikster.
COME BACK RIK MAYALL!!! COME BACK TO THE HERE!!! UNBREAK OUR HEARTS!!! WE ALL PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU COME BACK!!! RAISE TODAY AND TOMORROW!!!, NOT YESTERDAY!!! 😢😢😢😢
To those that didn't get this Film I really feel pity for you, its a real rough Diamond, never Ever take yourself too seriously You'll end up with Cornflakes Disease 🤮
Even though this movie is thirty-two years old, but it still remains an ultimate classic movie which never dies with age! This is one of my most favourite childhood movies and even at the age of 43, it still makes me laugh in some parts, but this particular scene was always be a sad one. RIP Rik Mayall 1958-2014
I wish the entire soundtrack was available for the film (not just the medley available on here), as this piece in particular is so beautiful. Just the hug between him and Phoebe never fails to make me cry. My God, Rik was my childhood and I still miss him so much.
This scene reminds me of my best friend Warren. Haven’t spoke to him in 2 years. He’s going through something rn but I always told him he reminded me of Fred from this movie. He always laughed when I said that. I hope he’s ok but I miss him dearly
I love Rik Mayall. I can see how, at first, he could put people off this. He's absolutely full on and that could be seen as abrasive. I love it personally. But this ending, for everyone, is brilliant
Neglected. Forgotten. I grew up feeling lonely and unwanted. But I had some goofy friends that let me stay on their couches. Slept on their floors. Ate dinner with their families. I was forced to grow up before I even had a chance to experience the magic of being a kid. I wondered why I cried when I first saw this scene. I think I get it now.
I love both those actors they did very well together like it was real so sad I heard he died a few years ago,I showed my kids this movie when they were little they loved it,they always do quotes from it in public it's funny and all other movies they love to.great movie and I love her house she lived in when she first met Fred lol.
My daughter has just got into this film now, honestly this scene gets me everytime, Rik is my hero, all my comedy and my mates comedy was based around his style. Truly miss
The best part of the movie its sad but its good Lizzie realizes she loves drop dead fred hes in heart like u can see his sparkles when he leaves is there with her he will always be in her heart so beautiful!
It was never the greatest film and I can understand why people disliked it, but honestly - this scene was perfectly written and acted. The one scene where he's serious and doesn't make a fart joke at the end of the heartfelt part and it works perfectly.
Reminds me a great deal of Johnny Rotten but slightly toned down Rik Mayall’s appearance is. See the Public Image Ltd music video “Disappointed” to find out why? Can’t stop looking away at Phoebes here in this- she’s more attractive in this than she was in FAST TIMES. In the minority here speaking this!
My theory. Fred wasn’t just a imaginary friend but Lizzie’s spirit guide. Only appearing when she truly needed him. Lizzie freed her inner child in the end and found true inner peace & happiness. Therefore Fred was no longer needed. His work with her was done. In a way, he helped guide her through her healing process. And now it’s her time to take on the world without him, with her new & improved mindset.
Fred like other imaginary friends are kinda like guardian angels. They've been given the task of raising children who are miserable, insecure being abused etc and their goal is to make the child secure so that they will grow up to be independent adults who will allow themselves to be who they want to be and not let other adults treat them badly so that the children can be their own person and live independent lives and not be treated like children in adult life. Once they have made the child completely happy and are certain that the child will be the person they want to be, they have achieved their mission and hence are no longer needed and must move onto the next child. With Lizzy because Fred was taken away from her in childhood, it stunted that development and hence Fred's mission was incomplete hence why he had to stay with her a little longer until he could complete his mission In a scene that was cut from the movie, Fred even says to her "Elizabeth I cant stay with you forever. You're 27 years old it's embarrassing." Meaning that Fred and others really are only meant to help them when they are children.
Such a sad but beautiful scene. Criminally underrated film.
“You’ve got you, now. You don’t need me. Not anymore” - such a beautiful message. At the heart of this film is a deeply insecure woman finally realising her self worth

@@Spindler2007she loved him even though he messed a few things up
Did anyone notice all the tiny stars when Fred disappeared all went to Liz's heart?
This shows that even though he is gone, she'll always have a place for him in her heart.
Saw that the first time he was a good friend
@@thejellyfoxcuntebunte6164 indeed. Fred may not have been the friend Liz wanted but he was definitely the friend she needed.
Yuuuuuuccchhhhhhhhhhh
Beautifully well put man. 😢
I saw little stars not hearts and didn't notice them going to her heart,their is alot of things in this movie like subliminal messages ect little things you really have to pay attention to.things I discovered every time me or my kids watched it
Rik's sad passing 5 years ago makes Fred's goodbye more tearjerking as what he says to Liz can be to his fans as well :'-(
You cant ever say " you dont need me anymore" that's subjective
😢😢😢
False. The last bag holder is going down soon. Believe it.
"That's just tough, you have to go alone. I can't get back now." We miss you Rik 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
You don't need me not anymore so goodbye. It feels like he's saying goodbye to all his fans such a sad ending but a great comedy film and a great actor thank you for all the laughs and comedy fun rest in peace sir

He was my first crush, and I was so damn jealous she got to kiss him LOL Such a great movie. Rest easy Rik.
I had a crush on him too when I was a kid😂🙈 and it made me sad when they kissed and he couldn't be with her anymore... like I shipped it so hard and it just ended !
You two birds should see him as FlashHeart!
@@PHANTOMZ0NE 😂
I was jealous he got to kiss phoebe
Omg yous had a crush on him too? Are you millennials? I'm 34 ❤
This is a sad scene and even more sad now that Rik Mayall is gone.

@@Nostalgic-Memories89 Bottom was my favourite show with Rik.
@@danielwilliamson6180 same here. I have all the series. Rik Mayal was so funny.
This scene gets to me everytime. She lost her best friend
It hurts so much now to watch this compare to when I was a kid....RIP Rick, everyone still misses you 😭😭

I think fred was real as he moves onto another girl after this
This was so sad to watch him leave when she wanted him to stay with her. He gave her a real touching message. "You've got you. You don't need me anymore." 😭😭😭
It wasn't his time 😥😥
And its even sadder now that rik myalls dead
“So….. goodbye.”

My thoughts exactly
Same!

Me to
He was an unreal actor and comedian. He was special.. Ben Elton , John Cleese , Ade
Edmondson , Billy Connolly , Tony Robinson and Rowan Atkinson too name a few all said he was the most criminally underrated comedian of his time.
I’m in bits watching this, rest in peace Rik Mayall!
This makes me cry
Please come back Rik, life just isn't the same without you.
RIP Rick Bastard from the Young Ones
He knew his job was done.
I didn't understand this movie till now and now this scene fucks me up
She Still needed him because the child inside her never grew up but after he helped Elizabeth face her fears and break the chains her mother had over her she was finally able to confront and comfort her inner child to be free. Since her inner child spirit was free it was finally time for Fred to move on because she no longer needed him and it was time to find and help another child just like her.
I always cry at this scene even more since Rik Mayall died
Painfully sad scene but even more so now Rik has gone from this world. He was a massive part of my teens and into my adult years. I had the good fortune of seeing him live. One of my hero's and sorely missed. Gone way too soon. RIP Rikster.
The only movie scene that made me cry other than inside out
😑😢💔 ouch.. this hurts me more now.. more than it did when I was a kid, maybe it just makes more sense now.. Still.. Ouch
I’m a crying mess rn
Every child should watch this!
This movie will always have a warm place in my heart. I feel lucky to have gotten to watch it when i was young.
Im not crying, you are
COME BACK RIK MAYALL!!! COME BACK TO THE HERE!!! UNBREAK OUR HEARTS!!! WE ALL PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU COME BACK!!! RAISE TODAY AND TOMORROW!!!, NOT YESTERDAY!!! 😢😢😢😢

One of the saddest most underrated endings of all times. Long Live Drop Dead Fred.

Take back that sad word goodbye!!!, bring back that happy word hello to each and everyone of us Rik Mayall!!!
Rik from the 1980s Comedy series The Young Ones.
such a beautiful smile
This scene reminds me of my best friend Warren. Haven’t spoke to him in 2 years. He’s going through something rn but I always told him he reminded me of Fred from this movie. He always laughed when I said that. I hope he’s ok but I miss him dearly
It was that change in the music at 0:22 that always got me. A lovely scene and, my goodness, the world will always miss Rik.
😭😭😭😭😭😭 I can’t believe He’s gone. 🙏🏼
I love Rik Mayall. I can see how, at first, he could put people off this. He's absolutely full on and that could be seen as abrasive. I love it personally. But this ending, for everyone, is brilliant
This scene always makes me cry
Such a sad part a great film rest in peace rik xx
I love that scene. Adult Elizabeth freed young Elizabeth. It is young Elizabeth see's herself from the future
Rip Fred and Rick
The music kills me 😭😭😭 Does anyone know if I can get it anywhere?
The fact he was just a big kid all the way until Lizzy hugged her young self. Then I guess he knew.
One of the best imaginary friend films and this maybe the most strongest part of the film and saddest best scene
I loooved that man
Miss you Rik 🥹
“No...you have to go alone”
Neglected. Forgotten. I grew up feeling lonely and unwanted. But I had some goofy friends that let me stay on their couches. Slept on their floors. Ate dinner with their families. I was forced to grow up before I even had a chance to experience the magic of being a kid.
I wondered why I cried when I first saw this scene. I think I get it now.
I cried to this. *alot.*

The kiss is the only thing I don't like. Couldn't it have been on the forehead or cheek? Otherwise I find this wholesome.
