The thing is after he lands in the pool, everything about the scene tells you it should be happy. Cheering, splashing, friends and celebration - and yet, it is gut wrenching painful. As Wilson walks off in dismay, we feel just like him.
Because this is textbook depression...you take extreme measures trying to find a little bit of excitement or something that moves your feelings..in the peak of his depression he went to the extreme thing that might kill him..or might give him few seconds of happiness..being anhedonic and unable to connect with other people is torture
@Ginger Ninja I feel sad and happy at the same time. Sad at how miserable House is and happy because finally, even for a brief moment, he was able to feel the thrill and joy.
I can't stop watching this scene. Truly captures the essence of self destruction. To be pushed so far into a place where consequence has no effect. It's amazing how far someone is willing to go, just to feel alive
Robert Sean Leonard was the best actor possible for character Wilson in House. You can see on his face that he cares about Greg. Great acting, no doubt.
This was personally one of my favorite scenes of the whole series. I truly thought he was going to jump to his own death. What is demonstrated here is how cold-hearted House has become after his heartbreak. If you watch the episode, House correctly diagnoses a Bartonella infection by literally blowing up a patient’s heart. The patient would’ve certainly died if House was wrong. After the intensity of the procedure, House was right, but he didn’t express any emotion. He was almost catatonic throughout the whole surgery. He sleeps with hookers and you see how drunk he gets by seeing the empty bottles in his bedroom. He’s at the point where he is just doing absolutely insane things just for the hell of it to provide him some form of entertainment with what is going on. This was one of them. After House’s breakup with Cuddy, House experiences psychological pain that leaves him apathetic and numb to emotions. Even with all the ways he tries to treat the pain, hookers, Vicodin, and crazy antics, House is still hurt. House is still seeking excitement. This pain that he’s going through is probably worse than the pain he lives with everyday in his leg.
in my opinion, House and Tony Soprano are similar. They are both obviously broken people, with terrible childhoods. Both deeply depressed people. Like House, Tony becomes more brutal and evil towards the end of the series. Two greatest shows of all time in my opinion.
the patient is that rodeo guy which after the operation had to say goodbye to those 8 seconds, and when House asked him how he could let those 8 seconds go like that he answered with teary eyes and a brave face that he have to find something else to do. House got influenced by him, one of the best episodes
One of the most brilliant scenes I've seen in television history. The bartender says "I guess their team won" but you can see from House's eyes that he figured out their team lost, and yet they're partying hard, which you only understand after you see House jumping into the swimming pool. The huge smile on his face which you never saw in the entire show thus far, implies that he decided to be happy and finally not feel miserable. The music choice was perfect.
That...actually makes a lot of sense. And genuinely poetic, that would fit in a TV show. Even so, the way the music picks up after the climax makes me think that this isn't intended as a triumphant moment. I think when he gets the kids to cheer that you "party harder" when you lose, he's admitting that he's just going to dive further into the hedonistic escapism
He’s such a prankster, orchestrating a prank to make it look like he killed a hooker to trick his concierge, having chickens in the hospital, driving a monster truck, driving a Segway.
Gripton Grup, I write these things at like 3 am I can barely remember what I did last week from just pure exhaustion. I am sorry on behalf of my horrible excuse of grammar.
@@YhurHurt The music wouldn't be so influential if we didn't know house so well. We know how the pain often controls his life but it won't controle his death. Same goes for his relantionship with Wilson wich plays a emotional role here. This show has some problems, but this scene ain't one of them.
@@YhurHurt the music made me feel the rawness and the misery of being in physical pain, echoing with what i think i know from House's chronic pain. And being really tired of it all. It was a perfect choice to me. I didn't feel sad. I felt compassionate and surprised '' oh, so ... What ... do ... you have in mind ... Jump? Oh ... No ... A smile ? Or a grin ? (Jumps to the pool) Oh! Okay ! Good! Yeah, not today mate. Good ! Yeah. Celebrate. You are alive. ''
This scene always tears me up. That ultimate build up to the end is just good writing. A metaphor to suicide that leads to House jumping into a pool of happiness. Brilliant.
I kinda feel like halfway this _was_ a suicide jump. He probably knew it would either kill him if he missed, or thrill him if he didn't. Either one was good enough at this point.
I agree. It makes sense when you know who house is as a character. I actually figured he would be the first of the main characters to commit suicide on the show, just by the way he suffered throughout the whole show.
@@VicinalElk44104 I agree. I also think it would be fitting that the only thing that could end house’s life, would be himself. Fits his arrogance. Like rick from rick and morty.
@@VicinalElk44104 I never thought of House as intentionally suicidal. Now if he killed himself doing something crazy like this thats a different story. Pushing the limits until he pushes too far.
I've had bartenders do this when there aren't any other customers and you don't say much. The longer they've been doing it, the more they feel the need to engage.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 I don't think it is at all. Its a smile of a man that's let go and simply wishes to have fun. Its not a smile of denial, it's beyond denial at this point, it's a smile of not caring anymore.
Not happiness. Joy, euphoria, certainly. Happiness is not a momentary pang brought on from adrenaline, though. Happiness is consistent. He was using joy as an escape.
One of the most memorable scenes in House. You know House was desperate, he was partying non-stop to cover is pain, and what happens when the party stops? I think he planned on ending his life, and then he saw Wilson and played it off like he was kidding around, but you know he was hurting deeply here. They really depicted depression and substance abuse well here.
I'm guessing he spent a lot of time helping his best friend irl through a similar place. If you know anything about Hugh Laurie's career, you know his best friend is Stephen Fry, who also struggled with depression and SI
well it dosent mean hes a amazing friend i can "like" a random person even a little and when they kill themselves i would have yelled NO because that was the only rational thought. but yes wilson is a amazing friend
william deng it makes more sense that strangers would just stand and stare just like those in this scene. Only someone emotionally invested would better to yell no in horror.
The relationship between House and Wilson is kind of the classic example of a person with extremely high intelligence and a normal person. House, with his brain he's locked within himself trying oh so hard to do things that makes him feel alive and in his own way curse at god and the world that left him with his leg and for his pains, so that's why his only passion left was the intellectual challenge of diagnosis while he actively tries to act different. The crazy things he does can be fully justified by his random spark of genius and his needs to "be alive", such as jumping off the balcony coz that's what he thought. He'd totally do it for fun in med school, so why the fuck not. It's a very hysterical smile he had when he's in the water, partially from the brief escape that is almost killing himself and that brief moment of "freedom" from his pains. Wilson however, portrays the regular person who has no problems with mediocrity because he is mediocre. He s mediocre in every senses that he himself admires House being capable of breaking free from his chains and has the balls to do extreme things. He craves excitement as much as House does, but he is not in House's kind of pain and as most regular person does, he is confined with his own sense of what's "sensible" so that's why he's the responsible one in the pair, which is again, why he loves House for being able to break free while being sad to see him on his self-destructive rampage. Wilson just has his void eating him alive on the inside while he holds it together.
Warlords0602 great explanation but i tjink you missed the point that house wants to live a normal live like wilson but can't because hes to intelligent.
Nobody really gets the better part. Wilson is equally miserable. He knows he's mediocre, unloved and equally lonely. The difference is that he doesn't experience the pain like House does but he knows that routine, regular life is grinding him to bits. So from time to time he goes out of the way and does stupid shit with House for fun. He's just less extreme, on both the pain and brilliance end. He's the "regular, boring" guy as a comparison to House, and introduced the element to keep House sane and House makes fun of his mediocrity and boring to emphasis how he's "different" as a main character.
House is always masking his pain by making everything a joke and playing heavier topics down with his quick wit. Deep down though, we all know he suffers. I think he forgets what it feels like to be alive. That's partly why he jumped I think. To feel something.
Yes. He's gone numb. The happiness others are feeling is meaningless, a social convention. They're just hypocrites who think they should be happy because everyone else is. House is stubborn in this area. He doesn't do happiness only because others are doing, to get accepted by the community. It's stupider than jumping out of a balcony.
i doubt it, speaking as someone whose similarly in pain 24/7 due to a severe spinal injury, pain reminds you every damn day your alive, after a while if your tired and run down from that pain, you kinda want the opposite, anything that'll give you a moment of peace from the pain, he's also on opiates which while can help numb pain to a degree, they can also cause hyperalgesia and you end up in even MORE pain than before, this was someone looking for peace.. and instead found another opportunity to play down his very real moment with a joke.. on wilson.
The way you think and process things is something rare which causes alot of pain to some and is extraordinary to others. - Some random person on the internet.
@@FUBARGunpla you got it right sir, as someone else who experiences chronic pain, it really does take a heavy toll on you, my brother's pain in his leg makes him want to die, and I know that thought swims around in my head every time a surge of pain pulses through either of my legs. Needing to take a substance to ease chronic pain, it's impossible not to get addicted, and it will still always hurt.
I love how they portrayed depression on House. A depressed guy just don't want to feel miserable, neither to show misery to others, he/she almost always wants to hide the pain with other emotions like anger or unfiltered joy.
Farjad Zaman I remember understanding his pain when he finally jumped, and remembering how I wanted his balls to finally do it myself. Until he yelled “canon ball”
This has got to be my favorite scene, besides the one in House's Head where they revealed that the necklace girl represented Amber. But anyways, this was great editing. The use of slow mo and that song. Such a short scene but really so effective. I cried almost immediately when I saw Wilson's face. The first time I'd seen this, I really thought he was giving up and that season 7 was the end of it. His smile, it seemed as though dying was the happiest thing he could've done.
Sylvia I believe he smiled because he finally won the mental battle, he made sure for a complete fact that they understand he truely is happy with his life, his decision. House didn't just win, he won.
0:43 What a performance. It was always great seeing House outside of his little bubble. Since most episodes are in the hospital, you mostly see his judgemental mockery and metaphorical riddles being openly blabbered to anyone with an ear. Then he goes outside and he completely changes, outside of his comfort zone he's reserved, introspective, and miserably distant. He looks at these people having fun and enjoying drinking and partying with sadness and confusion because he knows he's not like them, and I think that lack of normalcy, this addiction to his own internal world (which I could talk for hours about) is the barrier keeping him from them. When he drinks, it's extreme, when he parties is extreme, it's always forcibly destructive. So you see how his social behavior is completely performative. To me, House is the most interesting and complex character on TV. It's a shame we didn't have as many episodes of his life as we could've.
The moment I saw House go to the balcony I thought season 7 would be the end, and the look on Wilson's face when he jumped was pure terror mixed with sadness and disbelief. I love this show so much.
Muskaan Q Subedar and I am like dr.house....... Dr.house was with dr.wilson when he was suffering with cancer. Dr.house made Wilson's life more interesting at the end.
Ever since I finished house, no fucking show can fill the void it has left in my life. Never found such a relatable character (not intelligence wise of course). Hugh Laurie is a brilliant actor who played House perfectly, I’m so upset I finished the show. Never wanted it to end.
Watch it again..i have watched it thrice. Although the thrill is not same as first time but still you would see a lot of stuff that you missed in first go
I’ve been going through a lot recently, always on the edge of tears but never being able to cry. This was my ex and I’s show and we stopped watching at the end of season 6 before we broke up. It’s been almost a year now and I finally decided to finish this show on my own. This scene, this feeling, watching him smile and jump into the pool, drove me to tears. I’ve never felt more understood by a scene or a song or any artistic medium. Trying so hard not to get to this point, knowing how easy it would be to throw away all consequences and live a self destructive life, watching Wilson’s reaction, I don’t know what else to say besides how much my psyche needed this.
yea, im in dark place too, but i remember that life can get as dark as i let it, and it can always be worse or be better, so there is no point in letting it slide down. Without gym and learning i would have certainly be dead by now. This scene is one of the best in cinematographic history and i come back to it once in a while when im down
I came here ready to cry. I got a weirdly inspiring house scene... not complaining though (Also that song is so beautiful 0.0) Also people keep interpreting this as house going to kill himself before seeing Wilson but I think that after hearing what the bartender had said about wishing he could let loose but being too old struck something in house that he could prove the point that no matter how old or crippled he was he could still let go, have fun, and so stupid fun things. Like he’s a young spirit in an older person’s body. And no matter what his body’s condition was like he could still be free. Edit: so 6 years later. This song still kills me every time.
You are absolutely right about this scene! Screw age and all that excuses, we can be fun and wild at any age and stage of life if we chose to! Only we decide this, not social norms or whatever else.
Noriael Gamer no it wouldn't. People have jumped from higher than that. To put in perspective, he jumped from a bit over twice the height of a typical olympic diving board. It would have hurt quite a bit because he was in a cannon ball form, but i see little reason for it to cause any lasting harm.
Noriael Gamer The records in high diving 58.28 m (191.207 ft). The diver sustained some fractures of his thoracic vertabrae. People have fallen/jump from higher starting points and survived. For instance, there are known survivors from jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge (220 ft high).
All depends on how you land and a couple of other factors, falling from this height flat on your belly for example WILL kill you, dont make the exceptions the general rule, or make it the general rule and let natural selection do its thing
@@P0L4Rcraft Yeah all you can really do when jumping off from a great height, is imagine you're poking a hole into a solid ground you can go through. But someone going flat is either dead or has allot of luck to live and possibly sustain permanent injury.
Wilson’s reaction is perfect to this. Just sadness. He knows it’s nothing but a cover. I like the song. As someone who has depression it fits really well and how it makes you feel. My mind is the key. They explored mental illness really well in the series.
As a big fan of Peter Gabriel, it's great to hear him in this, it adds so much to an already incredible scene. This is the height of filmmaking. Just pure perfection
Everyone else is pointing and Wilson is the only one to cry out "No!" Everyone else is super excited when he hits the water, Wilson looks like he is about to heal over with a stroke. If it were the rest of House's team, they'd all be saying things like "Should we stop him?" and "This is our chance to finally be rid of him"
Silent Gamer2015 It’s shown a good portion of his team actually like him in the later seasons, Thirteen genuinely cares about him as a person, Forman respects his skill, Chase actually feels like a genuine friend to him at points.
They don't hate him neither do they want to get rid of him. They all know he's the best and his methods are unorthodox but it pushes them to be the best versions of themselves. He's critical and mocks them because he knows best and in a way he's teaching them
This was monumental when it first aired. House always chooses life, over death. But for a second I doubted that, watching the first time. Also great song!
No, House's decision to "jump" stemmed back from the conversation with the bartender at the start of the clip. You see House reflecting on the bartender's comments about wishing he was still that age with no responsibilities and their whole life ahead of them. How the bartender wished he was still that age so he could "let loose." I think that with everything else happening in season 7 it struck a chord with House and he wanted to prove to himself that while the bartender may be ready to accept old age and responsibility, House wasn't.
Having suffered from depression and having been suicidal, seeing this... made me cry... tears of absolute joy, at the idea of a broken man like myself truly letting go. Finding that his *mind holds the key* and even if its just for a moment... right at the swelling of the orchestra there is a smile, of pure joy.
The what do you do when you win/lose line is gold. I know that it's not meant to be; it's House running away from his problems, but it definitely is helpful.
I'll never forget how I felt watching this scene for the first time. Once he started walking to the balcony, I had such a bad feeling. But that exact moment at 2:59 when he turns, I knew he was going to look at that little stool by the rail. I really thought he was going to try and kill himself. Even though he didn't, only getting an adrenaline rush, you know what he was thinking about here.
One of my favourite scenes. I think this represents that Wilson and House were the only ones always there for each other. Also represents how much House believes that death would be liberating (THAT HUGE SMILE OF SATISFACTION). Too bad Wilson had to die in the end, how would house live without him?
Years later and this scene is still stuck in my head. It’s so powerful. I always end up rewatching is at 3 am when I can’t sleep, something about it just completely captures me.
We watched the show when my father (a doctor of 40 years practice ) walked in and looked at the screen and said: That's all pretty right (compared to other hospital shoes at the time) but this guy is an addict. There was no pill taking or anything. Shows how great Hugh Laurie is as an actor. A sever percent of doctors are addicted to some sort (mostly diazepam or opioids) because they treat themselves and think they are in control but they are not...
Paroles - Lyrics: «My Body is a Cage» (English - Français) - Arcade Fire, album Neon Bible (2007)... I love this song ! :) My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé (x2) I'm standing on a stage Je me tient sur la scène Of fear and self doubt De la peur et du doute de soi It's a hollow play C'est une représentation vide But they'll clap anyway Mais ils applaudissent quand même My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé My mind holds the key (x2) Mon esprit détient la clé I'm living in an age Je vis dans un âge That calls darkness light Qui appelle les ténèbres en lumière Though my language is dead Bien que ma langue est morte Still the shapes fill my head Les formes emplissent encore ma tête I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère Whose name I don't know Dont je ne sais pas le nom Though the fear keeps me moving Bien que la peur me fasse encore bouger Still my heart beats so slow Reste mon cœur qui bat si lentement My body is a... Mon corps est une... Is a... (x8) Est une... My body is a cage (x2) Mon corps est une cage My mind holds the key Mon esprit détient la clé My body is a cage Mon corps est une cage We take what we are given Nous prenons ce qu'on nous a donné Just because you've forgotten Juste parce que tu as oublié That don't mean you're forgiven Ne veut pas dire que tu as pardonné I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère That screams my name at night Qui crie mon nom la nuit But when I get to the doorway Mais lorsque j'arrive à la porte There's no one in sight Il n'y a personne en vue I'm living in an age Je vis dans une ère They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love Ils rient quand je danse avec celle que j'aime But my mind holds the key Mais mon esprit détient la clé You're standing next to me Tu te tiens près de moi My mind holds the key Mon esprit détient la clé Set my spirit free (x2) Libère mon esprit Set my body free (x3) Libère mon corps
Wilson walks away sadly because he knows what's really happening. House didn't jump to party, or to have fun. He jumped cuz he was chasing a freedom he doesn't have. To feel something other than pain. He jumped because he didn't care anymore, and Wilson knows that.
"What do you do when lose?" House wasn't just talking about the team. The scenes starting at 5:13 are incredible and portray well how profound breaking with Cuddy was.
Being internally divided is silent agony, indeed despair. What is really tragic about this is that there's no bottom line for despair, it and self-wreck are both the same thing.
This is one of those scenes that turned House MD as a series from Great to God tier. All aspects of story telling ,from the screenplay, to the cinematography to the (OMG) song selection, the suspense...absolute gold.
I love how this is a genius homage-with-a-twist on the Reichenbach Falls scene from the original Sherlock Holmes and the Fall in the Sherlock tv series. :)
For most it's a sad scene. The way he jumps to his supposed death, when nothing matters to him and he just wants to feel alive for a second, but when you're in that position and you see this you feel genuinely happy, because you want to do it too, feel alive.

Not so much a pool of happiness as the manic end of a manic depressive pool.

@@JeffMartin84 have u watched the episode where he puts a knife in a socket ?
@@bl41ck97 Yes absolutely. He also called Wilson before doing it.
I find it funny how the bartender is the one confiding rather than the other way around.
In Soviet Russia, bartenders....oh, wait, it's in the States!!
The sign of an annoying bartender
House is a diagnostician after all.
I've had bartenders do this when there aren't any other customers and you don't say much. The longer they've been doing it, the more they feel the need to engage.
Bartenders have feeling too
Next you see a sign on the balcony that says no cannonballs allowed.
Himym
Lol
Absolutely no boogie boarding
more like, the balcony doors are locked af and boarded up
"Sometimes I wish I can act like that again."
This hurts if you never got to experience it to begin with.
Hurts worse when you have it, know the feeling and then have it taken away from you
I never did a lot of things others my age did, but then again I could never sympathize with them.
And besides I consider myself too prudent and perhaps prideful to regret that which I haven't done, but had the opportunity to do.

@@christopher8659 Exactly...
4:36 A genuine smile of true happiness from a guy suffering a lifetime of pain. God I freakin' love this show!!!
That's a smile of denial, my man.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 I don't think it is at all. Its a smile of a man that's let go and simply wishes to have fun.
Its not a smile of denial, it's beyond denial at this point, it's a smile of not caring anymore.
@@collodion1884 he clearly still cared based on what happened afterwards. I don’t know if denial is the right word for it though. It’s escapism.
Its like " laugh or cry" situation
Not happiness. Joy, euphoria, certainly. Happiness is not a momentary pang brought on from adrenaline, though. Happiness is consistent. He was using joy as an escape.
One of the most memorable scenes in House. You know House was desperate, he was partying non-stop to cover is pain, and what happens when the party stops? I think he planned on ending his life, and then he saw Wilson and played it off like he was kidding around, but you know he was hurting deeply here. They really depicted depression and substance abuse well here.
I'm guessing he spent a lot of time helping his best friend irl through a similar place. If you know anything about Hugh Laurie's career, you know his best friend is Stephen Fry, who also struggled with depression and SI
i wonder how many people watching this episode thought it was a suicide jump at first. i know i did
I was crying the first time I saw it
me too!
Madeline Brigit I think he was going to kill himself... truly but then he saw Wilson and somehow decided to sober up.
me
That's pretty much how it was set up, intentionally.
Wilson is such an amazing friend ❤️You can see how much he truly cares about House when he yells no
well it dosent mean hes a amazing friend i can "like" a random person even a little and when they kill themselves i would have yelled NO because that was the only rational thought. but yes wilson is a amazing friend
zax al ghul but no one yelled
because nobody likes house XD
william deng it makes more sense that strangers would just stand and stare just like those in this scene. Only someone emotionally invested would better to yell no in horror.
Poor Wilson...
They do, people just have shitty friends.
I've always believed that because Wilson has to be so nice all the time he needs someone like House in his life just as much as House needs him.
The relationship between House and Wilson is kind of the classic example of a person with extremely high intelligence and a normal person. House, with his brain he's locked within himself trying oh so hard to do things that makes him feel alive and in his own way curse at god and the world that left him with his leg and for his pains, so that's why his only passion left was the intellectual challenge of diagnosis while he actively tries to act different. The crazy things he does can be fully justified by his random spark of genius and his needs to "be alive", such as jumping off the balcony coz that's what he thought. He'd totally do it for fun in med school, so why the fuck not. It's a very hysterical smile he had when he's in the water, partially from the brief escape that is almost killing himself and that brief moment of "freedom" from his pains.
Wilson however, portrays the regular person who has no problems with mediocrity because he is mediocre. He s mediocre in every senses that he himself admires House being capable of breaking free from his chains and has the balls to do extreme things. He craves excitement as much as House does, but he is not in House's kind of pain and as most regular person does, he is confined with his own sense of what's "sensible" so that's why he's the responsible one in the pair, which is again, why he loves House for being able to break free while being sad to see him on his self-destructive rampage. Wilson just has his void eating him alive on the inside while he holds it together.
Warlords0602 great explanation but i tjink you missed the point that house wants to live a normal live like wilson but can't because hes to intelligent.
Nobody really gets the better part. Wilson is equally miserable. He knows he's mediocre, unloved and equally lonely. The difference is that he doesn't experience the pain like House does but he knows that routine, regular life is grinding him to bits. So from time to time he goes out of the way and does stupid shit with House for fun. He's just less extreme, on both the pain and brilliance end. He's the "regular, boring" guy as a comparison to House, and introduced the element to keep House sane and House makes fun of his mediocrity and boring to emphasis how he's "different" as a main character.
House is always masking his pain by making everything a joke and playing heavier topics down with his quick wit. Deep down though, we all know he suffers. I think he forgets what it feels like to be alive. That's partly why he jumped I think. To feel something.
Yes. He's gone numb. The happiness others are feeling is meaningless, a social convention. They're just hypocrites who think they should be happy because everyone else is. House is stubborn in this area. He doesn't do happiness only because others are doing, to get accepted by the community. It's stupider than jumping out of a balcony.
i doubt it, speaking as someone whose similarly in pain 24/7 due to a severe spinal injury, pain reminds you every damn day your alive, after a while if your tired and run down from that pain, you kinda want the opposite, anything that'll give you a moment of peace from the pain, he's also on opiates which while can help numb pain to a degree, they can also cause hyperalgesia and you end up in even MORE pain than before, this was someone looking for peace.. and instead found another opportunity to play down his very real moment with a joke.. on wilson.
The way you think and process things is something rare which causes alot of pain to some and is extraordinary to others.

@@FUBARGunpla you got it right sir, as someone else who experiences chronic pain, it really does take a heavy toll on you, my brother's pain in his leg makes him want to die, and I know that thought swims around in my head every time a surge of pain pulses through either of my legs. Needing to take a substance to ease chronic pain, it's impossible not to get addicted, and it will still always hurt.
I love how they portrayed depression on House. A depressed guy just don't want to feel miserable, neither to show misery to others, he/she almost always wants to hide the pain with other emotions like anger or unfiltered joy.

This thread is so morbid and depressing.
This has got to be my favorite scene, besides the one in House's Head where they revealed that the necklace girl represented Amber. But anyways, this was great editing. The use of slow mo and that song. Such a short scene but really so effective. I cried almost immediately when I saw Wilson's face. The first time I'd seen this, I really thought he was giving up and that season 7 was the end of it. His smile, it seemed as though dying was the happiest thing he could've done.
Sylvia I believe he smiled because he finally won the mental battle, he made sure for a complete fact that they understand he truely is happy with his life, his decision. House didn't just win, he won.
i know they set it up perfectly to make it look like he was gonna try to end it all lol
But rewatching the episode also gives it a different perspective; they clearly lay out hints on why he isn't being suicidal.
@@jacobshirley3457 Indeed. It's a very well constructed scene...but anyone who knows House knows he'd never kill himself.
Lovely.

Always works out lol but sprinkle in some craziness haha

0:43 What a performance.
It was always great seeing House outside of his little bubble. Since most episodes are in the hospital, you mostly see his judgemental mockery and metaphorical riddles being openly blabbered to anyone with an ear. Then he goes outside and he completely changes, outside of his comfort zone he's reserved, introspective, and miserably distant. He looks at these people having fun and enjoying drinking and partying with sadness and confusion because he knows he's not like them, and I think that lack of normalcy, this addiction to his own internal world (which I could talk for hours about) is the barrier keeping him from them. When he drinks, it's extreme, when he parties is extreme, it's always forcibly destructive. So you see how his social behavior is completely performative. To me, House is the most interesting and complex character on TV. It's a shame we didn't have as many episodes of his life as we could've.
The moment I saw House go to the balcony I thought season 7 would be the end, and the look on Wilson's face when he jumped was pure terror mixed with sadness and disbelief. I love this show so much.
I guess you could say we all *jumped* to conclusions.
lol
This comment is so underrated🤪
I wanna be a friend like wilson
Muskaan Q Subedar and I am like dr.house....... Dr.house was with dr.wilson when he was suffering with cancer. Dr.house made Wilson's life more interesting at the end.

I’m like house. And I tell you what. It doesn’t worth been like wilson.
"It doesn't worth been like wilson."
That's deep...
The song, the slow motion, the action of jumping throwing yourself into the nothingness one of the best scenes ever
Ever since I finished house, no fucking show can fill the void it has left in my life. Never found such a relatable character (not intelligence wise of course). Hugh Laurie is a brilliant actor who played House perfectly, I’m so upset I finished the show. Never wanted it to end.
I have only felt that way about 3 shows in my adult life. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and this.
When i finished house i started watching house again easy fix i felt like that too
good news for you. the show has Turkish version. and its name is hekimoğlu.
Watch it again..i have watched it thrice. Although the thrill is not same as first time but still you would see a lot of stuff that you missed in first go
@@voyagerlast Just watched the trailer, very interesting. I'll definitely check it out
I’ve been going through a lot recently, always on the edge of tears but never being able to cry. This was my ex and I’s show and we stopped watching at the end of season 6 before we broke up. It’s been almost a year now and I finally decided to finish this show on my own. This scene, this feeling, watching him smile and jump into the pool, drove me to tears. I’ve never felt more understood by a scene or a song or any artistic medium. Trying so hard not to get to this point, knowing how easy it would be to throw away all consequences and live a self destructive life, watching Wilson’s reaction, I don’t know what else to say besides how much my psyche needed this.
yea, im in dark place too, but i remember that life can get as dark as i let it, and it can always be worse or be better, so there is no point in letting it slide down. Without gym and learning i would have certainly be dead by now. This scene is one of the best in cinematographic history and i come back to it once in a while when im down
I hope we all get better. No one deserves to be caged...
What you gained from this is the highest hope of every artist. God is an artist.

Absolutely my favorite dark scene in the whole show
I came here ready to cry. I got a weirdly inspiring house scene... not complaining though (Also that song is so beautiful 0.0)
Also people keep interpreting this as house going to kill himself before seeing Wilson but I think that after hearing what the bartender had said about wishing he could let loose but being too old struck something in house that he could prove the point that no matter how old or crippled he was he could still let go, have fun, and so stupid fun things. Like he’s a young spirit in an older person’s body. And no matter what his body’s condition was like he could still be free.
Edit: so 6 years later. This song still kills me every time.
You are absolutely right about this scene! Screw age and all that excuses, we can be fun and wild at any age and stage of life if we chose to! Only we decide this, not social norms or whatever else.
I totally agree!
I really like your interpretation
This scene is simultaneously so happy yet so tragic, so exciting yet so deeply horrific, its fascinating

House is so numb he will do something as crazy as jumping from a 7-story building into pool.
Eh, Canadian Gamer Which realisticly would likely kill him as much as the pavement would...
Noriael Gamer no it wouldn't. People have jumped from higher than that. To put in perspective, he jumped from a bit over twice the height of a typical olympic diving board.
It would have hurt quite a bit because he was in a cannon ball form, but i see little reason for it to cause any lasting harm.
Noriael Gamer The records in high diving 58.28 m (191.207 ft). The diver sustained some fractures of his thoracic vertabrae.
People have fallen/jump from higher starting points and survived. For instance, there are known survivors from jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge (220 ft high).
All depends on how you land and a couple of other factors, falling from this height flat on your belly for example WILL kill you, dont make the exceptions the general rule, or make it the general rule and let natural selection do its thing
@@P0L4Rcraft Yeah all you can really do when jumping off from a great height, is imagine you're poking a hole into a solid ground you can go through. But someone going flat is either dead or has allot of luck to live and possibly sustain permanent injury.
I was terrified when I saw house jump off the building until as well after he fell off the building then I just laughed

Wilson’s reaction is perfect to this. Just sadness. He knows it’s nothing but a cover. I like the song. As someone who has depression it fits really well and how it makes you feel. My mind is the key. They explored mental illness really well in the series.
This scene is perfect. The music, acting everything.
Özge Arabacı Agreed. Amazing filmmaking, really.

This scene is my favorite. It shows how much someone goes through with addiction, depression and self destruction.
This scene is absolute cinematic perfection.
Everyone else is pointing and Wilson is the only one to cry out "No!"
Everyone else is super excited when he hits the water, Wilson looks like he is about to heal over with a stroke.
If it were the rest of House's team, they'd all be saying things like "Should we stop him?" and "This is our chance to finally be rid of him"
I know they can't stand his shit, but i don't think they are THAT cold-blooded.
Silent Gamer2015 It’s shown a good portion of his team actually like him in the later seasons, Thirteen genuinely cares about him as a person, Forman respects his skill, Chase actually feels like a genuine friend to him at points.
They don't hate him neither do they want to get rid of him. They all know he's the best and his methods are unorthodox but it pushes them to be the best versions of themselves. He's critical and mocks them because he knows best and in a way he's teaching them
Silent Gamer2015 that’s just for visual effect. Wilson is the only one who wasn’t an extra.
I think Chase, Cameron, Thirteen and Kutner did care a lot for him.
I was really amazed when i first saw this, spectacular cinematography
Me: Don't party too much
Inner Me: *This*

This was monumental when it first aired. House always chooses life, over death. But for a second I doubted that, watching the first time. Also great song!

ain't that the lifehack
He was so going to jump. He intended to kill himself but he saw Wilson and decided against it
No.
What was he going to do, jump farther or jump short? Or jump off to the side?
Yes.
No, House's decision to "jump" stemmed back from the conversation with the bartender at the start of the clip. You see House reflecting on the bartender's comments about wishing he was still that age with no responsibilities and their whole life ahead of them. How the bartender wished he was still that age so he could "let loose." I think that with everything else happening in season 7 it struck a chord with House and he wanted to prove to himself that while the bartender may be ready to accept old age and responsibility, House wasn't.
I was scared that after seeing Wilson, House would have thought that he had won and then killed himself
Having suffered from depression and having been suicidal, seeing this... made me cry... tears of absolute joy, at the idea of a broken man like myself truly letting go. Finding that his *mind holds the key* and even if its just for a moment... right at the swelling of the orchestra there is a smile, of pure joy.
The what do you do when you win/lose line is gold. I know that it's not meant to be; it's House running away from his problems, but it definitely is helpful.
I'll never forget how I felt watching this scene for the first time. Once he started walking to the balcony, I had such a bad feeling. But that exact moment at 2:59 when he turns, I knew he was going to look at that little stool by the rail. I really thought he was going to try and kill himself. Even though he didn't, only getting an adrenaline rush, you know what he was thinking about here.
When carter was killing him self house told Cady it's not how he thinks about Life
One of my favourite scenes. I think this represents that Wilson and House were the only ones always there for each other.
Also represents how much House believes that death would be liberating (THAT HUGE SMILE OF SATISFACTION).
Too bad Wilson had to die in the end, how would house live without him?
Years later and this scene is still stuck in my head. It’s so powerful. I always end up rewatching is at 3 am when I can’t sleep, something about it just completely captures me.
4:01 I love this shot from inside the room.
My body is a cage is exactly what describes what I feel during my sleep paralysis.
I know, right?
This scene makes the entire series in my opinion. It perfectly shows the guy House is, he must be the loudest in the room and give the biggest splash.
That beer house is drinking is probably full of chlorine..
I don't think he cared at that point heh.
chlorinated water but same difference
KucklePuff well most beers have carbonated water. But since he jumped in a pool its full of chlorine water.
And pee
the beer was above the pool tho
Lmao when I heard him scream CANNONBALL I literally died
Literally?
Rest In Peace then lol
My heart skipped a beat during this scene
I saw this type of smile on Dr. House's face for the first time.
this song is such an encapsulation of house too “my body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one i love but my mind holds the key”
I absolutely love Wilson!! Such a good guy
We watched the show when my father (a doctor of 40 years practice ) walked in and looked at the screen and said: That's all pretty right (compared to other hospital shoes at the time) but this guy is an addict. There was no pill taking or anything. Shows how great Hugh Laurie is as an actor.
A sever percent of doctors are addicted to some sort (mostly diazepam or opioids) because they treat themselves and think they are in control but they are not...

Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime
But my mind holds the key
Mais mon esprit détient la clé (x2)
I'm standing on a stage
Je me tient sur la scène
Of fear and self doubt
De la peur et du doute de soi
It's a hollow play
C'est une représentation vide
But they'll clap anyway
Mais ils applaudissent quand même
My body is a cage
Mon corps est une cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
Qui m'empêche de danser avec celle que j'aime
But my mind holds the key
Mais mon esprit détient la clé
My mind holds the key (x2)
Mon esprit détient la clé
I'm living in an age
Je vis dans un âge
That calls darkness light
Qui appelle les ténèbres en lumière
Though my language is dead
Bien que ma langue est morte
Still the shapes fill my head
Les formes emplissent encore ma tête
I'm living in an age
Je vis dans une ère
Whose name I don't know
Dont je ne sais pas le nom
Though the fear keeps me moving
Bien que la peur me fasse encore bouger
Still my heart beats so slow
Reste mon cœur qui bat si lentement
My body is a...
Mon corps est une...
Is a... (x8)
Est une...
My body is a cage (x2)
Mon corps est une cage
My mind holds the key
Mon esprit détient la clé
My body is a cage
Mon corps est une cage
We take what we are given
Nous prenons ce qu'on nous a donné
Just because you've forgotten
Juste parce que tu as oublié
That don't mean you're forgiven
Ne veut pas dire que tu as pardonné
I'm living in an age
Je vis dans une ère
That screams my name at night
Qui crie mon nom la nuit
But when I get to the doorway
Mais lorsque j'arrive à la porte
There's no one in sight
Il n'y a personne en vue
I'm living in an age
Je vis dans une ère
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
Ils rient quand je danse avec celle que j'aime
But my mind holds the key
Mais mon esprit détient la clé
You're standing next to me
Tu te tiens près de moi
My mind holds the key
Mon esprit détient la clé
Set my spirit free (x2)
Libère mon esprit
Set my body free (x3)

Another powerful song with a similar mood is "I Grieve".
Wilson walks away sadly because he knows what's really happening.
House didn't jump to party, or to have fun. He jumped cuz he was chasing a freedom he doesn't have. To feel something other than pain.
He jumped because he didn't care anymore, and Wilson knows that.
I thought he found a new case when he blankly stare at the crowd in the bar
When I first saw this I said *DONT FUCKING JUMP*

Well house was based off of the Sherlock books sooo....
"What do you do when lose?"
House wasn't just talking about the team. The scenes starting at 5:13 are incredible and portray well how profound breaking with Cuddy was.
Being internally divided is silent agony, indeed despair. What is really tragic about this is that there's no bottom line for despair, it and self-wreck are both the same thing.
The song is a masterpiece.
Peter Gabriel's voice is amazingly beautiful.
This is one of those scenes that turned House MD as a series from Great to God tier. All aspects of story telling ,from the screenplay, to the cinematography to the (OMG) song selection, the suspense...absolute gold.
I love how this is a genius homage-with-a-twist on the Reichenbach Falls scene from the original Sherlock Holmes and the Fall in the Sherlock tv series. :)
Holy shit, you are absolutely right. Didn't think of that.
I know right! Its amazing!!!
You know this came out long before Sherlock right?
Uhh this came out way before Sherlock
And his house number is 221...
This clip is the greatest achievement a song can get.
i absolutely adore the song used. i like to listen to it late at night when i want to sleep, despite it putting me in a downish sort of mood.
For most it's a sad scene. The way he jumps to his supposed death, when nothing matters to him and he just wants to feel alive for a second, but when you're in that position and you see this you feel genuinely happy, because you want to do it too, feel alive.
Wilson: they had me in the first half not gonna lie
This song is in the dark series too! I love it!
the more trapped in reality we feel, the more inclined we feel to go outside the lines in order to break free
so far the best usage of this song in a history of filmography, hands down
