''Forever'' - the saddest movie scene ever. No contest.


It breaks my heart to watch this scene. I swear even the most heartless psychopath in the world would find it difficult not to shed a tear during this scene.

It's like the one thing every human dreads the most: when we are separated from a loved one, and there's nothing we can do about it. They still live in our hearts, forever. But that doesn't make it any less painful (at least not at first).
The fact that it happens during a cold winter's night seems to fit perfectly. What really gets to me though is that *beep* soundtrack in the background. As if the scene wasn't sad enough, they had to throw in miserable music to send us over the edge!

But one thing that always stuck in my mind. The guy comes back as a dog, so what will happen when the rest of his family die? They will come back as dogs too? And they will also remember their life before? ....that's when you realise that the plot of the movie is way too flawed. Then it becomes clear why the movie got poor reviews.

Personally, I prefer to stick to the old theory: when we die, we go to heaven. End of story.

It is one of the saddest but ''a ghost story'' (2017) has to take the cake. There is a similar undertone of profound grief running through both movies but the sadness felt in Fluke is offset somewhat by the legacy of his son, in ''a ghost story'' there is no legacy, just a man turned into a trapped spirit confused and desperate to join the physical realm again but never has the opportunity to and just leaves.
