Most Touching moment..what was yours?
In a movie filled with emotion, the most touching scene in the movie to me was when Enrique had to make the decision to just "walk away" to avoid being captured by the police or doing what he ultimately did, and lose his chance to be in America and go to NY. The viewers all must of been wondering what he would do. It was the emotional apex of the movie to me, even more-so than the reunion scene of mother and child, because EVERYTHING that had happened up to that pint HINGED on Enrique's decision to create the diversion so Carlito could run free. Seeing Enrique look up from the ground and give Carlito the "it's okay kid" look, was as emotionally powerful a moment as you can ever hope for in a movie. It brings tears every-time I think of it. It is what every director of a dramatic human-drama movie hopes to achieve and this movie did it in spades with that scene. I will never forget it.
