Most powerful scenes

I just finished watching this. I think it is a great movie as it succeeds in evoking so much emotion!...I felt shocked, disturbed, sad, pity, angry, moved, disgusted, terrified, chilled to the bone, hopeful, happy...all in the span of two hours. Its a movie to make you think and feel.

(SPOILER ahead:)

The scene that scared me the most was when Gomez stares at Irene's cleavage.
That sick look in his eyes...To think that people like him exist and walk around seeming perfectly normal.

Also in the last scene, I couldn't help but feel horrified by Gomez's plight. Until I saw that, I kept wishing that he suffers enough to pay for what he did. But when I really saw him old and isolated, I couldn't help but feel pity. But, he deserved it.

However, I think it was the husband Morales who had it the worst. His whole life was ruined.

Well, what about you guys? Which scene did you find the most powerful or moving?

The scene in the football stadium took my breath away.

The scene at the train station where her eyes seem to be pleading to reveal love and the ending scene.

Definitely the elevator scene. It was chilling and scary! Words or music cannot describe the fear that Esposito and Irene were in that elevator with Gomez. Just great scene!!

The interrogation of Gomez.

The train scene.. Beautiful!

This movie was a surprise package. I didn't expected to be so good. What was amazing is the fact that the politics affects common man when you least expect it and affects personal life. I certainly believe Esposito beginning to write a novel prompts how the politics changed his life and people surrounding him. He finds himself after 25 years which is simply great!

I think the scene that got me the most, was when Esposito is telling Morales about how he thinks his friend died, and how he thinks his friend turned down all the pictures so the guys their to kill him would think they were killing Esposito. Basically giving his life for for his best friend.
