Name a film scene in cinema better than the swing scene



No spoilers

When Watanabe is swinging in the snow on that swing, that right there is cinema. It's everything movies should strive to be, beautiful, emotional and symbolic. Theres not a scene i've witnessed as emotional and symbolic as that scene. I challenge anyone in a friendly way to name a scene as beautiful as that one in any film, contemporary or from the past. Maybe Raging Bull has some challengers but thats the best seen i've encountered. Definitely the most beautiful scene in cinema.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this already, But how about Blade Runner?

Scene - Tears in Rain. Hauer brings a lot of raw power to this scene in Blade Runner, It's an epic monologue.
