who cried at the end?
Who here has cried at the end of this movie? I know I have.
shareI thought it was sad but didn't cry. The way little wing had stopped caring for his friends was haunting.

It was tragic. I didn't cry even though I thought it was sorrowful. Nothing worse than betrayal by a best friend closer than a brother.
shareI cried also at the end of the movie. Very good movie and a very moving story.
Maybe John Woo´s best work he had done.
...THE WORLD CHICO AND EVERYTHING IN IT...
this is one of only two movies that has really made me cry- not just teary-eyed, but actually sobbing. and I have seen a LOT of depressing movies.
"Beautiful evening. you can almost see the stars..."
I felt a little trembling in my upper lip. Only two other movies have got me like that, T2 (c'mon!!...The Thumb!!!) and The Green Mile. "Don't put the hood on me boss, I'm affraid of the dark". Gets me every time.
"Since when did you start wearing underwear?!"

I cried, not at the end but during the scenes where the 3 were in the Vietcong camp and where Fai and Ah Bee were made to shoot thos people- found that extremely hard to watch and terrifying, and it once again reminded me why I generally stay away from Vietnam films.
What a great film though, very glad I finally saw it! Tony Leung and Jackie Cheung in particular I thought were great.
Nadine :)
Want terrifying? See the prolonged REALISTIC stabbing in "Lust, Caution".
i cried when they showed the past when they were riding bikes =( cause it was sad to see them change so much
shareI cried at two parts mentioned on here. One, when Ben (Leung) had to put Frank (Cheung) out of his misery, and two, the flashback to the three of them on bikes paralleling to the cars riding alongside one another, which showed that before any of them died or were about to die, it was their friendship that fell victim to everything first. It's weird, I never used to get "choked up" over movies, but if there's an action movie with a great story, it makes the action more intense and VERY emotional, and I fall apart... the signs of a great movie!
shareWell,both endings are very sad and moving...But,for me,the "car chase" version is the most emotional ;_;
Come on,as ZOMBIE-8 said,you see Ben and Paul in their cars,shooting each others with expressions of PURE HATRED on their faces,and then,all of a sudden,you see the flashback when they were on bikes,laughing...When they were friends T_T
I cried when Jacky was suffered from the bullet in his head, and Tony had to shoot him. The scene where Tony told Jacky about their past and how Jacky helped Tony in his wedding day, then Jacky take the gun that Tony was holding, pointing it to his heart made my eyes really teary

I found the movie too over the top to even feel sorry with the characters..
shareI confess I did ( and it REALLY does not happen to me often)
When he comes back and sees his wife again.
Exactly. It wasn't at all realistic.
And I suspect that those who would cry at such an over-the-top pile of lunacy would not cry if the film were actually realistic.
Wow, old thread. Only just came into the world of John Woo officially (saw a few of his films indirectly, i.e. not knowing he directed them) and Bullet in the Head was the last film I saw of his.
I have to say the scene where Ah Bee met Ah Fai after the ordeal in Vietnam, seeing his old friend having fallen to drugs really broke me up. It was just heartbreaking seeing these two friends, who were so full of life and laughter, meeting each other and one of them being in such a bad state. When Ah Bee pulled the trigger, then Ah Fai said, "Big Brother..." it just made me well up. It makes me sad just typing this!
Also, the final scene where Ah Bee and Little Wing are in the cars at the end made me sad as well when you see the flashbacks to them when they were younger and laughing with abandon on their bikes.
I really wasn't expecting this kind of emotional response with an action film. It caught me offguard, but since I personally value friendship highly, seeing a friendship torn about in these ways was really touching. Great film!
Forget about the ridiculous car chase ending that was added to please the action-oriented audience. The director's ending is MUCH more powerful.
shareThe whole film is "powerful". But so over-the-top and impossible that it's hilarious.
One must be a teenager, or so emotionally self-indulgent, for such absurd fantasy to cause one to cry. What does one do when REALITY is tragic? Is reality not enough to reach one?
