What was the most emotional scene for you? - Lone Survivor (2014) Discussion

Definitely the end credits.

For me, it was the credits. I didn't cry, but that part just got to me.

The Chinook being shot down was a close second.

More emotional than any scene in the film for me, was reading about how after Lutrell's recovery and return home, his guide dog, Daisy was shot and killed by a group of joyriding teenagers in his neighborhood. Maybe it's because I've been a pet owner, and cruelty to animals always enrages me, but this guy went through hell, spent over a year in multiple surgeries for his wounds, gets assigned a wonderful yellow lab to help him through the recovery process, and she's murdered by some teenage punks.

Life sure tends to stick it in and break it off, at times.

Those guys who killed his dog were far more than joyriding teens--by all accounts they went way out of their way to go to Lutrell's ranch (which was HUGE-so to reach his home you really had to go look for it) and shot his dog for kicks. Apparently they were low life wanna be gangstas who were looking for somebody to victimize. When they got caught they even made threats that they would come back & "finish the job" & Lutrell 'didn't know who he was messing with'. By all accounts they had killed several other dogs--I guess they were trying to gin up the courage to graduate to people.

I later heard the 911 call that Luttrell made while chasing after these guys in his truck; telling the 911 operator that he was armed with two 9mm's and driving at speeds of 110 mph to try and catch them.
I'm sure he had revenge on his mind, but he was responsible. Sounded like he coordinated their location with the local police while in pursuit, until they were finally stopped and arrested.

The emotional part for me was when Luttrell was trying to carry Dietz and he drops him just before he jumped down the rocks. They were all banged up, bleeding, and taking fire, but Axelson kept insisting they needed to go back for Dietz. I just found that level of dedication to a comrade admirable. The fact they were in no condition to do it made it heartbreaking.

Probably at the end when he is leaving and hugging the father and son.

It was when Marcus Luttrell made the wrong decision and caused the death of his entire squad..
And don't try to defend his decision, he should've tied the kids to the tree
and stick a knife into the foot of the old man so he couldn't walk correctly
and then sent the old man down the mountain...

Instead he let a boy run down the mountain and got all his friends killed....

Except it wasn't Lutrell's decision, it was a group vote. In reality, Axe wanted to kill them, Danny didn't care either way, Marcus was unsure, but ultimately voted to let them go, and Murphy agreed. He was senior, so he had the final say in the matter. Luttrell didn't cause the death of anyone on the team. All those guys knew where they stood, and they knew the consequences.
This is such a tired debate, too. If people would read the book, they'd know that Lutrell regretted his vote in hindsight, and would do anything to turn back the clock and change his mind.

Except ya'll are all wrong and Lutrell is a liar, his story has never been the same any time he has told it and there never was a vote. Murphy's parents have even called Luttrell out on that as well as other SEALs who have said that a vote would never have happened as it's always the leaders decision. Dude is a glory whore who got lucky that day that some Afghani's showed some compassion towards him. He's actually doing nothing to help the guy who saved his life who is danger at the moment because he's "been too busy".

This film made him out to be the one that everyone relied on the whole time for guidance and the moral compass. Hell even Murphy asks him for advice. In reality I think this do is projecting a lot of his traits onto the other guys in this film and in the book. Hell he claimed Saddam had WMD's, that Al Qaeda was in in Iraq, and many other things after all these things had been proven false and someone with as much experience as him should know the difference.

The chinook scene

Also it's a quick scene, but it has to do with the politeness Murph showed on the sat phone before he died. Something about him remaining who he was in the midst of dying gets to me. I think this did actually happen, it was mentioned in the Murph documentary.

The Most emotional scene for me is when Axe runs to the tree, kills those guys with the pistol then when he runs out of ammo he just sits here and waits for death.
