Miles Tuck Speech from "Tuck Everlasting"

Intense Performance from Scott Bairstow.

[@connersyrek6945]

This is honestly one of the best moments in storytelling from a movie. Miles goes from being a dark, overly serious and somewhat douchey character, to a full tragic character that everyone understands. The way the scene was delivered was on point too. It starts innocent, then really creepy, then just sad. All in a very short time span.

[@ashleyunderwood4855]

Exactly.

[@Nina_Alba]

"I went looking for wars to fight. I saw brave men die. Thousands, in a blink of an eyed, but not me, I couldn't die. I'm still here." ..... It gets to me all the time.

[@dinaf.k5372]

How? I can't relate

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

@@dinaf.k5372 Just think about it. You're life has been ruined because you can't age, people think that you sold your soul to the devil, you have nothing left. No friends. You have a deep depression. You have nothing to live for and nothing to lose.. You try to join the army and try to get killed in battle, as he mentioned, he fought at Gettysburg. The bloodiest of the American Civil War, he saw men die by the thousands, all that endless slaughter for nothing. You just give up. You don't have to experience that to relate. It's scary man.

[@dinaf.k5372]

@@AbrahamLincoln4 true, that is scary. I feel bad for those soldiers though. But everything is temporary in this world at the end of the day

5:16 " I *couldn't* die! 🥺 ...Like little Anna! The influenza took her before she was fifteen! And Beau... 😔He'd be almost eighty by now if he were still alive... 😢And my sweet... My sweet young bride..... She died in an insane asylum! 😭Old and alone... But *I'm* still here! ... 😭I'm still here....."

Scott deserve an Oscar for his role as miles

[@mandiflanary8675]

I gotta agree.

[@moosiesoundsp6416]

I really wanna hug miles💔

[@mandiflanary8675]

I do too...

[@ZombieSoldier224]

Touching, I think the actor that played Miles would be a good bad guy in another movie.

[@tierefuerimmer9635]

Theoretically he could be somewhat of a bad guy here as he did technically kidnap Winnie. Not out of evil but because he wanted to protect his family but she was at first brought against her will which technically makes it kidnapping

[@hennessygarciahg]

Aww he needs a hug.

[@johnpaczkowski989]

I’m a aspiring film critic and I gotta say, while this was no academy award performance, Scott Bairstow’s speech here is absolutely soul crushing. You can really hear the pain in his acting especially towards the end of it. It’s heartbreaking.

[@lilbeedoggy5438]

Miles rlly needs a hug.. And more hugs, and more.

[@mandiflanary8675]

Yes he does, if he'd only let us...I always thought he was handsome too...yes Jesse is cute, but Miles is more my type in looks, lol.

[@mella8296]

Such a heartbreaking scene. 💔 I cried the first time I saw it, crying now. 😭

[@kendramalotka9850]

My favorite scene Always cry when Miles talks about his family and you can see Winnie trying to comprehend First time in the movie Miles acts like a “human" I think it’s also the first time Winnie was no longer scared of Miles

[@fd3]

This is such a good scene from this film. I saw the movie when I was in fourth grade. It’s been over twenty years since. I need to watch it again to look at it and appreciate it in another light, now that I’m older

[@Clevelandbred92]

Same

[@TheTributer42409]

My favorite quote from the movie: "But I'm still here!"

[@Scottwilkie18]

This hits deep 20 years later

[@aaronherdt5129]

Time didn't grow on Miles body but it did on his soul. This is one of the few parts of this film I favor over the original 1981 version of this movie. For this scene the acting is great and the bigger budget with the cut in remembrance scenes all have great effect. It's like a movie in a movie. I also like the remake parts where Tuck takes Winnie out in the boat and when the man in the yellow suit stares at tombstones in the night.

[@DopeAsThePope1]

Agree.......this is a terrific movie that's underrated!!! It really teaches living forever would be a curse & not a blessing.

[@DopeAsThePope1]

I'm 46 and love this movie!!! It really teaches the lesson of life is to live it to the fullest and respect it's only temporary.

[@professional.commentator]

This scene was so good!! I loved every second of it. So heartwarming and depressing at the same time.

[@hi7715]

This is probably why she didn’t drink the water from the spring at the end

[@think_ill_miss_you_forever]

Yeah, and also when Angus was talking to Winnie in the boat. I think that’s why she chose to stay a mortal.

[@alexisfarganis9701]

So sad. I cry every time I hear that part! Great movie though!

[@GamerGirl760]

no wonder in class the teacher didn't show us this part its sad

[@pip5224]

DuhGamingHamster my teacher showed my class this part i cried

[@Coridimus]

DuhGamingHamster then I dare say your teacher failed at their duty. This scene is central to the message of Tuck Everlasting

[@ashleyunderwood4855]

This is superb acting. Especially by miles and Jesse.

[@KaylaChaotic325]

Idk why it makes me so sad when he says "Miles got married..."

[@abc.animal5143]

I liked this moment from the movie. It gave some good character depth for Miles.

[@Scottwilkie18]

I nearly was in tears when he kept saying I’m still here

[@TheUltimateOverlord101]

Poor Miles T_T

[@AshlynMercedez]

I came here just to hear the way he described the water. Nope. Watched the whole video and now I'm crying.

[@lavendertheflower4352]

bottom swallow water and die? Winnie: Thank you for putting it so vividly, and yes it's none of your concern.

[@think_ill_miss_you_forever]

This is the most terrifying yet heartbreaking scene in the whole movie lol

[@Felix-yt2xs]

I am watching this video in social and it's a really good movie so far and I like the jail scean

[@lavendertheflower4352]

My fave part of this movie: Jesse: you afraid you'll sink to the

[@bluerazzberry99]
