Sleepers - Ending scene, Minetta Room | Legendary Clips

[@doradorarock8310]

I can't stop crying when I watch this scene. An "eternal night" that people experience several times in their lives.

[@DashCamExtrodinaire]

AGREED!

Legendary comment my friend

[@michaelc.6532]

Yes, mine was the 7 of us on the back deck of my friends bar in the summer of 2013. Brett ended his life St. Patrick’s Day of ‘14, Brad married and basically disappeared. Lincoln overdosed two years ago. That night though we drank and smoked and joked till 4 AM. That was my “eternal night!”

[@peterversionone]

Eternal? Several times in their lives? I am disagreeing for a different reason

[@federicorodriguez8687]

Me too, that scene remind me my childhood, my friends of the neighborhood, little by lilltle we moved and lost contact, one of them died of a heart attack, his brother and uncle told me

[@jayzstreamv6678]

For me, the ending where they're all dancing brings a tear to my eye. They were innocent boys who were having fun while dancing!!! The fact that those innocent moments were taken away from them so quickly, by men who felt it was their right to rape them. It makes me so angry that people like that exist in the world!

[@Ironheart73]

This is a very sweet but bitter ending. What I particularly loved was that although Tommy and John did become hardened career-criminals and stone-cold murderers, here we see them become kids again enjoying a good time with their childhood friends. For a moment we look at their genuine happiness, and see that they are not inherently bad people. Had their innocence not taken from them the way it did, they would still be doing better in life now. But thats not how their epilouges would end. They would die gruesome deaths eventually, still we cant help but be happy that they at least got to celebrate this moment with the only family they really have

[@sigmarecovery699]

I remember this movie. I enjoyed it. I don’t think the meaning of the movie is about the importance of friendship but more about the cost of revenge. I’m a man and was raped by a man at 16. I am in therapy right now trying to resolve the pain of a lot of things. I would be lying if I said hate and rage aren’t things that I talk about with my therapist. Hate was starting to twist and distort me. You start to become disgusted by the smiles of others as you want to feel happiness again. I just think it’s best to leave judgment and revenge up to someone or something else. It is true that violence just tends to beget more violence. It was hatred that distorted the man who raped me.

I Was born in the late 80s, I saw this movie when I was teenager, I thought it was a great movie but felt sad afterwards. I watch it again many years later and still… a great emotional movie.

[@Comictalent]

Sleepers is terrific and very underrated. I think the controversy about the truth of the story sunk it with some critics. But there were not 5 better films in 1996. It's among the most compelling crime dramas of the last 30 years.

[@flygkapten]

Agreed. Amazing movie and specially one that carries itself still!

[@el34glo59]

The controversy because some news outlets couldn't confirm something that would never be admitted anyway? What record are they going to find? A piece of paper that says we molested boys? Lol. Especially back then when everything was destroyed and forgotten?

[@Robkinggozer]

And let's not forget Fat Mancho.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

The fact that we know have uncovered massive molestation and rape accounts from the Catholic church in nearly ever city in the country, the boy scouts have been found to have helped protect molesters and fro such has helped in the molestation of millions of children and all the schools like pen state, athletic teams and etc were we keep finding abuse and rape scandals to me is proof that this shit is rampant in all institutions because of the nature of authority over others and that of course there would be no records, there would be no evidence and of course the people in these organizations would say “it never happened and doesn’t happen” while we have found them to have covered up and protected molesters and events like this.

Allegedly this was based on a true story. The character John Reilly was based on Richie Ryan and Tommy "Butter" Marcano was based on Tommy "Butter" Moresco, both were real life members of the Westies in New York's Hell's Kitchen. Their deaths in the film is exactly how the real life characters died.

Though it's a good ending, this scene tears me up as it's the last time they were ever together again. 😢 Worst irony is I learned that we lost Brad Rrenfro or young Michael few years after this & rips me inside to watch this scene as this turns out to be a real goodbye. 😭 He was so handsome & talented.

Fighting something much worse than a clown

[@billj4525]

@@tedbailey3673 Totally different movie. It was some ridiculous horror move. This movie tugs on your emotions big time, it's very very deep and sad story. I would never even think to mention them together. These boys couldn't really fight their trauma successfully, and it ultimately killed John and Tommy in very horrible ways after leading very horrible lives. Michael wasn't able to be with a women, as he was so guarded, despite loving Carol and Carol loving him, and it sounds like he lived like that the rest of his life. So sad the kind of trauma these boys dealt with. The happiest part of the move was them killing Sean at the bar, and seeing them together at the end was happy as well..

[@tedbailey3673]

Idk, IT was allegorical about fragile adult defense mechanisms around childhood trauma such as loss of a sibling and also the important unofficial, informal, and often overlooked and undervalued ways that kids help each other come to grips with the traumas they experience. Really well decloped characters and relationships (whereas Sleepers has the characters largely pretending they don't know each other so their relationships are left offscreen and unexplored) leading to fairly weak use (and nonexploration) of trauma, baked in just to kickstart a poor man's Count of Monte Christo revenge pic.

What a truly great movie I’d never heard of, an early try at the taboo topic of male/male sexual abuse. Billy Crudup, Jason Patric and Brad Pitt were peaking, Kevin Bacon was already the actor who does EVERYthing well (but never gets an Oscar). Glad I found it.
