*"Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved."* -David Foster Wallace

[@calkitt]

One of the most beautiful endings I've seen..

[@juliojuncioni9020]

reconsider yourself and try to watch me earl and the dying girl movie, very emotional movie

[@calkitt]

Actually, these are my two favourite films! Love that they both use the Brian Eno Song.

[@TheLoudseed]

Totally agree.

[@synthmalicious7541]

The shots of David dancing while the Big Ship whirrs on in the background is one of my favorite visual depictions of death. Whenever someone dies it’s hard for me not to think about it.

[@bored7743]

Forever my favorite movie of all time. My senior year of high school was pretty lonely. Ended up getting into DFW that year on a whim, and then this movie gets released just before my graduation. I remember skipping school one day in Spring of that year, and going on a random hour+ drive to deep Massachusetts, and stopping in a random movie theatre parking lot. I see this movie being advertised. I almost walked into the cinemas and bought a ticket. But I didn’t, as I was alone and too self conscious to be an 18 year old kid watching a movie alone on a school day. Ended up watching the movie months later on DVD. My favorite movie of all time.

In life you come across maybe one person that can truly make you feel this way. This can be a man or woman. A lover or simply a platonic friend. They can be your relief from whatever it is that your life has become. The relationship and its interactions are always fleeting. They eventually end and you are left with only the nostalgia of how one single person at one point in your life made you feel truly valid.

[@salmaabdelsalam3744]

"When I think of this trip, I see David and me in the front seat of his car. We are both so young. He wants something better than he has, I want precisely what he has already. Neither of us know where our lives are going to go. It smells like chewing tobacco, soda and smoke. And the conversation is the best one I’ve ever had. David thought books existed to stop you from being lonely. If I could, I would say to David that living those days with him reminded me of what life is like, instead of being a relief from it. And I would tell him that it made me feel much less alone. "

[@juliojuncioni9020]

big ship is the same song played at the end of me earl and dying girl movie. I recommend this movie for you guys, very very cool movie ive watched so far.

[@sarahhannahs3029]

This movie details the feeling of daily depression, in a different aspect from so many others. Makes me ask, if we are all lonely, why are we all alone?

[@adambrunswick5420]

The problem is DRIVING. It creates social distancing and a culture of anonymity. It also disqualifies the body and movement is important for mental health.

[@jacobtrask3179]

best final shot of all time

[@MrDannu112]

It's a shame the movie didn't get any oscar nominations. Jason really deserved a nod from the academy for the perfect incarnation of David Foster Wallace. Not to talk about the beautiful Cinematography and intelligent script of the movie.

[@ralphintheshadowrealm7002]

Daniel.L I agree about Segel and the script but the cinematography field would’ve been a bitch to compete in during 2015. That year had Mad Max Fury Road, Revenant, Sicario and Hateful Eight nominated.

[@CarlosAimeur]

Totally agree. I think it's one of the most undervalued movies of recent years. It's not perfect, ok, but it's very good.

[@mountaindew3201]

I rather it be a hidden gem and an underrated best drama movie ever made.

[@Uiui97t]

The real output of this movies doesnt need to be measured by awards, instead of thinking that way maybe congratulate yourself because youre from that very Little numer of people that can appreciate this things

[@lovetownsend]

"Reminded me of what life is like... instead of being a relief from it." That shit hits fukin deep, jeezes.

[@DP-hn6rl]

I love this movie. Every single time I watch it, I cry at this point and further appreciate the present because this ending is a wake-up call to be present-to be here now because it’s only after the moment is gone that you appreciate it. It’s kind of like that lyric from “Long December” where they say “I can’t remember all the times i tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass”.

[@MyrmidonGaming]

Such a bright little denouement. The film deals with how we present ourselves being in conflict with our 'truest' selves. To have it end on Lipsky's perception of Wallace as a brilliant, sad, unassuming guy in voice over, as we see Wallace in his truest and most unassuming moment. "You dance?" becomes one of the most important questions of the interview. I really dig this movie.

[@sandythemaster6898]

''He wants something better than he has. I want precisely what he has already. Neither of us knows where our lives are going to go.'' This haunts me.

[@joeking6972]

I watched this almost six years ago and still remember this ending. Damn.

[@domocarchina]

Still crying...

[@HowardSterner]

Love this ending 😢

[@franksabados657]

and the conversation is the best one I ve ever had

[@lisabarbosa7813]

INCREDIBLE STORY... I LOVE IT.... This speech gives me chills

[@DocMortsnarg]

This ending makes this movie one of my favorites

[@PJownsyoursoul]

Brings tears to my eyes, every time.

[@ammartarakji8553]

Since I knew DFW two years ago I felt very related to him. This ending scene brings tears to my eyes every time.

[@jimvinespresents...8463]

Beautiful ending...

[@estherwolf4379]

English is my second language. I sometimes understand things not exactly as they are spoken. I always thought the last sentence was « I’d tell him and maybe he’d feel much less alone. »

[@MultiUPANDDOWN]

Beautiful words with a beautiful tune, remember the tune from the lovely bones, also from me earl and the dying girl movie. Read a little about David's life, can relate as I'm struggling from extreme anxiety panic disorder and depression, also Alcoholism. I'm gonna watch this movie.

[@MiyuMirai]

man this ending.. inspirational!

[@highlybaked8417]

Beautiful film

[@sss-jw1yl]

i think the thing that makes me feel the saddest about this scene is how it juxtaposes the context of the speech with happy imagery. it really makes me realize that suicide is never necessary and everyone is capable of feeling real joy

[@abaranihei2608]

Never necessary but sometimes unavoidable and last Resort.

[@brianmeen2158]

There’s a good reason why euthanasia is on the rise. Deleting oneself sometimes is the solution

[@randompersonontheinterweb]

now I wonder how many films this track was used as the end scene

[@aisle_of_view]

I know my Halloween Costume this year...

[@michellebach6277]

Great film. There was love from Lipsky to Foster but Foster spoiled it when he treated Lipsky as a young brother in the girls issue. Foster Wallace seemed very unnice

[@donsalatsoe5886]

the ending reminds me of one other movie but i cant tell

[@SupposedlyFunThing]

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl used the same song.

[@DocMortsnarg]

Not at all a similar setup, but it gives me similar melancholy that Into The Wild gave me, with the slow zoom into the real Chris Mccandless, months before his death. This is more uplifting though. Weird that movies about interesting people living and dying tragically give me that feeling.

[@comosea5950]

Its not the best movie in the world but its a window to see the best man in the world

[@TheGeorge15935]

Won't ever understand why this man committed suicide after reaching such a high status as a writer... Maybe we'll never know.. one year from graduating college who knows where life will take us..

[@alexanderthegreat1270]

From a pure analysis of his life events, David stopped taking the anti depressant Narfin after he reached a comfortable state, went through significant mental repurcussions and hospitalisation, and after discovering Narfin didn’t help him anymore he fell into a deep depression and killed himself. However, David said it best himself when he said “A suicidal person is much like someone trapped in a burning building who has chosen to jump. The horror of what they face is enough to drive them to the end

[@brianmeen2158]

@@alexanderthegreat1270 he took Narfin? It wasn’t Nardil? I’ve never even heard of Narfin .. ultimately it doesn’t matter but it’s tragic that that’s how his life ended

[@NO-yk7vd]

What the track name used in the ending? it's Beautiful
