I know everyone has their own pick, but I think The Boy in the Striped Pajama's ending is the definition of devastating.

I definitely remember watching that multiple times when I was younger. I even remember crying like a lil bytch each and every time. But I honestly can't remember how it ends now. But, judging by the ache I felt in my chest when I read ur comment, I'll have to assume it was traumatic... At least until I watch it again as an adult.

Oompf. This. We watched this in class for a film study and everyone was either speechless or sobbing in the end. I'm still haunted by this film to this day.

The end of “The Imitation of Life” always makes me cry. It’s so damn sad that she spends her life resenting her mother for the color of her skin and doesn’t realize how much she loves her until her mom dies.

[@LuisMoranSV]

Dude, what about The Mist or The Green Mile??? This list is lazy :/

[@therocklau]

Dude, the Green mile is a good ending story, I think you understand that story very wrong, good people got what they wanted, and bad people got what they deserved, Coffey never forgets about twins' death, he wanted to die and get away from this brutal world, the real killer of the twins Wild Bill in the end shot dead, the sadist Percy took warden wife's disease lost his mind and sent to a mental ward. That book is a odd one for Stephen King, he didn't use his usuall morally ambiguous lead method, but rather split good and evil right in half, Coffey is pure good, warden is somewhat that, Wild Bill and Percy are pure evil, the movie didn't tell all the book but didn't change much either, you should rewatch it.

[@jessedee1633]

Luis Moran That is correct sir.

[@georgewodicka4839]

The thing unique thing about "The Mist" is that the final scene, in the car, leaves you gasping, crying, and in my case also physically shaking. THEN, about a minute later, the very-end scene delivers ANOTHER punch to the gut in some ways almost more devastating. I have never left a quieter, more shaken theater in my life. Not a great movie, but a good one, with an ending you will NEVER forget.

[@RandMiller325]

@@therocklau liu travis I completely agree with this. Though I have to say -- when it comes to generally saying "devastating endings" it does deserve a place on this list on the fact that Clarke Duncan and Hanks (and everyone actually) in their amazing acting, mixed with the excellent wring shows us how ugly the majority of humans are and how the truly good ultimately will usually fail.... to even the point of welcoming death to get away from it. That alone, I think makes it's suitable for the most. Imo this list is kinda BS.

[@jester5311]

@Luis Moran I think adding the mist to this list would be more lazy, although everyone agrees it should be here the reason could be that EVERYONE agrees it should be on here lol, that film is on everybodies list for sad endings already, to find 5 more besides that one takes a little bit more research. Just a thought though

[@lunakei404]

We don't speak of that movie. I cried at the scene where Setsuko dies, and it was very heartbreaking for me. One thing that's especially devastating for me is the fact that if you try and watch to the end, you just can't do it. And this is why I think animals are better than humans.

The ending for Interstellar was more... Poignant. He survives somehow and is reunited with his daughter. He promised her he would come back. She then sends him off to find Anne Hathaway's character before living out the rest of her time surrounded by her family. The film ends on a somewhat sad but hopeful note.

For devastating endings, documentaries or biopics should not be on the same list as works of fiction. A devastating ending that actually happened in real life to real people is completely different from a devastating ending made up by writers that happens in a fictional world to fictional characters. Both can be devastating, but they're not in the same category at all.

[@acurseofconstantobstacle5603]

If documentaries counted then none would top Dear Zachary

[@nessyness5447]

i mean, sure it's more terrible that something happened for real. but unless you knew the people who lived that real story your emotional reaction to it will be very similar to your reaction to fictional characters because you will bond with the characters only through what you see of them in the movie/documentary. in fact while watching a documentary you will think ' oh how terrible, this story is so sad, can't believe is real how awful' . your favorite character from your favorite tv show that you've been watching for years dying or suffering will normally affect you more just because you had more time to actually bond with the character since everything about them was laid out for you in the show to make watchers feel like they know the character personally.

Why not? If you don't know the true story the doc is following you have no idea how it will end. It will therefore hit just as hard if not harder because it actually happened.

What they did with Logan is nothing short of spectacular and something rarely Hollywood does: they went with a completely different direction with a sequel and embraced a character's tragic arc. Logan was an emotional roller-coaster. Yes, Wolverine is my favorite X-Men. At times, his stoicism is saturated in his personality. However, deep down he has a large heart. The way he takes care of Dr. Xavier is beyond admirable. The Avenger films, along with Galaxy of the Gaurdians, and Spiderman, for the most part have been fun. Nothing too emotional. Even when everyone was fading away, I didn't feel a tug of emotion. But yes, when they showed Peter Parker, the way Iron Man was embracing me. All of sudden, I had to hold back tears. I understood both characters in the back of mind superficially but that scene was so raw.

[@vegangurly]

Kale Chip Krunch she is going to come back. I’m rolling my eyes that anyone thinks otherwise

[@AnastasiaIoppolo]

TheSphinx I think she might, though I’m not sure of anything at this point. Think about it. The Russo Brothers are gonna do the thing we least expect, right? Well what if, and I know this won’t happen, but it seems like something they’d do, they’re all dead. I know I know, they wouldn’t kill off their money makers, but some part of me just thinks this all seems off. When they say, “they’re not coming back,” we all know they are. But what if they don’t. What if that’s what they want us to think? Idk just a theory (and yes I know they’re coming back)

[@gabrielas3793]

La La Land’s ending seriously had me heartbroken. I’ve never been so emotionally invested into a movie lol I was legitimately heartbroken for a week. That night, I cried in my sleep. Hahaha

[@denise9796]

Lovely bones had a devistating ending. They bever find the child's body. Throughout the entire movie you are hoping it will end wel but it bever really does

[@maeonflux]

These endings are definitely not that devastating. You're missing "The Mist", and most importantly "Dancer In The Dark" that movie got me crying for HOURS. It's entirely depressing but the ending just wreck me.

[@harryhain1883]

Requiem for a dream?

[@_anikareyes]

Harry Hain COULDN'T AGREE MORE, BROTHER. That movie got a solid 10/10 from me. 💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 truly a masterpiece.

[@JusticeforLiberty]

Is that the movie about all them degenerate drug addict perverts??

[@shadowmatrix0101]

@@JusticeforLiberty Erm....they turned into drug addicts, but nothing about being perverts or degenerates. The other half of the movie was a bout the mom and how the doctor ended up basically giving her speed in a pill toted as a way to lose weight and she ended up getting addicted to it. She ended up slowly going insane and ended up in a mental institution. Was very very sad.

[@kelly4250]

Totally agree! I saw this in the theaters twice. The friend I was with the second time left the theater at the end and went and promptly puked her guts out. That last scene with the music is savage AF!

[@oakraidergrl4lif]

You forgot the ending of Arlington Road. Talk about a gut punch.

[@happybrat8457]

Everyones talking about movies that are pretty good, but the saddest one for me is Life Is Beautiful. It's a Italian Comedy-Drama that takes place in WW2. The main characters family is Jewish, snd they get taken away to a concentration camp. The main guy, Guido, pretends it's a game for his son Giosue. Anyways, Giosue nearly dies in the gas chambers but survives because he hid away, thinking it was a bath and he hated baths. At the end of the movie, the people try to run away. Guido says that it's the last part of the game, and the winner gets a tank. He hides his son and dresses uo as a woman to find his wife and daughter, when he gets cornered. The shoulders take him to a alley, where they pass his son who's hiding. He tells his son to stay there and come out when it's the morning. Then the scene cuts to seeing flashes and hearing bullets. The next day the boy comes out to see the camp in ruins, and American soldier's ride in on tank's. I swear my writing doesn't even come close to the movie the ending made me *CRY* and I didn't even cry during Boy in The Striped Pajamas.

[@blujai8607]

You're a gem for this. This movie explores so many emotions and themes. The love the father had for his son is so unparalleled. You just wanted them to escape the inevitable. It was breathtaking hearing those gunshots although you knew they were coming. This is a cinematic masterpiece in my opinion. Thanks for the reminder.

[@DeziMunchkinz]

Kittykat Black I love that movie! My class watched it in 8th grade and it always stayed in my heart. I watch it about every three years. Their romance was so amazing to me and the movie is so tragic

[@andywalker7657]

The movie ending that makes me cry every time is "'night, Mother." A woman spends an entire evening with her mother doing mundane things but all the while she is explaining to her mother that she has no reason to live and is going to kill herself that night. Anne Bancroft is fantastic as the mother pleading with her daughter (Sissy Spacek) to see the happiness in life.

[@laustcawz2089]

Based on a Pulitzer prize-winning play.

[@GugliLucchesi]

How about the korean movie Old Boy, I think nothing was as emotionally devastating as that ending

[@aaronbethel03]

What about the Green Mile and The Mist, my man like where were they and besides the avengers infinity War really wasn't that sad it was funny

[@angie2989]

Ice_ Wallow how could you say infinity war was funny??

[@thedorkknight9684]

if you didnt cry during infinity war you have no soul. SCREW IT I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT

Funny you say! Well you wouldn't be laughing if that was happening in real life and you could get disintegrated into dust.

[@gab3963]

Ice_ Wallow The Green Mile book AND movie had me in tears.

[@jakerocinante1133]

The green mile was sad and depressingly stirring, as the Tom Hanks character is cursed to live on and know when people are going to die for how long?

*Selena.. still have PTSD from that.*

[@frauleinmona]

You're not serious. Are you? You have PTSD from the *movie* ?

[@Jedi_Knigga]

frauleinmona Nah lol, that movie just the only movie to make me cry like a baby to this day.

[@frauleinmona]

@Deandre LOL HA! You had me going there for awhile! Sometimes it's hard to tell on the internet when somebody is being facetious and when they're being sincere. But, yeah. That movie was very sad. So beautiful and talented Selena was. And too young to die. There are a couple of her songs that I really, really like.

[@theescapeartist23]

[@kimberlyv1205]

The end of Dr. Zhivago always gets me. He was so close and she never even knew he was there.

[@Crowned_Hearts]

aniara has a really depressing ending as well. The film only gets darker and darker with each second. The last scene showing the empty ship and everyone has turned to dust really haunts me

[@H.O.34Dr3am]

Personally, the logan ending is probably the most resonant and stoic movie endings in the last few years. It's very poetic, and very tear jerking, but beautiful nonetheless. Logan has always been in pain, with his life, his actions, the people in his life, and around him. He seems to always have hurt people who tried to help him, but he finally gets to meet the only end that he deserves, killing people trying to hurt the things he loves. He dies in the process of doing this, but that is always his only escape. Something that most men who have the ability to change situations feel, that death is their only escape for those things, as impending situations that need a catalyst will always find them. That's why Logan and it's ending, may be sad because we don't get anymore wolverine, but it's beautiful because Logan is put to rest/peace while also allowing for a bright future to grow because of his actions.

[@markyokum1873]

Regarding not adding The Mist: The ending of The Mist has been covered so thoroughly in other Looper and What Culture videos -- I think the creators thought that giving it a run once again would generate a few snickers. That said, it's probably the most unexpected/devastating/WTF/heartwrenching ending of any modern movie.

[@cesarjoughin]

Come on no Green Mile, No Marley and Me, No The Mist 🤔🤔

[@Lehmann108]

"Man on Fire" is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. The ending is not devastating, it is utterly redemptive in that Greasy willingly gives his life to save the little girl that he loves with all his heart. There could be no other ending to this movie. For all the undercover death, pain and suffering Greasy has created in his career, this is the only way he can save himself. And save himself he does with the highest sacrifice possible, his life.

[@edp6619]

Nice list and this is just my opinion but Atonement is a definite stand out.

[@kareneastman9695]

I think Jack Mercer's death scene in 4Brothers is one of the most devastating.

[@indridcold8433]

I am surprised the motion picture, "Seven," was not on the list? What's in the box?

[@spideydew20]

Not having The Mist, which should have been #1, makes this entire list completely irrelevant.

[@barbaro267]

The Mist? You mean the movie with the really predictable end? Oh please. At least the movie Radius, which I knew at the start would require death in order to solve the issue at hand, did it better because it distracted you and then suddenly...BANG. I may be a minority here, but I hated The Mist for several reasons. I don't hate it for the predictable ending, because the end is still somewhat sad, but the movie made it more of a "waa waa waa" trumpet ending because of the timing with the tank and the fog rolling away. But for other reasons I found the film a waste of my time. So, no, it does not deserve a top spot on this list :P

[@Ashley-jv8vj]

_TWOK_ is pretty hard-hitting, but the punch is pulled by the time the credits roll, because it's immediately apparent that Spock is coming back.

[@fredocarroll]

@@lookingforwookiecopilot Did the theatrical release not have the scene with Spock's torpedo, intact, on the Genesis Planet, and Spock's voiceover recitation of the "Space, the final frontier" spiel?

[@lookingforwookiecopilot]

@@fredocarroll Honestly don't remeber if it showed his tube on the planet in the end,...but that's not exactly an "I'll be back" moment. Its just a "here lies Spock" moment. Star Trek isn't Star Wars where the movies come in three's,...and I don't recall a ",...will return in Search for Spock" like at the end of James Bond movies either.
