If you’ve read the books, you know how important this scene is on many levels. The music, the location & cinematography, and acting are so perfect & had me in tears. BEST way to spend 16 million dollars.

[@litbace7205]

pounds, to be precise 😊

[@Dk-kx3xx]

Felt the exact same way! Feel like the creators really crafted this scene for the readers of the book. It just hits so much harder knowing what will happen 😢

[@FigmentForever]

@@Dk-kx3xx It was so beautifully done. I’ve watched this clip 5-10 times & can’t picture a better shot for shot.

[@FigmentForever]

@@litbace7205 Indeed! So >$16million USD afaik

[@markmywords3817]

I'm not a book reader, so this scene is the only scene so far that hasn't paid off for me. Will says in the hospital that he isn't on the side of humanity, but only on Jin's side. So it doesn't make sense to me that he's gonna buy a fictitious star for Jin to help the war efforts. So I don't want to be spoiled with details, but can anyone answer if this is scene gonna pay off (or at least be relevant) later in the series?

[@cupcake2298]

One of my favorite scenes from this series, brings so much tears. The videos playing in the background gives such a powerful message that "This is humanity" and they're about to fight an alien race.

[@FigmentForever]

Just wait til you find out how important the star is on many levels.

[@johnnyappleseed6887]

It sends a medsage that this idiot should have never been given 17 million to piss away like a child. He could have named a star himself. But he paid some random con artist who said he owned all the stars to sell. How stupid can you be? There were millions of other ways he could have actually done some good. Helped starving children, saved thousands of lives with medical care. Oh no, but he needed an organization to tell him he owned a star and he showed his last act on earth was as useless and pathetic as his whole life. I liked will and i lost all respect for him. There is nothing romantic or dymbolic about beimg scammed and everyone who thinks it is great is just a big of a tool. He could have started a foundation where they name stars and take the money to heal sick kids. He could have done it for free or made a pretty plaque for nothing and helped in ways that actually made a difference. This is an act of a selfish child.

This scene is beautiful, peaceful yet powerful. It feels that Will has seen life in every form as he walks along the big screen, and at the end of the road, he makes the decision with a heart full of love. Not only for Jin, for life as well.

[@adrienne2147]

Will Downing is my favorite plot line. Alex Sharp is such a great actor.

[@seraphik]

Will Downing is the definition of a beautiful soul. he didn't make too much of an impression on me at first, but as the season unfolded he became the heart and soul of the Oxford Five. he wasn't the smartest or bravest or most driven, but he was so unmitigatedly GOOD that in a way he represented why humanity was worthy of saving. i love that there were so many opportunities for his love subplot with Jin to descend into sappy or cringe, but it NEVER did. it was just perfect. as i understand he's not really dead and will come to play a huge role with Jin at the end - but even so, god, you could feel the devastation when Jin wasn't there in time to say goodbye to him, and again when the staircase project failed in a way that sent him careening off course. ooooof.

It was actually selfish, and he was dying anyway.

[@SlammedDownBigStyle3265]

​@@B0bbyLawton But how? He was selfish when he tried to confess to Jin, but how is this selfish. He's donating money for a cause for the humanity(the organisation is raising funds for a global defence).

[@ngkvideo7297]

@@SlammedDownBigStyle3265 I think it’s less about selfish or selfless and more about just having a lot of love left over for Jin with no way to express it. Been there.

[@danieljabonski4705]

Not ideal series but this last scene and Will's words before ending are catching something very human from Liu's books, give hope and something more I can't describe.

[@ngkvideo7297]

Agreed. Surprisingly, unlike the books, the highlight of the show has been the human connections rather than the science fiction.

[@eden20111]

I love how Ramin Djawadi, the musical composer of this series, also used this song Video Games in Westworld which is another series he composed for.

[@Hillchaser]

A very moving scene, made me cry even while rewatching it, that's how powerful it is. But this clip doesn't do it full justice, as the instrumental intro starts as the scene sets off at around 41:59 (episode 6). To me, it is precisely this lyrical detour, creating space for the scene to pan out adagio, while the (soon) well known song is creeping up on you, that is the magic of this segment.

[@KarmeshMadhavi]

Perfect Ending of episode.

[@ReggyCupcake]

My boyfriend and I have been through a lot over the past 5.5 years. It took us many years to finally end up together, and I’ve never loved nor have I ever been loved this way. Video Games was one of the songs I sent to him a long time ago as a reminder that whatever hard times we were going through, I’d do anything for him. Even if we weren’t together, whatever the circumstance, I still loved him. He was worth something to me. Seeing Will in this scene, not wanting anything, just purely enjoying what little time he has left, getting a star for the girl he loves while this song is playing made me completely fall apart. Humanity can be fucking rough. People can be evil. Its hard to trust anyone. And no one cares about each other. But this. Seeing this. With the song I sent to the person I would transcend space and time for, that makes it all worth it

[@prachisharma444]

@@alvinnnliu Oh, I totally understand your point dude, but imo without love or anyone to share it with, life has no real meaning.
