"I've stayed alive for you... but now you have to let me go" My heart cries every time I watch this scene :(

I love how a line like, "Yes," can be repeated over and over and Meryl Streep can make it different and mean something different every time she says it.

Her scream "Oh God no" combined with that peak moment in the music, it gives me chills every single time. Stunning, a master class in acting. They should have given Oscars to the entire cast of this movie. I wish this clip was just a few seconds longer to hold the impact of this moment.

That scene... breath taking... heart breaking... unforgettable..."Like the morning in the beach..."

"I love you... I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been"

A child who lost his absolute defender mother, has absolute emptiness that cannot be supplemented by other things. I was also one of such children.

His robe is made of the same material as his bed sheet when he was a child. It's like he held onto that memory of the past, before his mother left him, his only comfort?

He’s talking to her as he was talking to his mom when they were baking the cake ‘kid like’ and all. I seen this movie at in my teens and it really moved me. Here I am in my thirties still loving it.

Richard was tired of living, he wanted peace just as simple as that, Clarrisa was an angel to him.

Perfect. The scene is perfect in every single way...

I went to see Ed Harris play Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway last night and his performance in that was just as brilliant as his performance in The Hours. This last "goodbye scene" and his performance in the scene before this one in The Hours are incredible. The acting and the dialog are brilliant.

Knowing this is the little boy breaks your heart. Oscar winning performances all around !

"The most ordinary morning in anybody's life"

That emotion came out of nowhere! Meryl Streep is just a brilliant actress in everything!

this scene is a metaphor for everything we ever love we lose as we grow older...the finality of life...death comes for us all in good times or in bad.

the tension, the melancoly and that subtle execution of self-inflicted demise. I remember being so shocked at 16 when I watched this movie at home. "I stayed alive for you." It was crazy and heartbreaking.

Poor Richie. He was damaged by the lack of his mother's love and prescence and AIDS. It all just ruined his life. 💔

This scene feels like a punch in the stomach everytime I watch it

Ed Harris is an under estimated talent

The train station scene with Nicole Kidman is the best of this movie

That "Oh God no" just broke me

Life in general is a risk. It is not a plan. Those who unable to adapt and be resilient suffer the most.

Philip Glass’ music is always… always, beautiful

Oh my God this scene. It must be very scary to witness someone kill themselves in front of them

I cry every time

Brilliant use of "Metamorphosis 2" by Philip Glass

Ed Harris deserves to win an Oscar one day

C’est incroyablement beau et violent à la fois. Profond, intense. Je me sens, à chaque fois que je regarde cette scène sans même avoir vu le film, comme dans une bulle de pression, où la mort est un envol profond vers une liberté tant désirée. Cela sonne en moi comme une violence et une douce libération à la fois. Et sa voix, qui s’adoucit, et son élan, et la musique qui l’accompagne dans son geste courbé et lourd. Je suis touché en pleine âme.

We exist but to exist is not enough. And as long as this 'not enough' remains and we continue living, we are sick.

I know about this song from almost 20 years ago when the movie The Hours came out. Although so much time has passed, I have not come across another song that resonates and provokes the moods that this song causes me. Personally, I imagine in the beginning the appearance of a person's life, calm, melodious, calm. Next comes the hectic part that everyone is experiencing with a lot of action, struggle, performance on all levels. Then, suddenly, calm reappears, similar to the beginning but different in its own way. The end part of life is naturally represented by the fact that the song ends

great scene but you didn't show the best part: when Ed Harris explains "but I still have to face the hours"

It is really the best scene!oh gosh I love this movie!the best ever made.so meaningful,so deep!!!

The audio/visual melancholic aspects of this scene take the oxygen from my lungs. That dam song...yeeesh.

Cette scène ne cessera jamais de me bouleverser

great but it skips the most powerful moment in the scene, when he says, "Not really! It's kind of you to say so, but . . . "

heartbreaking...

WHAT WASN'T SHE NOMINATED FOR THIS FILM !! I LOVE MERYL BUT THIS IS MASTER CLASS !! 🙌👏😍❤

I watched this movie 3 times in the past year and it's scary how his life ends is so tempting.

I love this scene a lot, it's so relatable... I'm gonna end up like this

Huh... I just noticed that he quotes Woolf. :v After having watched the film like 10 times...

Me encanta Ed Harris

My god. I want to go. I want to go so much. Its so painful.

Las voces siempre están ahí

My failures trying to not live anymore... Who matters? My parents, my sister, my best friend Raquel Soler. My failures trying not to live anymore before knowing you, my love, i love all you

he was dyin and he was suffferin

Why is it that basicall every character dying of AIDS in a movie wears a hat like that?

General Hummel, is that you?

what a great movie that deals with depression and co-dependency so well

Wisdom begins with the fear of the LORD. Seek God. Fear God. Repent. Put your faith and trust in Jesus the Christ

So Richard kills himself. WHY? His mother was the monster and she drove him to it. She wanted to die and she left him when he was small. Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Claire Danes, great cast sad depressing movie! Meryl Streep has 3 Oscars no other actress could top her! Nicole Kidman & Julianne Moore have 1 Oscar.

Bye

¿Existe la misma escena en español ? . -

I guess he won’t be making it to the party

What’s the song please

This scene is well-done, indeed. But the action of the guy is totally egoistic. Not giving a shit about what people who love him, especially his friend played by Meryl Streep who has to witness this, will have to go through. Everyone who ever had to deal with a suicide of a loved-one will confirm that.

What a terrible film. Awful scene.
