Does anybody else just enjoy this scene as much as I do?

this scene just breaks my heart that Heath is a damn good actor

26 now, saw this movie when I was 14. This is one of those scenes that resonates with you even if youre too young to understand why yet.

As an alcoholic I can relate so hard to that pause when he looks at the whiskey bottle for a second then thinks "fuck it, i'll stop drinking tomorrow"

Forget the Joker, this was Heath Ledger's best role. This whole film was cast brilliantly.

This scene is so haunting yet captivating. MR. Ledger’s talent was immeasurable. We see a “defeated” Skip having to become the employee, but still having a little bit of the rascal with some whiskey and groovin’ to Maggie May.

The war with himself has come to an end and he's just living now. One of my favorite films. "They wanted it gone man, they wanted it gone".

I honestly love this scene so much, I have no idea why. It's just so great. RIP Heath Ledger

It was actually Heath’s idea to use Maggie May play in this scene, brilliant choice in my opinion. He was so amazing and talented, crazy to think he was only 25 when he played Skip. RIP beautiful, we all miss you down here🖤

Grateful for this scene. Introduced me to Maggie May.

Man, this sums up everything right here. You can feel the emotions that he thinks he is a failure, and then turns up the volume and just keeps on trucking

Such a wild scene. Owned the shop. Made skateboarding a thing basically. And then loses everything works in the back of the shop and the dude he kicked out of his shop in the beginning is his new boss. But now he’s finally just living life instead of wanting the world.

Recall the earlier white-overalls "Yeah, uh, thanks for fixing the door, man" scene. That broken door now opens here.

Some of the most natural acting you will ever see. This is what they mean when they say an actor “sleepwalks” through a role.

I watched this movie because it came in a bundle deal when I bought the first ever PSP. don't regret watching it. I loved it so much, heath ledger is the goat for this movie. I was barely a young teen and now im 28. I feel like watching it again now

“bittersweet” We feel bad for Skip because he’s clearly fallen on hard times. He seems to have lost his “friends”, his shop, his dreams and now he’s using alcohol to numb the pain of it all. He played a hand to win big at something and to acquire wealth and high status and he lost. He lost big time...But...he still knows what makes a good board! And he doesn’t have to live a useless life. There’s meaning and purpose that can be found in that. Because he still has an appreciation for surfing and music and maybe that’s all he needs to get by. Just living one day at a time and being in service to others. It’s a beautiful yet sad sight to see. But there’s a lot worse ways to live....

I was actually impressed with the acting of all those younger dudes. Never heard of them, and they all crushed it. Great casting.

You can feel his characters emotional pain, and the song adds a unique essence to this scene. Top quality acting, the way he stares at the liquor bottle and lets out that short breath of sorrow, and disgust. before he takes a drink.

Hey does anybody notice skip boss is the same guy that skip kicked out of his old shop after he didn't have any money to browse.. oh how the tables have turned LOL

Always loved this scene. “Skip” coming to terms with his life decisions but how Heath portrays its without saying a word is flawless acting.

A pretty sad but amazing scene. You can argue skip was The Godfather of skating, got all these guys together, started the team and they all left him behind to chase their own glory. Skip was broken but somehow managed to continue doing what he loved and that was working in a surf shop.

Such a great scene, I grew up in HB in the 70s and would watch the board shapers in back alleys of the Surf shops

When you're left alone with your mind and bottle of whiskey. It comes sooner or later

born in 2003, movie came out in 2005. I didn’t watch it until I was a little much older but this movie touched my heart. It inspired me to start skating. My favorite character was always Jay boy Adams. my favorite scene was when they were at a gas station and Jay gets some cheese fries, puts it next to some dudes car and proceeds to jump on it from a ledge making the cheese explode all over the car.

what a emotional scene

we all go a little skip sometimes

Sometimes ending up back where u started is a win within itself.. I feel like this scene reflects that

Me and my oldest brother grew up Skating and Surfing and when he heard about me and my Ex wife’s breakup he knew things would be rough for me but he knew I had that mentality of finding peace In staying busy like Heath did In this scene. He got emotional and called me and said Bro you got this. I’ll never forget that call and years later as I was his best man in his wedding Maggie May jammed and we had that moment he spoke about

I always thought that this was one of his finest scenes.

From owning the surf skate shop to working in the back of the surf skate shop

That moment when you accept that a wild chapter in your life has come to an end and that, despite the pain and longing for what was, it's time to move on.

r.i.p jay and heath

Is it me? But did any of yall ever noticed how the store employer was the same guy that Skip kicked out of his own same store, a few years ago, at the beginning of the film?

I get chills everytime I see the end of this movie an absolute gem almost get tears when I see Heath he was literally in his element in this movie just amazing job thank you for this film

Shit is classic!!!! One of the best scenes in the movie

One of my favorite scenes 🖤 RIP heath ledger

One of my favorite scenes. Skip/Heath just getting on with it. Past the bullshit. Such a great fkn actor. Loved him in this movie.

Skip made peace with his former self & move on with his life until sometime in the 80s where he was approached by Natas Kaupas. Heath perfectly portrayed Skip in this scene. Gone way too soon. #RIPHeath

2023 & it’s still one of the best movies😍

What a great moment of reflection for heaths character. The ability to go from somber to enthusiastic is a great representation that life will keep going and it takes you to be content

I saw this movie 15 years ago about a month after graduating high school. Care free days and this scene encapsulates that time.

That sip of whiskey was Skip wishing he never disrespected Stacy.

Revisiting this now at Skip's age or (Heath Ledger's) at the time, is strange to say the least but man this film has a special place in my heart.

One of my favorite scenes of all time. You think Skip has hit rock bottom, but then he turns up the radio and starts doing what he loves. Like it was where he was always supposed to be.

I just love this scene. Means to me that everyman have to do

I read somewhere that Heath was scripted to sing a different song in the movie and he refused, stated he felt stupid and couldnt sing.. He later suggested to the director that he be allowed to sing "Maggie May", and he agreed.

It wasn’t just acting it’s the feeling of the character he had

This movie and Point Break are a masterpiece.

Underrated movie, and this is the best scene by far.

i always come back to this scene. rest in peace, heath.

you can choose your life until your life chooses for you...

Beautiful 💕 love his voice

I love singing Maggie May knowing Heath did, he's the Greatest of all time

I can not hear this song without thinking about every thing about this scene. Absolute perfection in every way.

Damn since seeing this back in the day during middle school till now, has always stuck. Whenever I drink I always thought I should be back in school. I used to see myself in his shoes just as he does in this scene. Fucking reality bites.

Every heath ledger movie is a gold one!!!too bad he left the world so early!! This movie changed my boredome to awesome!!! I keep collecting CDs of heaths movies,I was so saddened by his passing but prefer to keep his MEMRIES alive n kickin'!!

Ahh nostalgia

I wanna hear Heath sing the whole song 😢

Fucking powerful scene. Can relate.

めっちゃ好きなシーン

Such an amazing artist

It's funny when I was younger I saw this guy as a businessman trying to stand in the way of the kids success and fame for his own interests. Now that I'm older I see it as a man trying his best to hold together a family of people and watching it slowly disintegrate because of massive external forces. Then Stacy went on to face the same thing in his company when the bones brigade guys wanted to do their own thing, kinda poetic. It's sad in a way because Zephyr could have been the Man Utd of skateboarding but as Jay said in that pier scene "he had to pay the rent". In a funny way, Jay's attitude with change is something I struggled with so much when I was younger. But like Skip says to Jay "hey, your momma - she has to eat right?", that's so mature. It's something I could just never come to terms with, that the world just has to go in a direction sometimes, even if it sucks, even if it's a bad direction, it's just the way it has to be. It's like a huge wave coming at you and you're asking politely for that wave to turn around. It just can't. I hated things changing, I hated people changing, I hated the world changing, I couldn't deal with something I loved coming to an end. I kept and sometimes keep catching myself trying to hang on to things the way they were at a point in time. The maturity here is that Skip sees all that and he realizes he gave it his best shot at keeping it together, but regardless of all that he can still remain true to himself. He can still make surfboards he can still be who he is even if the world around him changes. You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept it. That took me so long to realize, is that the change around you is as inevitable as the wind, but you can always still be you. The real victory for all these guys, is that they're still skateboarders/surfers. Even if they're 80, pushing a board along at 1mph, that's still such a monumental victory when you think about it. That in a world that wants you to be a certain way, you can still hold onto something. That's what life is, living who you are. Some of us get to pass that on in a literal sense with kids, but in a way these guys passed all of what they are along with the worldwide success of skateboarding. It's like a lineage of life, culture and ideas. Like the first Hawaiian tribes that surfed, those surfers probably never imagined that like hundreds of years later people all over the world would surf. If they never did, who's to say we ever would've. We never would've gotten skateboarding. Without skateboarding so much would be different culturally. It all becomes ripples man. The thing is, you don't even have to be a rockstar or famous or even have the ideas. Just being you and coming together with other people can be enough. I feel bad for people trying to be something other than themselves, you see people wrapped up in politics, in their image, in drugs or alcohol and you realize how unhappy they are. Their wins don't fulfil them, their losses are a crisis, it all becomes a frail house of cards. Meanwhile when Skip finished this board, even if it was a shit day, a part of him still felt good about it. Not because it was perfect, not because it was done, not because it was soothing or something, but because he did it. He did something, in spite of the chaos in the world around him. For anyone reading this that needs to hear this, just be here. Even if it sucks. Don't fight the world and just do your thing, it's enough.

Love this scene! Love this song!

his charisma tho, I forgot what that movie is about but I could never forget this scene, the way he sings maggie may, always replay in my head

I dont think I've ever seen a more relatable scene.

I remember to Heath more for this legendary movie than his others. Skip never gonna die.

When Skip hears that song, he knows it's time to get back on the clock.

My all time favorite Heath Ledger scene

notice how his body and demeanour instantly crumple as he touches the booze in contrast to the enthusiasm he has for waxing a surfboard

Most Beautiful scenes ever.

the best actor in the world for me.

I know Skip had he's flaws but honestly he deserved so much more! He and he's crew the zypher store started them and when the money finally came they bailed on him they could've at least skated a year and help Skip get he's store thriving and then gone their own way.

Great song feel him taking the shot at the end God bless

This scene makes me smile

This flim has amazing songs

Damnit Heath!!! Too good my friend. Too good ❤❤❤

I was thirteen when my godfather got me a board and this movie for my birthday. Never got out of the board ever since.

Heath was a very talented actor.

Can't take a drink without this memory.

Love Heath. Can’t hear Maggie May without seeing him.

My brother is step brother is a surfboard shaper he's specialty are long boards. Because of him we got to go to the quicksilver house on the north shore best thanksgiving i ever had.
