When OP posted this I was thinking in a positive light, but I didn't think to think of negative feelings.
I'm with you.
I don't even think the movie is anything soecial, but that scene... FUCK.
why?
The inevitability of it all is so futile... I want this movie marked as non canon.
I'm not that old.
People hate this movie because they went in to it expecting to see a movie about how Superman responds to humanity, but what they got was a movie about how humanity responds to superman
>>69835095
Negative or Positive it can be "powerful". I can think of plenty of moments in movies that made me feel joy.
But that part of The Neverending Story just stuck with me, personally.

"Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo?"
This whole scene.
I've seen this movie about 100 times and it still makes me emotional.
The part right after, when he says, "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you," is one of my favourite lines in cinema.
>>69835740
that scene...damn
>>69836907

Lincoln didn't give a shit about slaves. The entire war was fought to crush Southern agrarian society that refused to buy Northern industrial goods.
Seriously. Lincoln was an outside candidate in the party until Big Business lined up behind him and bought him the election so he could prosecute a war.

No shit, but the scene is even more powerful if you know that. Knowing that Lincoln was manipulating the people around him to destroy the south. There's very little altruism in the entire movie. Spielberg did it right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sUlupV48I
I know it's just Michael Bay. But I don't think I've ever felt a greater hope in the world. The feeling that we could band together to solve something that affects us all. He didn't realistically depict the moment with any sense of doubt or show any faggots running around screaming about the end of the world. This scene was just pure positive energy.
I don't feel that about our world. Almost everything I look at in our world I know that we are fucking it up. When I see someone running in the street I can't help but think about how stupid they are for running on concrete and in the middle of the fucking day sweating unnecessarily and giving themselves skin cancer.
But in this scene in Armageddon it was all these perfect scenes of fictional America and a unified Earth.
>>69843929
Armageddon is legit my least favourite movie ever made. It's fucking scum in the form of sound and visuals. I don't think there are many things in the world I hate more than Armageddon.
Pain & Gain was legit good though.

>>69844060
I completely understand where you are coming from. If you and I had a discussion about Armageddon there is probably nothing I would disagree with you about it.
That being said, I feel that its pandering is as absolute as you will ever get in film - as if you could not make a product that pushes the positive buttons in a human brain harder. Armageddon is pure feel-good in absolutely every part of it. And that in itself is impressive to me because it shows that Michael Bay is just sitting there and just using every trick he knows to make something appealing to a person. There is just nothing about the movie that doesn't drip with this aura of goodness that most people would call you a heartless dick to criticize. The soundtrack, the cast of ridiculously admirable diamonds in the rough played by exceptionally charismatic people, the stupidly heroic lines.
I have never felt so good about something as when I watch Armageddon. I know in my mind it is utter trash but it's so fucking convincing. It's like drinking a milkshake and bathing in the bliss of it but knowing that it's probably giving you diabetes and the cow that made the milk lives under the worst conditions and the fruit was picked by slave labor.

I see what you're getting at, but I think that you can get a purer version of the same sensations out of pretty much any Disney/Ghibli movie.
I don't actually mind the first half of Armageddon too much either, it's just kind of boring and mediocre. Only once they get into space does it truly becomes proof that god hates us.

>Disney/Ghibli
I unfortunately cannot dissociate myself from the fact that Disney and Ghibli films don't take place in the real world; the mechanics of fantasy solves problems that otherwise would fuck up anybody's day is kinda why I can't make that same leap in feelings. I'm not saying that's bad. It's just a barrier for me. Ghibli used to feel so wonderful. I just can't enjoy most (animated) films anymore unfortunately and it feels terrible because it feels like pandering. I think if I were to watch Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time today, I would find myself disliking it for no good fucking reason at all.
I'm not saying Armageddon is my favorite movie. But it certainly is the movie that I can't help but love kicking and screaming. It's the same pandering as a Disney movie with cartoonish personalities and reality defying bullshit but in a "grownup" setting.
I think I know how to put it in a word. Armageddon is an "effective" movie. It is so fucking effective at doing what it wants to do though being devoid of artistic value but in being so effective it makes it great in its own way.
People here are discussing Lincoln - that is an incredibly effective movie to me and there are a million more good things to say about it. I feel so good about everything in Lincoln it was insane; I knew nothing about that man and after watching that movie I felt like I knew him better than anyone even though I realistically knew shit.

to be honest one of the most moving, powerful cinematic scenes i have ever seen is the end of Warcraft 3: the Frozen Throne.
that long journey where Arthas has lost his soul, his family, his subjects, it seems a prince who was destined for everything has lost his place. here in the shadows he is alone with only his disturbed thoughts, the voices of his past condemn him clearly and louder than ever before. everything he touched, was destroyed, just as the summit of icecrown is now collapsing around him.
and then he takes his crown, his throne basked in the dying light. He is at the top, the world is his realm, at the very roof of the world from where he rules. and at the top, where it is lonely and cold, it is very quiet. it is calm.
and we see him. and then the camera pans out and we see glorious icecrown glacier. then we're back in the menu screen and we see glorious arthas on the frozen throne. and you think "there he is".
i get all sorts of funny feelings when i think about how good blizzard used to be.

Blizzard cinematics haven't been as powerful in recent games, namely SC2 and D3 (I watched them all but didn't play the games). They're really bad now.
The trailers for Warcraft III and Starcraft 2 were beyond amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBODH8ElBak
I get really sad about what was lost at Blizzard. I feel even worse when I don't even know who was responsible for making it good in the past. That scene in the Science Vessel where they have a beer with the nuke. They lost that; it makes me sad that they lost that and I don't even know if internally they realize that.
>>69839295
I found the whole movie and the ending incredibly moving.
As far as other emotions go, I'd say THAT ONE scene in Cache was very potent
The end of Amour wherehe smothers his wife
also the end of In the Mood for Love when he's at Angkor Wat
>>69845602
Running on concrete will blow out your joints and knees due to repeated impact on a hard surface; this is why running on grass or dirt is better because it has some give whereas concrete doesn't.
Running in the middle of the day at peak temperatures is fucking retarded. You're just recklessly exerting yourself and sweating and fucking with your body's internal temperature regulation for no good reason.
Also, the sun is brutal in the midday and that's never good for your skin.
The best time to run is early in the date or late in the evening when the sun and temperature isn't wrecking you. Nobody talks about it when they can't fucking walk but be certain that all the people you see with ruined legs in their 50s and beyond spent their lives standing on hard surfaces. People who have desk jobs who run on concrete will blow out their joints and knees too in their old age because they made the shit decision to run on pavement.
So consider that something that ruins your perception of the world. Absolutely single person running on the sidewalk is doing it wrong.

diablo 1 -2 warcraft 2 - 3 and starcraft OG will forever have a special place in my soul.
those series lost something special. the music, the characters, the dialogue, the setting. alot of the cinematics in those games were pretty moving too.
i hate whats happened to blizzard nowadays. they really buried their other franchises aside from "world of warcraft" in the fucking cold ground by sacrificing iconic characters, dialogue, and music for graffix and memes.

The bit that vexes me is that Metzen, the art/creative director has been with the company as early as Warcraft 2.
And yet this is the same fucker (partially) responsible for all the charm in past Blizzard properties and also the same guy sucking it out of them.
And I'm sitting here wondering, "Does nobody fucking know what made the company good?" It's just so easy to blame Activision, it's the only thing to blame. It is just so fucking legitimately tragic what happened to Blizzard and it baffles me that people who love Blizzard to this day don't fucking get it.
