How dare you claim to represent art? You poor child. Anyone who thinks THIS monstrosity among the great scenes in cinema history simply hasn't seen any great movies. This is pedestrian, politically correct horseshit.
The scene after this is just as moving because up until now we see Denzel's character as a tough, no nonsense kind of guy, he goes home and hugs his wife and kisses his baby goodnight, he was so different after that moment, it was still beautiful.
@QAMaster1138 They should have shawn this scene also, it makes this scene complett and everybody will understand the meanig. I watch it so many times, but always I´m crying. It`s so sad and hopefull.
The words fit perfectly to Andrews situation in this movie. As Maria Callas sings about "The place that cradled me is burning", it is similar to Andrews body breaking down.
I'm not quite sure what this scene is supposed to mean, but every time I see it I'm deeply affected by it. It reminds me of something Fellini once said when he was asked whether he was afraid if people would understand his films, and he said: "you're not supposed to understand it, you're supposed to feel it." and I think no explanation or interpretation of this scene would do it justice. The truly great films make you feel.
I remember when a teacher showed this scene to our class when I was 12 years old. The scene has haunted me ever since. One of the most moving, most powerful things I have ever seen. The 2 greatest actors of our generation completely enveloped in their characters.
@Pizuzuzimmer You're out of touch with reality, and the world would probably be a better place without a egocentric and small person. I feel sorry for you, your parents, and whoever else made you unable to see the real world.
@Pizuzuzimmer You know that HIV can be transmitted through heterosexual sex as well too right? This movie isn't going to turn anyone gay, it isn't going to ruin your life. You act as if someone that doesn't have the same opinion as you is wrong. And if they are different then you they are evil, such as the character in this movie. Therefore, you are out of touch with reality. Have fun locking your kids in a cage so they can't think for themselves Hitler. How dare someone be different then you.
Look, the place that cradled me is burning... I bring sorrow to those who love me.
It was during this sorrow that love came to me.
Live still, I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god... that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the Earth a heaven. I am love!... I am love.
this is the most amazing scene from the movie. it is so full of emotion and poignant power - it was this scene that showed me the beauty of Maria Callas' voice.
@fatizoo1000 I think he was seeing Andrew the man, not Andrew the gay man, not Andrew the man with Aids. Just Andrew the man. This is one of the most powerful parts of this movie. Very moving.
@fatizoo1000 When he started working with Andrew, he was homophobic and tried to keep their communications as strictly attorney/client. Then that all changed in this scene.
One of 3 big myths in life is that there are problems that get in the way of living one's life. In truth, life is only experienced through what we call problems. Problems are the only force that draws human beings to think and to take action. Life cannot be discussed separately or distinguished from problems. Hence, problems do not truly exist. They are life.
How very very moving never fails to bring a tear to my eyes and an ache to my heart for all of those who are not just struck bi HIV, but for the starving children in Somalia
the homeless the abused, the dying and the dead..............my heart aches for you all.
But also my heart sings and my tears dry when a new life is born, and a cancer patient is in remission.........and life goes on.
I'm actually amazed Pizuzuzimmer's responses haven't been removed yet, borders on several phobias :P (Either that or a total lack of sensitivity) Need to check in on that matey :P Hope you don't catch anything :) Besides that, this is the scene that gets people hooked on Callas I think, revival of the Queen of Opera, always cool!
Im 13 years old and this is my favourit emovie and Tom Hanks is my favourite actor. This is such a beautiful opera song and such a powerful scene. Made me cry ♥
Denzel Washington should have won the Oscar for this scene. It is incredible to see how he changes from winter to summer in only 4 minutes without a big play. His intensive minimal gesture touches your heart. Only Marlon Brando could have play like this.
I suppose the Holocaust was also a "hoax", it also being an "allegedly" documented fact.
Those scientists who discovered THE VERY MOLECULE of HIV were just hucksters who wanted to make people addicted to medicine.
It's because of comments like yours (espoused as policy by the former South African government) that South Africans, who are seropositive, comprise 17 percent of HIV/AIDS victims.
You've a right to be a fool. You've no right have your foolishness NOT to be categorized as bull shit.
@danynumero6 So called "medicine" does. Look, Im sorry to say this, but Im not sure if this YouTube comment system is good for any discussion. If you're interested, please Google it & you'll know more about this. If you think it's just another conspiracy theory, then call me an idiot. I dont care.
Oh, that's a government conspiracy involving the UFOs and the Bilderberg group. Elvis and 2Pac (both of whom are still alive) are involved as well, in secret ways I cannot reveal in this forum.

'pppp-poker face' wait here comes the breakdown 'cause Im bluffin with my muffin' you see she just wants to hold something like they do in texas :') she just wants people to know they can gamble when theyre with her T_T lol
Such a powerful flik. I never thought i'd listen to much less like opera but then I watched this movie again a couple days after the superbowl & this scene just did it for me. Now its pretty much nothing but Mozart & his operas. What a trip! & I know this isnt Wolfie so hold ur tongue. Thanx for posting this p
Yes, one of the powerfull scenes in cinematography...the utter despair of Andrew's condition....our glimpse into his most profound sorrow....and Denzel, who is allowed to witness this intimate sharing of grief and hope through the Andrew's interpretation of La Momma Morta. Yes, the mournful aria begs you to cry with it..the lighting, the I.V. the angles of the camera..Denzel's eyes...compassion. Enjoyed your comments MrCancertropic.
Uma das cenas mais lindas que já assisti... a carga emocional do personagem central em contraponto com o outro personagem, que percebe a emoção, a sensibilidade mas não consegue entender tudo por inteiro... maravilhoso!!!
i'm a urban black male born/raised in chi. don't know jack about opera but i tell u, when i saw this scene/movie when i was 12,i cried! i dont know why i did that til this day. i guess it was a testament 2 how powerful film can be.
My favourite scene in the movie is one of the final courtroom scenes, when Hanks is being cross-examined and on the verge of a breakdown. A masterpiece of subtly and technique.
I think that this is the point in the movie when Denzel Washington's character ceases to see Tom Hanks' character as 'client' and begins to see him as 'human being'. You can see that change of viewpoint in Denzel's face as the song progresses. That's what struck me most in the acting along with, of course, Tom Hanks' devastatingly heartbreaking performance.
This is as if God had felt compassion for humankind, and sent to Earth an angel to sing to us so that we could have a glimpse of what heavenly glory and greatness are, and maybe, allow life to be more bearable......this Divine Angel is Maria, La Divina.
I liked the part where Tom Hanks' eyes were closed.
Also, I really enjoy what they did here. The song was an abstract representation of Tom's character's situation portrayed not through the lyrics, but the emotion attached to it. For a moment, the singer and Tom are one.
@iDraw3G I acknowledge him...He's one of the greatest film directors of all time...I love the trademark close up shot of the face...You see it a lot in The Silence of the Lambs as well.
There are people in this world that suffers much more pain than others. I do believe that God speaks to the hurting people and lets them know that He loves them and that He is sorry for what they have suffered.
such a powerful scene in a wonderful film, Tom Hanks is surely the best actor of his generation and Denzil Washington portrays so much empathy without saying a word. One of my favorite films.
Truly one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Amazing music, cinematography, directing, and acting all in one scene. Very rare and without a doubt absolutely beautiful.
I really love this scene. Tom Hanks had the best performance in the film but Denzel had the oscar snub which is sad because his performance was also amazing.
What a star, he truly deserved the oscar for this movie, and the human race should look at themselves before they judge other people. RIP to all who fought the terrible battle till the end.
Tears come to my eyes every time I watch this moving scene. Sadly, I knew several people who died from AIDS in those dark days. What a tragic waste. La Momma Morta is one of my favorite arias too. And Maria Callas really did it justice. Yes, it is one of the most beautiful arias written.
@Pizuzuzimmer I said I 'knew' people, not what they liked or did. Get your mind out of the gutter. People contracted AIDS from blood transfusions and many other reasons. Why do you assume things? Are you sane? I wonder......

How come nobody ever acknowledges the person who directed this - Jonathan Demme?

Because we notice only what we see ... too bad, maybe, but very true.
I discovered it listening to a song: who knew it was made but not one but three or four of our greatest singers and composers?

@iDraw3G I acknowledge him...He's one of the greatest film directors of all time...I love the trademark close up shot of the face...You see it a lot in The Silence of the Lambs as well.

Because neither he nor the scene are remarkable?

There are people in this world that suffers much more pain than others. I do believe that God speaks to the hurting people and lets them know that He loves them and that He is sorry for what they have suffered.

such a powerful scene in a wonderful film, Tom Hanks is surely the best actor of his generation and Denzil Washington portrays so much empathy without saying a word. One of my favorite films.

Truly one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Amazing music, cinematography, directing, and acting all in one scene. Very rare and without a doubt absolutely beautiful.

I really love this scene. Tom Hanks had the best performance in the film but Denzel had the oscar snub which is sad because his performance was also amazing.

What a star, he truly deserved the oscar for this movie, and the human race should look at themselves before they judge other people. RIP to all who fought the terrible battle till the end.

You don't have to be fan of fags or not. You just have to learn about tolerance...

Tears come to my eyes every time I watch this moving scene. Sadly, I knew several people who died from AIDS in those dark days. What a tragic waste. La Momma Morta is one of my favorite arias too. And Maria Callas really did it justice. Yes, it is one of the most beautiful arias written.

@Pizuzuzimmer I said I 'knew' people, not what they liked or did. Get your mind out of the gutter. People contracted AIDS from blood transfusions and many other reasons. Why do you assume things? Are you sane? I wonder......

@Pizuzuzimmer Do you imply that I do those things? You're letting your imagination run away with you.
