Bloody finale of the film "If".

[yda1740]

What is the piece played on the organ? I know in the film it is the school song, but is the melody taken from a hymn?

[Rasberrysundae101]

is it some demon that crawls into your brain?

[skittlehappymatt]

Enough is remembered though, li'l Alex!

[TheMimifur]

Just chatting to a young chap and he realises how important this film is. God, sometimes it's good to preach!!

[eddiesoddworld]

To all that watch this clip....

It was filmed at my boarding school. Aldenham in Heartfordshire. I was there from 1997-01

I walked those coridoors, sat and ate in those rooms, and they were some of the best days of my life

!!!!

[Farvai0]

Why did they shoot? Why does this happen?(I havent seen the movie)

[commonsenseforUSA]

@Farvai0,

I recommend you see the movie then and find out for yourself. I'd hate to ruin it, and its actually quite good.

[dorkdoll]

[dorkdoll]

[dorkdoll]

when this was made it could only happen in a horror film now it's already happened /hungerford the cabbie in 2010 in cumbria

[Setebos]

My wife lost all sympathy with the main characters upon seeing this scene. I keep telling her to watch the movie again, and thoroughly.

[inamonianim]

Fuck the system

[Redcom001]

I'll never be able to hear "I sing the mighty power of God" the same way again.

[TheLittleDeath1]

Bastards! Bastards! Bastards!

[mrtulala1]

If founder's day was like this at my school, I might be tempted to go...

[videogamenostalgia]

Best graduation ever...

[asceticification]

1968... year of resistance...

[magamaga56]

Wish I had my school days back again.

[hamlowdaniel]

I see myself as Mick Travers in an alternate reality doing this at my high school graduation.

[MrGoblin60]

Any chick who could shoot a man in the forehead with a .45 at, oh, say, 80 metres ought to be in the Olympic shooting team!

[carverbrian]

Also, the entire scene is probably a dream or fantasy sequence, watch the film...

[KellyGreen5555]

@carverbrian Thank you! I marvel that people fail to grasp the possibility. It's right there in the bleedin' title.

[shadycharacter220]

@carverbrian i dont think its a dream. i like to think this all does actually happen :)

[orchidtender]

@shadycharacter220 If you re-watch the movie you will notice that "Girl" (Christine Noonan) was only visible to Travis (McDowell). Any of the scenes in which she appears are fantasy scenes in Travis' mind.

[shadycharacter220]

@orchidtender not true, ive watched it about 5 times now, in the coffee shop the girl is also visible to the other guy (is he johnny? cant remember).

[orchidtender]

@shadycharacter220 while correct, I believe that any interaction between anyone and the girl is purely in Travis' mind. She only appears in fantasy scenes.

But it's open to interpretation, and there is no "right" answer.

[shadycharacter220]

@orchidtender yeah my point exactly lol. i like it my way

[duckgeezer]

@orchidtender then how did she serve them both with coffee?

[orchidtender]

@duckgeezer In my opinion, she didn't. He imagined the interaction. My hypothesis is that any scene in which she appears is completely imaginary.

That's not to say that the two of them going to that coffee shop and havingt coffee did ir didn't happen - it's possible. But that "The Girl" served them - as opposed to an unremarkable server we never see - is fantasy.

[MaxwellTurn]

@carverbrian you are quite right, it was a fantasy. If you notice the damage done to the ground is non-existent despite the number of Mortar rounds dropped onto the green.

That said, this is my favourite film of all time and as far as I am concerned, it is the only reason the science and art of cinematography came into existence-alright-I'm exaggerating-but not by all that much!

[orchidtender]

@MaxwellTurn You are probably right, but the lack of realism/damage during the gun battle was typical of action films of that era. They were nowhere near as "authentic" as today's modern audiences expect from a movie. Whether it was intentional in this case is certainly open to interpretation.

[cythera431]

this fictional scene at a British public school has nothing to do with Columbine. this "massacre" is against the tyrannical "authorities," not fellow students, as at Columbine.

In any case, that knight in armor kicks ASS!

[witchman67]

@cythera431 yes.

[tempelton]

And all because they didn't serve pudding that day!

[KellyGreen5555]

@tempelton No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

[TulseLuper]

It's unfortunate that this is associated with the likes of Columbine. This isn't a massacre, this is a war. As the poster said, "Whose side will you be on?"

[altanurag]

I can't help thinking about Columbine High School...

[cythera431]

Bren gun: accept no substitutes.

[houston8ank]

[MercenaryMonk]

As caverbrian says, you need to have gone to Public School. This was probably the most influential film in me deciding to join the Army. I did. (2 of them!).

[fil512]

I don't get it.

[shane013a]

@fil512 Don't get what? What is there to possibly get? Watch the whole movie....you'll get it. It's available.

[Danyukhin]

You didn't have to include the credits, y'know?

[albertpesker]

damn that girl was a crack shot!!

[DryIce7]

Bastards! Bastards!
