As objective as Cristina is, its really heartbreaking to see how she realised those little but important things of Burke that were missing from their apartment. Its in these scenes that Sandra Oh makes an apparently acidic character so truly endearing...
"He's gone. He's gone. I'm... I'm free" I sooooo did not expect her to say "free" it was so original, unexpected, ture and honest. Great writing as always
every time cristina cries i cry. every time. because shes the tough one that keeps it together, and its painful to see her hurt. i dont cry during movies or tv shows but cristina really strikes a nerve.
@sjagirl2345 pretty sure he was fired! According to other sources he made unsuitable comments about TR Knights sexuality in public which didnt go down too well with the producers of the show..... you can read about it on Wikipedia.
I love the friendship between Meredith and Cristina - they've always been there for each other even at the darkest of times but also at the best of times.
Burke left Christina at the alter. I think she really did love him but she was never ready to get married. That's not who she is. In the end, burke was forcing her to be someone she wasn't. I think that's what she meant. Hoped I helped!! :)
i think she meant that shes free, because the mother made her wear that necklace, burke made her do the whole huge weeding thing, it was just not her, and she was finally free but when she says damn it, she means that even though all of that annoyed her, she still loved him, and him being gone is so much worse.
this connection between cristina and meredith reminds me of me and my best friend...this is touching it's like no matter what your best friend will be there even if it's to cut open your wedding dress and hold you up while you cry
i love how all of my favourite characters spazz out when they're in wedding dresses: cristina yang, carrie bradshaw :) no one want to get married really
they had to make up some story to get issiah washinton off the show--cause he said those things about t.r. knight being gay and ABC was ike HELL NO, YOU"RE FIRED. so, him leaving her at the altar was the best they could do--but he did think she didnt want to marry him so...
Her character puts off a front of not liking being attached to anyone, but in all honesty that's what she wanted with the guy she's talking about. The freedom she's referring to is being without him. so its kind of a good thing (she's free to live how she wants) but its a bad thing because she doesn't want that. if that makes sense
if you don't mind me elaborating on that...she was so used to being with him. she helped build him up (especially when he had this hand tremor), left her place to live with him. She kinda left part of her life and some of who she was to be with him (including having a big wedding and white dress--which she initially objected to). All in all, now she has to start living her own life again because she's free to do so. But she's probably like 'dang I did all this for him and now he leaves me?'
it's very theatrical, it'd prolly work on stage as much as it'd work on film, that's why it was fantastic. and she broke down completely without a close up, most peops cant.
She is a great actor, but i still don't like her. Her character is so mean and for me it looks like she actually fits in that, like she doesn't really have to act to be mean. Sorry if i hurt somebody's feeling.
...but it lost some of it's emotion for me b/c the first time i watched it, i was too pissed off at neredith for freaking dumping derek in front of EVERYBODY!
sandra oh is absolutely awesome in this scene. christina is so cold, and when she cries, it's like.. i can't explain, but she is just awesome. i love grey's.
Isaiah Washington called T,R, Knight a fag. To make matters worse he made s stupid remark at The golden globes about not calling T.R. Knight a fag. Thus bye bye Isaiah. Good Riddance.
YT had the footage up from the golden globes but I don't know if it is still there.
bellamissen under me knows what happened. called the black guy a faggot thats what it was. thats why he got fired and this scene was put in instead of a wedding.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok guys. I dont wanna burst your bubble on this. But it seems a lot of people dont know what happened. This wasnt supposed to happen BUT Meiki Phipher who plays the black guy (I dont know his name) got fired. He got fired because he called the black guy a dumb nigger. So...they fired him and had to remake this part of the movie. And this is what they made. It sucks I know but they didnt do a bad job considering it was on short notice.
the black guy's name is Isaiah Washington...no idea where you got meiki phipher from. and he was the one who called T.R. Knight (a white guy) a faggot. this isn't a movie, and they didn't have to remake anything, they just left him out of the next season and said he never returned. where did you get your info?
he didnt actually call t.r. a faggot. isaiah got into an arguement with patrick dempsey and in the exchange he used the word faggot. as it was stated, t.r. believed it to be a reference to him, when in actuality he was not involved in it, and was not the subject of the confrontation.
