Big Night frittata - final scene

[Firsttimerscookbook]

Incredible. Easily one of the best of all time.

[thomascherokeerose]

I loved this ending scene. Usually what's said is the memorable part of the end of a movie. Here it is the unsaid that is memorable. I thought it was genius!

[harvbanger]

I love this scene. I think I've watched it 40 to 50 times over the years. Over and over....I'm kind of mesmerized by this final scene. If you watch carefully, it's a single shot....no edits...which is very unusual in any film. Great stuff...and gets me in the mood for some of this breakfast Frittata.

[cdiciurcio]

beautiful

[sharonafox1]

My favorite movie scene of all time. So perfect. The movements, the timing the emotion...pure perfection! Many years after I saw this film I had the pleasure of being able to share with Stanley Tucci my great gratitude for having witnessed such a supreme scene. It was so wonderful to be able to thank someone who had been involved in the co-creation of such a masterpiece. Thanks for posting this gem.

gay you guys must be all gay or woman if you cry at this i mean wtf? and whats up with borat entering at the end?

[tramvinicyus2]

@Matak12

No, it's enough to be italian or feeling it. a Big Chow from Vinicio (Rome)

[kjfconstruct]

@Matak12

you are a dick

[Matak12]

@kjfconstruct thanks to replying to my 6 month old comment,.............. shit!

[kevinjoubert]

Absolutely one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME. I tell that to people and they just don't get it. I love it though.

[cdiciurcio]

as the Chef of a corp hotel -- this is powerful

[MrClamjuice]

ha.......everytime I watch this movie I can't get over the copper hanging! Slowly and surely,,,,someday I'll have it all!!!!!! (insert evil laugh here)

[castingvote]

who knows the name of the muisc that plays in the beginnin and in the end of the movie? is it claudio villa singing?

[Moviewiz31]

very good, :)

[kinkynerd]

Thanks for posting, such a great scene. Great movie.

[samtastic333]

I want a brother!

[voicecrack99]

This is one of, if not the, greatest movie ending of all time.

[fuelerdog]

great scene. great movie. not really a frittata though.

[billypat]

Simply amazing. If only more directors would realize the effect that such minimalism can have. One of the greatest scenes in movie history.

[sergeichechuchof]

I think is the only film i have seen alone in a cinema. It's one of my favourites. I agree with some comments, it's amazing so many people likes this scene.

[DickC75319]

This was one of the best film endings I've ever seen. The extravagant and the simple, both complete.

[ajsox23]

This is an amazing ending. I love it. Not one word and they forgive each other.

[crystadette]

I'm sorry, but without watching the whole movie I'm not getting it... :P Is the movie released and sold overseas?

[773SleepyHollow]

@crystadette WHY did you watch the final scene of a movie that you've never seen?

[MrClamjuice]

@crystadette

definately need to see the whole movie. Immigrant brothers own a rest. that is struggling. An aquaintance/competitor tells them the brothers that he can invite someone to the restaurant (celebrity) that will help them bring in customers, hence....."the big night".

[golfmaniac007]

the sights and sounds without hardly a word said makes this scene so beautiful. awesome ending. so artsie fartsie.

[arcoulson]

I remembered this scene for 14 years without ever seeing it again. And I've told many people about how special it is. Awesome to find it again on YouTube, thanks.

[Saynomore1982]

Al last! Great film, Saludos desde Argentina.

[jjaniero]

not one thing in this scene that isn't perfect

[jpinguela]

lindo final, me emociona. Sou italo brasileiro e minhas duas seleções estão fora da Copa da Africa,

[SEPLIN2003]

They need to re-release this movie. It was soo ahead of it's time! People now can appreciate it more with the Foodnetwork craze. I loved this movie when it first came out, I love it more now!

[Probabilmente]

questo film è fantastico... e il finale fa venire la pelle d'oca... stupendo!

[magsasaka1960]

Okay...where's the fritata?

[oldschoolruler]

Stanley Tucci is one of the great actors of our times...my wife and I love this film and as has been said...this scene is perfect, even if the night wasn't...he kicked it up another notch in 'Julie/Julia' as Paul Child

[anteaus71]

Maybe it's not a frittata, but only some scrambled eggs...

A me sembrano delle uova strapazzate comunque, altro che frittata.

PS: Il film è bellissimo.

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

@anteaus71 It's an omelette :)

[tlibber]

To echo the comments made by many here, this is a beautiful ending to this film. Hardly any words spoken. And in spite of all the failures of the night before, the understated love of these two brothers exists in a simple meal of eggs and Italian bread. I get misty and hungry just watching it. Thanks for posting!

[harrysboy]

This was a beautiful film, everything went so wrong but this little scene made you think things may be all right..

[thajr]

My mother, and I, see this scene as the most Italian thing in movies. Two brothers, conflicted, but in the end, brothers. Feeling the feeling of blood on blood beyond any other worldly conflict, over a simple meal of eggs and bread. I know the cousin i would embrace over that meal...and the oil and eggs and seasonings I would use. It's an Italian familial love.

[moparbros]

MINIKA now Im fucking hungry, Im  gonna make pasta forno.

[lovenow]

This is, strangely, one of my very favorite movie scenes of any film. It serves as the antidote to the entire fim's drama and the mania of the big night itself. And then, there's something timeless in the simplicity of an omellete served with crusty bread.

And please, always cook eggs with olive oil.

[Skybar99]

Such a gem of a movie--visually stunning (who isn't drooling during the dinner scene?), plus wonderful acting from both Tony & Stanley. Also, has a great ensemble cast--even a cool soundtrack. Mark Anthony is terrific, even though he only has like 2 lines. Anyone who hasn't seen it should do so right away!!!

[seaninasia]

One of my favorite movies. Films like these prove that you don't require hundred million budgets to make a good one.

[FenderStratDave]

Five minutes without a cut. Think about how long that took to make!!

[b3nnic3]

Probably like five minutes!

[FenderStratDave]

No, I mean, think about how many little mistakes they must have made before they finally had a near perfect take of that scene!

[jrcasselman]

And with hardly a word spoken. Silence speaks volumes.

[mwest1705]

I'm Irish, but I love this filem because I love food and I love this scene particularly, because I love my brother and this scene sums it up perfectly. Also, I always use olive oil for eggs, instead of butter.

[FenderStratDave]

I'm very much Italian, and as long as you can truly appreciate things Italian, than you are a friend of mine!

[oiyabastard]

right aint great ??

[ohiosmiles]

This movie was so good! In this scene even a simple frittata looks so good!

[RosaB61]

Love this movie!!!

[84750467]

One of the most powerful movie endings ever! Makes me sad to be an only child.

[D0nQuix0te]

I recommended this movie to my friend when it first came out (1996) and he said it was the dumbest movie he ever saw..He said the ending sucked...I was like WTF are you talking about this was a great movie. I'm so glad there is a following for this movie..I thought I was weird for liking it so much.

[suewhitesox]

@84750467 it is a great last scene.. even simple eggs can bring us all together

[sl4yerd0g]

This damn scene brings a tear to my eye every time.

[gabrielall0n]

i first saw this movie in college with my brother. this scene, just like ten years ago makes me cry. so lovely

[xCAGx77]

this movie is such a rare gem.

[Spicoli8]

This is just a classic scene. nothing is better then scrambled eggs when you are just beat. beautiful scene.

[jtelesio]

One of the most amazing things about this scene is that it was shot as one scene in one take!! No breaks frtom beginning to end. The name of the song at beginning and end is "Stornelli Amorisi" sung by the late, great Claudio Villa. I have been unable to find a recording anywhere but on the soundtrack for "Big Night."

[tapper36]

Ive seen many videos on how to make the best scrambled egg-- this scene tops them all.

[D0nQuix0te]

Hell yeah!

[sharoneus]

That ending is BRILLIANT! Now I have to see this movie again. Thanks for posting.

[harbuthnot]

I particularly love the piece of music played over the credit roll at the end, following this scene, and would love to know its name.Does anyone know?

Amazing how far that omelette goes around!(count the eggs)

[nosundayfear]

Најбољи крај икада

The best ending ever

[MoGreensEye]

A true classic. I love when he puts the bread in the basket, because he knows his brother doesn't like it on the table.

[suiken75]

Im so happy there are so many people who loves this scene. This is my favorite ending and makes me cry every time I watch it. Thanks for posting. Super awesome.

[tncutt]

@suiken75 Love this. Love to watch him fluidly make this egg dish in one shot... Love this scene.

[suiken75]

@tncutt For sure. I swear this movie will never get old. Intensely great.

[cioraj]

The best ending ever...

[scottreiburn]

I agree with you all: One of the great endings of a movie. Subtle, delicious, filled with love and nourishment, and closure.

[vegastyphoon]

Only Italians use olive oil to make scrambled eggs!!! My grandmother from Naples said Americans use butter for everything. Great food movie. Thanks Louie Prima where ever you are...

[johnbourbon]

the best possible ending for this film.

[mummygrabber]

It's a shame most people don't know about this movie. Still, it's a new-classic, nevertheless!!!

[italoknight]

I love this scene. Mi fa piangere. This is the way it should be -- brothers fight, they are angry with each other -- but it ends with them sitting down to the same table to eat.

What's more, he somehow KNEW his brother would return, and makes him a portion of la frittata as well.

L'hanno fatto bene...bravi.

[almadora]

please, please, someone do true quality film lovers a favor and post all of it... people should see the angry glory that is ian holm's pascal and the lemon-suckered car dealer that is campbell scott. i am begging someone, post it all.

[Acelib]

tears...

[wes1220]

...This final scene brought me to tears... it's right up there with the final scene in The Deer Hunter... sometimes there is tremendous power in understatement... this is like poetry...

[hkfreak]

So important. Brotherhood.

[wendyhood]

..oh...

[JazzSage23]

This is probably the ONLY movie ever made in N America that is true about Italians. What a classic!!!
