  • Love this part in the song Forsaken by VnV Nation..

  • HEY, WHERE'S THE HEADREST PAPER?

  • There is just something absolutely amazing about those lines.:D Brings happy and sad tears.

  • New Horizons VIP - Rameses B

    Great song that uses this quote.

  • Boysetsfire...

  • The Dr is a very fine actor see him in 'Leon' and 'do the right thing'.

  • This is my all time favorite film

  • had a bad car accident a few years ago and after i saw my i car at the collision center i couldnt decide if it was possible to survive that crash... everyone said how lucky i was. i totally felt like the character in the movie for the past few years, what a mind fuck!

  • from the days when Hollywood made movies worth going to see. A Masterpiece!!

  • so then why did they try to hit him with a car

  • Good clip just wish the sound was a little louder I can't even hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • What utter bullshit..

    What worth would the life of a human have if he were just to throw his memories of that life away when he dies?

  • @Krynaf memories dont matter anymore once you are dead, they are bound to your earthly existence. your soul however will be freed.

  • @MrMushroom123 Alright, you're entitled to your own opinion. If that is what you believe, fine. But I don't. I believe that my memories will stay part of myself forever.

  • @MrMushroom123 i Thought about what you said about memories ...if memories dont exist anymore why do people see dead relatives waiting for them ...

  • @Krynaf MAYBE TO GET READY FOR A REBIRTH ?

  • @reedeema Well, at least _I_ would still want to keep certain memories.

  • @Krynaf mmmhm i quess thats the hole ponit of bieng born again , but then again i dont really know if i would want to be reborn on this planet .....

  • only 26K views..what a disgrace, This scene talks sense to all human beings.

    Such good philosophy -....of your frighened of dying and holding on....

    What a great fim..thanks very much for making it

  • God knows you're lonely souls.

    -TEW

  • UNKLE!!

  • This movie is so beautiful. It's not a horror film with dramatic elements, it's a drama with elements of horror.

  • Rabbit In Your Headlights

  • One of the most creepy horror movies i've ever seen. If you like underground D&B then check out Panacea's audio interpretation of the movie, 'Panacea - Jacobs Ladder'. Bad ass tunes inspired by a bad ass film.

  • im gonna get the first quote as a tattoo

  • some deeeeeep shit. 

  • Definitely see the connection between this and the Bordo Thodol.

  • Everyone needs a Guardian Angel like Danny Aiello

  • I walked into my chiropractor looking this way for several years sometimes with bad schizo nights, and with unkle's music to keep me relaxed..blew my mind when i saw this guy in this actual scene, and he's a chiro. Its portrayed beautifully...esp how you feel when you walk out of a chiro, and worrying and nerve centers etc...and most chiros arent that different to this guy, he's just more connected/hooked up with peace.

  • @SlyNicolai why ignore it? because it's true? lol

  • the only thing that burns in hell, is the part of you that wont let go of your life, your memories, your attachments you burn them all away but their not punishing you he said their freeing your soul, so the way he sees it if your frightened of dying and your holding on you see devils tearing your life away but if you made your peace then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth......words of an angel

  • @sirpico123 They're*

  • i wanna get my back cracked so bad

  • This was the best, most epic movie ever made. After you fully understand what is happening, the movie touches your very soul and leaves you in awe.

    Sheer brilliance.

  • this movie changed my life forever

  • this is my favorite scene.

  • @luptatorulpasnic read the title of this video you massive retardd!!!

  • I can watch this movie any time of day and it never ceases to amaze me and give me goose bumps. I love it!!!!!!!!

  • the most inspirational heavy shit i've ever heard by far!

  • I think that doctor is his philosophical voice, helping him to understand everything he studied before and helping him to accept his death.

  • is this meant to be a horror movie

  • @tacticalboi

    No, it's more of a psychological/suspense-thrille­r type, along the same lines of "The 6th Sense" and "Identity". It's not exactly scary as much as it is mentally-disturbing. Still, it's a great movie.

  • @jpwpcp yea but some clips ive seen sent a chill up my spine

  • If my frightened of dying?

  • @luptatorulpasnic

    ... Jacob's Ladder? O:

    Good movie. 

  • It's an interesting view on Hell, but to me, what burns in Hell is your entire soul, of ocurse, depending on how you lived in life. I mean, it's Limbo where part of you doesn't want to let go yet.

  • UNKLE! :D

  • @afthefragile Rabbit in your Headlights. Class.

  • Poor Jacob the US Government gave him and his unit in VIET F UCKING NAM THE LADDER TO MAKE SURE THEY WOULD FIGHT THE ENEMY. HOWEVER, THEY ENDED UP KILLING EACH OTHER. YEARS LATER , JACOB BEGINS SEEING ALL THIS CRAZY S HIT BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS HE GOT. I TELL YOU THE LADDER IS WORST THAN AGENT ORANGE..

  • @TheSoundOfSuccess

    Yeah, Unfortunately Lionsgate flagged this vid for copyright and embedding can't be enabled.

  • @Colegade also embed can skip, but no embed so I have to go through advertisement video.

  • Beautiful scene in an otherwise disturbing movie.

  • Relax.

  • Beautiful words but I believe it's our memories that make us human.

  • One of the best scenes in one of the best movies.

  • Great moment in an excellent film. But please uploader correct the spelling of "your" to you're, and "attachements" to attachments.

    KTHNXBAI

  • this movie change my life! beautiful!!!

  • this is masterful writing.

  • true poetry. incredible film!

  • This is probably the best part of the movie, the high point in the movie: Jacob's doctor reciting this line. Beautiful! When I first heard Louis recite the poem, I nearly broke down crying

  • I really dont get this......please someone explain it to me.

    We cant have attachments because we will end up being holding nervously our life.

    But what about love? Are parents, grandparents, wife/husband our children. They are our attachments and we love them so much that we will always love them as strong as we can even when were dying. So whats heaven?

  • @Polandball I think it means(I think) so I could be way off, that we need to learn to let go of our attachments, if not we can not be free from them, its not saying we shouldnt have, we all do but when we hold and pine its painful,

    Jacob is told continuosly that he is dead but he cannot let go off his attachments

  • @Polandball When he does however it looks like him and his son go to Heaven, perhaps a state of pure understanding and acceptance. If we forever fear death as the end then we will attach to the earth and find only pain but if we let go and accept that we must transcend sometime then our spirits our freed into what ever it is waiting for us. I love to think there is a spiritual home out there, the thing we cant quite comprehend but feel and seek for.

  • @Polandball I find this to be one of the most beautiful and profound scenes of anything I've ever seen, and one of the many things that makes Jacob's Ladder one of if not my favorite movie. For the past two years, I have been having intense spiritual/near-death experiences where I became aware that this physical world is not the true reality but an illusion. That I am part of something infinite, but for whatever reason, compartmentalized here.

  • Also featured in Rabbit In Your Headlights by UNKLE

  • a perfect example of poetry

  • damn i rly like this quote, "If your frightened of dying, and your holding on. You'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels,... Freeing you from the earth."

  • this reminds me of A Clockwork Orange O.o

  • If i can become a ghost and see the whole worl when i die then im ready to die now :P

  • I maybe a bit warped for saying this but i think it is truely beautiful.

    Which in this world is i think a very rare thing indeed.

    The sheer poetry of it,is just perfect.

    Check out jon the dentist jacobs ladder and if you r like me you will be left in awe

  • @LeseMaxwell ... great track by Jon the Dentist, he used this part as a sample for the track indeed, i still remember him playing his track at DanceValley festival (Holland) august '96.

  • @LeseMaxwell Stunning, stunning film.

  • This movie is fucking creepy but has good morals

  • apparently this quote is used for a lot of music. another song it's in, if l may, is called "Leave the Light On" by Lagwagon

  • hahaha really good song indeed...but i think lagwagon was talking about sentimental splits...

    I'd give anything to bring you back to say goodbye...

  • wow, l did not know that. thx : )

  • haha it's a little suggestive because the name of the record, "Let's talk about feelings" and "Love Story", "May 16th" (you and her lothing this cruel world)...Leave the light on...it's kind of existencial also the record but i think this is the only similarity with this dialog...

  • its also in "free me" by distance

  • In my opinion one of the greatest scenes in cinema!!

  • I heard this Quote in a Boysetsfire song. Its a great movie!! Trippy

  • does anyone else feel like everything just kind of died around may of this year? like theres no feeling in anything? not for music, food, people, or even life???

  • Nope, I am happy :3. Must be you.

  • were in the end times

  • l feel that all the time...

  • Same here...

    Life, curious thing, the emptier it gets, the more it weighs.

  • you think that music just finally died? where have you been. music has been getting consistently worse over the last 10 years if not 20.

  • @MegaWalkindude Every generation says that.

  • i always think about this line... Mabey...I'm already dead!?

  • Great quote from a great film.

  • This whole movie is full of vocal samples ready to be used!

    By the way, everytime i watch this scene it makes me want to get my back popped by a chiropractor!

  • I fucking love this movie holy shit

  • yeah this is an amazing quote

  • Good line. I love the way VNV Nation uses it in Forsaken.

  • This quote is also used in the Solitary Experiments song "Counterpart" look it up! It's very similar in style to VNV Nation's stuff. The song is very beautiful, although it has no lyrics, just bits of the movie quotes.

  • This was excerpted in Thom York and Unkle's "A Rabbit in Your Headlights". Scatterbrain (As Dead as Leaves) by Radiohead was also probably influenced by it.

  • Aye, It's also used by alot of Industrial / Underground musicians such as VNV Nation- Forsaken, Solitary Experiments- Counterpart, and a few others.

  • WHERE can i get the jacobs ladder score?

  • @Colegade When I was watching this movie I also recognized that Apoptygma Berzerk's had used samples from it in their song "Bitch" - the "Mayday! Mayday!" voice in the beginning, and the hospital worker screaming "Hey! Come back here!"

  • It was also used by Distance in the track Free Me.

  • I always wanted to use this as a sample for a song, then i heard "Free Me" by Distance and was like DAMN!!!

    but it is a tune so i'll let it slide lol

  • Progur
