This scene breaks my heart & makes me weep every time I view it, but in good ways. I don't think the love of a man for a woman has ever been before - or since been expressed so precisely. His pain of a her love not returned; her understanding of that & how she lost him twice. It's good to know such beauty & art like this will never fade. Pity those who view this & 'don't get it'.

But society wont get it. Its long gone. To the nitwits its quite simple: Why become a fine actor, when you can become a crappy actor and star in a "reality show" and earn a good living. Face it..... its over. All you can do is mourn. Great actors are dying out.

"You knew they were your tears."
"The blood was his."
Oh man doesn't this scene just rip your heart out.

The script writer should be rewarded not with an Oscar or any tangible award, but with immortality.

"No, but that is not in the story. When beauty says "I love you" to the beast all his ugliness changed and dissolved like magic but you see I am still the same."

@dravox Ah that makes sense. Thank you good sir. I just learned a new word.

@screaminghellion: "riven" away. Meaning "torn" or "ripped" away.

It is interesting to compare this version to the French 1990 (can be found on YT under the title "Cyrano De Bergerac (1990) Cyrano's Death scene French with Engish subs").

Dam this movie gets me all the time. One of the greatest plays/movie ever told
Ferrer is Cyrano. This is the saddest story ever told.
