This has me blubbering uncontrollably every time I watch it. I think it's the greatest final scene in movie history...but you have to watch the whole movie to appreciate it. Thanks for posting.
+Alex Colberg You're damn right you have to watch the whole movie or it wouldn't mean a thing. The townspeople cared so much they killed the boy and drug him around like animals. But where were they when the house was going to be taken by the bank? In white sheets, that's where.
+Darren Chapman Yes, the South was racist at that time. Not only were they taught incorrectly about black people, but they were bitter over losing the war and watching their economy plummet. The South is a much different place today, thank God.
merry clingen You are correct in everything you have said. I am proud to be a southerner and the south has grown and evolved so much in the last 50 years. People often criticize me for my love of the south. Others praise it. Sometimes some of these people are taken aback when I tell them that the old black man in overalls setting on his porch in his rocker, or the people from the church in Charleston where the people were gunned down-those represent to me what I love about the South as much as anything else. The rich music that blacks have given to our entire country-has influenced country and rock n roll to the point it would and could not be the same without that influence. I'm not on some race pandering crusade, I just want to be able to be proud of my southern culture without being labeled a racist. I give credit where credit is due. I am proud of my country and proud of my local culture as well.
In this ending seeing the Sheriff alive sitting next to the boy they had brutally beaten and dragged will always be a most powerful message. Glover and Fields should have both won at the Oscars
I"ll never understand how so many white evangelicals could vote for a blatant racist like Trump. If they're not hypocrites, then they must be people who can be bamboozled?
This was one of my Mom's favorite movies and she loved this scene the most. We had her funeral at her church yesterday and while at the service I could feel her presence as though she was sitting next to me. The picture you see next to my comment was one of the last I took. I love you momma forever and I will see you soon!
This is what Heaven will be like where we forgive unconditionally and we let the past remain in the past. God bless us all as we all fall short of the glory of God. That is why so many people don't believe because we live in a world of imperfection and we will die and go to a place of perfection. It's almost too good to be true but it IS true. This final scene of this movie is one of the greatest ever done by Hollywood where believing in God is not the norm.
This has always been one of my favorite movies. The ending is as powerful as any movie ever made. I wish that all the people in the world could love one another no matter what the color of their skin is. If all of us everywhere could do that what a truly wonderful world this would be. It's the way God intended things to be to begin with only sin got in the way. ✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️
One of my favourite movies of all time. The ending reminds me of so many families torn apart through human mistakes, some large, some small. However it is how we all wish we really were. More understanding and forgiving, how I wish my own family was. Watch the whole film. Brilliant.
Now that is what I call a "Curtin Call". Notice how this scene makes the viewer actually feel we know these characters so well. Very few Movies can do that.
This movie was hardly "entertaining" as It depicted the horrid side of humanity including a teenage boy being dragged to death behind a car. My wife and I endured this movie, just hoping that there would be some resolution. Near the end of the show all looked hopeless, half the characters were dead...and then came this final scene. Somehow everyone is alive again and sitting next to each other in their Sunday best at church. They were reverently and lovingly partaking of the sacrament together. Most of the movie was a horrible portrayal of ugliness, and yet it touched me so deeply that 30 plus years since watching it, when I recall this final scene I am still deeply moved. Watching it again on youtube made me cry again! For me it vividly portrays the healing power of the Atonement.
Then sir, I'm afraid you missed the point entirely. The ugliness and inhumanity portrayed in the film were realistic reflections of what goes on every day in life as man exists in a non-enlightened state. The message however is that love and living with kindness towards all is the calling to which we all must aspire. As the Buddha said "life is suffering" and without that we would never know the dark from the light.
Scott DeLong Humans at first had a life with no suffering and a choice of continuing living such a life. They knew perfectly well the "light" from the "dark" without even having to suffer dark things. We today do not have to know suffering to know what right things are.
Scott DeLong no need to dismiss the other poster’s point - he is correct regarding how the ugliness portrayed doesn’t make it an easy film to watch. Funny, we are discussing a movie about forgiveness and yet, petty arguments arise over peoples different opinions on a film. Humanity is something
The only thing keeping this scene from being absolutely perfect is they should've made Will (the blind man) made to see. As this scene portrays Everlasting Glory / Eternal Life, where all sin, all sickness, all evil will be no longer. But awesome and touching scene and movie. Grabs your soul no doubt.
That last scene is unforgettable I remember when my boys & I first saw it in the 80’s. It was my oldest son (Mabey 9) that pointed out to me that the whole Church was full at the end! We all cried. ✌️
I was greatly touched by this final scene in the movie. It was so real, having been in churches where we shared the Lord's Supper in this manner, with an old reverent hymn playing in the background. At times like this you feel so close to God, like Jesus is among us, as He promised. Soli Deo Gloria.
I saw this film in the theater when it was released in the early 80s and I recall being shocked and somewhat dumbfounded by this final scene as it took me a moment to "get it" but when I did it wrapped up the entire, very moving experience of this film so well. This story is one that is so common, of a brave woman who calls upon all she has to fill the role of sole parent due to the loss of her spouse. I cried like a baby then and did just now on how wonderful and fitting this final scene was
The homeless car lady, the country band, the girls from the dance, the banker, Mose, Edna's husband and Wiley were not really there. They were all people, living and dead, who had places in Edna's heart.
"Take and eat...for this is My body which is broken for thee. Take and drink...for this is My blood which I shed for thee." My God...how long it has been since those days when I, myself, used to wait on the Lord's Table and go to worship every Sunday morning during the entire span of my youth in the Church of Christ. It has been over 25 years...and seeing this and hearing this still...STILL...keeps an intense grip over my entire being. Makes my heart hurt so badly, somehow...makes me so sad and feel so lost.
This movie made 1984 back when i was born. But till today i cannot find this movie any more. Really want to watch it again. Because i watched this movie when i was so young.. 😭😭😭
I envy your earnest perspective. What I got from it was more hopelessness than hope. But sure, there is hope too. This contrast is just one of the things that made this movie so special.
This last scene is really powerful, "In a Perfect World" would Mose and Will be able to sit together in the church during this time period portrayed in the movie, "in a perfect world" would Wiley and the Sheriff be able to sit together and enjoy communion without any grudges.
The only thing they should've done different in the ending is the blind should've had sight. As this scene portrays Everlasting Glory where all transgressions and sickness is no longer.
Despite its Oscar success - this movie never got the full credit its deserved. Ed Harris, John Malkovich and Danny Glover have never been better - and film has two best kids performances you are ever likely to see. Final scene is just fitting and moving end to a wondeful film.
This is such a touching scene so real. I think its real in the church with the preacher .. and what a way to end the movie ..how beautiful ... I wish I could have been right in that life there
When I saw this movie in a theater I was not expecting this ending and it left me feeling stunned. I sat for a couple of extra minutes after the lights came on.
The scene is a powerful--extremely powerful--vision of the eschatological Christian idea of the final resurrection, of the "New Heaven and New Earth," when the Lion shall lie down with the Lamb, etc. It is a beautiful scene, one of the best ever on film; they should have had John Malkovich have his vision--that was a mistake that he was still blind. I'm not sure why they did that, as that does not make any sense at all. In the Christian idea, those infirmities--like those of racism, oppression, and hatreds--are all gone. So Malkovich should NOT have been blind. But it is still a powerful ending.
I agree with Michael. If Mr. Will would have had his sight in this scene it would have been more powerful than it already is. I just scratch my head and wonder why the director did not film it that way.
It's obvious that some of the people in this scene are present in the flesh, specifically those we see in the first few seconds when we get a view of the whole sanctuary, the preacher's eyeview so to speak. Mr.Will is clearly there sitting beside the two children. Later during the sacrament of communion we see others who cannot be present in the flesh such as the woman who was killed when her car was overturned and smashed in the tornado now alive in the spirit and Mose with the injuries he received in a vicious beating now healed. Lastly we see Sheriff Spalding and the young man who accidentally shot him together in perfect peace and forgiveness. A beautiful scene.
+New Jeffersonian Yes, this makes sense. Some are present in the flesh such as Mr.Will and still have all the infirmities of the flesh so he remains blind, while others are present in the spirit and have had their bodies renewed in spirit.
Saw this movie when I was young 30 years ago, had a dream about the song and remember the ending Only saw that movie one time but seeing the ending with the characters at the end especially the kid who shot the dad, still gave me chills watching it.... Great ending
If anyone wants to know the name of the hymn that is sung in this video clip it is called "In The Garden" and you can find videos of it here on youtube but its not as good as in this video
I was only 15 or 16 when i saw the movie...i didnt get that the part was a dream. I remember telling my friend that "i thought that he died at the beginning of the movie!"
Agreed. I also agree that this movies has one of the greatest endings of all movies. What I see it how it should be here on this earth. All of us standing together in love no matter our race, sex, color or religion. When we truly know God all of that comes into focus.
I never understood this ending…I see Ed Harris reconciling with his wife in the church with that hand gesture she did so I figured thats sweet…but then it does a weird twist and we see the dead husband and boy…why? what was the meaning of it? was it a flashback? Were they spirits? just weird ending.
We see a similar ending with the movie Titanic. You can interpret it several ways. Maybe this is all of them meeting in heaven after they have all died. Maybe this is a glimpse of how things should have gone. There is also a very old idea that we actually live in a different existence, which is much more real than the one we think we are in and that the lives that we are aware of are not actually real and are more like a story. The final scene could be the real existence. The philosopher Plato and the writer C.S. Lewis believed in this other reality.
1:05, suddenly the church congregation got bigger and more instruments and singers. The Lone Star Syrup Boys, the lady in her car, Moze, and of course, Edna's late husband and his killer appear (the limo driver in Die Hard).
A. There is no wanton nudity B. Where's the gore, Mr. Snore? C. Places in my ASS :P just joking (darkly) . It's too bad that only bad movies come out anymore
OK. I'm sorry I just don't get this scene. What it is supposed to convey? The whole movie was realistic involving racism, corruption, and the historical depression and suddenly we are supposed to shift into mysticism? I think this whole ending should have been edited out.
Theresa Draper The ending was the title of the movie, places in the heart. No matter what we've been through or who we've lost ,they're always with us ,in our hearts .
Theresa Draper The ending shows that there is a hope for the dead. Also that racism, prejudice and cruelty can be done away with and people can change. Others see the victims of the tornado that appeared as spirits. I did not.
I don't see what the big deal is about this last scene. So the 2 dead characters are back alive and in church.........I see no big deal in this.........just a fantasy ending is all. It didn't do a thing for me except end the movie.
Quite simply, one of the the greatest and most moving final scenes in motion picture history!
+88stanleyambrose So true. I still think about this scene and this movie. Great movie, touching.
Ditto
Yes, GREAT direction. fantastic!
Yes, I agree!!
Totally true! God Bless!

Amen!
In this ending seeing the Sheriff alive sitting next to the boy they had brutally beaten and dragged will always be a most powerful message. Glover and Fields should have both won at the Oscars
I always thought that was one of the most powerful closing scenes ever made.

This was one of my Mom's favorite movies and she loved this scene the most.

I love you momma forever and I will see you soon!
I would love to see that picture of you care to share. I'm sorry about your mom. Cannot imagine losing mine. She's 81.
Your mom was a man then? 😂🤣
According to your profile photo she was! 😳
I saw this in the theaters, back in 1984, and it is still one of the best closing scenes of any movie to ever come out of Hollywood!
Amen! 🙏
Glover should have gotten an Oscar nom. He was an unknown actor at the time. Such a powerful emotional performance. One of my fav. films.
U r right.
This is what Heaven will be like where we forgive unconditionally and we let the past remain in the past. God bless us all as we all fall short of the glory of God. That is why so many people don't believe because we live in a world of imperfection and we will die and go to a place of perfection. It's almost too good to be true but it IS true.

It's the way God intended things to be to begin with only sin got in the way. ✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️
Wonderful movie! I really hope they start making more like this.
This scene rips me apart every single time I watch it. So haunting and beautiful.
I have never forgotten this beautiful music. It has been an influence on my piano/organ playing ever since I heard it.
Mine too, years ago
I loved this movie, all through it and then, when it got to the end, it blew me away.
One of my favourite movies of all time. The ending reminds me of so many families torn apart through human mistakes, some large, some small. However it is how we all wish we really were. More understanding and forgiving, how I wish my own family was. Watch the whole film. Brilliant.
Now that is what I call a "Curtin Call". Notice how this scene makes the viewer actually feel we know these characters so well. Very few Movies can do that.
To this day, always gives me tears in my eyes and goosebumps. Beautiful scene of what can be with unconditional love and acceptance.

As this scene portrays Everlasting Glory / Eternal Life, where all sin, all sickness, all evil will be no longer. But awesome and touching scene and movie. Grabs your soul no doubt.
Then I'd REALLY be in tears.
Maybe they left him blind to show that some disabilities would be gradually cured.
TTundragrizzly Will is still living.
Disagree. It’s blind judgement. Seeing w/o bias.
That last scene is unforgettable I remember when my boys & I first saw it in the 80’s. It was my oldest son (Mabey 9) that pointed out to me that the whole Church was full at the end! We all cried. ✌️

They played this song at my grandmothers funeral today. I've watched it about a 100 times since & remembered this scene immediately.
The homeless car lady, the country band, the girls from the dance, the banker, Mose, Edna's husband and Wiley were not really there. They were all people, living and dead, who had places in Edna's heart.
This scene is so beautiful and powerful that it brings me to tears. Fantastic movie! ❤❤
i remember seeing this ---will always remember it.
Probably one of the finest scenes ever to grace a motion picture screen.
one of the most powerful scenes in movies. shows you what film makers can do.
Top three in my fave movies of all time..Without question.
it still holds up.
Agreed. This is a monumental moment in film.
In the beginning of the scene note the very many empty 'places' in the pews that are filled in the end of the scene.
Definitely most excellent--and a great film!
One of the most moving final scenes in film. ... those gone are there ... among places in the heart.
I had forgotten about the ending of this film until the choir started singing. Then the tears welled up. Such a beautiful thing.
"Take and eat...for this is My body which is broken for thee. Take and drink...for this is My blood which I shed for thee." My God...how long it has been since those days when I, myself, used to wait on the Lord's Table and go to worship every Sunday morning during the entire span of my youth in the Church of Christ. It has been over 25 years...and seeing this and hearing this still...STILL...keeps an intense grip over my entire being. Makes my heart hurt so badly, somehow...makes me so sad and feel so lost.
What kept you away for 25 years? Maybe God's calling you back.
Warren Eckels Agree :) this is the voice of the holy spirit :)
Why keep hurting? If you don't feel that the Church of Christ is the right place for you, then do research and find the right place for you.
Most beautiful
I like how the simple piano accompaniment at the beginning is an organ at the end.
This movie made 1984 back when i was born. But till today i cannot find this movie any more. Really want to watch it again. Because i watched this movie when i was so young.. 😭😭😭
Amazing cinematography by Nestor Almendros
Wonderful film. Best ending I have ever seen. I try to imagine Michael Brown and Officer Darrell Wilson. in that last scene. Gives one hope.
I envy your earnest perspective. What I got from it was more hopelessness than hope. But sure, there is hope too. This contrast is just one of the things that made this movie so special.
@@AlexColberg the ending shows what life could be like with kindness, compassion and understanding.
This last scene is really powerful, "In a Perfect World" would Mose and Will be able to sit together in the church during this time period portrayed in the movie, "in a perfect world" would Wiley and the Sheriff be able to sit together and enjoy communion without any grudges.

So clever ...
Just beautiful and warm

very sweet movie,
+Bill Stibbard and heartwrenching
Loved this ending. I cried.
Love, love, love this movie.
*One of the best scenes ever shot in history*
This scene is mystical. It shows the Communion of Saints.
The scene is a powerful--extremely powerful--vision of the eschatological Christian idea of the final resurrection, of the "New Heaven and New Earth," when the Lion shall lie down with the Lamb, etc. It is a beautiful scene, one of the best ever on film; they should have had John Malkovich have his vision--that was a mistake that he was still blind.

+New Jeffersonian
Yes, this makes sense. Some are present in the flesh such as Mr.Will and still have all the infirmities of the flesh so he remains blind, while others are present in the spirit and have had their bodies renewed in spirit.
I think it's a depiction of 'The Communion of Saints.' It's concept shared by most if not all Christian denominations. A powerful scene, at any rate.
Saw this movie when I was young 30 years ago, had a dream about the song and remember the ending Only saw that movie one time but seeing the ending with the characters at the end especially the kid who shot the dad, still gave me chills watching it.... Great ending
Where is this America I miss so much....So much hate today ..Lets just let things go without hate..........
One of my fev movie.
There's more people in the scene than you first see
You don't love Jesus for his image you love Him for His Spirit!
❤️
What a day that will be when we sit before God in heaven breaking bread
He Tells me I am His Own !
A REVELATION OF THE RICH MERCY OF GOD IN OF ALL PLACES HOLLYWOOD.
The sheriff is the only one who put his glass back in the tray
What a beautiful ending to a great movie .
If anyone wants to know the name of the hymn that is sung in this video clip it is called "In The Garden" and you can find videos of it here on youtube but its not as good as in this video
thank you❤
Totally awesome ending.
GIFT OF GOD
The homeless woman living in her car, killed in the tornado, is there too!
I was only 15 or 16 when i saw the movie...i didnt get that the part was a dream. I remember telling my friend that "i thought that he died at the beginning of the movie!"
And He Walks With Me And He Talks With Me And He Tells Me I Am His Own ….
Agree 100%
These people in this movie -that have done all manner of evil to one another - are none the less children of grace.
Agreed. I also agree that this movies has one of the greatest endings of all movies. What I see it how it should be here on this earth. All of us standing together in love no matter our race, sex, color or religion. When we truly know God all of that comes into focus.
I agree with you. We can only truly be united with the truth. And the truth is with God. So sayeth the lord.
I never understood this ending…I see Ed Harris reconciling with his wife in the church with that hand gesture she did so I figured thats sweet…but then it does a weird twist and we see the dead husband and boy…why? what was the meaning of it? was it a flashback? Were they spirits? just weird ending.
We see a similar ending with the movie Titanic. You can interpret it several ways. Maybe this is all of them meeting in heaven after they have all died. Maybe this is a glimpse of how things should have gone. There is also a very old idea that we actually live in a different existence, which is much more real than the one we think we are in and that the lives that we are aware of are not actually real and are more like a story. The final scene could be the real existence. The philosopher Plato and the writer C.S. Lewis believed in this other reality.
i meet the blond girl in the front row , she was from Terrell Texas
1:05, suddenly the church congregation got bigger and more instruments and singers. The Lone Star Syrup Boys, the lady in her car, Moze, and of course, Edna's late husband and his killer appear (the limo driver in Die Hard).
Argyle!
very true
This ending and the one to Les Miserables always gets me😐
Tim Keller brought me here.
Como la tradusco
Funny way to take communion :-)
I was raised in a Presbyterian church and communion was always done this way
@beverlyperry5591 Me too. I was raised Presbyterian and this is how we did it.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8 is the reading being given
was this in a Disciples of Christ Church?
i live in the town where this was filmed and im an christian.
+Osvaldo Orduno shut up big mouth
+braden lawhead like I don't get why you said and I'm a Christian haha
braden lawhead You are a Christian? If you are then you are a very immature one. Christians do not tell others to shut up or call them names.
Are you joking?I can say whatever I want but I will never let a cursed word slip out of my mouth even in text.
I bet our names are still carved into the back of the pew in front of us. 2:24
A. There is no wanton nudity
B. Where's the gore, Mr. Snore?
C. Places in my ASS
:P just joking (darkly) . It's too bad that only bad movies come out anymore
OK. I'm sorry I just don't get this scene. What it is supposed to convey? The whole movie was realistic involving racism, corruption, and the historical depression and suddenly we are supposed to shift into mysticism? I think this whole ending should have been edited out.
Theresa Draper The ending was the title of the movie, places in the heart. No matter what we've been through or who we've lost ,they're always with us ,in our hearts .
Theresa Draper The ending shows that there is a hope for the dead. Also that racism, prejudice and cruelty can be done away with and people can change. Others see the victims of the tornado that appeared as spirits. I did not.
The ending shows you how things SHOULD be. And how they would be if there was a god or perhaps a heaven.
Joseph Dennison - Exactly, well said.
Nova Lena or if people could just learn to get along. Not such a far-fetched concept.
I don't see what the big deal is about this last scene. So the 2 dead characters are back alive and in church.........I see no big deal in this.........just a fantasy ending is all. It didn't do a thing for me except end the movie.
Then go watch Star Wars.
You don't, but other people do. There are different kinds of people in the world and some people can see things that other people cannot see.
