I love this movie and heath absolutely killed it as Skip, but I wouldn’t fight the Joker as being his best role because he was legendary as that and shocked everybody
Definitely bro, probably my favorite scene in the movie, I'm not even into old music but I listen to this song every now and then while I'm doing auto body work. Makes me feel like skip
RoRo Hennyman This is the best scene of the movie. It's so sad and gripping how much Skip fell. He basically made skateboarding a thing, and he's working for somebody else at the end of the film.
@@TranzparentMethods I always saw it a little differently. Yes it definitely captures his fall from grace and you can tell he is well aware of it. Yet there seems to be a calm, simple satisfaction to him when he turns up the tune, takes a sip and starts sanding the board/singing along. He seems content despite his new position in life.
@Evan I understand exactly what you're saying, right now I'm in a point in my life where everything in my past made me hate all that I did. My job, my gfs, my friends, all of it made me a person I hated. Right now I'm a line cook in a nice kitchen; although it's not where I want to stay for the rest of my life. This moment I am at peace.
This scene is so haunting yet captivating. MR. Ledger’s talent was immeasurable. We see a “defeated” Skip having to become the employee, but still having a little bit of the rascal with some whiskey and groovin’ to Maggie May.
It was actually Heath’s idea to use Maggie May play in this scene, brilliant choice in my opinion. He was so amazing and talented, crazy to think he was only 25 when he played Skip. RIP beautiful, we all miss you down here🖤
Hey does anybody notice skip boss is the same guy that skip kicked out of his old shop after he didn't have any money to browse.. oh how the tables have turned LOL
Such a wild scene. Owned the shop. Made skateboarding a thing basically. And then loses everything works in the back of the shop and the dude he kicked out of his shop in the beginning is his new boss. But now he’s finally just living life instead of wanting the world.
“bittersweet” We feel bad for Skip because he’s clearly fallen on hard times. He seems to have lost his “friends”, his shop, his dreams and now he’s using alcohol to numb the pain of it all. He played a hand to win big at something and to acquire wealth and high status and he lost. He lost big time...But...he still knows what makes a good board! And he doesn’t have to live a useless life. There’s meaning and purpose that can be found in that. Because he still has an appreciation for surfing and music and maybe that’s all he needs to get by. Just living one day at a time and being in service to others. It’s a beautiful yet sad sight to see. But there’s a lot worse ways to live....
I watched this movie because it came in a bundle deal when I bought the first ever PSP. don't regret watching it. I loved it so much, heath ledger is the goat for this movie. I was barely a young teen and now im 28. I feel like watching it again now
Man, this sums up everything right here. You can feel the emotions that he thinks he is a failure, and then turns up the volume and just keeps on trucking
That moment when you accept that a wild chapter in your life has come to an end and that, despite the pain and longing for what was, it's time to move on.
A pretty sad but amazing scene. You can argue skip was The Godfather of skating, got all these guys together, started the team and they all left him behind to chase their own glory. Skip was broken but somehow managed to continue doing what he loved and that was working in a surf shop.
You can feel his characters emotional pain, and the song adds a unique essence to this scene. Top quality acting, the way he stares at the liquor bottle and lets out that short breath of sorrow, and disgust. before he takes a drink.
Me and my oldest brother grew up Skating and Surfing and when he heard about me and my Ex wife’s breakup he knew things would be rough for me but he knew I had that mentality of finding peace In staying busy like Heath did In this scene. He got emotional and called me and said Bro you got this. I’ll never forget that call and years later as I was his best man in his wedding Maggie May jammed and we had that moment he spoke about
Is it me? But did any of yall ever noticed how the store employer was the same guy that Skip kicked out of his own same store, a few years ago, at the beginning of the film?
Skip made peace with his former self & move on with his life until sometime in the 80s where he was approached by Natas Kaupas. Heath perfectly portrayed Skip in this scene. Gone way too soon. #RIPHeath
born in 2003, movie came out in 2005. I didn’t watch it until I was a little much older but this movie touched my heart. It inspired me to start skating. My favorite character was always Jay boy Adams. my favorite scene was when they were at a gas station and Jay gets some cheese fries, puts it next to some dudes car and proceeds to jump on it from a ledge making the cheese explode all over the car.
One of my favorite scenes of all time. You think Skip has hit rock bottom, but then he turns up the radio and starts doing what he loves. Like it was where he was always supposed to be.
I get chills everytime I see the end of this movie an absolute gem almost get tears when I see Heath he was literally in his element in this movie just amazing job thank you for this film
My brother is step brother is a surfboard shaper he's specialty are long boards. Because of him we got to go to the quicksilver house on the north shore best thanksgiving i ever had.
Damn since seeing this back in the day during middle school till now, has always stuck. Whenever I drink I always thought I should be back in school. I used to see myself in his shoes just as he does in this scene. Fucking reality bites.
What a great moment of reflection for heaths character. The ability to go from somber to enthusiastic is a great representation that life will keep going and it takes you to be content
@@dayra6425 but he was great in everything regardless of how movies turned out to be. Not 3 or 4 but I give you minimum 7. And that too in order 1 The Dark Knight 2 Brokeback Mountain 3 Monster's Ball 4 Lords of Dogtown 5 Ned Kelly 6 Candy 7 Two Hands Bonus for you: 8 I'm Not There 9 The Four Feathers 10 The Patriot. And if you have seen all these 10 Films, then you will never say he was in 2 or 3 good films ever again. Because all these are Very Good to Great Films.
@@Billie0708 maybe the bar is set low .. just cuz he was in a movie doesn’t mean he was great in it .. I’ll give u the first 3 and maybe lords of dog town ..but patriot?
@@dayra6425 lol. Have you seen Monster's Ball , Ned Kelly , Candy and Two Hands ? Even Daniel Day Lewis dedicated his There Will Be Blood SAG Best Actor award to Heath Ledger even before the Dark Knight was released and called his Performance in Monster's Ball as Unique and Perfect. Ang Lee said Heath Ledger stole the show in Monster's Ball and that performance is the reason why he cast him in Brokeback Mountain. Two hand is regarded as the Goodfellas of Australian Film and Candy and I'm not there are among Heath Ledger's Finest Work. And No Actor under the age of 30 has given these amount of quality work and Two Career And Legacy defining performances in Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight which are Arguably among the Greatest Single Acting Performances in History. So do your study before you speak.
I know Skip had he's flaws but honestly he deserved so much more! He and he's crew the zypher store started them and when the money finally came they bailed on him they could've at least skated a year and help Skip get he's store thriving and then gone their own way.
I read somewhere that Heath was scripted to sing a different song in the movie and he refused, stated he felt stupid and couldnt sing.. He later suggested to the director that he be allowed to sing "Maggie May", and he agreed.
I learned this song from this movie when I was like 8 and was so mad that my mom or dad had yet to play such a great song by Rod Stewart that they knew I would love LMAO
Every heath ledger movie is a gold one!!!too bad he left the world so early!! This movie changed my boredome to awesome!!! I keep collecting CDs of heaths movies,I was so saddened by his passing but prefer to keep his MEMRIES alive n kickin'!!
It's funny when I was younger I saw this guy as a businessman trying to stand in the way of the kids success and fame for his own interests. Now that I'm older I see it as a man trying his best to hold together a family of people and watching it slowly disintegrate because of massive external forces. Then Stacy went on to face the same thing in his company when the bones brigade guys wanted to do their own thing, kinda poetic. It's sad in a way because Zephyr could have been the Man Utd of skateboarding but as Jay said in that pier scene "he had to pay the rent". In a funny way, Jay's attitude with change is something I struggled with so much when I was younger. But like Skip says to Jay "hey, your momma - she has to eat right?", that's so mature. It's something I could just never come to terms with, that the world just has to go in a direction sometimes, even if it sucks, even if it's a bad direction, it's just the way it has to be. It's like a huge wave coming at you and you're asking politely for that wave to turn around. It just can't. I hated things changing, I hated people changing, I hated the world changing, I couldn't deal with something I loved coming to an end. I kept and sometimes keep catching myself trying to hang on to things the way they were at a point in time. The maturity here is that Skip sees all that and he realizes he gave it his best shot at keeping it together, but regardless of all that he can still remain true to himself. He can still make surfboards he can still be who he is even if the world around him changes. You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept it. That took me so long to realize, is that the change around you is as inevitable as the wind, but you can always still be you. The real victory for all these guys, is that they're still skateboarders/surfers. Even if they're 80, pushing a board along at 1mph, that's still such a monumental victory when you think about it. That in a world that wants you to be a certain way, you can still hold onto something. That's what life is, living who you are. Some of us get to pass that on in a literal sense with kids, but in a way these guys passed all of what they are along with the worldwide success of skateboarding. It's like a lineage of life, culture and ideas. Like the first Hawaiian tribes that surfed, those surfers probably never imagined that like hundreds of years later people all over the world would surf. If they never did, who's to say we ever would've. We never would've gotten skateboarding. Without skateboarding so much would be different culturally. It all becomes ripples man. The thing is, you don't even have to be a rockstar or famous or even have the ideas. Just being you and coming together with other people can be enough. I feel bad for people trying to be something other than themselves, you see people wrapped up in politics, in their image, in drugs or alcohol and you realize how unhappy they are. Their wins don't fulfil them, their losses are a crisis, it all becomes a frail house of cards. Meanwhile when Skip finished this board, even if it was a shit day, a part of him still felt good about it. Not because it was perfect, not because it was done, not because it was soothing or something, but because he did it. He did something, in spite of the chaos in the world around him. For anyone reading this that needs to hear this, just be here. Even if it sucks. Don't fight the world and just do your thing, it's enough.
I’ve watched this scene a lot, I guess it’s kinda saying don’t take shit for granted, the same guy he was an asshole to and kicked out of the shop ends up owning the shop and being his boss, I think it’s the best clip from this movie
Some of the most talented people don't have what less talented people have that make those less talented people successful. That was a mouthful. i didn't think this scene was sad at all...sure, he works for the kook but he seems at peace and although he's drinking it seems like one of those "pour the bottle down the drain" scenes. Of course, I know the real Skip's story so I know this wasn't the end...
Forget the Joker, this was Heath Ledger's best role. This whole film was cast brilliantly.
Fuck yeah skate on brother!
Es cierto, este rol de Heath fue épico, una de sus mejores actuaciones 👍
Agreed!! Loooove this movie
Hell yeah
I love this movie and heath absolutely killed it as Skip, but I wouldn’t fight the Joker as being his best role because he was legendary as that and shocked everybody
26 now, saw this movie when I was 14. This is one of those scenes that resonates with you even if youre too young to understand why yet.
Now were all skips age, a weird feeling
@@j-5087 so true dude
Hits completely hard doing whatever you wanna do till things go left and gotta roll with the motions
Does anybody else just enjoy this scene as much as I do?
Yes.
I love it!
My favourite moment of the movie!
yah sah'
Definitely bro, probably my favorite scene in the movie, I'm not even into old music but I listen to this song every now and then while I'm doing auto body work. Makes me feel like skip
this scene just breaks my heart that Heath is a damn good actor
As an alcoholic I can relate so hard to that pause when he looks at the whiskey bottle for a second then thinks "fuck it, i'll stop drinking tomorrow"
Keep yo head up
Me too.
Yeah, me too. I feel that
That wasn't an alcoholics pull. I see it as more him accepting what his life has become
@@Chris-lv2wq Exactly, imagine how he feels. Working in that same shop but not owning it anymore and he has a boss now.
The war with himself has come to an end and he's just living now. One of my favorite films. "They wanted it gone man, they wanted it gone".
They had it to themselves tho.
@@cameronhubbard415 yea.. we had it all to ourselves.
@@joshuaa1605 all to ourselves.

Is there an article about it? I've tried finding something about this scene! I love it
Good song for this scene, maybe it got used because it was in the documentary " Dogtown and Z boys", nonetheless it was a good choice
Maggie May wad in the Z Boys documentary also!
Grateful for this scene. Introduced me to Maggie May.
Listen to "Wear it Well" by Rod. Very similar, but I think it's better. Rod Stewart is the man.
@@Frankybroadcast I was gonna say the same thing Rod Stewart is the man!
Me too!
“True blue” is another fantastic Rod tune
Same 😌
Hey does anybody notice skip boss is the same guy that skip kicked out of his old shop after he didn't have any money to browse.. oh how the tables have turned LOL
Frank Martinez yeah that’s a good foreshadow, he said he was just browsing when he was there, probably was planning it from the beginning.
Frank Martinez , never noticed until now and I’ve watched this movie countless times, damn.
wowwww I never noticed that!!
Yep. Karma at its finest.
lol yup that what skip gets for being a dick to people.
Such a wild scene. Owned the shop. Made skateboarding a thing basically. And then loses everything works in the back of the shop and the dude he kicked out of his shop in the beginning is his new boss. But now he’s finally just living life instead of wanting the world.
And a few years later a kid named Natas Kaupas found him and made him famous again.
Never noticed that was the guy he kicked out in the beginning of the movie. Dope observation. 😎
Good on the guy he kicked out giving him a job tbh tho.Could have rubbed it in his face but didn't.
And the door that was always broken was nów fixed.
The only time we may get perspective in this life is if we lose everything.
“bittersweet”
We feel bad for Skip because he’s clearly fallen on hard times. He seems to have lost his “friends”, his shop, his dreams and now he’s using alcohol to numb the pain of it all.

we all go a little skip sometimes
Recall the earlier white-overalls "Yeah, uh, thanks for fixing the door, man" scene. That broken door now opens here.
I watched this movie because it came in a bundle deal when I bought the first ever PSP. don't regret watching it. I loved it so much, heath ledger is the goat for this movie. I was barely a young teen and now im 28. I feel like watching it again now
Same, I’m 28 now too and remember this movie when I was a kid. For me, this movie gets better and better the older I get
Holy shit !! Yes same
Damn you had it for psp!! THAT is gem 💎
Same. It instantly became my favorite movie
I was actually impressed with the acting of all those younger dudes. Never heard of them, and they all crushed it. Great casting.
Man, this sums up everything right here. You can feel the emotions that he thinks he is a failure, and then turns up the volume and just keeps on trucking
I feel that.
Some of the most natural acting you will ever see. This is what they mean when they say an actor “sleepwalks” through a role.
That moment when you accept that a wild chapter in your life has come to an end and that, despite the pain and longing for what was, it's time to move on.
💯
going on 3 years of being sober i could very much relate to this. thank you 😔💯
How the hell did I wind up in Arkansas,
Wish I wasn't feeling something like that today
When you're left alone with your mind and bottle of whiskey. It comes sooner or later

And then hesitates as he's about to take a second and then puts the bottle down
......Long after the thrill of living is gone.......
Always loved this scene. “Skip” coming to terms with his life decisions but how Heath portrays its without saying a word is flawless acting.
Sometimes ending up back where u started is a win within itself.. I feel like this scene reflects that
From owning the surf skate shop to working in the back of the surf skate shop
Mike Hawk from having the Zephyr boys to not
Mike Hawk from loving what he did to hating it.
Plus, his current boss is the same guy he kicked out of the shop in one of the first scenes of the movie.

born in 2003, movie came out in 2005. I didn’t watch it until I was a little much older but this movie touched my heart. It inspired me to start skating. My favorite character was always Jay boy Adams. my favorite scene was when they were at a gas station and Jay gets some cheese fries, puts it next to some dudes car and proceeds to jump on it from a ledge making the cheese explode all over the car.
One of my favorite scenes of all time. You think Skip has hit rock bottom, but then he turns up the radio and starts doing what he loves. Like it was where he was always supposed to be.
But in real life he got a high flying sales director position with a company and flew out to Hawaii on the regular to surf
I always thought that this was one of his finest scenes.
I get chills everytime I see the end of this movie an absolute gem almost get tears when I see Heath he was literally in his element in this movie just amazing job thank you for this film
That sip of whiskey was Skip wishing he never disrespected Stacy.
I just love this scene. Means to me that everyman have to do
It wasn’t just acting it’s the feeling of the character he had
My brother is step brother is a surfboard shaper he's specialty are long boards. Because of him we got to go to the quicksilver house on the north shore best thanksgiving i ever had.
I love singing Maggie May knowing Heath did, he's the Greatest of all time
Beautiful 💕 love his voice
One of my favorite scenes 🖤 RIP heath ledger
2023 & it’s still one of the best movies😍

Revisiting this now at Skip's age or (Heath Ledger's) at the time, is strange to say the least but man this film has a special place in my heart.
I learned this song from this movie when I was like 8 and was so mad that my mom or dad had yet to play such a great song by Rod Stewart that they knew I would love LMAO
One of my favorite scenes. Skip/Heath just getting on with it. Past the bullshit. Such a great fkn actor. Loved him in this movie.
Why I was just a kid this was just a fun film about skateboarding. Now that I'm older I realize this movie and this scene is all about life.
めっちゃ好きなシーン
I wanna hear Heath sing the whole song 😢
Every heath ledger movie is a gold one!!!too bad he left the world so early!!
This movie changed my boredome to awesome!!!
I keep collecting CDs of heaths movies,I was so saddened by his passing but prefer to keep his MEMRIES alive n kickin'!!
I remember to Heath more for this legendary movie than his others. Skip never gonna die.
It's funny when I was younger I saw this guy as a businessman trying to stand in the way of the kids success and fame for his own interests.

Heath was a very talented actor.
Underrated movie, and this is the best scene by far.
1:03 - the scene every alcoholic recognizes...
Love this scene! Love this song!
Ahh nostalgia
Damnit Heath!!! Too good my friend. Too good ❤❤❤
Such an amazing artist
I dont think I've ever seen a more relatable scene.
He got one line but so much was said
Love Heath. Can’t hear Maggie May without seeing him.
Great song feel him taking the shot at the end God bless
I dont think he cared about the money, but just wanted to have fun
Money somehow always finds a way to ruin relationships
I can not hear this song without thinking about every thing about this scene. Absolute perfection in every way.
When Skip hears that song, he knows it's time to get back on the clock.
My all time favorite Heath Ledger scene
Most Beautiful scenes ever.
I was thirteen when my godfather got me a board and this movie for my birthday. Never got out of the board ever since.
I’ve watched this scene a lot, I guess it’s kinda saying don’t take shit for granted, the same guy he was an asshole to and kicked out of the shop ends up owning the shop and being his boss, I think it’s the best clip from this movie
Too soon, too soon RIP, and River Phoenix as well.
Poor Skip. Reduced to a worker in his old shop, while the Vals run the front.
The table has turned. At the beginning of the movie he told a guy to get the fuck out cuz it’s $10/browse, that guy is this new owner.
Such a powerfull scene!!!!!
This scene makes me smile
He really was the real deal. Phenomenal actor
I swear we all got a little skip in us while on the job. I be taking a few swigs of the bottle too just getting what gotta be done.
Can't take a drink alone without hearing wake up Maggie .....
Heath miss you boy!!!♥️
Rod for ever like you!
This flim has amazing songs
Skip is a worker he never give up
This is how I choose to remember heath ledger.
Some of the most talented people don't have what less talented people have that make those less talented people successful. That was a mouthful. i didn't think this scene was sad at all...sure, he works for the kook but he seems at peace and although he's drinking it seems like one of those "pour the bottle down the drain" scenes. Of course, I know the real Skip's story so I know this wasn't the end...
My favorite movie i was a dogtown when i was young
is the boss/owner of the shop the same guy skip kicks out of his shop when the dude comes in with the wheels?
Have to admit though. Skip was a damn good worker.
