The directing and camera work in this scene just phenomenonal. The shots of Tom, Annette, Kristin, Michael, Erica, Alison - Jon Glover prowling like a wolf, the ashes falling...
Yeah, I was gonna say just noticed Lionel preying on Martha. So creepy. Jonathan just passed n hes already trying. Hated how she started hanging out with him soon after. Made my opinion of her go down a lot. Agreed with Clark on red k "Dads not even gone a year and...
This is such a powerful scene. So sad each time I watch it.But the one thing I love about it is that even though Clark and Lex had conflict with one another, Lex still had enough respect for Jonathan to show up at his funeral and pay his respects.
Clark would later "repay" the respect by attending the funeral ceremony of Lionel Luthor. It looked to be a private ceremony, family only, as only Lex was present... Lex however says nothing as Clark stands there with him because deep down Clark is the closest thing he has to a brother.
Dylan Alexander well in the cw shows they bring back this version of superman and he isn’t Superman anymore he is human because of gold kryptonite. He is married to Louis Lane and has two kids in that universe.
@@kevsdigitalartsmore3743 indeed he doesnt have his powers but it wasnt specified if it was gold kryptonite or blue. but yes in the meantime while his powers are inactive he will age again
Its was hard to move on after jonathan kent, what a beautifull funeral, all the characters, the snow, the soundtrack. Love Smallville and always will.❤️
And in the new Supergirl trailer, Cat grant said Women are more powerful because they allow themselves to be vulnerable to emotions. Clearly the writers of Supergirl have never watched Smallville. Smallville explored lots of Superman's vulnerabilities and emotions. And has more depth than Supergirl's show ever did.
All those shows miss the mark with putting heart into it. Rewatching some scenes reminded why this is my favorite Clark, Jonathan, Lex and many more. Saw a little bit of Green Arrow years ago and Smallvilles version is so much better for me bc he has heart and a personality. The characters in these newer superhero shows are so bland-no personality.
This scene and song were both vivid in my mind during my grandfather’s funeral. I used it to rationalize and relate to my pain. I was closer to him than most and I ended up being the last one to leave his grave. He was a better man than any father I had and I felt like I lost my compass. I still feel that way 4 years later.
Always such an incredible scene. Both so beautiful and sad at the same time. The cinematography and score just add so much to it. And how everyone especially Clark is feeling. There is so much heart in the scene, which is shown with the acting: how Lana takes Clark's hand for comfort, looking at him, wanting to be there for him. Chloe and Lois looking back at him, feeling for him. Lex standing off in the distance watching Clark, also I believe feeling for him as well. Also really loved that Lex came, which shows deep down that though they may now be frenemies of sorts, Lex still cares for Clark and wants to be there to comfort him and show respect to Jonathon. Lionel walking up behind Martha, is also about wanting to comfort her in her time of loss. And finally, Clark sprinkling the clump of dirt on the coffin. His way of both saying goodbye and accepting his father's death. Overall, one of the best heartfelt scenes of the entire series.😀🙏
I've carried 4 coffins from 2005-2015 it never got easier saying goodbye to my family,only harder each time they were lowered into the ground,my mother died 8 days before my 4th birthday.I would have gladly carried her coffin with honor,but for obvious reasons I could not.I miss my Mother,Brother,Grandma and Grandpa,and my cousin so very much,but I truly believe in my heart I will see them again.
even though they were now enemies (or frienamies) I think it's touching that although Lex wasn't up front and center at the funeral (for obvious reasons) he still showed up. I think he was showing respect for the friendship they had (past tense) as well as for the Kent family overall.
@@tanicathornton8249 Lionel obviously didn't mean to be the cause of it. In spite of everything, he actually really respected Jonathan. He went there that night when the intention of being Jonathan's ally, but it was taken the wrong way. That's what caused the whole thing.
Yeah, that was clearly the whole thing they were going g for here. And that's a typical almost cliche hero trope. Has to lose someone to become the hero he's meant to be.
This episode made me cry to know how much Clark loves his father n now he has to face the challenges the world has to offer without any advices from him
It snowed a bunch of times. I think it snowed in Lexmas and Trespass and definitely snowed in Upgrade over Seattle when Clark & Zod made it snow. And in Cool there was snow & ice already on the ground (the lake was frozen).
Watching this scene and listening to the lyrics, i looked over to my husband. Tears in his eyes as he quietly cried out for his Dad. The line-- Its so hard to move on...still loving whats gone...still life carries on. You have my condolences ❤
It was the visual of stories represented in the song. Lionel/Martha Chloe/Lana/Lois...dont come close to matching Clark/Lex. You could see Lex was grieving. Not just for his once close friend but for the father he saw in John. The family he wished he could've been part of. The glue of that family was gone and buried. Taking that last tiny glimmer of hope with him.
Welling had a really tough role, the more I think about it. As I watch these clips I can see that when He played an evil version of Clark he would put a little more emotion into the role and he was very compelling in those roles, but as Clark he had to always be a little bit more reserved, and I think that's why people sometimes say he was flat as ana actor. I don't think it was his acting, it was the direction of the character.
He is not flat. He is humble and content. Just like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. They walk with zero pride whatsoever with their power, they have reservation from the pain they have witnessed and it only left them with humility. This character is also similar to Peter Krause in 911 show. The lead of an emergency savior should be charming and content. They rarely use so much emotion behind their delivery. Unlike Cavill walking with so much arrogance, anger, anxiousness and rapey eyes in his Supersuit
I don't think he was flat at all. He shows plenty of emotion. Here he's trying to hold it back or just feels numb but int he next episode when he comes home and sees his mom watching the home video he breaks down crying. I agree with the other reply he's humble so he's not really boisterous or anything. And he was really good at giving expressions or uskg his eyes to say more than words could.
My father passed away one year ago without any warning or symptoms of anything at 69. Since then I have managed to get by and live a good life now that I have a daughter but I am currently binging Smallville on dvd and just saw this episode. Complete relapse. Broke the fuck down.
He did change the world. He raised Clark. Clark became the man he is thanks to Jonathan. Smallville made it extremely obvious Clark took after Jonathan stressing and blaming himself for things he can't control and I love it. Jordan El may have been his biological father but Jonathan was his dad.
Damn seeing Clark put that necklace on his mother in the absence of Jonathan, crazy emotional even though I never had a father and my mother passed when I was a baby. Good scene.
Ppl commenting saying this is sad when I find it beautiful 😪 Clark refused to live his destiny which causes the universe to shift in order to make its balance. We all do this as humans our free will is our weakness bc none of us listen

Damn, I'm guessing he pissed you off a lot but the love was overwhelming. The pain of loss. But in the end every man would rather die than to live without his wife
The whole scene was sad, but for some reason, I find the scenery from 0:48 and a little bit afterwards peaceful, just watching the snow fall and the sheep's run about in it, that was again, quite peaceful 😍 Ps: Yes, I know, this is a late one by many years, but don't worry, I did watch Smallville when I was younger and I still love the show
I remember in jr high and my friend Emily who loved this show saw this episode and the next day came school dressed all in black and was morning his loss
I love Lana Lang(Kristen Kreuk) of Smallville series,she is beautiful sometimes I feel like "I want SMALLVILLE's Lana Lang to be my mom." That's how it is in my fantasy. When I listen to this song it reminds me of Smallville's Lana Lang(Kristen Kreuk.) And how Smallville series was.😭😭😭😭😭
It broke my heart when Jonathan passed away. Why did John Schneider have to leave the series? I really thought they were passed either of the Kent's dying.
Clark did pay a whole lot for that decision. A father for a lover? He could never really choose but for a relationship already so tainted, it has to be devastating. And then how you look at your mother suffering bc she lost the love of her life bc you wanted to keep yours? Even if she doesn’t blame you.
I almost cry at this scene because it reminds of my grandfather because he passed away about four years ago I can't take it anymore that he's not around with me and my family anymore and in Mexico anymore either. And now my godmother just passed away at the beginning of this year on January she was the most important to me because I was her only godson that she ever loved, now it's making me to think or I'm telling myself that I wish I can just kill myself or commit suicide because I can't stand it anymore of all of the death and passing away and I don't know why it had to be me and my family it's almost like now I'm losing everybody I know in my family and everyone in my life one by one and the world is now turning into a nightmare meaning like were all in Hell and I don't know why it had to be this way, I also kinda wish that my mom would had some home videos of me and my grandfather and godmother only that way she can show the rest of my family of what I did with my grandfather and godmother when I was a little bit younger.
I HATE Clark , for he does nothing to treat his father's heart while Jon loves him so much. He can treat Jon's heart easily like Lionel's liver; however, he only keeps talking but not acting to save his dad. More importantly, when something terrible happens, the stupid son always thinks of Lana first. For example, when the space ship wants to harm the people he loves, Lana's safety is his priority( her image appears first) even though they are still not lovers.
13 years later and this scene still makes me cry like a little baby.
I understand. It's so sad.
Agreed
Every time I watch this scene I cry. We miss you Mom and Dad and love you so much. Rest in peace.
Nothing is so sad like to lost your father when you are young... i don't wanna think about it
How did he die
Lex to Clark "when my Father dies, kings will come to his funeral. When yours dies, his friends will come"

One of my favorite scenes in probably the history of TV. Which is funny since no words were exchanged.
Wow you read my mind. Couldn’t agree more.
One by one they walk away, until Clark is alone in the cemetery. Isn't that his curse? He will outlive everyone he loves.
that's deep. I never realized that
Depends on which version of Superman sometimes Superman dies before all he loves other times he outlives then due to ageing slower on earth.

I even cried at this moment.... This was so hard
Even after all these years I'm still crying like a baby watching this scene.
One of the saddest episodes of Smallville.
The music, the acting, the scenery......This ENTIRE scene had me all up in my feels

Wow so sad 😞
I cried so much, watching this episode.
Goodbye, Mr. Kent. 😢
lets be honest..this episode was the most emotionally brutal episode of the entire series.
even though they were now enemies (or frienamies) I think it's touching that although Lex wasn't up front and center at the funeral (for obvious reasons) he still showed up. I think he was showing respect for the friendship they had (past tense) as well as for the Kent family overall.
I think there was also a part of Lex that wished Jonathan Kent was HIS father so, so badly.
ElvenRaptor beautiful, and I agree. A modern day tragedy. I felt for lex a lot in the show, they accomplished that.
ElvenRaptor exactly, Lex envied Clark and wished he had Clark’s parents and loyal girlfriend (Lana)
Lionel showing up when he was the cause of it 🤬
@@tanicathornton8249 Lionel obviously didn't mean to be the cause of it. In spite of everything, he actually really respected Jonathan. He went there that night when the intention of being Jonathan's ally, but it was taken the wrong way. That's what caused the whole thing.
Wow I forgot just how sad this scene was!
I hope those 2 dislikes are only because they hate how such a good person like Jonathan Kent ended up dying... ;( :(
Soo sad. I love smallville. I've got DVDs already I could watch them all over again.
This is my absolute favorite scene from this show
Great tribute, to a great dad👏😢🙏
Loss builds character. It gives you a lot of grief but ultimately makes you stronger.
Yeah, that was clearly the whole thing they were going g for here. And that's a typical almost cliche hero trope. Has to lose someone to become the hero he's meant to be.
Or destroys you Forever.
I like smallville
I love smallville
This episode made me cry to know how much Clark loves his father n now he has to face the challenges the world has to offer without any advices from him
"All those things I could do. All those powers. And I couldn't even save him".
- Kal -El/Clark Kent
Superman The Movie (1978)
Favorite scene ever. Ever. The writers managed to include every major character in this one scene.
Honest to god this still makes me cry
The angel behind Clark represents a moment in time when he could've lost his way... His guide... His true north to become Superman
Only time it snowed on the show.
It snowed a bunch of times. I think it snowed in Lexmas and Trespass and definitely snowed in Upgrade over Seattle when Clark & Zod made it snow. And in Cool there was snow & ice already on the ground (the lake was frozen).
Not true it snowed in that episode where Lex was shot and dreamt he was married to Lana
To this day this bursts me I to tears
This music 😭😭. When I hear it I always think about my grandfather
Same here.
Watching this scene and listening to the lyrics, i looked over to my husband. Tears in his eyes as he quietly cried out for his Dad. The line-- Its so hard to move on...still loving whats gone...still life carries on.

Omg the way you worded it makes it even mire sad. Still wishing they had chosen to follow mire modern takes and not kill him off.

It always goes back to the 1978 Movie Line Clark Said,All Those Powers And I Couldn't Even Save Him...
When someone you love dies, they're not truly gone. They're around more than ever
That's what some people say but for me it's not exactly true because you can't even feel that they are still with us or with you.
Bullshit!!!!
this shows that despite all his powers he can't change the course of nature
I can watch and listen this beautiful memorial to a great character jonathan kent
I can't hold my tears
My father passed away one year ago without any warning or symptoms of anything at 69. Since then I have managed to get by and live a good life now that I have a daughter but I am currently binging Smallville on dvd and just saw this episode. Complete relapse. Broke the fuck down.

Watch season 3 when Clark feel his blood maybe can fix Jonathan's heart problem but Jonathan refuse it.
Clark Kent father friend
He dated all three of them
I think they were stepbrothers by that point. Martha had married Lionel.
The only time Martha married Lionel was in Clark's dream/delusion caused by the phantom in the episode Labyrinth.
Yuck!🤢 That'd be disgusting. It was enough of a travesty she was galevanting around with him. Dishonor to Jonathan.
