I felt much worse for his dad than him. The scene right before this where he tells his dad he will just take a bus, his dad is choking back tears trying to make excuses "well I NEED to go, so I know where to visit, come on, help me out here...". That part gutted me. His dad was a great man
Went to the movies to see 28 days later. Ticket guy messed up and gave us tickets to this. 10 minutes in we were like ‘where the zombies at?’. Needless to say, glad he made that mistake.
Amazing movie. Whenever I used to do shots with my brother I’d say “one last whiskey with my boy, taste the barley let it linger” and we’d laugh at my horrible impression of his dad. This movie is on my top 10 of all time. Post 9/11 NYC was like a living, breathing character in this film, and this ending was unbelievable. It all came so close to never happening.
They filmed this movie in my hometown I was a senior in high school and worked at the bbq spot right across the street from the bar Edward Norton and his dad were having there last drink we catered for all the movie stars and production people I got to meet spike lee edward Norton and Rosario Dawson she hung out at our bbq spot most of the day while they were filming she was really cool and down to earth
Spike Lee almost had me. While watching for the first time, I remembered the high color contrast flashbacks when he met Naturelle, in the beginning of the movie, but then he switched back to natural colors when they were leaving the bar. For a second I thought it was real. What an artistic genius!!! !!!!! Such a nice vision throughout the entire film. Treating time as one big illusion. This is pure film-making.
The father reminds me of my old man, after everything I’ve done and he had my back. To this day, my dad wouldn’t watch this film with me and I explained.
4:40. It's so difficult not to cry watching that scene. My Dad is the last person I have in this world. I wouldn't have the strength to do that. Powerful stuff.
@John Becker they were in the mid 90's. They just never got Ewing they help he needed. John Starks was literally working at a Subway or something when he made the team. That dunk though...
An existential parable, in the most American sense... Captures the meaning of the 'aimless car journey', the peripatetic locus of so many anguished moods and midlife crises. Just get in the car and drive, drive and let the road absolve you of the error of your ways, let the road, and the sprawl, transform you into another anonymous, faceless thing with no real ties, and only a fleeting knowledge of the past.
Writing a book or a screenplay is one thing, successfully pulling off the conclusion of such a long and involved series is quite another. Even George RR Martin can't seem to do it and at this rate it seems unlikely that we'll ever see the final book and know the true definite ending.
They should do a sequel where he becomes a big drug dealer in that little town, then has to leave and his dad picks him up and does a long rambling theory about how they could just drive to Canada. Third movie the dad pulls up and is like 'I'm all out of options son. maybe you should just stop drug dealing'
Watching this scene makes me think of my own father who immigrated from Mexico and worked hard to provide for us. As a matter of fact, he’s in this scene (so am I) and my older brother is the bartender. My dad owns the bar where this scene was filmed.
This entire film moved me to tears. Monty had such great friends, such a great girl, and such a great father. They all would've stood by him during his 7 year stretch (probably less than 4 years with good behavior). I realize the end shows that his dad did NOT take a left off the GW bridge (and instead went straight, toward the prison) but Monty had no need to fear prison. He was tough and made friends easily. Prison isn't half as bad as those stupid reality shows try to pretend it is.
@@GigaChadh976 plus Monty stood tall and didn't rat out his supplier and the supplier knew this. It was the fat Russian bodyguard who did. Monty would've been ok.
This movie has some outstanding scenes, Like this one, but it gets far too bogged down in his two friends stories which I can see the symbolism of, but far too much time is spent on their side stories. Knock off 30 minutes of their guff and you have a fantastic movie.
@@88KUNGFUMAN At the beginning of his proposal he says that he can take the GW Bridge and go West. Last scene shows them driving by the GW Bridge. They didn't take the bridge. They didn't go West. He took him to the pen.
after this last scene I was really close to packing my bags and moving to USA from this god forsaken land I live in. Its a shame I didn't foolow through.
Could you do that? Never talk to your father again for the rest of your life for a new start? Personally? I'm doing the jail time. Probably the best shot moments in Spike's career, IMO.
He wanted to be named "James" But his mother was different He stays until his last breath. Monty is pretty similar to me. The guy's not bad, he just make deeper mistakes that me has made. The fact he goes, his dad took another place. Dude, even in my 14 yo. That freaking breaks my heart. Everyone needs a mom, or a dad with those strengh. With the guts to stay there to tell you how to kill your Old self. Greetings from Costa Rica. Thank you friend for upload This...
Even though this scene was fictional in his imagination, where was Monty supposed to have moved to? His father said "out west" but that's sort of vague. What state?
It was Texas. The desolate shots were from El Paso, far west Texas. The bar shots I’m almost certain were around the Austin, Tx. Area(Central Tx Pre Austin Urban Sprawl.) One of the extras, that’s in the fictional family at the very end I’m 99.9999% certain I went to college with in San Antonio. Believe his name is Jason(far right on the couch, hair tucked behind his ears.)
“I’ll hold it for you.” God I miss my dad. Great movie.
It was gut wrenching.
Brilliant Spike Lee respect to everyone to change my life forever
Had to read 25th Hour for college lit class. I’m from NYC and these scenes made me miss home.🥲

20 years later and I still remember this scene. Really impactful.
"Give me the word and we'll go..."
This scene is one of the most underrated in cinema. Always makes me cry. So touching.
"I haven't had a drink in two years, but I'll have one with you. One last whiskey with my boy... take our time with it... taste the barley... let it linger. And then I'll go."
Who Knows he lied. He snuck a drink after Monty had dinner with him

Maybe be a little ashamed. Edward Norton could've married Salma Hayek. Now that's something to cry about.

Nobody should ever be ashamed to cry during the 3rd act of this amazing film.
One of the greatest scenes ever

Spike Lee directed it beautifully, but David Benioff killed it with his monologues.
Don't forget Brian Cox amazing voice over.
I watch this every time life gets tough. It's good to imagine.
Rodrigo Prieto deserves an Oscar for everything hd had done in the past 30 years

Wow you are lucky!
Spike gave us the ending we wanted,and then gave us the ending we needed.

"So you go and nerver come back. You never come home" how hard that must be for a parent to tell that your child
"you all came so close to never happening, this life came so clo to never happening"
That line makes me believe that the escape is the real ending
They don’t make gems like this anymore. Flawless film
When he sends for Naturale... that's when he gets caught.
Thank you whoever added this. Such a powerful gripping moment.
Brian Cox is a treasure.

I named my boy James because of this movie.
This is one of the best scenes in this movie. This is one of Spike Lee’s best.
You find the silence out there...you find the peace...you can find God. Wow that's powerful!
God lives in quiet moments, and he has a lot of history in the desert.

HE GAVE ME A TWENTY BEFORE I GOT IN ONE OF THESE.
I remember tearing up while watching this. That was a great father Monty had. A father's love is just not shown like this anymore 😭
It was just a dream.
I felt a lot worse for his father than for Monty.
They should do a sequel where he becomes a big drug dealer in that little town, then has to leave and his dad picks him up and does a long rambling theory about how they could just drive to Canada.
Third movie the dad pulls up and is like 'I'm all out of options son. maybe you should just stop drug dealing'
Gotta admit this was a lot of drama and running only facing 7 years. Probably be out in 3 with good time
Haha this had me in stichies 😂😂
In the end he went to prison tho
One of best ending ever

Один из лучших фильмов, что я видел... =(
Cut short
one great movie
This was reminiscent of "The Shawshank Redemption" ending.
The Shawshank ending was real though, or at least I hope it was
This isnt really the ending though. The end is when they show him sleeping in the car as his father takes him to prison. It was all a dream
It wasn't technically dream, it was just a fantasy. But close enough.
I thought it was an option laid out by his father that he ended up not doing
They don't show that though. There is no scene when they pull up to the prison gates. That too is left for ones' imaginatoin
Greg James I thought it was up to the viewer to decide what was going to happen, or am I wrong??
@@88KUNGFUMAN
At the beginning of his proposal he says that he can take the GW Bridge and go West. Last scene shows them driving by the GW Bridge. They didn't take the bridge. They didn't go West. He took him to the pen.
Why not just do the 7 years?
He would have got caught.mr shitttttt would've followed natty to the end of hell. Would have truly had to forget about her not to get caught forever😥😢
after this last scene I was really close to packing my bags and moving to USA from this god forsaken land I live in. Its a shame I didn't foolow through.
Beautiful sequence but at end you can see they are driving by the GW and headed north to the prison he is supposed to report to.
Could you do that? Never talk to your father again for the rest of your life for a new start? Personally? I'm doing the jail time. Probably the best shot moments in Spike's career, IMO.
best ending scene
He wanted to be named "James"
But his mother was different
He stays until his last breath.
Monty is pretty similar to me.
The guy's not bad, he just make deeper mistakes that me has made.
The fact he goes, his dad took another place.
