One of my favourite indie movies. I find this last scene so intense.. Beautiful, really. I just found the italian version, but I think you can get it right
I’m here because of Billions. I loved the scene from season 5. Such a small scene that says so much. The fact it’s an homage (omage) makes it even better
That's why I'm here. The scene annoyed me in Billions because I didn't know the back story, I also wasn't aware of how use to senseless talking we are.
This scene changed everything I knew about movies. The fact there was no talking was actually the director telling me there's a difference between Hollywood movies and great films. Think I was like 20 or so.
Paul Giamatti and the crew really nailed their homage to this scene last week 👏🏻👏🏻 I was high when I watched it too, so I actually enjoyed it in a fascinating way 😂🤷🏻♂️
One of the greatest endings to any movie ever. Simple, yet powerful and as full of emotion as any of the scenes that came before it. After the lavish and extravagant dinner that the movie was building towards and the bitter conflict that came from it, the final moments are ones of silent reconciliation and brotherly love over eggs and bread. Primo and Secondo are more than likely going to return to Italy or live in poverty in America, but no matter what they do they will do it arm in arm as brothers. Beautiful.
Until I read these comments I thought I was a bit strange for finding this one of the most moving film scenes ever. No movie scene has ever touched me more. The camera moves ONE time. All of the emotions of the film are packed into this scene with nary a word spoken. AND, it’s still all about the food. There’s a lot of what I would call, GRACE in this scene.
GOD, I love this movie. AND I love this scene so much. Four lines spoken. And in spite of the venom spewed the night before, and when all things seem lost, there is still love between these brothers. Cuisine brings everyone together. THAT'S what true move-making is about. No dialogue. Just actions. Thanks for posting, kanedaKD!
Walking around in Brookline Mass by myself on a Sunday night in the the fall of 96. I decided to see a film i've never heard of titled Big Night at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. Such a wonderful memory.
Wow,... That was just three (3) years removed from my time at Boston University (I finished grad school in 1993), and lived in Brookline, Mass, too! I lived on Washington St and walked to Coolidge Corner every day (via Park Ave) to either catch the "T" to school; or grab a slice of pizza (there was a pizza shop nearby), or to go to the supermarket a few blocks over. Coolidge Corner was a beautiful, clean corner. Those two years there are a favorite memory in my young life. 🤗
...This final scene brought me to tears... it's right up there with the final scene in The Deer Hunter... sometimes there is tremendous power in understatement... this is like poetry...
This is, strangely, one of my very favorite movie scenes of any film. It serves as the antidote to the entire fim's drama and the mania of the big night itself. And then, there's something timeless in the simplicity of an omellete served with crusty bread. And please, always cook eggs with olive oil.
@@rayseva1278 I do like my eggs cooked all the way through, and have sighed often in frustration when runniness and softness are aimed for: it makes me feel like I'm being told I "like it wrong".
Olive Oil makes the eggs tender and with a sublime texture. The flavor of the eggs is cleaner too. Try it sometime you will convert like I did. If you want a little butter flavor, you can add a pat to the oil or, better, near the end of the cooking.@@robshred66
Im so happy there are so many people who loves this scene. This is my favorite ending and makes me cry every time I watch it. Thanks for posting. Super awesome.
It is just that three guys are eating egg and bread in the kitchen. Still this scene really touches my heart. Sometimes Italians show their genius in such a way.
Imamura Kenichiro It helps that everything that followed was the buildup to and payoff of Primo’s lavish and extravagant dinner, and yet the final moments are one of quiet reconciliation over a simple breakfast that is no frills and only what it needs to be. It’s the scene that elevated the entire movie from being just another comedy-drama with an emphasis on food and family into one of my all time favorite movies.
@Imamura I wish I could experience less noise coming from the mouths of Italians like this. At least American-Italians and "real" Italians from Napoli on south. Five minutes of silence? No needless yapping? Beautiful.
Notice that this entire scene is 100% uncut! From the initial entrance, to cracking the eggs, to cooking and flipping them in the pan, to serving them, and to the final hugs - this scene had to be done perfectly, and was. Brilliant!
Uncut, maybe, but not still. Camera shifts three feet to the right. Stage hand switches out pan with safe cooked omelette that won't poison actors. Camera shifts back. Job done.
This scene speaks volumes to those who can see beyond the obvious. The great irony being that after all the fancy food they serve their guests they wind up eating scrambled eggs and bread together suggesting that at the heart of the matter there are only basic, fundamental things in life that matter, like love. Success and glitter always play second fiddle to love. They are striving to be successful but now they have lost everything except each other and they appear to be content with that. One of the finest movies I have ever seen and the movie really does speak to the heart of the Italian ethos. I am privileged to know this first hand.
There are a lot of famous long-take shots but this is the best I can recall for the perfect physical expressiveness of the actors. Watching Tucci is like watching a great ballet dancer improvise a choreography.
My favorite movie scene of all time. So perfect. The movements, the timing the emotion...pure perfection! Many years after I saw this film I had the pleasure of being able to share with Stanley Tucci my great gratitude for having witnessed such a supreme scene. It was so wonderful to be able to thank someone who had been involved in the co-creation of such a masterpiece. Thanks for posting this gem.
A clinic in storytelling, acting and unobtrusive direction in a single quiet scene. At the end, without a word, you see the brotherly love and that everything is going to be okay.
Stanley Tucci is one of the great actors of our times...my wife and I love this film and as has been said...this scene is perfect, even if the night wasn't...he kicked it up another notch in 'Julie/Julia' as Paul Child
They need to re-release this movie. It was soo ahead of it's time! People now can appreciate it more with the Foodnetwork craze. I loved this movie when it first came out, I love it more now!
A great movie and a family classic. I remember this scene so well that tonight I was watching the show Billions and they copied this scene in S5 E10. The silence , the three egg omelette , the bread and in the show Chuck Rhoads daughter sits on the counter .
I'm Irish, but I love this filem because I love food and I love this scene particularly, because I love my brother and this scene sums it up perfectly. Also, I always use olive oil for eggs, instead of butter.
This scene alone pushed this movie from “Yeah, it’s a pretty good movie” into one of my all time favorites. It’s simple, beautiful, and perfect. A moment of quiet reconciliation over a simple breakfast of eggs and bread, contrasted against the lavish and decadent dinner that followed. It’s a testament to the power of film and how it can convey deep emotions through simple and understated movements and gestures.
It’s a film worth owning, as I’m frequently reminded of the perfection & flaws in these characters… this past year I had to buy the DVD! Worth ever penny too. It’s in this scene alone…. that you realize the love they have for each other and that they’ll do whatever they must do to make their dreams happen. I don’t believe they will give up.
To me, this is one of the best scenes in any film of all time. It strikes close at the heart of what it means to make your way in the world. When things go wrong. Don't think too much. Stick by your people, and move forward.
having had to work with brothers in different fields including entertainment I found this scene to be very poignant it is about that unspoken love that family has for one another and the whole movie was a great surprise for me!! thanks for the POST Cheers!
I love this scene. I think I've watched it 40 to 50 times over the years. Over and over....I'm kind of mesmerized by this final scene. If you watch carefully, it's a single shot....no edits...which is very unusual in any film. Great stuff...and gets me in the mood for some of this breakfast Frittata.
It's literally, figuratively back to square one. A plain omelette/egg preparation is day one of cooking school. And now that they're broke they don't even have cheese or dill, anything for the omelette. And of course the simplicity of the meal serves as counterpoint to the extravagance of the big night's menu. And splitting it three ways. Yes, chock full of symbolism. One take and he didn't screw up the eggs. Stainless steel and eggs, what a pro, he still has the skills. I need to rewatch it.
To echo the comments made by many here, this is a beautiful ending to this film. Hardly any words spoken. And in spite of all the failures of the night before, the understated love of these two brothers exists in a simple meal of eggs and Italian bread. I get misty and hungry just watching it. Thanks for posting!
This is such a great movie...!!! Fine-tasted directed, shaped, produced, fine taste humor, crafted, great humor.and indeed such an simple but perfect indeed
da cuoco credo che ogni persona che lavori in una cucina debba vedere questo film e leggere"kitchen confidential" di antony bourdain...as a"chèf" I think that anyone who wants to work in a kitchen should watch this movie and read antony bourdain's kitchen confidential. A must!
One of the most amazing things about this scene is that it was shot as one scene in one take!! No breaks frtom beginning to end. The name of the song at beginning and end is "Stornelli Amorisi" sung by the late, great Claudio Villa. I have been unable to find a recording anywhere but on the soundtrack for "Big Night."
Questa scena è cosi emozionante...il gioco degli attori è bellissimo e l'idea dell'amore attraverso il solo legame di sangue è cosi evidente in pochi secondi cioè l'abbraccio finale e cosi pudico di questi due fratelli. Commovente.

I recognized it too!! Good call! 👍
It fits totally in with all the movie references, quotes, characters they use in their dialoque. shows the makers are real movie fans, love it!
Omelette du Homage
Anyone else here from watching Hot Ones?
A true classic. I love when he puts the bread in the basket, because he knows his brother doesn't like it on the table.
This scene changed everything I knew about movies. The fact there was no talking was actually the director telling me there's a difference between Hollywood movies and great films. Think I was like 20 or so.
Simply amazing. If only more directors would realize the effect that such minimalism can have. One of the greatest scenes in movie history.

It’s really ambiguous. Or because of the food critic through word of mouth they manage to get it right.

Wait what did Hot Ones say about this?

Notice that this entire scene is 100% uncut!
From the initial entrance, to cracking the eggs, to cooking and flipping them in the pan, to serving them, and to the final hugs - this scene had to be done perfectly, and was. Brilliant!
Yeah......no shit
Lol this guy just cracked 3 eggs in a pan, that's it.
@@dieeees try doing even that, Moron, then try doing it in a 5 minute scene when you never stop. Actually, don't try...you're too stupid

One of the all time best final scenes of a movie ever.
Most definitely. My first time seeing it was through sobbing tears. So painfully endearing. Love Love Love

Anybody who brings up the last scene in “The Third Man” has to include this scene in the conversation.
I was just thinking the same thing.
It’s a film worth owning, as I’m frequently reminded of the perfection & flaws in these characters… this past year I had to buy the DVD! Worth ever penny too.
It’s in this scene alone…. that you realize the love they have for each other and that they’ll do whatever they must do to make their dreams happen. I don’t believe they will give up.
I've always loved this movie, and have absolutely adored the last scene forever.
To me, this is one of the best scenes in any film of all time. It strikes close at the heart of what it means to make your way in the world.
When things go wrong. Don't think too much. Stick by your people, and move forward.
Hot ones Bobby Flay episode brought me here. This is a pretty wholesome scene
One of the greatest endings I've ever seen.
Billions season 5 episode 10 brought me here. Graci!!
Bobby Flay sent me here. Did not disappoint!
Billions just put me on. This is OBVIOUSLY where the reference came from

This is a scene that hits home for anyone who has worked in a kitchen. Wonderful!!!!!
I am here after watching Billions too, I loved the scene
the sights and sounds without hardly a word said makes this scene so beautiful. awesome ending. so artsie fartsie.
This is just a classic scene. nothing is better then scrambled eggs when you are just beat. beautiful scene.

No special effects, no music, no dialogue. This is what makes this scene so good. Love this movie.

a great and simple scene. i also love the way the whole scene is shot in one long "take". you don't see that much in movies today.
Hot Ones and Bobby Flay brought me here!
With all the amazing Italian food in this film, nothing tempted me more than these eggs and bread.
Eileen D I don’t eat scrambled eggs as much as I used to but I always piled them on top of my toast like Christiano does in this scene
Unforgettable. Still brings tears to my eyes.
now THIS is a movie...a flick to see again and again.
This is such a great movie...!!! Fine-tasted directed, shaped, produced, fine taste humor, crafted, great humor.and indeed such an simple but perfect indeed
No special effects. No melodramatic or sappy music/score. Except for the first few words, no dialogue. My favorite ending to any film.
Billions brought me here... Not really I watched big night long before 😜😜😜
This was a beautiful film, everything went so wrong but this little scene made you think things may be all right..
@tncutt For sure. I swear this movie will never get old. Intensely great.
This is 1 of the most perfect film endings ever conceived the acting is a pleasure to watch and the bittersweet victory lies in true brotherhood.
I just watched this film last night, thought it was spectacular and this final scene is the perfect ending.
So simple. So simple, And that's why it's beautiful.
The love is in the air I wish I had a relationship with my brothers like this

thks for poting this! Now I'm going to look for th "hot dog" scene!
Love this scene, but never understood how three eggs feeds three people.
Jasontis1 the frying pan is big itself,but spreading 1 or 2 eggs would make it too thin so three is just right
Breakfast is supposed to be a very light affair in some European countries, so maybe...?
Dam, demz eggz iz big!

So important. Brotherhood.
