My wife and I watched it in the Cinema upon release and we both absolutely loved it Gritty Great acting and Realistic and when I was watching him walk away I Was Thinking just jump on the Train there Absolutely no reason not too and they had already been through a lot Together and was so satisfied with the Ending. Just a Shame sci fi has taken over the Place westerns formally had in Cinema why so few are made these days and this is my favourite modern one.
How many good men died regretting, not having taken those few steps, not having opened that door. Sometimes to escape oneself seems to require so little but yet all of one's courage.
The power of Shame is so deep; yet, because of the 'few' steps he took, he will be strengthened by his going THROUGH his Shame and learn and be a more complete MAN because of it. Great, Great Movie!!!
I always come back to this video. If she had asked him to come with them, he would have refused. He would have lived alone for the rest of his life and never seen them again; the two people who made him happy. He needed to make the choice himself, solely him. To understand he *can* be happy, he just needed to take the opportunity when it came.
It sounds like such a Hollywood ending on paper, but the way it’s acted by Christian Bale, the cinematography, the score, makes such a powerful closure
His pause to walk through the door of the train had me panicking . In this whole scene the only thing Joe says to Rosalie is “came sooner than I thought “ but yet they spoke volumes to each they through their looks and body language . When he turned to look at the train I remember standing up slightly from the couch . Then we he hung his head for a second my heart sunk because I thought he was hanging his head , in acceptance , that a life with her would never be his, and I thought he was gonna turn again and walk away . I swear in that 2 seconds he hung his head I felt so many emotions . When he walked to the train I stood up. When he walked on I had tears in my eyes and his pause at the door had my heart racing . When he walked through I just started bawling . I would give anything to see Rosalie’s reaction to him walking through the door . Amazing acting .
I watched this at the theater. As Bale got on the train, waited for a few seconds and then opened the door, the entire theater erupted in applause and a standing ovation…to a screen!!! Words cannot describe the emotional energy in that theater that day!!
I picked this movie randomly to watch while on a cross-country flight. I couldn't figure out how to explain to my seatmates why I was totally bawling my eyes out. Just watched the scene again for the first time in years and the same thing happened. A massively underrated film.
This scene is beautiful for several different reasons. Rosalie found safety and support from Joe when she was all but ready to put out her own candle. Unbeknown to him, he gave her hope despite the absolute tragedy of her losses. Joe, if left to a life on his own - outside of what he had known for so long, would likely have gone the same way as Tommy. His anguish at all he had done and seen would have kept him locked in his own dark. Rosalie not only shows to him that life can go on, but helps him realise he and his life are redeemable because she sees the goodness and worth in him. She opens up another avenue for him after serving, but much like Little Bear will be dependent on Rosalie to survive and grow, they would both need each other too. The slow motion filming to me, not only builds the full emotional impact of the scene but it displays the changing of his world - it's like we're with him in his mind as he slowly realises this change must happen for him. His legs take him to the train where he boards. He collects himself whilst holding onto the handrail, then as if letting go of his old life, he releases it and walks through the door to a new one. One of my favourite films for sure.
i totally agree with all your points. also, as i watched this scene, i kept thinking about Little Bear. His whole family, and thus the tie to his Cheyenne culture, was killed off. He doesn’t know any English, and now he’s being thrust into a new foreign world, with no connection to his heritage. In the end, Blocker is now going serve as the connection to that severed heritage, knowing the language and having a familiarity with the culture and practices. Subsequently, Blocker (in my interpretation) is fully redeeming himself of his past sins. Although he already made peace with Yellow Hawk, by protecting, raising, and speaking the Cheyenne language with Yellow Hawk’s grandson, he is carrying out an act of contrition for his actions against Yellow Hawk and the tribe. This was my interpretation, and still I agree with your comment. I just interpreted this tertiary ending while watching it, and the thought of it really got me. Maybe I’m just reading too deep into it though lol
The bit that hits the hardest in this scene is when she calls him a fine man and can’t look at her. He has had to be something other than that for so long that he no longer sees the good himself. But she does, she knows what he is and loves him for it. A beautiful and underrated gem of a movie.
Was anybody else shouting internal "get on that train Joe" and when he did it was like Hell Yeahhhh just a release of good emotions for him, great acting from everybody involved in this movie
He won the most important battle of his life. The battle with himself. No one knows true solitude and despair like men of war. He had to fight against his own nature, a nature created by men like the Colonel who only give orders and expect obedience no matter the human cost. At the moment he turns about you can tell that he’s contemplating the men he lost and not abandoning the memories of them. He knows that getting on the train is what he has to do because not getting almost surely means death by his own hand. It’s the only way he truly gets to live.
The way we can see exactly what Joe thinks and feels through stern looks and blank eyes is so telling of Bale’s quality. One of the very best actors of our time
This scene broke my heart while entrusting me with hope. It's like changing of seasons. Rosamund Pike shines... Never knew these two would look this good. What a chemistry!
Finest of films, and most powerful of endings as Blocker turns back to see the train leave without him.. and we see the dawning that he has the right to choose to be on it, and that it is the path he rightfully and unselfishly takes. Absolutely stunning performances by Bale, also Pike, Studi et al, gorgeous cinematography courted by a sympathetic score second to none.
The bravest thing Blocker does in the entire movie is get on the train. It's hard to leave trauma behind, it seems like leaving who you are behind... who/how will you be without it? I can't think of a more important or greater movie.
You can feel him confronting his fears, winning, then saying goodbye to his old life, old comrades and old dreams, then uttering a silent prayer for strength and wisdom to live his new life well, as a husband and father. You want to see her face when he appears in the carriage, but know it's better that we are all left to imagine how wonderful that moment is. A great ending to a gut-wrenching film.
God but Rosamund Pike is a gorgeous woman. As for Capt. Blocker [Bale], everyone who thinks of themselves as a warrior is one day faced with a choice: to put down the sword and seek a peaceful life or turn away and go to whatever perdition or fate awaits them. And I say that as a combat veteran myself. You can still be determined, have willpower, be focused, and have goals as a person of peace but your basic mission is life changes. There is an old saying, 'Being a soldier is easy. Being a civilian is easy. It's the change that's hard'. But it's even harder to become a civilian again. But if you're going to be a good spouse, a good parent, and a contributor to your community, you have to stop breaking and start building.
one of the best films I have ever seen hands down. and max richter's score had me in absolute tears. that shot of him at 3:56 looking at that train then finally deciding to change his mind and leave his past behind as all 3 of them lost everything and join them on that train is beautifully shot....such an incredible film...and christian bale was absolutely on fire in this roll....the music track is called never goodbye.
I grew up watching old westerns. For me, this is one of the best westerns ever made, and the acting throughout is fantastic, as is the cinematography, the score, and the story itself. I think Bale portrays the character perfectly, and the director allowed scenes to slowly build, allow the actors to convey emotion (woman on the train was a one-shot nearly 30 seconds, and Bale's 'decision' one-shot also nearly 30 seconds) with music crescendo. Amazing film.
It’s 2am and I’ve just finished watching this movie. Felt an urge to pen my thoughts on the experience of having watched this movie.... A film that uses brutality to teach us the failings of all us humans...that violence only begets violence. It teaches us the meaning of forgiveness and the need to find love in the darkest of moments...to understand we as humans have failings in us all.....no one group,faith, race, clan, our country can claim sovereignty for the throne of high morality.. We are all responsible for the world we create, but the hope that lies in that responsibility is that we have also the power to bring about hope, peace and love if we can only find the courage to always claim love in every moment and even more so when our hearts are full of rage and anger.. Always choose love. Oh and Max Richter take a bow for one hell of a movie score...soulful, hypnotic, epic.
Beautifully written. Almost a shame the sentence structure, punctuation and formatting of your writeup wasn't a bit more 'polished', so as to stand in unison with - and complement the undeniably profound nature of - the message contained therein. Nonetheless, I digress; the nitpicky notion that your post exhibits subpar formatting - and furthermore detracts from it's overall presentation and quality - was merely an excuse for me to show off my own capacity for linguistic excellence, by elaborating upon a moot point with a degree of sophistication and depth that is admittedly - and much to my detriment - utterly indicative of a deficiency in heterosexual qualities by the writer (being myself). Additionally, the grotesquely obvious and offensively unnecessary run-on sentence, which was featured at the inceptive portion of this current paragraph, stands to serve not only as a grand contradiction to the very message it stands to deliver, but is itself another shameful paradigm omnipresent within this commentary; which can only logically lead one to conclude - again, much to my detriment - that the writer of such a ballyhoo as this must surely be in possession of a male reproductive organ so small it can only be seen with a microscope. Thus, I shall declare at once; I'm honestly just high as fuck and have no idea what I'm doing
This film and the performances in it blow away the competition for the awards the year it came out, like it’s not even close. I had to see this movie multiple times in the theater and several times now that I own it. It’s just incredible.
The Indian boy lost his family, she lost her husband, Joe blocker lost his wife....they might as well be 1 big family and ride it out to the sunset in my opinion 😉
Similar ending with one of my ancestors. In his letter We came this far and shared this lived through this together. We couldn't just let it end a go out separate ways. God wouldn't allow it. Until this day I know the Lord's invisible hands guiding me to where she waits, its been too long...so happy to follow you my love like that first day.
Truly one of the Greatest ending of all time, makes me cry almost everytime I watch it. His character choosing in that Split second to go back on the train and be with the Only 2 people in the world he now cares about and loves. It's a Perfect and Heavy emotional ending to an already heavy film 10/10
I watched this at the theater, and I must have gotten up and left before he got on the train. I just watched this at home and until the very end. I was really surprised to see him get on the train. Made me feel good to see them be together..
Has to be Christian's best performance in my opinion. Everything about this film is wonderful, and just brilliant performances from everyone. Just an utterly incredible film.
Hands down one of the best movies period. This even had the whole theater stand up and applaud it was powerful! Bale is one of the greatest talents On screen.
The last few moments before entering the traincar he was already all-in. He was on board. He just knew those would be the last moments he would ever alone again. He knew his duty amass the tragedy of his pain. Suffering for the cause. Honor while surrounded in a world of chaos and madness while yet being just as evil and knowing that truth.
One of the few actors that was great as a kid and an adult. Jodie Foster would be another on the list. Henry Cavill too I suppose if you consider him a kid in The Count of Monte Cristo.
This is an incredible film that takes you on a journey that cuts you so excruciatingly deep...makes you bleed so profusely you almost become faint...then beautifully and almost inexplicably heals you. Amazing.
I could see Rosalie had an attachment/was forming a bond with Joe throughout the movie, but with Joe, he couldve went either way I was so happy when he turned back around & got on the train The 3 of them lost everyone & everything, them ending up together somehow is so fitting, such a tragic ending, yet you feel a little consolation they at least they have each other
Christian Bale is one of the greatest actors of all time. Everything that Christian Bale touches is pure genius. As a soldier he’ seen war and done unthinkable things that changes all men. We come home lost, broken, angry and suffering from PTSD. I could see myself when Rosalie was talking to Joe, he just couldn’t not answer and express how he felt. I got very emotional at the end. From the way Christian Bale walked back in slow motion to the train and the score made this scene that more powerful. Everything that Christian Bale touches is pure genius. One of the best movies I have ever seen. Semper FI
This scene and the final scene in LAST OF THE MOHICANS (the run to save the two women from Magua's grasp) are the most romantic non-romantic scenes ever committed to film!
This masterpiece deserves a global audience. Spread the word. Same with “Equalizer 3.” Be kind. Always. Take care of one another. Always: “Speak out against the madness.”
Watching this made the hairs on the back of my neck rise up. Christian Bale's performance makes me feel like this is a journey so many Americans had to go through to come to terms with their own bitterness, resentments and racist emotions and grievances but come out of it as better human beings. Could there be a more relevant film for Americans to watch today?
I’m not sure why but I always imagine bale walking up to them and sitting right in front them as an ending it’s weird but so amazing it’s probably because of the direction. Although the movie doesn’t have the scene it leaves me with that imagination and I watched this movie multiple times Lool.
The last scene was shot at the Chama, N.M. Station of the Cumbres & Toltec. Although you don't get very good look at it, Engine 463 is known as the "Gene Autry" engine. Because it was donated to the railroad by Gene Autry. The railroad is still in operation and is known as one of the top 3 "scenic" railroads for "fall colors" season.
Even though I have watched this scene a hundred times, I still yearned for him to say something although I know that this is his weakness. And right at the end when he finally chose love, for the hundredth time it brought a tear to my eye. I guess it always will.
What a wonderful movie where a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
You sir are 100% correct. Your comment is now pin
@@tomsp1138 if that's what you got out of the movie you need to watch it three more times.

Words can't describe how happy I was he turned around and got on the train.
Same feeling!
Man I must’ve watched this ending 200 times…what a great film. I’m 31 so I didn’t see all the greats but I loved the wild bunch. All about loyalty
The music does it.

spoil it why don't you
The fact that Bale wasn't even nominated for this performance just goes to show what a crock most of it is
All 3 of them had lost everything and everyone in their lives. It only makes sense for them to be together.
Never thought about it that way.
How many good men died regretting, not having taken those few steps, not having opened that door. Sometimes to escape oneself seems to require so little but yet all of one's courage.
The power of Shame is so deep; yet, because of the 'few' steps he took, he will be strengthened by his going THROUGH his Shame and learn and be a more complete MAN because of it. Great, Great Movie!!!
There’s a time for stoicism. At the end of that time, it’s time to be a man.

It sounds like such a Hollywood ending on paper, but the way it’s acted by Christian Bale, the cinematography, the score, makes such a powerful closure
The fact Bale can say things without speaking and display emotions and sentiments with simple headnods is great.
And let's not forget what it quintessentially leaves out. Negative space is a sofisticated move of any fine art.
@@Featheon whats negative space
Because Bale makes everything better
Max Richter is such a wonderful composer.

One of my absolute favorite scenes... I remember watching and being like "DUDE GET ON THE TRAIN!!!" 🙂
I cried like a baby when I 1st saw this. This movie hits me hard.
How Christian Bale can act like this? Just perfect!
"You are a fine man John Walker"....I would...collapse hearing this from a woman of that caliber....
The bit that hits the hardest in this scene is when she calls him a fine man and can’t look at her. He has had to be something other than that for so long that he no longer sees the good himself. But she does, she knows what he is and loves him for it. A beautiful and underrated gem of a movie.
I know exactly what he's feeling.
Was anybody else shouting internal "get on that train Joe" and when he did it was like Hell Yeahhhh just a release of good emotions for him, great acting from everybody involved in this movie

Intense - and every time I watch and listen it seems to get more so every time
The decision to come home is not an easy one. But it is choosing Life. Wonderful film.
That’s quite possibly the best quote ive ever read
Such a powerful illustration of when a man is ready to step up as a husband and father.
Sometimes broken men don't believe they are worthy of happiness or dreams of, because of all the bad stuff they've done. Powerful scene.
*What a scene and what an acting. She begged it to the nth degree without saying it. He responds perfectly in the end!*
The bravest thing Blocker does in the entire movie is get on the train.
It's hard to leave trauma behind, it seems like leaving who you are behind... who/how will you be without it?

This film is epic. A masterpiece.
It’s dishonorable for the Oscar academy to not recognize this as a best picture of the year nominee,a riveting Christian Bale classic.
totally agree
The soundtrack is Max Richter's "Never Goodbye".
For all who need to know.
Never really talked to the tv before but watching this I was screaming "Go with her you fool! Go!"
A wonderfully powerful, emotional film.
My favorite ending of all time
The Indian boy lost his family, she lost her husband, Joe blocker lost his wife....they might as well be 1 big family and ride it out to the sunset in my opinion 😉
he lost his wife? I thought he was never maried.
Native American, not Indian
Beautifully shot movie with a beautiful sound track

The last few moments before entering the traincar he was already all-in. He was on board. He just knew those would be the last moments he would ever alone again. He knew his duty amass the tragedy of his pain. Suffering for the cause. Honor while surrounded in a world of chaos and madness while yet being just as evil and knowing that truth.
The movie is massively underrated. Christian Bale is one of the greatest actors of his generation, he is simply very talented.
He was great in Empire of the Sun, as a child!
@@commonsenseisntcommon1776yes. I saw that movie many times! Even at such a young age, he was absolutely extraordinary! ❤
Christian Bale is a phenomenal actor. One of the best I have ever seen.
One of the few actors that was great as a kid and an adult. Jodie Foster would be another on the list. Henry Cavill too I suppose if you consider him a kid in The Count of Monte Cristo.
This scene is awesome and the music is superb
Joe completed the dangerous mission,and retires honorably.Happy ending.
Movie 8.9/10 Ending 10/10
This is an incredible film that takes you on a journey that cuts you so excruciatingly deep...makes you bleed so profusely you almost become faint...then beautifully and almost inexplicably heals you. Amazing.
Such a dramatic scene (till you realize he just wanna Come on board without buying a ticket)
LOL
he is bruce wayne...he owns the train company
@@ghorbani Not only that, he own the train also
He could probably buy a ticket on board...
Got a pass from the president
Such an underrated movie with some many fine performances.
I could see Rosalie had an attachment/was forming a bond with Joe throughout the movie, but with Joe, he couldve went either way
I was so happy when he turned back around & got on the train
The 3 of them lost everyone & everything, them ending up together somehow is so fitting, such a tragic ending, yet you feel a little consolation they at least they have each other
VERY under-rated movie.
Every CB role is spectacular.
the scene is simply beautiful
First rate performance by Pike and Bale...and the Direction was perfect as well
I haven't watched the movie for maybe 4 years or so and forgot how heavy the ending scene was/is. Wow, just wow...
Cuantos años pasaron para ver un final tan perfecto.
Que gran momento y sentimiento sentí cuando voltea y camina al tren.
Hermoso.
THIS scene is the payoff for the entire plot and film, before.
This was the best movie! I’ve watched the ending 10 times. Can’t believe I didn’t know about it before. If you’re a Yellowstone fan you’ll love this.
Not even remotely related to one another. There are no stories of such depth and truth in that Kevin Costner ego stroking fake cowboy macho fest.
Perfection at its finest
Christian Bale is one of the greatest actors of all time. Everything that Christian Bale touches is pure genius. As a soldier he’ seen war and done unthinkable things that changes all men. We come home lost, broken, angry and suffering from PTSD. I could see myself when Rosalie was talking to Joe, he just couldn’t not answer and express how he felt. I got very emotional at the end. From the way Christian Bale walked back in slow motion to the train and the score made this scene that more powerful. Everything that Christian Bale touches is pure genius. One of the best movies I have ever seen. Semper FI
Somehow, this amazing movie would have been so much the worse if not for this "happy" ending. It feels SOOOO earned.
Oh my God this is beautiful. The acting is so powerful and understated. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes and I haven't even seen the movie.
One of the best Western movies.
This scene and the final scene in LAST OF THE MOHICANS (the run to save the two women from Magua's grasp) are the most romantic non-romantic scenes ever committed to film!
In that category I'd add the "she weren't no trouble," line from Jeremiah Johnson.
One of my favorite movie endings of all time. Not a word of dialogue for the last two minutes.
This masterpiece deserves a global audience. Spread the word. Same with “Equalizer 3.” Be kind. Always. Take care of one another. Always: “Speak out against the madness.”
An ending well deserved. I'm glad they let it end on a somber, yet hopeful ending.
Watching this made the hairs on the back of my neck rise up. Christian Bale's performance makes me feel like this is a journey so many Americans had to go through to come to terms with their own bitterness, resentments and racist emotions and grievances but come out of it as better human beings. Could there be a more relevant film for Americans to watch today?
This was such an amazing film, and the performances were outstanding. I love this ending scene so much
I’m not sure why but I always imagine bale walking up to them and sitting right in front them as an ending it’s weird but so amazing it’s probably because of the direction. Although the movie doesn’t have the scene it leaves me with that imagination and I watched this movie multiple times Lool.
This ending sequence had such a profound impact on me
Sometime we have to make the choice to be happy.
The last scene was shot at the Chama, N.M. Station of the Cumbres & Toltec. Although you don't get very good look at it, Engine 463 is known as the "Gene Autry" engine. Because it was donated to the railroad by Gene Autry. The railroad is still in operation and is known as one of the top 3 "scenic" railroads for "fall colors" season.
Wow. Thanks! ❤
A masterpiece of acting and filmmaking!
That moment, when he’s holding still to that railing. He’s weighing his decisions and wanting to walk away. That is the best acting I have ever seen
Bale is amazing. Lead actress same. Masterpiece.
Rosamund Pike is the actress. Gone Girl, I Care A Lot, Doom, amongst others.
Thanks for uploading. Such an underrated film!
We were needing this!❤
IMO Hostiles ranks right up among the best portrayals of the West ever. I'd even put it above Unforgiven. The Max Richter score adds a lot.
Even though I have watched this scene a hundred times, I still yearned for him to say something although I know that this is his weakness. And right at the end when he finally chose love, for the hundredth time it brought a tear to my eye. I guess it always will.
